00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,640
On everybody, BT Unleash back on
this, we got a little Thursday 

2
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,120
action here. 
Hopefully everybody's doing 

3
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,720
well, but of course, BT Unleash 
brought to you by my friends at 

4
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,720
Sullivan Propane and Premio 
Sausage. 

5
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,840
I'm J Rod. 
We we, we there are so many 

6
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,240
things that we have to get into.
The challenge today was not 

7
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,360
structuring the show. 
The challenge today is making 

8
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,400
sure that we hit everything. 
All right, we got we, we also 

9
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,160
have today our first BT 
Unleashed giveaway and it is a 

10
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,920
great one. 
So let's start the show. 

11
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,120
Hopefully everybody's doing 
well. 

12
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,400
A little rainy here in the 
Northeast. 

13
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,400
It's kind of you still get this 
at this point of the year. 

14
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,560
Like yesterday I was wearing 
shorts on the practice field 

15
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,880
with the kids. 
Today I ran to the store to get 

16
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,200
a bottle of water, had a gas up 
and I basically had on my parka.

17
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,560
So it's a little bit of a shift 
in the weather, but it is all 

18
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:13,800
good. 
We'll get to the gangs, get to 

19
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,440
the Mets. 
Got some NFL draft for you as 

20
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,360
well now yesterday. 
All right, how great was Stephen

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,440
A Smith? 
Stephen A Smith, I mean he was. 

22
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,040
If you guys missed this, make 
sure you go and check it out 

23
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,360
there. 
I already saw a national write 

24
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,840
up about Stephen A. 
Just show him that little 

25
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,960
preacher outfit there because we
got to hook up Pastor Ariel. 

26
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:36,240
Look, look at Easter. 
Stevie, Stevie, my man Stevie. 

27
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,600
He was on Unleashed yesterday 
for almost 2 hours and really 

28
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,880
the only reason why it ended is 
because I kind of felt bad 

29
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,600
taking up the guy's time. 
I'm like, he's been here for an 

30
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,000
hour and 51 minutes. 
It's not like he was like yo, 

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,480
BTI got to bounce. 
He was so good with his time and

32
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,000
even more importantly, he was so
introspective. 

33
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,280
Like I've known and you know, I 
don't know if you guys really 

34
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,800
believe me. 
Like as I've said, I haven't 

35
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,800
known Stephen A for a long time.
I think that was very apparent 

36
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,400
in the conversation that we had.
But even even having met him in 

37
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,200
2004, like I knew some of the 
stories, like when his brother 

38
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,280
was killed in the automobile 
accident, you know, some of the 

39
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,960
dynamics with his dad and just 
the way he was brought up in 

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,480
Queens and, and all the other 
things. 

41
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,960
But, I mean, he, I didn't know 
that he almost died. 

42
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,440
I did not. 
I did not know that during code.

43
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,840
And I knew he was. 
Yeah, I know we had a little bit

44
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,800
of a rough battle with COVID. 
I didn't know it was that bad. 

45
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,160
He was just awesome. 
Jay, you were producing this. 

46
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,720
Obviously I went back and I 
watched a little piece of it and

47
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,320
I, I, I think it's the best 
thing we've done so far on the 

48
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,560
channel. 
I think it was that good. 

49
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,280
How about it's? 
Great. 

50
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,560
I mean, it just felt different. 
It felt I was almost saying it 

51
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,840
to you yesterday. 
Like it felt magical. 

52
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,120
Like there was just something 
mystifying about, you know, 

53
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,840
seeing it go down and he got 
real. 

54
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,800
And like, I think The funny 
thing, it was like, and you 

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,560
know, for anyone who's going to 
check it out, you know, get to 

56
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,280
the end when you're doing the 
quick hits, you're like, yo, 

57
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,880
let's do them quick. 
This dude could have gone for an

58
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,600
hour on each of those questions 
and he would and he would have 

59
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,000
been happy to. 
So I thought that was what was 

60
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,520
so great, was like he was 
invested, he was locked in, yes.

61
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,200
Awesome. 
Yeah. 

62
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,160
He, I'm usually, I'm the one who
drags on and drones on. 

63
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,800
I'm like, no, Steve. 
The point of this is we're doing

64
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,040
quick hits, man. 
I want to get some stuff about 

65
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,000
the Knicks. 
The crazy thing before we get to

66
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,400
some other stuff. 
The crazy thing about the 

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,520
conversation with Steve is that 
you tell me, Jared, if you think

68
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,480
I'm all faced with this. 
If I had to guess, I would say 

69
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,360
that about 90 to 95% of the 
almost two hours is not really 

70
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,920
about sports. 
No, not at all, right. 

71
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,400
I mean, it, it's it's very 
fresh, you know, I feel like it,

72
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,480
it's a it's a true in not 
interview, but it's a true 

73
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,040
conversation That's that's free 
flowing. 

74
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,840
You know, it doesn't feel like, 
and I mean, I'm sure this is 

75
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,960
obviously how you did it, but it
didn't feel like there was any 

76
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,480
true plan to it other than, you 
know, the end. 

77
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,280
Get into some quick topics, but 
you really let the man flow go 

78
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,480
on his own thing and just great.
He, he really was awesome. 

79
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,840
I can't think of enough for his 
time. 

80
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,720
And I've already seen one 
national article that was 

81
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,240
written about it really, really 
lauding the conversation. 

82
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,519
So I certainly appreciate that. 
Guys, go and check it out. 

83
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,399
You know, carve out, you know, I
don't know if you're going to 

84
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:23,160
sit there for two hours 
straight, Maybe you've got to 

85
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,120
consume it in chunks here, but 
go and do whether you love 

86
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,480
Steven or you despise Steven, I,
I put it this way, if you love 

87
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:31,960
Steven, you're going to love him
more. 

88
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,880
If you don't like Steven, you 
know, he's bombastic. 

89
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,800
He's this whatever you think he 
might be these racist, which 

90
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,880
I've actually heard from some 
people over the years, which I 

91
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,680
think is so patently offensive 
and and couldn't be further from

92
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,000
the truth. 
I think if you kind of subscribe

93
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,400
to that thought of Steven over 
the years, I think that you will

94
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,080
change that. 
I think that that will soften 

95
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,360
there. 
And that was that was the goal, 

96
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,880
not to get you guys to like 
Steven if you didn't, but to 

97
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,800
just see a different side. 
Hey, like we did with Michael 

98
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,720
Kay, like we did with Don Le 
Greco, like we did with Pitino, 

99
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,640
like we'll do with Boone, who's 
going to join us in the next 

100
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,360
couple of weeks here. 
So I I was just really, really 

101
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,720
thankful. 
Steven was awesome. 

102
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,960
Check it out. 
Like it's of it. 

103
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,440
Get it out there, number one. 
Number two, this will be quick. 

104
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,720
Last night, phenomenal second 
episode, The Jets Collective. 

105
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,760
Yeah, we absolutely crushed it 
last night, Jake Rich and 

106
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,480
myself, and we're doing this 
once a week and then as we move 

107
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,280
toward the season, it will be 
twice a week. 

108
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:30,080
And of course, we talked about 
the promised land comments and, 

109
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:33,240
you know, now there's what, 20 
or 21 days of the draft? 

110
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,400
So we started getting into the 
possibilities like, you know, 

111
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,600
could they trade out of two? 
Are they definitely going 

112
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,640
defensive 2, which I believe 
that they are. 

113
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,800
You know how in plays Ty Simpson
coming off the meeting and the 

114
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,560
workout, the dinner The Jets 
brass put him through last week?

115
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,160
So last night, that was awesome.
We're already monetized. 

116
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,760
We've got about, I think almost 
3000 Subs already. 

117
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,600
We just started this thing and 
it is the it's the mission. 

118
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,200
And I believe that this will 
absolutely happen. 

119
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,400
This show like that image that 
you're looking at this and 

120
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,680
there's a lot of good jet shows 
out there. 

121
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,960
I'm not trying to discredit any 
other content. 

122
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,360
That's that's not who I am. 
It's not who what I do. 

123
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,120
You know, I'm not just going to 
diss people. 

124
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,840
You know, everybody's trying to 
make a live and everybody's 

125
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:15,160
trying to do what they do well. 
But this show, I believe, and 

126
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,760
that is the motive to make this 
the number one jet show of 

127
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,280
record. 
All right, so last night was 

128
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:22,640
great. 
Let's see, let's get to this now

129
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,480
this is I don't even know by 
how. 

130
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,200
I won't even waste your time 
telling you how this transpired.

131
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,080
It's a long, twisting, amazing 
story. 

132
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,920
But J Rod, I know that you know 
your boy me, I am going to be on

133
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:41,080
a mound on Sunday, on Easter 
Sunday, 60 feet, 6 inches away. 

134
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,320
I'm not sure who's going to 
receive the first pitch, but I 

135
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,760
will be in the middle of a Major
League stadium throwing out the 

136
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:47,960
first pitch. 
Get it up. 

137
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,400
That's right. 
As we expand the Unleashed 

138
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,880
brand, BT Unleashed taking over 
Texas, throwing out the first 

139
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,320
pitch on Easter Sunday. 
So that is an absolute 

140
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,400
privilege. 
That is an incredible honor. 

141
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,800
I was just, I mean, I talk about
#1 being surprised and then #2 

142
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:08,760
you know, really being humbled 
and taken back when I was asked 

143
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,120
to do that it and, and it's 
funny, it came up on the show 

144
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,440
the other day, you know, BT it's
come up a few times. 

145
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,400
BT Is this just a local show? 
No, it's not. 

146
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,160
So I will be in Dallas with my 
entire family on Sunday, as we 

147
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,520
usually are for Easter. 
And I'm going to be throwing out

148
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,400
that first pitch, man. 
And I'll tell you what, Oh my 

149
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,080
God, my boys are already trying 
to get in my head. 

150
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,200
Dog, don't bounce it. 
Don't Baba booey it. 

151
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,560
Don't $0.50 it, you know, don't 
listen. 

152
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,000
I can promise you that's not 
going to happen if. 

153
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,240
Anything mess this up, man. 
We got we got a lot at stake 

154
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,280
here, there we. 
Go, you're going to already do 

155
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,200
this to be man. 
Let me let me tell you one 

156
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,880
thing. 
So I have yes, I told you I had 

157
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,880
the day before I had softball 
for my daughter yesterday, had 

158
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,080
my son's travel team that I 
coach right So around the field,

159
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,920
beautiful day and I love warming
up with the kids even before I 

160
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,080
knew I was doing this. 
Like I throw BP, I love to throw

161
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,400
the ball around and like that's 
the only part of my body truly 

162
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,400
from an athletic point of view 
that really still feels like 

163
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,720
it's kind of young. 
Like my arm still has juice. 

164
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:15,120
I hold the ball without a doubt.
However, I won't say that I 

165
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,360
already know that. 
Now I anticipate a strike. 

166
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,880
I'll tell you why I think I'll 
throw a strike, and I'll give 

167
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,760
you an estimate of how hard I 
think I'll throw it. 

168
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,280
But I also understand that when 
I'm on a practice field with a 

169
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,200
bunch of knuckleheads who I've 
known since they were seven 

170
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,280
years old and watching them grow
now, and most of them are 12 and

171
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,880
the it's going to be a little 
different. 

172
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,400
You know, going out there, 
40,000 people with all eyes on 

173
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,919
me, ladies and gentlemen, and 
they're going to introduce me 

174
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:46,520
and they're going to put the big
beat, the big BT Unleashed logo 

175
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,680
on the massive. 
And it's a beautiful stadium. 

176
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:51,240
I've been there before. 
It's an awesome stadium. 

177
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:54,920
So while I'm confident, not 
cocky, but I know I can throw a 

178
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,600
ball. 
I'm confident. 

179
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:02,760
I'm not nervous yet, but as that
introduction is, is pulsating 

180
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,120
and bouncing off the walls. 
Ladies and gentlemen, please 

181
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,640
give a loyal, a loud, raucous 
Texas ovation. 

182
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,360
I know I'm going to be getting a
little tight as I'm walking out 

183
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,400
there. 
And I'll tell you what, man, Oh,

184
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:15,880
my friends are already trying to
clown me. 

185
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,720
They're like, dude, if you 
bounce this and you don't throw 

186
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,680
because they did a lot of guys I
played ball with, they're like, 

187
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,200
that's the one thing that you 
can still do is throw a ball. 

188
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,920
You better not mess this up. 
So I don't think I'm going to 

189
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,840
mess it up. 
I'm looking to throw gas. 

190
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,680
I have always mocked people who 
now sometimes cuz I've thrown 

191
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:33,480
out, I'll tell you that story in
a second. 

192
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,760
I've done this before. 
It's been a long time, but most 

193
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,080
people go to the slope of the 
mound. 

194
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,600
OK, the slope or some people, I 
mean, if you're older, it's all 

195
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,480
good. 
They'll go to like the first 

196
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,160
little piece of grass before the
mound. 

197
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,960
Now sometimes you can't control 
it because I want to stand on, I

198
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,480
want to stand on that slab. 
I want to, I want to be in the 

199
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,040
middle of a major. 
I mean, I'm going to give you 

200
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,320
the whole wind up. 
I'm going through the whole 

201
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,760
spiel. 
I'm going to have all the 

202
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,040
theatrics. 
I mean, if I wasn't on the 

203
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,560
pitch, I might bust out. 
I black like I'm taking. 

204
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:02,520
It. 
Seriously. 

205
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:06,200
But I'm kidding about that. 
But I will go to the rubber if 

206
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,880
they let me. 
Some stadium, some teams don't 

207
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,240
let you do it because it's 
already manicured. 

208
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,880
And obviously it's the major 
leagues. 

209
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:13,920
They don't want anybody getting 
hurt. 

210
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,320
They don't want anybody messing 
up the mound. 

211
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,040
They're they're creatures of 
habit. 

212
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,040
My intention is to go to the 
mound and throw it 60 feet, 6 

213
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,480
inches. 
And what I've learned is this. 

214
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,320
And I've told people, I remember
telling Stephen A this when he 

215
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,720
threw out the first pitch of the
Yankees. 

216
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,760
Yeah, it's an OK pitch, not 
terrible. 

217
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,080
I mean, he didn't really look 
like a baseball player, but it 

218
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,040
wasn't bad. 
It wasn't like Baba Booey. 

219
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,160
The one thing that I learned, 
because again, no matter how 

220
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,400
much you think you could throw a
ball or how confident you think 

221
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,840
that you are, then you're going 
to get a little tight. 

222
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,960
And I I do expect that to some 
degree, right. 

223
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,560
But what's what you have to do? 
If you aim to throw a strike, 

224
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:50,440
you're going to throw it low. 
You've got to aim high because 

225
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,240
while, you know, we have these, 
these really nice portable, but 

226
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,680
they're like $30,000 to these 
portable pitching mounds that we

227
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:59,120
put on the field on the turf for
the, for the kids when they 

228
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,560
play, they're not quite as high 
as a Major League mound. 

229
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:04,640
So, and, and we don't play at 60
feet yet because you know, my 

230
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,640
son's 11 and, and, and this is a
12 year old team. 

231
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,800
So they're still at 50 feet. 
So it's 10 feet back. 

232
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,920
Even though I always throw BP, 
I'm going to be elevated higher 

233
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,920
and then the nerves, but you've 
got to almost look to hit, 

234
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,520
whether it's the catcher, I 
don't know who's going to 

235
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,640
receive it, whomever it is, 
you've got to almost look to hit

236
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,600
them in the bill of the cap 
because you're going to be lower

237
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,520
than you think. 
So if you're looking, you know, 

238
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,280
right down the middle, you know,
like a National League strike 

239
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,960
back in the day, you're bouncing
that puppy like you're going to 

240
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,480
be sure and it's or it's going 
to be a ball. 

241
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,880
If you go up here, you're 
probably going to be right here.

242
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,760
So I can't wait. 
I can't wait to get on that 

243
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,080
mound and throw a little pitch 
here before seam action. 

244
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,840
You know, my buddies like you 
can throw A2 seam a cutter. 

245
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,360
I'm like you out of your mind. 
I'm I'm I'm going. 

246
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,160
I don't want anything that's 
going to because the two seamers

247
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,800
going to move. 
I'm not throwing a change up. 

248
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,840
That would be ridiculous. 
You need a clean as possible or 

249
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,800
listen, hear me out Yeah, 
listen, you botched this. 

250
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,240
We're going big time. 
I know that's true. 

251
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,560
That's true. 
If you made it into like the 

252
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:12,320
hall of but obviously for your 
for your for your persona, I 

253
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,680
think you I think you ought to 
hit a clean one. 

254
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,680
That's. 
All I'm going to try now let's 

255
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:20,000
investigate that a little bit 
more for a moment because now if

256
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,080
I didn't respect baseball the 
way I do and if I didn't play 

257
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,800
baseball the way that I did, I I
mean I'd be fully on board. 

258
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,360
I would like throw it to the to 
the second deck if I could like 

259
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,160
I could probably you know, I 
could probably reach just throw 

260
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,000
the worst pitch in the history 
of first pitches. 

261
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,600
You want to get 50,000 more Subs
overnight. 

262
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,840
Oh my God. 
You know, I mean, you get the 

263
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,280
House of highlights, little bump
right there. 

264
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,440
They they get you. 
What is he thinking? 

265
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:48,160
I know, I know, but I can't do 
it. 

266
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,760
I got too much pride. 
I'm not going to do. 

267
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,840
There's no way I got My family's
going to be watching, you know, 

268
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,680
kids and I coach. 
It's going to be out there like 

269
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:57,840
Coach, what happened, man? 
You threw one in, you know, your

270
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,920
five hopped it. 
You threw it against the screen.

271
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:04,680
It can't be having that now if 
it happens naturally, OK, now, 

272
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,960
which I don't think it will. 
I mean, I'm not saying it's 

273
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,840
going to be right down the 
middle, perfect strike, but 

274
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,240
there's no way I'm going to 
embarrass myself unless it slips

275
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,280
out of my hand. 
See, here's the problem, too. 

276
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,920
The more I talk about it, the 
more I think about it, of 

277
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,400
course. 
It builds the snowball. 

278
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,840
The snowball builds. 
There's nothing more powerful 

279
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,120
than the mind. 
And I'll give you a great 

280
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,000
example. 
Was it Arnie or was it, I think 

281
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
it was Arnie and not Jack. 
I'm pretty sure already said 

282
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,200
this. 
Like one of the common mistakes 

283
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,480
that a lot of, you know, hack 
golfers make is that they step 

284
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,120
up to a ball and they've got the
exact wrong mindset. 

285
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,000
So rather than saying all right,
step in, let's pure it up there.

286
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,600
Say if you have a 5 iron, you 
know you want to hit this. 

287
00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:45,000
Like what? 
I mean, if you're really good, 

288
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,640
you going to think this way? 
I just want to get it anywhere 

289
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,360
near the green. 
But for the sake of this 

290
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,280
conversation, I'll just pretend 
that I'm good. 

291
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,720
Like if you're a decent golfer, 
you walk up to the ball, say 

292
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,880
your second shot 177 yards out, 
whatever club that might be. 

293
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,120
You know, if you're going for a 
specific quadrant of the green, 

294
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,280
which again, I'm not, if I'm 
anywhere near the green, I'm 

295
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,800
thrilled. 
But you want to say, all right, 

296
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,440
hey, listen, it's it undulates 
here. 

297
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,720
Let's go. 
Let you want to basically within

298
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,560
the mind as you speak to 
yourself and grip the club and 

299
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:16,040
go through your pre shot 
routine. 

300
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,440
You want to reinforce good 
stuff. 

301
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,880
What you don't say and this 
happened. 

302
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,480
I say this too, and you'll hear 
this art of green a lot. 

303
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,520
You hear, you know, weekend 
golfers, you know, guys that are

304
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,120
151820 handicaps and worse 
right, which where I obviously 

305
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,800
fall probably in that 18 range 
20 whatever it is, depending 

306
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,680
upon the thing. 
Maybe it's worse, but you'll 

307
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,680
hear a lot of golfers say don't 
leave it short, Come on or don't

308
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,320
3 putt No, because by saying 
that you're opening a part of 

309
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,320
your mind, like you're opening 
up the possibility of three 

310
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,280
putting. 
What you really want to say is 

311
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,720
all right, leg it get within 2 
three feet, tap it and move on 

312
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,280
to the next T box. 
It's the power of positivity. 

313
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,000
It is the power of positive 
reinforcement. 

314
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,920
So these next couple of days I 
got to make sure my mind is 

315
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,600
right. 
And I'm not going to say to 

316
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,200
myself, don't bounce it. 
Don't throw it against the 

317
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,040
screen. 
I'm sitting there saying let's 

318
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,400
flush one man. 
Let's hammer one right through 

319
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,680
the zone and let's get it. 
Let let, let's try to sniff 70 

320
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,000
miles an hour. 
Let's go. 

321
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,840
I mean, that's how I'm feeling. 
I'm feeling like it's going to 

322
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,560
be a, it's going to be a nice 
one. 

323
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,960
It's going to go down in the 
Hall of Fame. 

324
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,520
I'm excited of. 
I'm excited. 

325
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,960
I'm I'm and really it All in all
seriousness, I'm I'm extremely 

326
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,640
humbled. 
Like it, it's it's an incredible

327
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,880
thing to the channel. 
It's going to be an amazing 

328
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,000
thing for my family. 
You know how much I love 

329
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,520
baseball, how much I respect it.
And we'll get to the baseball 

330
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,640
stuff in a minute. 
It's funny. 

331
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,080
So this will be I've thrown out 
a few with minor league 

332
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,080
ballparks, right. 
And and not to, you know, make 

333
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,920
that like I appreciated that as 
well. 

334
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,960
This will be the second Major 
League stadium I've done this 

335
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,320
in. 
Now the the difference this time

336
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,440
is when I did it the first time.
This is when I was working in 

337
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,280
San Francisco and I was doing 
afternoon drive for 95.7 the 

338
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,800
game FM station. 
This was in 2011. 

339
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,520
No kids yet. 
So my arm wasn't in shape, you 

340
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,200
know, because I, I wasn't 
playing ball with my kids yet. 

341
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,600
I was just playing golf and my 
back was a mess. 

342
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,000
I wouldn't even play a lot of 
golf at that point. 

343
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,160
Wasn't even in great shape. 
I put on like 7-8 pounds. 

344
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,560
I'm like, jeez, I look at the 
video, I'm like, dude, what the 

345
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,640
hell happened? 
Why did you let yourself get 

346
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,120
like that? 
So anyway, it was at the 

347
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,440
Coliseum and I was talking shit 
all week. 

348
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,040
A stands Ace fans couldn't stand
me because you know, when you go

349
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,040
to work in San Francisco, again,
no disrespect to the A's, but 

350
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,840
like, if you're talking about 
the A's every day rather than 

351
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,760
the Giants, you're just not 
going to get ratings. 

352
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,800
And I got paid decent money to 
get ratings. 

353
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,440
So we have Bruce Bocci on the 
show. 

354
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,320
I had a weekly spot with Buster 
Posey. 

355
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,120
You know, Brandon Belt used to 
come on the show, all these old 

356
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,040
names, right? 
And I really didn't talk much 

357
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,000
about the A's and the A's fans 
really resented it. 

358
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,280
So whatever. 
I did this bit where I basically

359
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,200
was playing with their emotions.
Again, Long story short, when I 

360
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,400
go out to the mound, they 
introduced me. 

361
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,040
You hear booze. 
Oh, wow. 

362
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,160
Now, now, thank God it was the 
Coliseum. 

363
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,000
And there was only about 11,000 
people there because if if there

364
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,640
was 30,000, they'd still be 
playing in the Coliseum. 

365
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,000
It was a day game. 
I think they may have been 

366
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,720
playing the Rangers, ironically,
Rangers or Seattle. 

367
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,200
It was another AL West team. 
And as I go out there, I hear it

368
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,839
wasn't like a raucous Boo, like,
you know, vociferous booing, but

369
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:25,200
they let me know that they 
weren't feeling me right away. 

370
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,680
No, I, I, I was playing with 
them the whole time. 

371
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,880
I had this, I think I told you 
this, this throwback Catfish 

372
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,840
Hunter jersey underneath my 
button. 

373
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,200
So when I got on the mound, I 
went like WWE. 

374
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,320
I'm hearing the booze and I'm 
kind of go live, bring it on. 

375
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,520
And then I like that I have a 
glove. 

376
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,480
No, I put the ball down for a 
second and then I take off my 

377
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,400
button down and I go like this 
with the catfish. 

378
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,840
It was like a 73. 
And they won the World Series 

379
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,240
that year was a sick beautiful 
throwback T-shirt that I still 

380
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,240
have, but a good T-shirt like AT
shirt jersey. 

381
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,040
So a jersey like one of those 
things. 

382
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,040
And I go like this. 
Then you hear a couple of 

383
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,840
cheers. 
But the whole week and I will 

384
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,960
not make this mistake this time.
A little bit more sage, a little

385
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,520
bit more in control BT a little 
bit more mature BT I'm telling 

386
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,360
everybody on the I'm going to 
throw 85 miles an hour. 

387
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,120
I'm going to bust this down. 
I'm going to bust the catchers 

388
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:14,320
mid. 
I might get signed to a 10 day 

389
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:15,920
minor league contract after 
this. 

390
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,360
Like I'm obviously kind of 
kidding. 

391
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,640
I knew I wasn't going to hit 85,
but I was talking a world of 

392
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,480
shit. 
I'm coming in the side door 

393
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,240
here. 
So the two big differences. 

394
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,080
Instead of 11,000, there will be
40,000 people on Sunday. 

395
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,280
But I will not get booed. 
So that will be a good thing. 

396
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,800
And I can't wait. 
So that's great. 

397
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,280
All right, let's get that 
picture up there once more as BT

398
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,280
hits the mound, 60 feet, 6 
inches away. 

399
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:39,760
I got to figure out what I'm 
going to wear. 

400
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,560
Like, I like to wear a nice 
because I'm sure we're going to 

401
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:43,840
church before that. 
You can get it down. 

402
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,800
Thanks, Jay. 
Yeah, the Easter bunnies come. 

403
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,880
We've got a big Sunday, Easter 
Sunday day. 

404
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:52,280
So I've got a nice pink blazer, 
a couple of nice like spring 

405
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,280
Blazers that I could, but I I'm 
not throwing the first pitch in 

406
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,920
a blazer because that's going to
restrict me. 

407
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,360
Yeah. 
No, you get too tight over here.

408
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,720
Yeah. 
And I got to figure out the 

409
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,880
attire. 
And the other thing I can't do, 

410
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,560
I mean, if they asked me to do 
what I would out of respect, I 

411
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,680
don't know, can I wear another 
team's jersey? 

412
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:10,080
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

413
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,440
Whatever they want, I will do 
because I'm in their house, you 

414
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:15,800
know, but I would do whatever 
they want. 

415
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,600
Now, let's get to this. 
This is awesome. 

416
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,600
All right, so I'm going to have 
J Rod explain the details, but 

417
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,440
we've got a partnership and and 
I'm very thankful for this. 

418
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,680
Right. 
You can tell things are moving 

419
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,640
on the channel. 
Primio jumped in. 

420
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,720
Primio's now a sponsor of the 
show along with Sullivan 

421
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,000
Propane. 
So we've got 2 sponsors now. 

422
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,320
This is more of a collaboration 
with my good friends at EA 

423
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,920
Sports. 
So what we're going to do 

424
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,600
starting today and I'll get I'll
tell Jay Rod will tell you how 

425
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,200
you can actually do this, but 
starting today, all right, And

Now, the only thing that I'm 

433
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,760
going to give you this one 
detail, the only thing that you 

434
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,120
have to do in the chat, like in 
the message in the text, but I

So J Rod tell everybody how they
can win. 

445
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,480
Go ahead, buddy. 
So, yeah, So what we'll do is 

446
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:50,120
later on in this episode offer 
Madden 26 specifically today, 

447
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:55,400
BT, he's going to, you know, 
announce that the 1st 25 people

So we can, you know, just reach,

That's important. 

453
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:11,840
Yeah. 
Instagram or so. 

454
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,880
Yeah, let us know Xbox or PS-5, 
Instagram or Twitter. 

455
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,640
And then it'll be at a random 
point in the episode BT will 

456
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,120
call for it and then the 1st 25 
people will get a code. 

457
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,200
So just leave those and then 
either he or I will reach out 

458
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,040
with the DM. 
How awesome is that dude, dude? 

459
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,960
Sick. 
I mean, I see, you know, like 

460
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,360
it's just it's cool with the 
sponsorships that, you know, 

461
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,600
obviously all of them are are 
great, but it's awesome to like 

462
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,880
see some things that, you know, 
I I'm relating to. 

463
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,800
I understand. 
I've kind of, I've kind of, you 

464
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,960
know, played in my life, 
obviously mad in my entire life,

465
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,400
the UFC games, big fan. 
So just great stuff. 

466
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,000
I'm really, really thankful. 
EA Sports, that's great. 

467
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,760
They are phenomenal. 
You know, Nick is a star. 

468
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,440
I love Nick, just good people. 
Great product here. 

469
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,440
So so we won't do that now. 
So whenever we got to make sure 

470
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,160
we get enough time, I don't want
to do it at the end of the show.

471
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,000
I wanted to give you guys the 
alert and the heads up. 

472
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,800
Now, Jay, if I don't do it 
within, you know, 10 to 12 

473
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,760
minutes, just kind of jump in 
and say, hey, by the way, let's 

474
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,080
get this thing going. 
OK, There you go, brother. 

475
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,240
Thank you very much. 
So the first 25 today, Madden 

476
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,320
tomorrow, college. 
Now, one more thing, Jay. 

477
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,600
We've got WrestleMania coming up
in. 

478
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:27,840
That is what? 
April what? 

479
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:28,880
What is April? 
What? 

480
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:33,280
April 18th and 19. 18th and 19, 
did you reach out to Jake the 

481
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,480
Snake and did you reach out to 
Hacksaw Jim Duggan? 

482
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,040
Yes, Sir, you did. 
So OK. 

483
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,560
Let's see when, when you say 
like we've made contact, does 

484
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,400
that mean that they've reached 
back to you? 

485
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,840
I guess probably. 
I would have to say, yeah, I 

486
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,280
would have to say that you have 
reached out. 

487
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,160
When you say we, you know, we've
been in contact. 

488
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,160
You're implying that they've 
responded, which I don't think 

489
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,320
that they yet. 
Have no, they have not yet have 

490
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,840
responded, but we don't. 
Want to try to lie to anybody 

491
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:58,680
here? 
No, no, no. 

492
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,160
We run a certainly up front ship
here on BT Unleashed. 

493
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,480
But yeah, I mean, hopefully the 
guys are down. 

494
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,680
Reached out to them, you know, 
just found it through the 

495
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,480
Twitter. 
So yeah, I mean, I really want 

496
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,640
to get that going. 
I think that'd be awesome. 

497
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,280
Like I'm, I'm obviously you 
know, from a different era of 

498
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,120
WWE fandom, but like certainly 
with, with Jake the snake, I 

499
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:25,080
remember playing as him in like 
the games in like the WWE2K game

500
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,280
romance. 
Sinister, sinister. 

501
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,720
He was an evil dude breaking out
this. 

502
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,600
He had like the snake out the 
bag. 

503
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,200
Oh God. 
But Damien, of course, no doubt 

504
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,240
the story. 
Well, first of all, the, the 

505
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,120
moment in the ring when, when it
actually, you know, clamped down

506
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:43,160
on the macho man's arm. 
You know, like the and I, you 

507
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,720
know, I love these the K fab K 
fab stuff and all the shoots. 

508
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,120
Like I, I really do jump into on
YouTube these old and there's 

509
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:53,480
not many left, but the old, you 
know, Bobby Heenan was very good

510
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,240
at this before he passed on. 
Cornett's great as well. 

511
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,320
What's his name? 
Oh, God. 

512
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,400
Oh God. 
The hockey Tonk man does a lot 

513
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,280
of stuff. 
Well, Greg Ballantine out in 

514
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,840
Vegas. 
So there's still a lot of guys 

515
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,800
who are doing this. 
But the story behind the, you 

516
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:14,120
know, Macho Man allowing Jake to
do that because I mean, listen, 

517
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:16,640
you know, those Jake, Jake was 
all hopped up on drugs. 

518
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,040
I mean, so was Macho Man, I'm 
sure. 

519
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,040
But, you know, like, if, if I'm 
Macho Man, I, I want to make 

520
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,760
sure that that venom has been 
taken out. 

521
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,720
So the story goes the way it's 
been told. 

522
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,160
Jake told this story that 
they're in the locker room and 

523
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,520
Macho Man's like, you know, 
we'll make sure you're not 

524
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,440
messing around trying to be, you
know, do nothing dirty here. 

525
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,520
Won't you? 
Let it take a bite out of you. 

526
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,040
And Jake's like, what? 
Take a bite out of me. 

527
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,880
He's like, yeah, let's see, 
let's see him stick his fangs in

528
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,880
you. 
And he did it like he Macho Man 

529
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,160
would not actually do the would 
not do it in the ring until Jake

530
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,640
actually, you know, the Damien 
took a bite out of Jake And then

531
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,400
if Jake didn't die Macho's man 
like months now venomous, 

532
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,520
although we couldn't he probably
could have switched bags. 

533
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,240
You know, when macho man left 
the room. 

534
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,480
I mean, not exactly a foolproof 
method. 

535
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,120
That was sick. 
I listen, I would be thrilled if

536
00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:05,960
it's hacksaw. 
I really would. 

537
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:08,720
But I was such a big Jake the 
snake fan, and I said this 

538
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:13,080
yesterday because the way like 
the promos back then, you know, 

539
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,840
a whole, you know, just coming 
in just just diesel and oiled up

540
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,120
and well, you don't mean G like 
he'd launch into a spiel. 

541
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,960
Then he'd do the guns as he 
would walk off the camera. 

542
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,080
And then you had the macho man 
coming in little, you know, a 

543
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,960
little bit of different tone, 
you know what I mean? 

544
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:32,640
But then this guy Jake would 
show up and he would just be 

545
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,240
like he would just stare at you 
with that long hair, the wet 

546
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,080
hair like and he didn't have a 
good body. 

547
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,200
That was the thing about Jake 
didn't have a good body. 

548
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,040
He used to wear, like, the pants
with the Damien snake on the 

549
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:48,240
side and the boots and the and 
the bag and the way he delivered

550
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,040
his promos. 
That's why he's one of my top 

551
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,200
five promo guys of all time. 
I'm going to do that before 

552
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,960
WrestleMania on the show, by the
way. 

553
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,160
Yeah. 
Like he didn't feel the need to 

554
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,400
raise his voice. 
He would just look at you say, 

555
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,240
yeah, you know, we got ourselves
a little situation here and it 

556
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,480
just I love the guy. 
So I'm happy that he's actually 

557
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,280
doing well in life because he 
was an absolute train wreck for 

558
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,160
a long time. 
All right, did we hit you with 

559
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,000
enough stop, Stephen A The Jets 
collective, the first pitch and 

560
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
this. 
Amazing, Amazing. 

561
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,840
Thank you. 
This is really what it is, guys.

562
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,280
It's a thank you for supporting 
BT, the BT Unleashed, fam. 

563
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:22,920
So good luck. 
We're not going to do it yet. 

564
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,600
Probably about 10 minutes. 
J Rod, let me know. 

565
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:25,680
Let's do the show here. 
All right. 

566
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:27,800
Thank you. 
Oh, yes, Sir. 

567
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:33,840
I like that. 
Now, if you if you heard me last

568
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,640
year and many of you did because
many of you listen to the fan 

569
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,080
talking about Mendy. 
All right, I I thought that 

570
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:46,000
Carlos Mendoza had a really bad 
year as a manager, really bad. 

571
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,520
Now that's it was a perfect team
like the Mets didn't have a lot 

572
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:49,600
of starting pitching. 
We know this. 

573
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,200
I don't I don't need to just 
regurgitate the old stories, but

574
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,080
I want to at least set a little 
bit of a backdrop as we cross it

575
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,080
into now it's early. 
I'm not sounding alarms. 

576
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,480
Well, maybe I am, but it's not a
5 alarm fire. 

577
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,080
It's just maybe a little dinner 
bell like all right, let let 

578
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,440
let's everybody start perking 
up. 

579
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,560
The Mets look like shit right 
now. 

580
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,320
The Mets, Look, the problem with
the Mets is that the Mets of 

581
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:15,960
2026 right now are resembling 
the Mets of 2025 really, aside 

582
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,400
for the pitching. 
Like Sanga was good and McClain 

583
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,280
was good and Peralta was good 
yesterday. 

584
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,080
But the problem with last year's
Mets, they didn't hit the 

585
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,360
clutch, even Soto for most of 
the year. 

586
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,120
That was a massive issue. 
And I just don't think that they

587
00:27:30,120 --> 00:27:32,160
played with great energy and I 
don't think they played with 

588
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,520
great alertness. 
And I don't think they had great

589
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,680
connectivity, which is one of 
the reasons why, you know, and 

590
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,400
Sal was saying this. 
And I totally agreed. 

591
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,920
You know, everybody got mad at 
us for saying this, but the Mets

592
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,600
actually, they actually did it. 
So we were proven right. 

593
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,480
The Mets core it. 
It had to be busted up. 

594
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,120
You know, I saw Pete hit his 
first home run. 

595
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,400
Good for him. 
I'll see Nimmo over the weekend 

596
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,160
when I'm out in Texas. 
But they just had to change 

597
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,560
things up. 
They had to. 

598
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,920
And I like what they did. 
Like, I'm not going to do 180 

599
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,760
and say, oh, the Mets are going 
to win 80 games. 

600
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,520
I think the Mets could be 90 
plus wins. 

601
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,080
And I think the Mets could be a 
playoff team, but the Mets 

602
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,520
better get their act together. 
Because the one thing that I 

603
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,760
said at the end of last year, 
remember, there were a few 

604
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,160
people, I didn't say this, I 
didn't say this. 

605
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,920
Not that I was afraid to. 
I didn't necessarily believe it 

606
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,920
at that point. 
But I did say Year 3, which is 

607
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:25,440
now would be really the 
measurement of Mendoza. 

608
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,480
Year 1 was terrific, 
overachieved a lot of energy, 

609
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,400
almost got to the World Series, 
beat the Phillies, the enthos 

610
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,000
did his thing. 
You know, they, they, they look 

611
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,840
good. 
But I was great. 

612
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,520
Those final eighteen starts, we 
know what happened. 

613
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,360
And then last year it was an 
unmitigated, unexpected 

614
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,520
disaster. 
What a disaster. 

615
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,400
I got impersonations too. 
That's where it ends, though. 

616
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,240
That's that's the only one I 
could do with Joe. 

617
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,040
What a disaster. 
They were a mess. 

618
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,400
They were absolute. 
They were uninspiring. 

619
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,800
They were disconnected. 
They were disjointed. 

620
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,920
It didn't look like they liked 
each other a lot. 

621
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,400
That's just the reality of 2025.
Now, I'm not here to start 

622
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,440
trouble. 
I'm not going to say, oh, you 

623
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,920
know, although Lindor's, but you
better get his head out of his 

624
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,800
behind. 
I mean, Francisco Lindor is 

625
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,120
asleep at the wheel. 
And I understand that Lindor, 

626
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,480
you know, the part of the 
Francisco Lindor experience is 

627
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,600
that he does nothing in April. 
He's in a baseball coma. 

628
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,360
And then he slowly emerges in 
May. 

629
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,240
And then he has a June or July 
where he's one of the two or 

630
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,120
three best players in baseball. 
And by the end of the year, the 

631
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,000
numbers are there. 
But there's this madding 

632
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,880
inconsistency that the other 
great players in baseball really

633
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,880
don't have. 
And listen again, this is not 

634
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,320
all Lindor hit from one side of 
the play. 

635
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,240
I'm not this Lindor. 
I'm giving you the reality of 

636
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,280
Francisco Lindor as a Met. 
Now, the Guardians may be a 

637
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,880
little different. 
His numbers were better there as

638
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,120
well. 
But like, we're used to the slow

639
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,240
start. 
What you can't have, I don't 

640
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,360
care if it's day one of spring 
training down to Port Saint 

641
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,600
Lucie, a split squad game or 
game seven of the World Series. 

642
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,400
They're a Major League Baseball 
player. 

643
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,800
You got to know how many outs 
there are. 

644
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,600
Like, that's kind of part of the
job if you want to store bare 

645
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,280
bones minimum, like what is 
required. 

646
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,280
And if you don't know, and I 
tell my kids this and I coach, 

647
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,680
if you don't know, ask the 
umpire. 

648
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,480
You know, with that at the youth
level, there's one behind the 

649
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,840
plate, there's one behind the 
pitcher's now depending upon, 

650
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,960
you know, guys on base. 
So hey, you don't ask him if I'm

651
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,040
coaching third, you're on 2nd 
coach, How many outs? 

652
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,040
I'll tell you if I don't hear 
you, which I will ask the. 

653
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,760
So in Major League Baseball, 
there's this, it's it's a very 

654
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,160
interesting modern advancement. 
It's called the scoreboard. 

655
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,840
All right, I don't know if you 
guys have heard of this. 

656
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,800
Very cutting edge. 
And most of these Major League 

657
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,080
scoreboards at this point are 
the sizes of mansions. 

658
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,200
The Yankees have a new 
scoreboard coming. 

659
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,240
The Mets have a monstrosity of a
scoreboard. 

660
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,760
All right, look behind you if 
you're on second base as a 

661
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,440
runner, if you're playing short,
look behind you. 

662
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:55,920
What do we got here? 
11 count. 

663
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,880
All right, two outs. 
I'm playing defense. 

664
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:02,760
Same thing to not. 
I mean, that was absolutely 

665
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,560
unacceptable. 
Unacceptable. 

666
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,000
And I was. 
I know that Lindor and and he, 

667
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,760
he does take ownership of his 
mistakes. 

668
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,000
I I respect that about him. 
He's a guy who when he's not 

669
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,240
hitting, he's not playing well, 
he's a guy who takes the thumb 

670
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,720
and puts it in himself. 
Not everybody does that. 

671
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,920
Francisco Lindor truly does, and
I truly do respect that. 

672
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,600
But I mean, come on, man. 
So he did say yesterday probably

673
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,320
caused Peralta an inning. 
Yeah, you did. 

674
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,200
I mean, you're lucky Peralta 
picked you up. 

675
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,960
So when like the and and it's 
it's a bit of a narrative. 

676
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,120
Yeah. 
It's not that they just, you 

677
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,440
know, didn't look good in in 
Saint Louis. 

678
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,600
It's not that the offense is 
fairly impotent when you don't 

679
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,320
hit you jet in baseball, you 
generally look lackluster. 

680
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:49,920
That's just the flow of the 
game. 

681
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,080
Like if you're going, you know, 
four or five hits, one run, 

682
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:54,520
that's just throwing to the 
Mets. 

683
00:31:54,520 --> 00:32:00,440
Anybody general 7-8 sevens, not 
that bad, 11 or 12 punch outs, 

684
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,200
you know, two walks, like I 
said, 3, four hits, you score 

685
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,320
one or two. 
Like it's going to look as if 

686
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,800
you're a dead team. 
Like you just kind of drag in. 

687
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,240
And that's not always the case. 
I mean, guys are grinding. 

688
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,520
It's hard to hit. 
And at this point of the season,

689
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,840
I still believe that the 
pitchers have a little bit of an

690
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,960
advantage that's starting to go 
away at this point. 

691
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,680
And by, you know, another week 
or two it will be fully gone. 

692
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,720
But slight advantage early, a 
little cold out, whatever 

693
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,400
advantage pitchers. 
But see the the Mets now go back

694
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:30,680
to what happened over the 
weekend. 

695
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,880
Now, I didn't mind it because it
was in line with an aggressive 

696
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,200
mindset. 
And Mendoza talked about this 

697
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,880
after the game when they sent 
Lindor home from first base on 

698
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,040
Soto's double against the 
Pirates, right? 

699
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,640
And he gets thrown out, Bang. 
But not even really. 

700
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,960
I mean, he was, I guess, kind of
bang, bang. 

701
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,600
Maybe if he goes head first, 
maybe touches the plate with his

702
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:51,880
hand. 
But he's got the bad hand. 

703
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:56,680
So I give him a pass on that. 
They were doing what they said 

704
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,200
they were going to do before the
series. 

705
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,640
There's certain teams you can 
run on and there's certain teams

706
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,880
that you really want to put 
stress on from a defensive point

707
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,800
of view because they're not 
going to handle it well. 

708
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,000
And in their estimations, and I 
agree, their calculations, their

709
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,280
data points, the Pirates are one
of those teams. 

710
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,880
But you got to be right. 
So when Lindor gets thrown out 

711
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,880
of the plate, all right, and 
then you lose and then you got 

712
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,880
Lovelady out there and the last 
game he didn't use Devin 

713
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,840
Williams like, well, why not? 
All right, So I didn't love 

714
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,560
that. 
I don't think that Carlos 

715
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,360
Mendoza last year was very good 
with the bullpen. 

716
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,280
I've said that I didn't like 
last year's energy, so it's new 

717
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,640
players. 
I'll give them a chance to get 

718
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,960
that straight. 
I did not like he. 

719
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,360
I thought he gave Vientos too 
much rope at third base as a 

720
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,640
horrendous fielder and when it 
was very clear, very apparent 

721
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,000
that Beatty's a superior 
defensive player. 

722
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,320
So I don't think Mendoza had a 
good year last year and right 

723
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,120
now, and again, I know it's 
early, but we got to react to 

724
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,920
something. 
I mean, you can't just get on 

725
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,160
the air and say, I mean, you 
could, but who wants to hear it?

726
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,800
It's early. 
They'll be fine. 

727
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,640
Now, there's certain situations 
where I think you could say that

728
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,400
like Aaron Judge, all right, 
he's got a couple of home runs. 

729
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,160
Batting average is low. 
I think it now, I mean, some 

730
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,400
have done this. 
Knock yourself out. 

731
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,560
I'm not doing this because he's 
Aaron Judge and I know that. 

732
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,800
But if you want to say if you 
want to get on Judge, that's not

733
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,520
what I'm looking to do. 
You want to get on him in 

734
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,639
October that that's different. 
All right, before he's hitting 

735
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,400
two O 7 and it's May 19th. 
That's different. 

736
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,280
I'll join the party. 
Yo, cap, what's up? 

737
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:25,280
Or if Soto got off to a rough 
start, which he hasn't. 

738
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,520
He's been phenomenal so far. 
Really one of the only Mets 

739
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,239
who's hit who's hitting thus 
far. 

740
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:33,199
Like all right, you know that 
there's certain guys 568 games. 

741
00:34:33,199 --> 00:34:36,840
They've earned that cachet, that
equity, the latitude to figure 

742
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,520
things out and others have not. 
And I got to be honest with you,

743
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,560
you know, think about the name 
Judge. 

744
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,840
Think about the name Soto. 
And now think about the name 

745
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,840
Mendoza. 
They're not comparable. 

746
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,600
Judge and Soto are here and 
Mendoza's here. 

747
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,120
You know, Judge and Soto are two
of the best players in the 

748
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:54,360
world. 
All right? 

749
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,760
Nobody's sitting here saying 
Mendoza is one of the 2345 best 

750
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,800
mattresses in baseball. 
I'm not saying he's one of the 

751
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,280
five worst, but the Mets need to
get their act together. 

752
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,960
They do. 
I'm not worried about Bichette. 

753
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:08,840
I'm maybe a little worried about
Simeon. 

754
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,320
I mean, it's been a couple of 
down years now and he looks 

755
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,280
lost. 
I mean, he's still fast, he 

756
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,080
could still defend, but he's not
hitting and the Mets aren't 

757
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,920
hitting. 
And again, when you don't hit 

758
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,880
you, you're going to look a 
little disengaged. 

759
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:21,920
And I don't know that that's 
true. 

760
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:22,960
I don't think that that's the 
case. 

761
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,960
But when you don't know how many
outs and you're basically 

762
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,960
jogging in you, you just loaf 
over the second base, step on 

763
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,200
the bag, 03 outs. 
No, there's two. 

764
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,840
If you would have thrown the 
ball, would have been an easy 

765
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,000
double play. 
And Peralta probably gets an 

766
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,440
extra inning #1 then Door is on 
first base, you know, fix it. 

767
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,200
Is, is, is a little sliding bit.
Oh, we're going to throw over. 

768
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,680
You're out. 
Same thing happened to to Jazz. 

769
00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:47,640
Same thing happened to Jazz. 
Jazz, would you wake up? 

770
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,040
Dude, I, I don't understand 
that. 

771
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,960
I don't know how that happens. 
Then you get gunned down the 

772
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,560
plate. 
I just gave you that scenario 

773
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,600
over the weekend. 
You didn't play well against the

774
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,040
Cardinals, didn't finish the 
series well against the Pirates,

775
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,880
you know, and oh, yeah, by the 
way, was this yesterday? 

776
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:05,920
I think it was there. 
Yeah. 

777
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,280
It had to be yesterday. 
I'm watching the game and there 

778
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,120
was. 
So was there a runner on? 

779
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,960
Oh, geez, what was it? 
I think 1st and 3rd and was a 

780
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,600
church and there was a ball in 
the dirt and and Alvarez, who 

781
00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:22,040
who who has worked hard to 
receive the ball better. 

782
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,120
And I think he's been better 
with that this year. 

783
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,640
Looks to be in better shape. 
We'll see if he hits whatever, 

784
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,560
right? 
But he blocked it well. 

785
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,400
And since he's a runner on 3rd, 
as long as the ball's in front 

786
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,760
of you, you're good. 
He's not coming down secondary 

787
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,920
leads going to go back to the 
big. 

788
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,400
So Alvarez very slowly looks at 
him. 

789
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,520
All right, I'm good here. 
Well, while he's taking the 

790
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,760
sweet time getting the baseball,
the guy on first base is running

791
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,200
safe now. 
They got out of it. 

792
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,080
Peralta did. 
But isn't that emblematic of a 

793
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,680
team that's not really locked 
in? 

794
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,240
Your catchers in space, your 
short stops in space, your third

795
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:57,600
base coach was in space. 
The Hell's going on with the 

796
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,320
Mets? 
You know, so it it seems to be. 

797
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,200
And again, I do think that the 
Mets will figure this out and I 

798
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,600
do think their pitching will be 
good because it has been pretty 

799
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,680
good already. 
I think the Mets are going to be

800
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,680
a playoff team. 
But the onus is on them, not on 

801
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,720
me to say it. 
The onus is on them to show it. 

802
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,880
And then I will happily say it, 
that they have rid themselves of

803
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:23,200
some of those lazy and 
ineffective characteristics 

804
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,920
which basically defined their 
season last year. 

805
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,840
That's just the reality of the 
of the 25 New York Mets gross 

806
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,520
underachievement and an 81 win 
season. 

807
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,560
And you know, I think you were 
looking up at the Marlins in the

808
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,120
standings, right? 
I think I think the Marlins had 

809
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,440
a did they or than that who what
one of those teams finished 

810
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,120
above them. 
Either way, unacceptable for the

811
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,360
payroll and for the 
expectations. 

812
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,680
So it's early, but they got to 
start figuring some stuff out. 

813
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:54,160
They absolutely need to. 
I mean, yesterday they were old 

814
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,000
for 11 with runners in scoring 
position. 

815
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,440
I know that they're trying to. 
I know that Bichette's grinding 

816
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:01,920
to have his first, you know, 
Mets moment, if that's a thing, 

817
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,800
whatever to further ingratiate 
himself, you know, to be 

818
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,280
accepted by the fans, even 
though every Met fan knows he's 

819
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,560
probably gonna have the best 
clutch stats, maybe outside of 

820
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,760
Soto, of anybody on the team and
maybe in the National League, 

821
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:13,960
because that's what Bob Bichette
does. 

822
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,200
I'm not worried about Bob 
Bichette. 

823
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,360
But you know, you're old for 11 
yesterday and you were one for 

824
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:23,240
29 with runners in scoring 
position in the series. 

825
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,160
So when you factor in Simeon, 
you know, who knows? 

826
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,560
What if you know, if he's 
cooked, and I'm not saying he 

827
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,000
is, but he could be. 
Who knows what Alvarez is going 

828
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,000
to do this year? 
You know, I do like bench, but 

829
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,120
it's a lot. 
I do I, I, I think he's a ball 

830
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:38,680
player. 
I like that kid. 

831
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,440
But it's a lot to expect of him 
to come in, you know, get 600 

832
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,680
bats and just basically be the 
everyday right fielder. 

833
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,320
I know bet he'll get out there a
little bit. 

834
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,160
Whatever. 
But they got wake up. 

835
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,000
I do. 
I do not like the way the New 

836
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,560
York Mets look at all twelve 
runs in five games. 

837
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,680
What's going on? 
Let me get city moons. 

838
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,720
What's the plan with Manaya? 
He either needs to go on the IL 

839
00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:01,520
dealt or play. 
He's only pitched once and he 

840
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,800
needs to stay stretched out. 
I think Manaya is a complete non

841
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,880
factor this year. 
I don't think he brings anything

842
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,880
to the table this year. 
I don't now put that up, AJ, put

843
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,520
that up again. 
Jay, Ron, what were the three 

844
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,040
options he either needs to go on
the IL. 

845
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,440
Well, you're not going on the IL
if you're not, right. 

846
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,800
I mean, if you're not healthy, 
if you if you if you are 

847
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,160
healthy, there you go. 
If you're healthy, you're not 

848
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,920
going on the IL. 
So I would scratch that. 

849
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,160
Why would anybody trade for it? 
Trade, trade him for what, $0.20

850
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,720
on the dollar and basically pay 
20 million of the 25. 

851
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,880
This guy, I mean, he looked that
he won't be. 

852
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:38,760
He looks like he could be out of
baseball in two years if this 

853
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,240
doesn't pick up. 
He is a complete non entity. 

854
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:44,240
He's throwing batting practice. 
So right now, here's what Shawn 

855
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:47,560
Manaya is. 
Shawn Manaya is if the Mets are 

856
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,560
up nine to three, if the Mets 
are down 8 to one, pick a spot 

857
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,240
that Shawn Manaya time. 
That's it. 

858
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,480
Yeah. 
And and I'm not really looking 

859
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,400
to stretch him out during games 
at my expense, meaning if I'm, 

860
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,920
you know, running the Mets, if 
I'm Mendy, you go figure it out,

861
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,200
the bullpen and not my problem 
you throwing 87 miles an hour, 

862
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:13,640
87, you know, so I know he was 
hurt a year ago. 

863
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,120
But that, you know, that 18 game
stretch where he looked like a 

864
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,600
Cy Young winner, looked like a a
certifiable ace, like he, he was

865
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,080
unhittable and the numbers, 
well, I mean close to 

866
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,480
unhittable. 
And the numbers bear that out it

867
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,240
they, the numbers were amazing, 
scintillating. 

868
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,880
But that to me #1 is certainly 
not reflective of where he is 

869
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,640
now, that's for damn sure. 
He looks like a minor leaguer 

870
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,000
now. 
He looks like he's washed up #1 

871
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,680
#2 it's not emblematic. 
It's not representative of 

872
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,600
really who Shawn and I has been 
in his career. 

873
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,920
Even going back to his prior 
spots, like his ERA was pretty 

874
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,120
much always over 4. 
It's not like, you know, he had 

875
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,560
three or four tremendous years 
in in other cities. 

876
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,640
He had a, well, one or two good,
you know, and then he was OK 

877
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:58,920
with the Mets. 
Then he figured something out 

878
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,600
with the wind up, which by the 
way, the league is now adjusted 

879
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,440
to, you know, when you're coming
from here all these years and 

880
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,880
now you're coming from here, 
whatever it might be, and you're

881
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,920
concealing the ball, well, these
guys are going to go to school 

882
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,880
on that. 
And when you've got way below 

883
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:16,000
average stuff, way, way below 
average stuff, it is not hard to

884
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,960
figure out, well, that's an 88 
mile per hour fastball or that's

885
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,360
a little bend, whatever it might
be. 

886
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,280
I'm going to rock this guy 
because he's just not a Major 

887
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,240
League pitcher right now. 
So I mean, I again, I think he's

888
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:28,200
a non entity. 
I don't think he does anything 

889
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,280
this year in terms of like 
sustained contributions to the 

890
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,200
bottom line of the Mets. 
I think he might make a spot, 

891
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,440
you know, he might, you know, 
hopefully everybody stays 

892
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,560
healthy. 
If there's some injuries, you 

893
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,720
can throw them in there and hope
you get 3 or 4 innings before he

894
00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:46,360
gets smacked around. 
It could be mop up guy. 

895
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,800
Long relief, but high leverage 
that with that, no way what up. 

896
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,960
BT want to ask about the live 
show. 

897
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,040
Not doing it. 
Not doing the live show. 

898
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,240
Unfortunately, there were a 
couple. 

899
00:41:58,240 --> 00:42:00,080
I don't need to really waste a 
lot of time on this. 

900
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,120
It was something that we we 
really wanted to do with Carl. 

901
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:04,760
Doesn't mean we won't do it in 
the future. 

902
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,440
There were a couple of 
logistical issues and it just 

903
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,720
didn't work out. 
We tried something like when we 

904
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:13,200
did the one with Boone. 
Again, when I say logistically 

905
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,840
talking about like the venue and
okay, he's is a great venue, but

906
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,760
just, you know, the holiday and 
Passover. 

907
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,360
By the way, Jay Rod, how was 
dinner last night? 

908
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:22,720
Everything good? 
It was great. 

909
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,720
It was great. 
I mean it wasn't. 

910
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:28,160
It was like a friend one. 
It was like my my went over to 

911
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,720
my boys crib. 
Oh yeah, you didn't go back to 

912
00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:32,880
Mom's house. 
No, that's that's today. 

913
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,800
Like my grandparents and my mom 
and I are going out to lunch. 

914
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,000
Nothing serious, you know? 
No, we're not like that. 

915
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,520
I got you. 
You know, we're like, we're more

916
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,080
like traditional in the, in the 
sense of just like getting 

917
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,480
together, but it's not really 
like a religious experience. 

918
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,080
Understood, but you had a bar 
mitzvah when you were younger. 

919
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:52,320
Of course, man. 
Come on now, you. 

920
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,240
Got to get the money. 
You got to collect the apples, 

921
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:55,600
man. 
Yeah, exactly. 

922
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,040
Yeah, I mean, I I've heard those
things are I've never been. 

923
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,040
My parents have been to a bunch.
I've never been to 1. 

924
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,360
Maybe, maybe, maybe somebody 
could hire me for I could do a 

925
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,160
BTLE show. 
Barb it's. 

926
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,560
What was your theme? 
What, what, what theme did you 

927
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,200
do? 
I didn't not really honestly 

928
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,680
like it. 
I think at least in the kids who

929
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,720
I went to it wasn't as popular 
to have a theme. 

930
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,520
I mean one of my friends had 
like a movie themed one but mine

931
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,840
was just like party themed. 
Gotcha. 

932
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,600
Just like party. 
I mean, I know it's all 

933
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,200
relative. 
Obviously how much you have. 

934
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,880
I don't mean you, but I've got 
some Jewish friends who, who I 

935
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,560
met later in life that otherwise
I, I would have been, you know, 

936
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,080
at their bar mitzvahs. 
Yes, Sir. 

937
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,600
Where now some of my buddies who
were Jewish, they just didn't 

938
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,400
have the bank to do it. 
But sometimes they, they spend 

939
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,880
hundreds and hundreds of 
thousands on some of the like, 

940
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,520
it's, I mean, sometimes. 
No dude, some of them are 

941
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,920
freaking grand. 
Remember Ari on Entourage, the 

942
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,880
bar mitzvah? 
The bar mitzvah that he for his 

943
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,880
daughter like $1,000,000. 
The whole Hollywood was there 

944
00:43:57,240 --> 00:43:59,000
anyway. 
Well, hopefully you have a good 

945
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:03,720
time and a good meal and is 
there fasting in with a Is there

946
00:44:03,720 --> 00:44:07,920
supposed to be You don't know I.
So I know for Yom Kippur, Yom 

947
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:12,400
Kippur fast, yes, you might, you
might have to fast the day 

948
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,200
before Passover. 
That definitely could be a thing

949
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:20,320
that I'm just like forgetting, 
Oh, I got a boy's got to eat. 

950
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,320
I understood young man's got to 
get those nutrients in that 

951
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,760
body. 
All right, why don't you take 

952
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,880
the time now to let everybody 
know how to do that and stuff 

953
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,280
the codes? 
EA Sports. 

954
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:31,640
Then I'll get to some Yankee 
stuff. 

955
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:32,600
Go ahead, brother. 
What do you got? 

956
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:33,480
Cool. 
Let's do it. 

957
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,840
All right. 
So yeah, right now, 1st 25 

958
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:41,520
people who respond with their 
console, the console they play 

959
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:46,800
on Xbox or PS-5, along with 
their either Instagram or 

960
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,360
Twitter handle, you know, make 
it, make it specific. 

961
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,840
Just tell me if it's Instagram 
or Twitter and then we'll be 

962
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,480
giving away Madden 26. 
So the first 25 people who do 

963
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:01,520
that, let us know. 
Give it out to a friend, take it

964
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,720
for yourself. 
Stick it in the Easter basket. 

965
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,360
Yeah, put it in the I mean, 
what's a better, what's a better

966
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:07,880
gift than that? 
So that's great. 

967
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,600
Madden 26 giveaway. 
Give us your console, your 

968
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:15,600
social handle, Instagram or 
Twitter 1st 25 go. 

969
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:20,600
That awesome good job. 
So again, 1st 25 today, Madden 

970
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,920
1st 25 tomorrow when we alert 
you college football, that's 

971
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,400
great, that is so cool. 
And again, make sure you let us 

972
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,040
know. 
But if we don't, we can't get to

973
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:30,800
you. 
It's got to be the PS-5 or the 

974
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,760
Xbox. 
And then yeah, it's let us know 

975
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,120
Twitter, Twitter, Instagram 
handle as well. 

976
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,880
Put that in your chat as well. 
But we've we've got 2 already. 

977
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:42,280
So let's go unleash fam. 
Let's give them out. 

978
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,000
Yeah, I can promise you we're 
going to get 23 more very fast. 

979
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:46,640
Like this is going to be 
awesome. 

980
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,800
And again, this is just our, 
this is my way, our way in 

981
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,160
collaboration with EA Sports, 
let you guys know. 

982
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:58,040
We appreciate you jumping in 
early, you know, right after 

983
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:02,680
WFAN, as many, many of you did. 
Some found me after, obviously 

984
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,480
maybe on a national level, but 
rolling with us every day and 

985
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,280
doing what you do. 
Just a little token of gratitude

986
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,680
and massive thank you to EA 
Sports, who I now have, who we 

987
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,320
now have a good relationship 
with. 

988
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,760
And we will do more and more 
stuff moving into the draft and 

989
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,160
hopefully a real long term 
relationship. 

990
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,360
So that's good. 
All right, Yeah. 

991
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:24,920
So the Mets got to get their act
together. 

992
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,520
OK, now I, I'm not saying I've 
never done this. 

993
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,120
I mean, of course you do it. 
Even if I could say this, I've 

994
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,440
never done it intentionally. 
I know sometimes it would sound 

995
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,160
like it maybe it was 
intentional. 

996
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,480
I've never been a troll, all 
right? 

997
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:44,280
And I've never been by design a 
hot take artist. 

998
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,840
That's just, it's not my mantra.
You got to remember, I know it's

999
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:52,000
a little bit more of of the 
culture and the content now, but

1000
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,720
when I got in the business, 
there were no hot takes. 

1001
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:57,800
So you just got on the air and 
you know, you talked about what 

1002
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,880
you watched the night before. 
You mess around, how a little 

1003
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,640
bit of fun, do a show, you know,
pack up shop, do it again the 

1004
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,560
next day. 
Obviously you know, where there 

1005
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:12,080
is a digital aspect and the more
bizarre or the more crazy or the

1006
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,520
more hot take ish generally 
there is a correlation with more

1007
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,360
clicks and then obviously you 
monetize that. 

1008
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:21,880
So if there is a a motive for 
some people to do that, that's 

1009
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,000
not how I'm going to make my 
living. 

1010
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,640
Not going to do it right, not 
now get sometimes maybe it 

1011
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,560
sounded like a hot take or 
whatever. 

1012
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,840
Never do that intentionally. 
So when I told you the other day

1013
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,560
and I saw some of the comments 
because I like to read them 

1014
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,080
because I like to respond to 
some of you guys. 

1015
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:44,240
When I told you the other day 
that Ben Rice reminds me of not 

1016
00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:47,080
so much body type or certainly 
not as defensive first baseman 

1017
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,280
approach, little bit of a young 
Mattingly. 

1018
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,800
That was my way of telling you 
#1 this kids going to be 

1019
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,480
phenomenal, which I said last 
year, by the way, and this 

1020
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:00,000
entire offseason and #2 that I 
think when it's all said and 

1021
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,840
done, he's going to be the three
hitter of the New York Yankees 

1022
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,920
now, the three hitter for the 
really the three hitter 

1023
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,000
anywhere. 
There was a different level of 

1024
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,800
prestige. 
You know, like back in the day, 

1025
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:16,120
the best hitter on any team that
I ever played on was without a 

1026
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,640
doubt the number 3, the three 
hitter, without question. 

1027
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,000
The one hitter was the guy who 
could run, get on base. 

1028
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,840
You know, and you still want the
on base guy now, but Grisham's, 

1029
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,320
you know, a power guy more than 
a speed, doesn't steal bases at 

1030
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,920
all. 
Lindor gives you both, well, 

1031
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,520
Tony gives you the power and 
actually he runs too when he 

1032
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,640
wants to, but you know, it's 
changed so much. 

1033
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,640
So you have the speed merchant, 
you know, got to get some hits, 

1034
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,040
whatever. 
Second guy, you know, go the 

1035
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,640
other way, keep the train 
moving. 

1036
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:46,880
You want him to run, maybe a 
little sneaky power. 

1037
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,600
And then the three hitter was 
the guy where he dug in. 

1038
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,040
It was like, I could take you 
deep, I can pull it. 

1039
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,880
I could bang a gapper off the 
wall the other way. 

1040
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,800
I'm going to hit line drives and
I'm going to pepper line drives 

1041
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,960
all over the diamond and along 
the way I'm going to probably 

1042
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:06,120
hit 310 back in the day, three, 
3:20 or 3:30 with 25 to 35 home 

1043
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:10,960
runs, you know, low end 115 
RBI's and and I'm going to be 

1044
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,440
one of the 456 best hitters in 
baseball. 

1045
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,000
Think Mattingly, think George 
Brett, think guys like that, 

1046
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,520
right. 
It's obviously changed because 

1047
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,760
if that were the case, then 
Aaron Judge would bat 3rd every 

1048
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:22,640
night. 
He doesn't. 

1049
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,720
We know that. 
But to me, Ben, Ben Rice and it 

1050
00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:32,520
started last year, his profile 
is just so easy to read. 

1051
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,920
This is not a mirage. 
This is not a hot start. 

1052
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,200
Ben Rice going to be an All 
Star. 

1053
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,640
Ben Rice going to be top ten of 
the MVP. 

1054
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,600
Ben Rice going to be one of the 
best hitters in baseball 

1055
00:49:43,720 --> 00:49:47,920
starting now for the next 678 
years. 

1056
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,360
He's that good. 
You guys just need to figure 

1057
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,480
that out. 
Some of you have, but he is that

1058
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,000
guy, you know, last year. 
Think about this and I can 

1059
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,800
obviously throw stats at you, 
but I won't for now. 

1060
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:02,040
To me, OK, what what defines a 
great young hitter? 

1061
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,000
And even at the lowest, like the
young, young level. 

1062
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,040
But I'm talking about the majors
now, right? 

1063
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:12,120
To me, what's your approach all 
about #1 #2 how often do you 

1064
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,640
hammer the baseball? 
How often do you barrel the 

1065
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:18,560
baseball and really hit it hard?
Well, an approach, there's a lot

1066
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:23,040
of layers to the approach, but 
how good are you at discerning 

1067
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,400
what truly is a ball versus a 
strike, right? 

1068
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,120
And think about those now, I 
know it's a little different 

1069
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,160
with the with the ABS now it's a
lot, it's a lot different. 

1070
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:33,600
But like the young, like the 
hitters, we're able to like that

1071
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,840
first borderline pitch that you 
know that you can't, you know, 

1072
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:38,920
pull or it's not what you're 
looking for. 

1073
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,000
Maybe you thinking 4 seam and 
it's it's cutter or you thinking

1074
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,440
2 seam and it's change up. 
And even though you read it 

1075
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,760
properly, you're not going to 
get your A level swing there. 

1076
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,360
So you spit on it. 
You hear that all the time, spit

1077
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,160
on the slider, right? 
Spit on the change up and it's a

1078
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,880
strike, but it's not what you're
looking for or it's close. 

1079
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,720
It presents itself as a strike, 
but it's a ball instead of 

1080
00:50:58,720 --> 00:51:02,360
swinging at that, rolling it 
over, popping it up, missing it.

1081
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:05,960
Well, now it's one O advantage 
you now the pitchers got to come

1082
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,840
a little bit more into you and 
now you're better equipped to 

1083
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,680
deal with the pitch that you can
handle because you know not that

1084
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,160
he can't go down 2O, but he's 
not trying to go down 2O. 

1085
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,040
And the more that you can put 
the count in your favor, 

1086
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:21,640
102-0303 one even 32 because 
he's going to probably come into

1087
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,160
you with guys on base. 
You know, you are increasing and

1088
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:29,560
all the stats back this up, 
increasing your ability to get a

1089
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,520
hit and hit with purpose and 
with power. 

1090
00:51:32,720 --> 00:51:35,720
You know, not a little blue, but
really bang one in the gap or 

1091
00:51:35,720 --> 00:51:39,520
put one in the seats. 
His approach is tremendous. 

1092
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,720
I mean, he is so written now 
he's playing against lefty. 

1093
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,720
He is so rarely fooled by a 
pitch. 

1094
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,880
It's amazing. 
Even his foul balls, he's right 

1095
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:51,920
on them. 
And if the pitch requires going 

1096
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,240
the other way like you did the 
other night in Seattle, that 

1097
00:51:54,240 --> 00:51:56,680
hard base hit to left field, he 
can do that. 

1098
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,720
You know, too many like Ryan 
McMahon, he's trying to pull 

1099
00:51:59,720 --> 00:52:01,560
that ball is probably going to 
swing and miss or he's going to 

1100
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:02,960
hit a little 5 hop for the 
second. 

1101
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,680
That's a rollover, right? 
His approach is amazing. 

1102
00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:09,200
It is beyond the it's, it's 
beyond his years. 

1103
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:13,120
It's beyond this experience. 
It's elite, Elite approach. 

1104
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,560
Not good, not real good. 
Phenomenal approach. 

1105
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:21,360
Check #2 all right, how often do
you hit the ball hard? 

1106
00:52:21,720 --> 00:52:25,800
And I remember saying this over 
the winter, There are 9 stats in

1107
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,240
baseball. 
Go to baseball Savant. 

1108
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,000
There are 9 offensive 
categories, prominent ones where

1109
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:35,040
he was in the 90 percentile or 
better, meaning it's all red, 

1110
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,960
meaning in 530, I think it was 
400. 

1111
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:38,920
Well, I had it written down, 
right? 

1112
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:44,360
Yeah, in 467 at bats last year 
and right around 530 plate 

1113
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,160
appearances, which obviously 
includes walks or getting hit by

1114
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,480
a pitch. 
AB is different from PA as you, 

1115
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:57,640
as you know, 99 categories, 90% 
or better 9, and it's 9 

1116
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:01,600
categories that matter and it's 
9 categories that will 

1117
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,680
ultimately define whether or not
you're going to be a stud in the

1118
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,480
batter's box. 
Ben Rice going to be an All 

1119
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,320
Star. 
Ben Rice going to be top ten in 

1120
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,280
the MVP. 
Ben Rice going to be the three 

1121
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:10,320
hitter, or at least he should 
be. 

1122
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,200
I know baseball's different for 
the Yankees for a long time and 

1123
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:17,720
I think based on his IQ and his 
aptitude and his work ethic, and

1124
00:53:17,720 --> 00:53:20,400
I've already seen signs so far, 
I think at the end of the day, I

1125
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,080
think Ben Rice going to be fine 
at first base. 

1126
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,680
No, I wish I had Mattingly or 
Tino or Toshira. 

1127
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:30,160
He's never going to be that guy 
playing first base, but even 

1128
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,560
Rizzo when he was here, he's not
going to be Stone hands. 

1129
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,080
He's going to figure it out over
there. 

1130
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:38,600
He is all about baseball. 
This kid is the real deal, man. 

1131
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:43,080
So now you look at the Yankees 
early season and again, I don't 

1132
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,600
want to go nuts about this, but 
Rice and Judge will eventually 

1133
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,040
bang and you know Bellinger is 
going to do what he does. 

1134
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,480
Jazz hopefully wakes up 
whatever. 

1135
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,560
I don't like the bottom third. 
I talked about this Jim McMahon 

1136
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:55,760
stinks. 
I don't care what I love Boone. 

1137
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,000
I don't care how many times 
Aaron Boone tells us or tells me

1138
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,480
that Ryan McMahon's going to be 
a really good hitter or there or

1139
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,400
there's more there. 
I don't think that there is. 

1140
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,480
Respectfully, Skip, I love you 
don't agree. 

1141
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,440
I just I he's the exact opposite
of Ben Rice. 

1142
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,880
His approach stinks. 
His hit the ball hard because 

1143
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,800
he's always in the whole O2 
instead of being up to O2 one 

1144
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,200
it's, you know, fastball, foul 
back, slider, swing and miss O2 

1145
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,160
you dead. 
That's how you hit 210 at this 

1146
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,080
level 220 right? 
And his OPS and all the stats 

1147
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:25,320
over the years encompassing a 
lot of baseball in course field,

1148
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,040
by the way, you know, it's just 
too much evidence to the 

1149
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,600
contrary that he's going to 
figure things out. 

1150
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:33,440
So the bottom and I don't really
know if Austin Wells is ever 

1151
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,120
going to be better than a 225 
hitter. 

1152
00:54:35,240 --> 00:54:37,440
He's going to hit home runs and 
he's a good defensive catcher. 

1153
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,000
So I like him. 
But you know, you're looking at 

1154
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:44,280
789 Caballero or eventually 
Volpe Wells and McMahon. 

1155
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:47,320
That's that's not good. 
That is the only thing about 

1156
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,480
this Yankees start to the season
that you cannot like. 

1157
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,240
All right, again, if you're 
worried about Judge, that's on 

1158
00:54:53,240 --> 00:54:54,040
you. 
I don't know what to tell you, 

1159
00:54:55,240 --> 00:54:59,960
Cam Schlittler. 
I mean, guys, I'm telling you, 

1160
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:04,040
if the Yankees get to the World 
Series this year and when you 

1161
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,280
get early in the season, I don't
care if you're the worst team in

1162
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,960
baseball or the best team in 
baseball like the Dodgers over 

1163
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,680
the years or really good teams 
like the Yankees or Toronto or 

1164
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,560
the Phillies or, you know, the 
Padres and the Mets. 

1165
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:17,960
Hopefully Mets get this turn 
around. 

1166
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,560
Mets have a good team on paper. 
Those Tigers, I would say 

1167
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,800
probably Brewers as well. 
Like you're going to be excited 

1168
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,680
no matter what because you know,
you have a pretty good team. 

1169
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,040
But I almost don't want to say 
this because this could be 

1170
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,680
construed as a hot take. 
Not that I care, but I really 

1171
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:37,320
mean this so far in about a 
small of a sample as you can 

1172
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,240
have. 
The 2026 Yankees look a little 

1173
00:55:40,240 --> 00:55:43,200
different. 
They feel a little different. 

1174
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,320
And when Cam Schlittler takes 
that baseball I got a couple 

1175
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:47,480
stats for. 
I got to hit you with a few of 

1176
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,400
these because when you're 
talking about history, remember 

1177
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,200
I gave you the stat. 
The Yankees starters in terms of

1178
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:56,480
giving up runs, the fewest over 
5 games since 1943 World War 

1179
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,920
Two, World War 2. 
Here's another one for you. 

1180
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,600
That's crazy. 
So the Yankees starters now. 

1181
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,280
All right, we'll just want a 
little little FaceTime there. 

1182
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:06,600
J Rod popping in. 
Let everybody. 

1183
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:11,320
Know I didn't know if it was 
like a little call to like a 

1184
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,240
little call and response kind of
thing by. 

1185
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,400
The way how we doing with the 
with with the EA stuff good I'm.

1186
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:18,880
Just like keeping a notes tab of
it. 

1187
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:20,520
Atta boy, Atta boy. 
Good job with that. 

1188
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,600
Thank you, Jay. 
I got another Yankee stat for 

1189
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,800
you. 
Yankee starters have allowed two

1190
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,120
earned. 
Now, can't you listen? 

1191
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:27,560
Somebody's going to get ripped 
eventually. 

1192
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,920
It's going to happen. 2 earned 
runs in their first six games, 

1193
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:36,120
which is the fewest of any 
rotation since 1900. 

1194
00:56:36,720 --> 00:56:40,000
Now the Yankees have actually 
started off very well most years

1195
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,160
and then they hit the little 
swoon and then, you know, all 

1196
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,720
right, make trades, everybody 
yelling, everybody just negative

1197
00:56:45,720 --> 00:56:48,840
Yankee energy. 
I, I feel like the Yankees this 

1198
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,480
year are, are going to be a 
little different. 

1199
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:53,120
It doesn't assure a 
championship. 

1200
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,320
It doesn't, it doesn't assure a 
return to the World Series. 

1201
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:59,480
But Cam Schlittler and a lot of 
this, a lot of the hope that I 

1202
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:03,160
had for the Yankees coming in 
was the expectation that Cam 

1203
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:04,880
would continue to step forward. 
And he has. 

1204
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:10,200
How about this for you? 
First Yankee ever not to start a

1205
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:14,440
season in any consecutive starts
of any Yankee ever. 

1206
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,520
I know I'm getting a little 
statty here, but I mean these 

1207
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,640
are these are amazing stats. 
I got to hit you with them, 

1208
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,400
right? 
First Yankee pitcher ever. 

1209
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:29,720
No runs, no walks, 15 or more 
strikeouts in any, not in their 

1210
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:34,040
two starts to start the season 
in any two game span in the 

1211
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:38,360
history of the New York Yankees.
Now, the Yankees history has 

1212
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,040
always been more than the Bronx 
Bombers, the Monica, right? 

1213
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,360
You know, DiMaggio and obviously
Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth and 

1214
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,160
Mickey Mantle and Yogi and of 
course the 70s Yankees with 

1215
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,920
Reggie and Thurman and Nettles 
and you know, Mattingly and 

1216
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:51,960
Winfield when he was here And 
the Yankees, you know, even 

1217
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:55,160
though the Yankees pitching from
96 home was outstanding as well.

1218
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,360
Bernie was a hitter. 
Tino was a hitter. 

1219
00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,400
I mean, come on. 
Posada was a switch hitting 

1220
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,760
power catcher. 
Canoe after that to share a rod 

1221
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,800
with multiple MVPS, Derek. 
I mean, they like when the 

1222
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,360
Yankees are at their best. 
They've got both. 

1223
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:12,040
This Yankee lineup is not bad. 
This Yankee pitching staff might

1224
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:15,840
be the best of my lifetime. 
It might wind up being the best 

1225
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,240
of my life. 
And I've said this, this is the 

1226
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:21,880
reason for optimism when I'm 
just imagine now, there's no 

1227
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,680
guarantee it it it gets to this 
point because I don't know what 

1228
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,080
the future holds for Garrett 
Cole. 

1229
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,440
I hope there's no interruptions.
But just imagine if he comes 

1230
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:35,720
back as Garrett Cole, even if 
he's 90% of Garrett Cole or 85% 

1231
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:37,800
of Garrett Cole. 
The Saigon. 

1232
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,520
Garrett Cole. 
Freed ace. 

1233
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:44,600
Schlittler ace. 
Cole Ace. 

1234
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,560
Think about that. 
Freed ace. 

1235
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,640
I'll say it again without 
stumbling, in case J Rod wants 

1236
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:51,840
to cut this up, make a little 
YouTube short. 

1237
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,120
Let's not stumble now. 
Now the pressure's on. 

1238
00:58:54,720 --> 00:59:00,440
Freed ace, Cam ace, Cole Ace 
rolled on eventually your 4th 

1239
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,760
pitcher, your 5th pitcher. 
I mean, this staff is going to 

1240
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:06,760
be lights out and I think 
there's I know there's a lot of 

1241
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:10,160
power arms that they love as 
they figure out the roles in the

1242
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,760
back of the bullpen. 
I know Bednar got touched up, 

1243
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,560
but he's really, really good. 
Gave up that hit to Rolly, 

1244
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,440
whatever. 
And it's a two run single. 

1245
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,960
I think he's a stud. 
I trust him. 

1246
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:24,720
But what's going to come before 
him is going to be gas, like 

1247
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:31,000
guys who throw 100 regularly. 
So Ditto now that you mix in a 

1248
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:35,080
maturing Ben Rice and eventually
the great all time Aaron Judge 

1249
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:39,600
doing his thing and Bellinger, 
who is a very good above average

1250
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,080
Major League Baseball player. 
Yanks are cooking with gas, man.

1251
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,040
And you know, listen, as much as
I complain about McMahon and who

1252
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:51,360
knows about, you know, shortstop
Caballero Volpe, you know, Jazz 

1253
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,360
is going to have these moments 
where he looks like the best. 

1254
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,480
And then he's just madding, 
which we saw yesterday. 

1255
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,880
He's not hitting because he's 
trying to hit fifty home runs, 

1256
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:59,360
which I told you would be an 
issue. 

1257
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,800
That was my problem with when 
he's I'm going to hit fifty home

1258
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:03,360
runs. 
I'm going to hit 50 and 50 won't

1259
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:04,920
be the first. 
I'm going to be another 5050 

1260
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:05,800
guy. 
Fantastic. 

1261
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:09,040
OK, number one, you got to get 
on base to hit 50 and #2 when 

1262
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:12,120
you selling out to hit 50 bombs,
what the hell happens to your 

1263
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:13,760
batting average and your 
mechanics there? 

1264
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:17,040
So I don't really know about 
him, but imagine if the Yankees 

1265
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,720
make. 
A big, big trade and they owe it

1266
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,520
to Aaron Judge. 
I don't mean tonight or next 

1267
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:26,720
week by the deadline. 
And they somehow find a real 

1268
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,120
viable hitting third baseman. 
Now, I don't think they're going

1269
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:31,960
to find a better defensive third
baseman. 

1270
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,640
And if the other components are 
are like if Wells has a a 

1271
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,760
developing, like if he develops 
more than I think he probably 

1272
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,120
will. 
And Grisham again, is kind of 

1273
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:44,680
Grisham from last year and he's,
you know, 30 plus home runs, 800

1274
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:48,800
plus OPS, you know, Judge Rice. 
And maybe you don't need to make

1275
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,880
a trade for stick at 3rd. 
But if they do with this 

1276
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:56,640
pitching, this has the makings 
of a World Series champion. 

1277
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:58,760
I didn't say it last year, 
didn't feel it. 

1278
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,920
Obviously when they got sold. 
I'm like, all right, this could 

1279
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,640
be different. 
And they did get to the World 

1280
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:04,360
Series. 
But I'm not one of these dudes 

1281
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,280
who just says I'm actually going
to get to the World Series 

1282
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,120
because I don't think they've 
been good enough. 

1283
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,440
And that's why I've always been 
on Brian Cashman. 

1284
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,520
All the Cashman drops in the 
morning, Brian Cashman has not 

1285
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,880
earned the right. 
Brian Cashman is I think Brian 

1286
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:20,920
Cashman is has been below 
average at his job the last X 

1287
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,840
amount of years. 
It takes one position player 

1288
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:27,760
trade with this staff and the 
Yankees could and very well 

1289
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,400
might beat anybody. 
I'm pumped up about my Yankees 

1290
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:31,120
here. 
J Rod. 

1291
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,560
I really and you know, I'm 
pretty measured with that man. 

1292
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,920
I'm not just some, you know, I'm
not some Homer with the Yankees 

1293
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,040
when I got it, when I got to go 
deep and then my God, when I got

1294
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:39,880
to criticize them. 
I do. 

1295
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,280
I love the way the Yankees look 
early. 

1296
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:45,680
On yeah, I mean, it's a it's 
certainly a hot and historic 

1297
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:49,160
start so far. 
I mean, like, shit, like even 

1298
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,400
when I'm watching, I can tell 
these guys are are are lethal, 

1299
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:57,280
are nasty like. 
And what's Stanton Batten so 

1300
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,240
far? 
Well, he got he's, I think he's 

1301
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,280
like 529. 
He's got two hits in every game.

1302
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:03,880
Yeah, I know. 
Yeah, I saw that's he's like the

1303
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:07,120
one of what, how many people to 
do it in like each of their 

1304
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,040
first like multiple hits in 
each. 

1305
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:13,120
I think he's the first, I think.
He's the first five games. 

1306
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,280
Yes, I thought that was the. 
I thought he was the first 

1307
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:18,200
player in Major League history 
to get at least two hits, two or

1308
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,240
more in the first five games of 
the season. 

1309
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:22,240
Impressive. 
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that that 

1310
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,240
was it. 
I know that he did that, but I 

1311
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,040
think he was the only one. 
Not me. 

1312
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,840
Listen, come on. 
Eventually he's going to. 

1313
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,080
Well, here's the good thing. 
As he starts to cool down, you 

1314
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:34,080
would think the Judge would 
start to ramp up, which would 

1315
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:37,800
mitigate him cooling down. 
So I really, really like the 

1316
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:39,480
look. 
You know, I know that Yankee 

1317
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,400
fans are enthused right now. 
You should be what is Dee saying

1318
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,280
here? 
Seattle gave up half the farm 

1319
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,800
farm farm for Donovan Price was 
high. 

1320
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:50,200
Say goodbye to Lombard and 
they're not giving up that kid. 

1321
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,080
I I don't I don't think that 
they are now let let me say this

1322
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:54,600
about a trade. 
Thank you for that D Rod. 

1323
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,120
I appreciate it, buddy. 
This is going to sound this will

1324
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:59,880
sound like a hot take, but I 
want to explain it and I and 

1325
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:05,360
I'll stand by this right. 
If the Detroit Tigers called me 

1326
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:13,360
up or if the Pirates called me 
up right now and said, all 

1327
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:21,640
right, ready to make a move, we 
want Cam Schlittler, We want 

1328
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:27,280
Lombard and whatever, you know, 
whatever 9th best prospect in a 

1329
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:31,640
ball, whatever a flame throwing 
stud pitcher in addition to Cam 

1330
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:33,800
out of the bullpen, one of these
young arms and whatever 

1331
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:35,840
components would make it a 
viable trade because it's going 

1332
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,000
to be a hole. 
I'm not giving up Cam 

1333
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,200
Schlittler. 
I wouldn't not only would I not 

1334
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,400
give up Cam Schlittler in that 
deal because I think I think a 

1335
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,080
lot of people agree with that. 
Oh, well, you got to give up Cam

1336
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,520
Schlittler for a rental. 
Let me push it further. 

1337
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:51,880
I wouldn't give up Cam 
Schlittler in for schemes or 

1338
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:57,000
schoolable, even if I knew that 
an extension was done with 

1339
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:02,080
either schemes or schoolable. 
I'm going to tell you why so 

1340
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,840
and, and, and not just reacting 
to the first two games. 

1341
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:08,720
And it's hard not to react, but 
I'm getting separation from that

1342
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:14,480
and not just reacting to the Red
Sox playoff dominance a year 

1343
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:17,440
ago. 
It's all the other stuff. 

1344
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:21,160
The numbers, the measurables, 
the data, the analytics. 

1345
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:26,560
And my eyes, most importantly 
tell me this young man is 

1346
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,320
different. 
He is built different. 

1347
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:31,840
He's 66, so the ball's on you 
quicker. 

1348
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:34,040
He's got an expanding 
repertoire. 

1349
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:37,800
He throws gas. 
He he commands every part of the

1350
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,120
plate. 
He trusts every pitch he has. 

1351
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:43,560
And he's got some stones like he
is. 

1352
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:47,280
He is. 
He's a dog man. 

1353
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:49,280
You heard what he tweeted from 
Boston, right? 

1354
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,640
You heard what he or you saw 
what he tweeted out last year. 

1355
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:56,280
He's the kind of guy that goes 
into an opposing stadium 40,000 

1356
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,960
in October all over and boot him
and it's his fuel. 

1357
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,680
He eats it up. 
It makes him better. 

1358
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:04,840
Nothing. 
Now, I don't know if he's going 

1359
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:07,000
to stay healthy. 
That's the one thing knocking 

1360
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,000
hard on wood there. 
You just never know. 

1361
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:17,360
My analysis and my belief in Cam
Schlittler is 100% he is going 

1362
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:23,440
to be an absolute certifiable no
doubt ace without question. 

1363
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:27,360
So as you know what what Freed's
on that seven-year deal, I think

1364
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:30,400
it was set was it 8? 
It was a lot of years 7 or 8 as 

1365
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:34,160
Freed and not this year or next,
but as Freed begins to, you 

1366
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:38,680
know, go from an A pitcher to 
like AB plus, right, that 

1367
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,880
gradual, barely perceptible 
transition that happens to 

1368
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,760
everybody, right? 
When that happens, Cam 

1369
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:48,040
Schlittler will be the ace 
without a doubt, and he'll be 

1370
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:52,120
one of the best pitchers in 
baseball and the reason why I 

1371
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:55,760
wouldn't give him up for school 
ball or schemes even if I knew 

1372
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:59,600
that they were coming with a 10 
year extension for a gazillion 

1373
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:01,720
dollars. 
Let me hit you with this. 

1374
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:09,120
Do you believe that Cam 
Schlittler will be? 

1375
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,760
I want to go nuts. 
I want to be fair because Skeens

1376
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:14,080
is phenomenal and school balls 
back-to-back insane. 

1377
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:19,120
These guys are great. 
Do you believe that he will be, 

1378
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:22,280
let's say 8? 
I want to be a little 

1379
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:28,840
conservative here, 80%, maybe 
even 85% of those guys as he 

1380
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,680
gets more reps and figures out 
the league and continues to 

1381
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:35,080
grow. 
If your answer is no, then you 

1382
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,120
make the trade. 
My answer is yes, which is why I

1383
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:41,480
say I appreciate that. 
Pittsburgh, I'm good Click. 

1384
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,000
I got you Tigers. 
You know, he's tremendous. 

1385
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:48,440
We're good Click because you got
to think about this monetarily 

1386
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:52,040
and and obviously projecting 
Schlittler as a as a stud. 

1387
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:56,360
One of the reasons why the 
Yankees have been handcuffed 

1388
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,800
over the years is some of the 
contracts. 

1389
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:03,560
And I I do think that Hal's 
been, you know, unjustly 

1390
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:05,280
positioned in the court of 
public opinion. 

1391
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:07,120
Like anybody that says how's 
cheap. 

1392
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,840
I, I, I can't even have a 
conversation with you because 

1393
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,200
you're an idiot. 
If you think that how if you 

1394
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:16,200
think that how's cheap, you just
hate and take hating purposes. 

1395
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:19,600
But you got a $325 million 
payroll and your top three in 

1396
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:21,560
baseball every year. 
You're not cheap. 

1397
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:25,360
The criticism should be maybe 
they're not well now, maybe this

1398
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:27,960
is an element of cheapness, but 
it just in terms of payroll, 

1399
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:33,120
like the Yankees have been too 
far too reticent to buy 

1400
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:36,800
themselves out of mistakes. 
Like, oh, Gallo was not a lot of

1401
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:38,320
money, but dude, get out of 
here. 

1402
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,440
Here's your money. 
All right, Hicks made a mistake 

1403
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:41,400
here, though. 
Here's your money. 

1404
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,000
They finally did it, but should 
have done it a year before that.

1405
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,800
Even Rizzo Islands move on. 
Even Stanton, who, you know, 

1406
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:51,240
maybe this is going to be one of
those massive renaissance, you 

1407
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:53,200
know, even though when he when 
he plays, he always hits. 

1408
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,720
But I mean, maybe stance is 
going to play 130 games this 

1409
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:57,360
year. 
Maybe he's going to hit 38 home 

1410
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:01,960
runs and having an OPS in 910. 
I mean, I don't know, but it 

1411
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:05,280
looks great so far. 
But I I can't be disingenuous. 

1412
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:08,840
I've been on the record many 
years by outstanding the Marlins

1413
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,360
are paying some money. 
I know he's got a no trade 

1414
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,440
figure it out, whatever. 
And then that would have enabled

1415
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:17,040
them to get back in the day 
somebody like a Bryce Harper. 

1416
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:21,560
I'm I'm not as big a Machado fan
as some of you are, but that did

1417
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,040
not allow or that prevented them
from doing that with Machado. 

1418
01:08:24,279 --> 01:08:28,399
So if you want to say that how 
and obviously cash been more so 

1419
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:32,640
some of their investments have 
been wrong and it's been it's 

1420
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:37,160
created this this inability or 
or lack of willingness or both 

1421
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:42,240
to shed themselves of some of 
these albatross contracts which 

1422
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:45,319
have prevented them from 
building out a better baseball 

1423
01:08:45,319 --> 01:08:46,520
roster. 
Oh, hell yeah. 

1424
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:49,479
I'm with you 100%. 
I agree with that assertion, no 

1425
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:51,240
doubt. 
But he's not cheap. 

1426
01:08:51,399 --> 01:08:55,640
All right, so now I just wanted 
to say that to get to this, if 

1427
01:08:55,640 --> 01:09:01,000
you were to trade Schlittler for
Skeens or School Bowl and he's 

1428
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,840
coming here with nine years, 10 
years, five, 607, well, I don't 

1429
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:06,120
even know what it's going to be.
My God. 

1430
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:11,120
Well, I know how the Yankees 
operate, Howe versus George, and

1431
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:15,840
I know that downstream it will 
prevent them from getting other 

1432
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,399
position players. 
Aaron Judge is 34, all right, 

1433
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,080
Bella, just in his early 30s, 
going to be here for a couple of

1434
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:23,560
years. 
But it's not like he's 25. 

1435
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,640
But he's ascending. 
He's really good. 

1436
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:28,040
He's in his prime, thrilled that
he's back. 

1437
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,680
But this is not a 567 year run. 
It's not. 

1438
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:31,840
We know we can opt out, 
whatever. 

1439
01:09:32,319 --> 01:09:34,840
So McMahon's going to be gone. 
Who knows about Volpe? 

1440
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,600
You know I love, you know, you 
know, I love Ben Rice. 

1441
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,560
Grisham's going to be gone. 
They don't like Dominguez. 

1442
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:42,319
Jones stinks. 
He's never going to hit. 

1443
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:44,600
So Jazz is not going to be here 
long term. 

1444
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,200
They're not giving him a deal. 
There are going to be other 

1445
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:50,399
players that they're going to 
want to pursue to play 

1446
01:09:50,399 --> 01:09:53,200
positions. 
And if you trade for school or 

1447
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,480
schemes and then, you know, even
if you trade from without the 

1448
01:09:56,480 --> 01:09:58,320
guarantee contract. 
And again, they they, they, they

1449
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:00,440
they're not coming here with a 
contract. 

1450
01:10:00,440 --> 01:10:02,800
I just say that to illuminate 
how much I believe in Camp 

1451
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,960
Schlittler. 
But even if you did that without

1452
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,720
the contract and then you. 
I'm like Soto. 

1453
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:11,160
Oh, man, I love it here. 
All right, Hey, I'm going to 

1454
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,240
play the game on free agency. 
I'm going to string the Yankees 

1455
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,040
for more money, get the extra 
year, get the other $100 

1456
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:17,520
million. 
I want to stay with the Yankees.

1457
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,280
It was always my lifelong dream 
to be a Yankee. 

1458
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:23,680
OK, well, now Camp Schlittler's 
now you got a rotation of Max 

1459
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,120
Freed making a ton of money and 
he's worth it. 

1460
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:29,560
And then Schooble or Skeens 
making a ton of money and 

1461
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:33,480
they're worth it now. 
They're worth it now. 

1462
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,560
So to me, if you're getting, 
that's why I gave you the 

1463
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:41,880
question, like what percentage 
of of like of production do you 

1464
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:45,920
think that Cam Schlitter really 
is compared to a Schooble or or 

1465
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:48,760
or any other great pitcher? 
Those are the two best in 

1466
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:52,160
baseball. 
I mean, at the at the floor 

1467
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:57,520
minimum, he's at least I'm not 
even going 80, he's at least 

1468
01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:00,240
85%. 
Because think about this of both

1469
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:01,800
of those guys, because think 
about it. 

1470
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:04,360
If you get, you know, if you're 
an ace, right and you're 

1471
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:10,240
healthy, do a little math here. 
You usually get 3233, maybe 34 

1472
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,960
starts, but let's just say 30. 
Make it easy math, right, 30 

1473
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:16,640
starts, all right, over 30 
starts. 

1474
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:18,880
If Cam slit there now I know 
he's young, so they've got to 

1475
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:20,240
watch the innings. 
I'm talking about just 

1476
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:22,680
generalizations here, right? 
Broad, broad parameters. 

1477
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:27,680
If you are a top of the rotation
superstar with elite top shelf 

1478
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:32,280
stuff and you make 30 starts, 
you're striking out minimally 

1479
01:11:32,480 --> 01:11:37,040
220 guys minimum, minimum you, 
if you're really that kind of a 

1480
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:40,800
guy you're batting average 
against is going to be, I don't 

1481
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:47,160
know, 1718190 all right, and 
your WHIP is going to be 

1482
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,680
slightly below 1. 
Now, if I'm telling you that I 

1483
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:55,440
think the Cam Schlittler is 80 
just in terms of stuff is 85% of

1484
01:11:55,440 --> 01:11:59,240
school ball and schemes and and 
you disagree, it's your right to

1485
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:01,840
disagree, obviously. 
Oh, dude, it's too early. 

1486
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:03,360
Nah, I don't see that that's 
your opinion. 

1487
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:04,320
That's fine. 
I respect that. 

1488
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:08,080
But now let's jump into the math
because if you say that that's 

1489
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:10,920
not true and that's a ridiculous
take on my end. 

1490
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:15,120
What you're really saying is, is
that somebody like Schooble and 

1491
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:20,440
somebody like Skeens is going to
strike out 120 more batters than

1492
01:12:20,440 --> 01:12:24,080
Cam Schlittler over the same 
amount of space or they're going

1493
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:27,680
to have 90 percentage points on 
the batting average against 

1494
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:29,320
lower. 
And I got news for you, they're 

1495
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:33,440
not or Scuba or Skins is going 
to have a WHIP of nobody has 

1496
01:12:33,440 --> 01:12:39,320
this half of 1 so .500 and Cam 
Schlittler is going to have a 

1497
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:43,600
WHIP of, you know, 1.23. 
Now he might have a 12 week 

1498
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:44,640
though, I think that's very 
high. 

1499
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,920
But those other guys won't have 
half of 1. 

1500
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:52,200
They'll be slightly below 1, 
which does not represent a, you 

1501
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:56,680
know, a 30 or 40% better 
effective rate, if you will, 

1502
01:12:56,840 --> 01:13:00,440
which is all I'm saying. 
So why the hell would I trade a 

1503
01:13:00,440 --> 01:13:04,840
guy who's making $800,000 a 
year, who's basically giving you

1504
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:08,000
the same production? 
Why would I do that? 

1505
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:12,400
I'm not doing that, not doing 
it, and I will not change my 

1506
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:14,280
tune. 
Even if Kim Schlitter has a 

1507
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:16,720
rough and he's going to get 
knocked around at some point, 

1508
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,680
even if he has a rough month. 
I believe so much in his stuff. 

1509
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:25,120
I believe so much in his makeup.
I believe so much in his desire 

1510
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:28,720
to be great, not be good, to be 
great. 

1511
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:33,880
And now you're around every day,
a tactician, a surgeon like Max 

1512
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:35,920
Freed. 
And eventually, I know Cole's. 

1513
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:37,760
You know, Cole was in the dugout
last year. 

1514
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,040
And as Cole gets back from 
rehab, you're in the pitching 

1515
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:45,680
meetings with Garrett Cole and 
Max Freed, two of the best 

1516
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:50,960
pitchers this this century. 
You know, think about the path 

1517
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:54,160
this young man is on. 
So I'm not making that trade 

1518
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:56,240
now. 
I mean what I love. 

1519
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,360
I don't think that the I got to 
keep it real now. 

1520
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,160
I mean my my preference would be
all right. 

1521
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:05,200
Let's just say 2027. 
Let's say let's say one of the 

1522
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:08,960
two guys schemes or school bull 
gets dealt this year and I think

1523
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,920
of the two probably more likely 
it will be school bull, although

1524
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:14,200
I do think there's a chance 
because the tigers will be good 

1525
01:14:14,440 --> 01:14:16,600
and I don't think the pirates 
are ready to trade him yet. 

1526
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:18,680
Even though the pirates won't be
very good. 

1527
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:24,560
Let's say that they both enter 
the offseason now, Schemes would

1528
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:28,360
still have a high level of 
controllability and Schoolbo 

1529
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:31,680
would be a full throttle free 
agent with no ties, right? 

1530
01:14:32,440 --> 01:14:37,800
I mean, of course. 
Hey, 2027 Yankees rotation Freed

1531
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:40,360
one. 
Well, actually, let's just all 

1532
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:42,520
right, let's just say Freed for 
symbolism because he's been 

1533
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:46,680
here. 
Freed 1, Schemes 2 or Schoolable

1534
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:51,600
2. 
Either or call 3 Cam Schlittler 

1535
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:58,280
4 Bro Don 5. 
Warren 5 Clark Schmidt 5. 

1536
01:14:59,440 --> 01:15:00,800
Doesn't matter. 
Who the Hell's five? 

1537
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:04,200
Really doesn't matter. 
I don't think that that will 

1538
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:10,000
happen because the Yankees won't
pay up that kind of money from 

1539
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,120
one of those guys. 
I I don't think that they will. 

1540
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,920
That's why I'm keeping Cam 
because by doing it, I think 

1541
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:20,880
when it is time to jump back 
into that, that big pool of free

1542
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:23,840
agency, whomever that player is 
going to be, you know, Vlady 

1543
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,600
signed, Soto signed. 
A lot of these guys have opt 

1544
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:28,080
outs too, like Michette could 
bounce. 

1545
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:30,240
And I've got to look at Tucker's
deal a little bit more. 

1546
01:15:30,440 --> 01:15:33,000
So it's a little it's it's a 
little different, modern, modern

1547
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,920
way of doing business. 
But man, oh man, the Yankees are

1548
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:39,200
set up in a multitude of ways. 
The reasons I just gave you to 

1549
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:42,880
just be an incredibly 
interesting watch and possibly a

1550
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:47,200
champion this year. 
Charlie 60s, Charlie F6675, 

1551
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:49,160
Chuck, what's up? 
Mets did it right, getting 

1552
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:51,120
paroled and not giving up their 
best young pitcher, but their 

1553
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:54,560
second best is in in Sproat. 
Yep, Yanks can can. 

1554
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,720
Yanks can yet give up Schiller. 
We're not. 

1555
01:15:58,000 --> 01:15:59,600
Yeah, Yanks can. 
Yanks can. 

1556
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:01,800
I guess you mean not. 
Yankees cannot give up 

1557
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:04,280
Schlittler, Give up that 
secondary guy. 

1558
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:06,920
Well, I mean, yeah, but Charlie,
I mean, that's easy to to to 

1559
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:09,440
write to me during the show, but
that's going to be a little 

1560
01:16:09,440 --> 01:16:12,000
harder sell when you've got 
other teams who might be willing

1561
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:13,880
to give up their organization's 
top guy. 

1562
01:16:14,480 --> 01:16:17,240
I mean, we're talking about 
school ball and schemes, you 

1563
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:20,040
know what I mean? 
Now, if you want to tell the one

1564
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:24,600
difference, the leverage point 
would be schemes because he's 

1565
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:26,960
got controlled ability and 
Schoolville, he can't control 

1566
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,040
anything. 
Well, he can control everything 

1567
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:30,160
in terms of money and where he 
goes. 

1568
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:33,560
But the little juice here that 
if Skeens wanted to flex behind 

1569
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:37,240
the door, behind the closed 
doors, he could always say, hey,

1570
01:16:37,480 --> 01:16:39,600
say if they come to a mid 
season, hey, we got a deal on 

1571
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:43,440
the table. 
I don't the Phillies, the 

1572
01:16:43,440 --> 01:16:46,040
Orioles see, I don't throw the 
Yankees right. 

1573
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,840
And the other deals are slightly
better than what the Yankees are

1574
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:52,440
offering. 
Maybe they're like they're not 

1575
01:16:52,440 --> 01:16:54,760
offering Cam Schlitter to your 
point. 

1576
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:58,760
He can say to them and you can 
make the trade, but as soon as 

1577
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:00,920
I'm free, I'm gone. 
I want to be a Yankee. 

1578
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:08,120
Now, once that's communicated by
his agents and the the Pirates, 

1579
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:13,520
now those other teams are like, 
you know, that's he's, he's that

1580
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:15,200
hell bent on going to the 
Yankees. 

1581
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:19,720
Why are we giving up our top 
three or top or five of our of 

1582
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:21,800
our top 9 prospects? 
Like so there's always a 

1583
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:25,640
calculus that is involved there 
that is a little rough to read 

1584
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:28,880
now, but Scubal's going to be 
about the money like Soda was. 

1585
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:31,880
And I think Skeins is going to 
be about eventually the money. 

1586
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:33,920
But really, does he want to be a
Yankee? 

1587
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:36,040
And I think he does. 
I don't know that to be true. 

1588
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:39,760
You've heard you get the 
impression that he does. 

1589
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:43,200
But what's going on? 
What else we got here? 

1590
01:17:44,160 --> 01:17:45,640
What do we got here? 
What do we got? 

1591
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:52,080
What is this? 
Is J Rod still with us here? 

1592
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:54,960
What's up? 
What's up, brother? 

1593
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:57,080
Are they all gone? 
Do we have them all gone? 

1594
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:01,160
No, no, we still got, we still 
got a decent, we still got 18 

1595
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:02,000
left. 
What? 

1596
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:05,840
So we let's get at it. 
All right, so tell everybody, 

1597
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:07,200
first of all, get it up on the 
screen. 

1598
01:18:07,480 --> 01:18:10,200
Can you do this for us? 
Get this up on the screen. 

1599
01:18:10,480 --> 01:18:15,240
Madden 26 today all right, 
college football tomorrow. 

1600
01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:19,120
We are giving you Oh nice. 
That's a great those are great 

1601
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:20,520
man. 
That that one that might be the 

1602
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:23,200
best one ever would say that's 
sick dude. 

1603
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:26,200
We're we're giving you free

Just text you know Xbox and gay 
rods taking no I threw. 

1611
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:54,720
Up like let's go in the comment 
I threw a play, I pinned a chat 

1612
01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:58,080
just giving them the directions 
on how to do it at the top. 

1613
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:02,120
So yeah, throw those handles, 
throw those consoles come on, 

1614
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:04,280
let's give these codes out. 
We trying to give them out. 

1615
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,440
It's yeah, don't, don't be 
dashful here. 

1616
01:19:06,440 --> 01:19:08,760
No, and I'm not going to wait 
around for three hours just, you

1617
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:10,680
know, for you guys to get off 
your behinds and take care of 

1618
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:11,680
business. 
Yeah, No, let's go. 

1619
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:14,480
I'm doing the show. 
And then, you know, once, once 

1620
01:19:14,480 --> 01:19:16,720
the show's over, show's over and
then the chance expires. 

1621
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:18,840
So just take them. 
I'm giving you a freebie. 

1622
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:21,720
What's the expression if if it's
free? 

1623
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:23,920
I'm taking three. 
I mean, I can't give you 3, but 

1624
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:25,280
I'm giving you one. 
Wake up. 

1625
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:31,080
RDJ 0414. 
Any thoughts on Judge hitting 

1626
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:32,560
125? 
Zero. 

1627
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:34,600
None. 
I mean, what do you want me to 

1628
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:35,480
say? 
I mean, you think I'm going to 

1629
01:19:35,480 --> 01:19:38,640
get on Aaron Judge? 
It's the height of lunacy now, I

1630
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:41,960
guess, you know, I mean, what I 
will say is I'm not worried at 

1631
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:43,360
all. 
I mean, if that's the case, he's

1632
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:47,040
got a couple of home runs. 
You know, I think as the year 

1633
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:49,880
goes on, I think obviously based
on how he has been and has been 

1634
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:53,080
proven, how he has been 
penalized more than anybody by a

1635
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:57,400
massive margin in Major League 
Baseball by this extended strike

1636
01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:01,000
zone, just given the sheer size 
that that that he has, you know,

1637
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:03,080
I think that that's going to 
help him. 

1638
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:05,520
And I think once Aaron Judge 
dials in. 

1639
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:09,160
Especially with Ben Rice behind 
him and if Stanton even he 

1640
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:10,960
doesn't need anybody to be hot 
behind him. 

1641
01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:15,080
But with more guys hitting well 
and Ben Rice, you know, 

1642
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:19,240
blossoming into blossoming into 
a star as I know he is, he's 

1643
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:21,840
going to be an All Star. 
He's going to be top 10 MVP. 

1644
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:25,080
Aaron Judge is going to 
absolutely crush it. 

1645
01:20:25,440 --> 01:20:30,440
Now, I don't know if you just 
never know about health, but I 

1646
01:20:30,440 --> 01:20:34,800
mean, if let me jot this down, 
let's say Aaron Judge plays. 

1647
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:38,040
I don't think this is overwhelm.
He's going to want to play every

1648
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:41,760
day if he can. 
Let's say he goes 150, probably 

1649
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:43,720
more in the high one 40s. 
I know Boone's going to get him 

1650
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:47,360
off his feet a little bit here, 
but let's just say, yeah, let me

1651
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,360
say 145. 
Now I'm going to stick with 

1652
01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:52,480
15150. 
A couple of DH is a couple of 

1653
01:20:52,480 --> 01:20:56,960
off days, right? 
So I would say that Aaron John, 

1654
01:20:56,960 --> 01:20:59,320
I don't know if he's going to 
hit 322 or 330. 

1655
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:01,520
I don't know if he's that guy 
necessary, even though he's been

1656
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:03,640
that guy the last two years, 
winning the batting championship

1657
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:09,680
a year ago and almost a Triple 
Crown the year before. 

1658
01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:12,320
I think the judge is going to 
hit. 

1659
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:16,440
I'm going to put him down for 
three O 5 little dipping 

1660
01:21:16,440 --> 01:21:18,920
average. 
I'm going to put judge down for 

1661
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:26,840
50 home runs, 47 to 50, which 
would represent a drop to be 

1662
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:28,840
fair. 
I'm going to put him down for 

1663
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:42,600
$1.15 on the on the low side to 
$1.20 plus RBI's, OPS 11:30. 

1664
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:45,480
I mean, something like that. 
It's going to be a beast going 

1665
01:21:45,480 --> 01:21:47,800
to win the MVP. 
Those are my thoughts on Aaron 

1666
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:48,920
Judge. 
He's the best player I've ever 

1667
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:50,280
seen. 
It really is. 

1668
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:53,360
You know, thoughts are, did they
call him up? 

1669
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:54,760
I didn't see that. 
Did they call him up? 

1670
01:21:55,440 --> 01:21:57,600
They called up Griffin. 
OK, thoughts on the Pirates 

1671
01:21:57,600 --> 01:21:59,760
calling up top prospect Conor 
Griffin? 

1672
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:04,160
There are I I do love and it's a
it's an interesting move. 

1673
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:06,920
And for those of you who are too
young to really remember this, 

1674
01:22:07,440 --> 01:22:11,960
the then Cleveland Indians, they
were really the first team to 

1675
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:15,520
call guys up and, and then when 
they when they got called up, 

1676
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:18,320
buy out the years of 
arbitration, pretty sure they 

1677
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:20,920
did it with by Erga and some of 
the young players I'm talking 

1678
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:23,560
about in the 90s, they were 
ahead of the curve and now it's 

1679
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:26,120
pretty common. 
You know, you see guys signing 

1680
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:29,760
eight years, $100 million deals 
and let you know CUNY was in 

1681
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:31,240
that neighborhood a couple of 
years ago, right? 

1682
01:22:31,480 --> 01:22:32,840
And others have done that as 
well. 

1683
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:36,680
And you know, it's it's very 
it's a tough call on not on the 

1684
01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:39,720
organization's side. 
It's a little bit of a tricky 

1685
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:42,560
call on the player's side. 
Like if you're one of these guys

1686
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:43,680
and I'm looking forward to 
seeing a play. 

1687
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:45,120
I did not I didn't even see if 
they call them up. 

1688
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:46,320
That's awesome. 
You get that down, Jay. 

1689
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:49,320
Thank you. 
My thoughts are, I think anytime

1690
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:51,960
there's an Uber prospect who 
comes up, I can't wait to see 

1691
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:53,560
him do his thing. 
Like when the when the D backs 

1692
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:56,840
called up Corbin Carroll years 
ago, yeah, we were hoping Volpe 

1693
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,920
was going to be the same thing. 
He's not, you know, Gunner 

1694
01:22:59,920 --> 01:23:02,640
Henderson, all these young, the 
wit couple of years ago. 

1695
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:04,040
I love it. 
It's just awesome. 

1696
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:07,920
McClain coming up for the Mets, 
you know, now, Rice didn't have 

1697
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:09,600
that profile, so I can't throw 
him out there. 

1698
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:12,360
He was just, you know, he was a 
guy they thought that they could

1699
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,000
hit what positions he got to 
play. 

1700
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:16,840
So Rice was not part of that. 
But you know, those younger, 

1701
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:21,080
younger players, Anthony, Red 
Sox, I think it's fantastic. 

1702
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:23,320
Now I'm trying to put myself in 
the shoes of one of those 

1703
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:25,880
players. 
Let's say I'm 21 years old, 

1704
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:31,400
maybe even 2020 to 21 and you 
know, I've got was it 6 years, 

1705
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:34,320
whatever that full 
controllability by the team 

1706
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:39,120
service time starts right? 
Would I, how willing would I be 

1707
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,320
to bet on myself? 
Like what I and it's a tough. 

1708
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:44,840
I think it depends what your 
family's situation is. 

1709
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:47,600
Now, if you're 20, you're 
probably not married or 21. 

1710
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:50,160
And if you are a little bit too 
early, then go out there and 

1711
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:53,400
enjoy life a little bit, figure 
things out, get married at 21. 

1712
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:56,080
Come on. 
It's one of my, my, my Guy J 

1713
01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:58,760
Rod's plotting this out. 
Well, he actually is. 

1714
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:01,440
But. 
But you are like, you know, 

1715
01:24:01,440 --> 01:24:05,000
you're not even thinking about 
how old are you again, 202323. 

1716
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:06,760
He's not even thinking about 
marriage. 

1717
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:09,640
He is immersed in his career. 
I did the same thing. 

1718
01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:12,360
So that that's on one end of the
special. 

1719
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:14,360
That's very good. 
I think you've got the right 

1720
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:17,440
approach, the right mindset. 
But yeah, you also got to have 

1721
01:24:17,440 --> 01:24:19,320
a. 
Little more urgency, I mean. 

1722
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:21,320
Not, not, not urgency to get 
married. 

1723
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:23,240
It's just urgency to go out 
there and see what's. 

1724
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:25,040
Going on Big Tom. 
Big Tom. 

1725
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:28,120
Early in the show, for those of 
you who are really new to the 

1726
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:31,760
show, I told J Rod, now I'm 
going to need documented 

1727
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:33,760
evidences, not just like, oh 
hey, BTI did this. 

1728
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:35,560
It's going to be like AAI photo,
yeah. 

1729
01:24:36,440 --> 01:24:39,440
Yeah, yeah, I'm going to need 
some sort of evidence here. 

1730
01:24:39,440 --> 01:24:41,240
And maybe not because I do. 
I think he's a great kid and I 

1731
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:42,240
do. 
I do trust him. 

1732
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:44,920
He's not going to bullshit me. 
So I don't even know what I know

1733
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:48,080
you're not, but I need 1/3 date.
I don't need a first date. 

1734
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:51,160
You swipe you meet up for a 
drink, whatever, and then a 

1735
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:52,720
second date because I need a 
third. 

1736
01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:55,600
We get to 3rd date, third date 
territory. 

1737
01:24:56,000 --> 01:25:02,160
I am going to set you up with a 
a nice dinner and boy, BT is 

1738
01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:04,960
going to pay for it. 
Maybe it'll it now if if you 

1739
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:07,360
tell me, hey, I really like this
one. 

1740
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:09,720
I might even pick a spot. 
Now it might have to be in New 

1741
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:12,600
Jersey, but I might pick a spot.
You're going to have to Uber in.

1742
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:14,440
I'll pay for the whole meal. 
You got the Uber right? 

1743
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:17,720
Uber in from from Brooklyn and I
might even have the chef come 

1744
01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:19,560
out and talk. 
To you I can. 

1745
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:21,920
Do that in a couple of spots. 
You've got that pole. 

1746
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:24,920
Oh yeah, at a couple, 100%. 
All right, then we might have 

1747
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:25,640
to. 
All right. 

1748
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:27,600
You know what I mean? 
I'm getting on that. 

1749
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:30,840
But to get to to date #3, you 
got to get to get to. 

1750
01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:34,000
Long. 
Every time I ask Jay Rod, so 

1751
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:35,120
like, hey, what are you doing 
this weekend? 

1752
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:36,560
What are you doing? 
It's and and I love that you 

1753
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:38,160
love your music. 
You got the guitar. 

1754
01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:40,040
We see that. 
Hey, I'm playing a I'm playing a

1755
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:43,320
show this weekend, so maybe 
we've got some good rupees. 

1756
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:46,000
Yeah, exactly. 
Maybe we've got some good energy

1757
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:47,480
coming all. 
Way you're playing the show 

1758
01:25:47,480 --> 01:25:50,640
we're we're in Brooklyn where. 
No, this Friday, Lower East 

1759
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:51,720
Side. 
You love the low. 

1760
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:54,320
Tomorrow, yeah. 
I mean, it's so close to 

1761
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:56,520
Bushwicks and a lot of my 
friends live there. 

1762
01:25:56,520 --> 01:26:01,000
So unleash fam pop out tomorrow,
Friday. 

1763
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:01,840
That's. 
Awesome dude. 

1764
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:03,840
Now are you? 
Are you rocking the guitar? 

1765
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:06,360
Are you singing? 
I'm playing bass, my boy 

1766
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:08,000
singing. 
He's another member of the 

1767
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:10,040
Unleashed family. 
Josh GABA. 

1768
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:11,720
What up, Josh? 
Okay. 

1769
01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:13,080
Yeah. 
Yeah, got out to Josh. 

1770
01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:15,880
So you're playing the bass? 
It's at a bar I assume. 

1771
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,480
Yeah, bar music venue kind of 
deal. 

1772
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:21,320
How many people are you the 
opening act or somebody? 

1773
01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:23,400
Over the middle. 
So there's three. 

1774
01:26:23,440 --> 01:26:26,000
We're like #2. 
Listen, that's good. 

1775
01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:30,680
Yeah, definitely the number 2 
hitter, how many people if it 

1776
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:34,200
maxes that, what's the capacity 
if it Max, probably. 100 

1777
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:39,640
hundred, yeah, 100, but my 
anticipation would be a range of

1778
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:43,120
probably like 70 to 100 people, 
which is pretty good. 

1779
01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:45,760
Yeah, I, I, I. 
Agree with that. 

1780
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:49,280
So 70 to 100, maybe a couple of 
groupies in there. 

1781
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:51,080
Oh. 
Big time. 

1782
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:54,240
I mean, listen, listen, my boy, 
we went to NYU. 

1783
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:56,240
So we we got some, we got some 
fans. 

1784
01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:58,080
Yeah, yeah. 
Remember we were talking about 

1785
01:26:58,080 --> 01:26:59,680
and I, I was going here. 
Jeez. 

1786
01:26:59,720 --> 01:27:04,320
Basically before you were born. 
Cafe Wah That Old Liquor St. and

1787
01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:05,880
the Rock'n'roll Cafe. 
Such a cool. 

1788
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:08,120
Spot and the Rock'n'roll Cafe. 
Wait. 

1789
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:10,400
What is that? 
I think they had. 

1790
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:11,640
Changed the name, but check it 
out. 

1791
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:13,760
Look this up. 
I used to actually go to the 

1792
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:16,280
Rock'n'roll Cafe more than I 
would go to Cafe Wah. 

1793
01:27:16,480 --> 01:27:19,680
OK Cafe Wah I believe was like 
kind of more on the corner and 

1794
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:22,320
Rock'n'roll Cafe was more in the
middle of the street. 

1795
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:25,400
But right next, because we'd 
walk back and forth and 

1796
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:29,080
Rock'n'roll Cafe was obviously 
by the name You Tell music, but.

1797
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:34,320
It's still there. 
I I'm not there was any Google 

1798
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:37,280
map location for it currently, 
yeah. 

1799
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:39,840
Dude, I remember and we kind of 
just stepped in shit. 

1800
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:41,240
We got lucky. 
We were coming back. 

1801
01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:43,680
God, this had to be 19. 
I think it was 98. 

1802
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:46,160
We were coming back from a Jets 
preseason game, right? 

1803
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:49,120
That's when I had season 
tickets. me and I think my buddy

1804
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:52,760
Robbo, my boy, another Rob and 
Spitz, maybe three or four of 

1805
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:54,840
us, I think, and we go to the 
Jet game. 

1806
01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:56,640
I think that's the car I was 
with that night. 

1807
01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:58,400
That's the car I was usually 
with for these games. 

1808
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:02,920
And we went to like right after 
the summer game, the first or 

1809
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:06,640
second preseason game, and we 
went to Bleecker after it and we

1810
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:08,520
walked in and there was a Pink 
Floyd cover band. 

1811
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:10,880
We didn't even, it's not that 
we're on our phones like Go 

1812
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:12,680
rock'n'roll cafes. 
We didn't know. 

1813
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:14,360
We were just going to have a 
couple drinks and hang out, 

1814
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:17,160
shoot some pool. 
And it was a good Pink Floyd 

1815
01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:17,960
cover band. 
It was. 

1816
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:19,320
That's awesome. 
I love that. 

1817
01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:21,400
I haven't done that area in a 
long time, but man, we had a lot

1818
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:23,360
of fun down there. 
So good luck man. 

1819
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:24,680
Yeah, great spot. 
Thank you. 

1820
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:27,160
Appreciate it. 
What do I think of Murakami? 

1821
01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:32,040
Murakami, baseball player? 
What are? 

1822
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:34,720
You talking about here? 
Yeah. 

1823
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:43,160
Muna Taka Murakami for the. 
Geez, my computer he plays. 

1824
01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:46,440
I mean, all I'm seeing is Japan.
No, I know Japan. 

1825
01:28:46,440 --> 01:28:49,120
I'm a giant White Sox player. 
The White Sox. 

1826
01:28:49,440 --> 01:28:51,120
He was the guy. 
Yeah. 

1827
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:52,400
I haven't seen him play yet this
year. 

1828
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:55,720
I remember I was surprised when 
the White Sox got him. 

1829
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:58,360
He was thought he played first 
or DH in I. 

1830
01:28:58,480 --> 01:29:01,080
I know he's a corner guy. 
See. 

1831
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:03,760
Professional in the field there?
What kind of store? 

1832
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:05,640
What are his numbers? 
That's a good question I've not 

1833
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:06,600
seen. 
White Here we go. 

1834
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:09,240
I know that the Borlins played 
the White Sox early. 

1835
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:11,400
I haven't seen the White Sox 
yet. 

1836
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,360
What's? 
He's batting 238. 

1837
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:16,920
Three home runs, 4 ribbies, five
hits. 

1838
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:19,280
He's got 3 already. 
Interesting. 

1839
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:22,160
That's pretty impressive, yeah. 
There, now there were a couple 

1840
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:24,280
of Japanese players. 
I know the Giants obviously have

1841
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:26,440
an outfielder and there's a lot 
of great Japanese players. 

1842
01:29:26,440 --> 01:29:28,960
My God. 
But I remember when the Murakami

1843
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:32,000
maybe sweepstakes a little bit 
strong, but when the White Sox 

1844
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:33,680
got him, I was definitely 
surprised. 

1845
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:37,400
And was it him or the other one 
where there was a real knock on 

1846
01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:42,240
his contact rate was not very 
high and a lot of people there's

1847
01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:43,360
a. 
Comment about that. 

1848
01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:47,480
Yeah, I think he. 
Had like a 33 high with rate. 

1849
01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:50,600
Yank stayed away. 
Dudes banging bombs in Shy town 

1850
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:52,920
early. 
He's also hitting 2/25, 2:30 and

1851
01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:56,360
it's early, but the yeah, I 
remember that was the knock on 

1852
01:29:56,360 --> 01:29:58,040
him. 
I do remember that knock where 

1853
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:00,040
they didn't know how he was 
defensive, although actually he 

1854
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:04,000
might be a good defensive. 
There's like the more and more 

1855
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:05,760
there's like, I'm not going to 
front man. 

1856
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:09,320
I mean, I, I hear what you hear 
about these Japanese players. 

1857
01:30:09,320 --> 01:30:15,040
I will do like when Yamamoto and
obviously Matsui and and others 

1858
01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:17,760
along the way, like when it's 
thought to be like the Otani, 

1859
01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:20,600
like you dig in, you get some 
YouTube footage, you try to find

1860
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:23,960
some scouting reports. 
And I remember following 

1861
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:27,640
Murakami because I'm like, yeah,
maybe the Yankees should make a 

1862
01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:28,680
fly. 
I remember for saying that a 

1863
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:30,840
little bit. 
But the like they were saying 

1864
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:34,280
that he struck out an inordinate
amount of times in Japan and the

1865
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:36,800
pitching is a little obviously 
less than here. 

1866
01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:38,840
So I I guess that was a 
deterrent. 

1867
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:40,440
I thought he was a good 
defensive player, though. 

1868
01:30:40,440 --> 01:30:43,360
I thought that was part of the 
rotate of the the the thing 

1869
01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:44,800
about as well, we just we did 
this already. 

1870
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:45,360
We're not doing it. 
We. 

1871
01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:46,840
Already did that. 
Oh wait, wrong one. 

1872
01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:47,720
Wrong. 
Yeah, how many times you gonna 

1873
01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:50,040
answer logistics? 
Come on, What are we doing? 

1874
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:53,200
Jane? 
If you're Mendy, what do you say

1875
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:55,000
to Lindor? 
I say get your head out of your 

1876
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:56,680
ass, is what I say. 
It's what I say to him. 

1877
01:30:56,840 --> 01:30:59,120
Wake up. 
What are you doing now? 

1878
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:01,600
I can't get on him for getting 
thrown out at home plate over 

1879
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:04,240
the weekend against the Pirates 
because they sent them now. 

1880
01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:06,800
Well, maybe you could get on 
him, because even Lindor did say

1881
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:08,120
that. 
He took a bit of an extraneous 

1882
01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:10,240
route. 
You know, couple of extra steps,

1883
01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:11,960
a little wide turn. 
It's a bang, bang play. 

1884
01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:13,720
Pretty much. 
You're out by a step. 

1885
01:31:13,720 --> 01:31:16,280
You take a better route, more 
direct, you're probably safe. 

1886
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:19,080
So maybe that's from a baseball 
point of view. 

1887
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:22,960
But it wasn't a lack of hustle, 
it wasn't a lack of engagement. 

1888
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:26,800
It was just a lack of execution,
which is different than what 

1889
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:30,160
happened yesterday. 
You know, you shouldn't have to 

1890
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:34,880
say anything, but I do believe 
that that what happened 

1891
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:39,680
yesterday requires coming to my 
office. 

1892
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:44,000
And I think the way Mendoza 
handled it in the media was the 

1893
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:47,040
right way, But I think you got 
to be a little bit of a red ass 

1894
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:49,960
when nobody's listening. 
Like even if you kind of joke 

1895
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:51,960
around, like, dude, what the 
fuck you doing? 

1896
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:53,720
How do you not know how many 
outs there are? 

1897
01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:55,920
Come on, man. 
You know, we we need more. 

1898
01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:59,520
We need more. 
So that is a real problem. 

1899
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:02,960
Like he and and we know we 
always starts off slow. 

1900
01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:04,800
And I talked about this at the 
start of the show. 

1901
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:06,480
If you guys missed it, obviously
hit rewind. 

1902
01:32:06,480 --> 01:32:09,760
You do what you got to do catch 
up, but I'm not even getting on 

1903
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:11,480
that like he's going to hit 
provided his hands. 

1904
01:32:11,480 --> 01:32:13,240
OK, eventually the numbers will 
be there. 

1905
01:32:13,240 --> 01:32:15,560
But then he's taking off his 
oven mitted first base. 

1906
01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:18,320
He gets picked off and it didn't
even didn't even retreat back to

1907
01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:20,680
first base. 
He was out by so much. 

1908
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:22,480
He did. 
He couldn't even retreat back to

1909
01:32:22,480 --> 01:32:24,440
the bag. 
The first baseman had to move to

1910
01:32:24,440 --> 01:32:27,640
him and tag him. 
So one thing in space, they're 

1911
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:30,280
not paid attention. 
And that happened to Jazz as 

1912
01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:32,400
well. 
I can't stand that just I mean, 

1913
01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:35,880
that's the basic process. 
Come on, you get on the base, 

1914
01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:38,480
get your MIT ready, wrap it up. 
You do it all the time. 

1915
01:32:38,480 --> 01:32:40,720
It's simple. 
You know, the Velcro's broken in

1916
01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:42,000
at this point. 
What's the problem? 

1917
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:45,160
And then not knowing how many 
outs is just utterly that's even

1918
01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:48,280
worse than with the oven MIT 
because I was saying, you know, 

1919
01:32:48,280 --> 01:32:51,160
there's this amazing invention. 
It's called the scoreboard. 

1920
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:54,400
And they're pretty modern and 
the the high resolution like 

1921
01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:56,440
they're pretty good and they're 
pretty big. 

1922
01:32:56,680 --> 01:32:59,600
Look behind you as the umpire. 
There's a bunch of them. 

1923
01:32:59,840 --> 01:33:01,160
Find out how many outs there 
are. 

1924
01:33:01,520 --> 01:33:05,920
So, you know, I do think, and I 
started the show really with 

1925
01:33:05,920 --> 01:33:08,920
Mendoza because I think this is 
more a Mendi thing. 

1926
01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:12,360
Like think about this guys. 
If you're an aggressive team and

1927
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:14,640
you're a buttoned up 
fundamental, fundamental team, 

1928
01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:16,960
you know, and you generally do 
the things the right way. 

1929
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:20,000
Like you hit the cut off man, 
you run the bases hard, you run 

1930
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:22,960
the bases with aptitude, you 
take the extra base. 

1931
01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:24,880
You know, you have a good two 
strike approach. 

1932
01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:27,400
You put the ball in play. 
You know, I mean, obviously the 

1933
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:29,480
Major League level, you're going
to back up a base where you're 

1934
01:33:29,480 --> 01:33:31,800
supposed to back up. 
But we've seen pictures on 

1935
01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:33,720
occasion. 
You know what if there's going 

1936
01:33:33,720 --> 01:33:35,600
to be a play at third base where
they're still standing on the 

1937
01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:39,120
mound and they're like, and you 
hear, you know, Keith or Coney 

1938
01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:41,880
or whomever, whatever game you 
watching and you got to back up 

1939
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:43,360
third, what are you doing? 
That's a no, no. 

1940
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:46,640
Or a pitcher failing like Eric 
Cole in the World Series, 

1941
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:49,000
failing to recognize covering 
first base. 

1942
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:51,400
Like that's a reflection of the 
manager. 

1943
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:53,840
You know, it just is, even if 
it's unfair. 

1944
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:58,240
It's a narrative that grows and 
grows and grows, and last year 

1945
01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:02,400
the Mets were not clutch. 
This year they were. 

1946
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:04,800
They're they're horrendous with 
runners in scoring position. 

1947
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:06,880
Nobody's really hitting but Soto
for them. 

1948
01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:09,360
But Beatty looks OK. 
And who am I? 

1949
01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:11,920
Who else am I missing? 
I do like Benj and so other guys

1950
01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:15,280
will hit like Michette, but they
just look and you know when you 

1951
01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:18,080
don't hit and you don't know how
many outs there are and you get 

1952
01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:21,800
picked off the bases and you 
catcher is, you know, loafing 

1953
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:23,520
after a ball. 
Then you got a guy on first base

1954
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:25,840
because you block it to keep the
guy at 3rd and 3rd, but you 

1955
01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:28,000
don't do the other part of your 
job by keeping the guy 1st at 

1956
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:29,320
first. 
But what are you doing? 

1957
01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:34,400
You know, to me, it's just too 
it's too much like last year. 

1958
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:38,600
So it's early. 
This is not a massive 5 alarm 

1959
01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:41,200
siren. 
Here comes the bomb. 

1960
01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:46,040
I'm not saying that, but it's 
never too early to play the 

1961
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:49,240
right way and it's never too 
early to change the narrative 

1962
01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:52,560
about your team and a lot of 
thing about this guy's, the guys

1963
01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:55,080
at the Mets, and we'll prove 
what we'll see if it was there. 

1964
01:34:55,080 --> 01:34:57,400
I think I think that they did 
the right thing by doing what 

1965
01:34:57,400 --> 01:35:00,280
they did, but it's got to prove 
it and play itself out and I 

1966
01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:03,080
think it will. 
But they've gotten rid of 

1967
01:35:03,080 --> 01:35:06,640
players that they thought either
took away from the culture or 

1968
01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:08,000
maybe didn't enhance the 
culture. 

1969
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:10,240
It's a personality conflict. 
Some people think it was 

1970
01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:14,520
politics with Nemo and Alonzo. 
I don't know, like that's I'm 

1971
01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:16,640
not going to Co sign that 
because I can't prove it. 

1972
01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:20,640
And that is, you know, that's 
that's a water that I'm not 

1973
01:35:20,640 --> 01:35:23,920
willing to step into because I 
think that that's that could be 

1974
01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:26,160
unfair. 
And if it's inaccurate, it's 

1975
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:28,400
unnecessarily divisive. 
And I'm not trying to start 

1976
01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:30,800
trouble here. 
But the 2025 Mets weren't 

1977
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:32,040
buttoned up. 
We all know that. 

1978
01:35:32,280 --> 01:35:33,680
Well, now you got rid of a bunch
of guys. 

1979
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:37,640
You brought new guys in and the 
2026 Mets are not buttoned up. 

1980
01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:40,920
So I know Bichette's not 
hitting, but I'm looking at the 

1981
01:35:40,920 --> 01:35:42,760
manager. 
It's your team. 

1982
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:49,000
Figure it out, Figure it out. 
Because I promise you one thing 

1983
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:52,200
that Cohen's not going to 
tolerate is a bloated payroll 

1984
01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:58,160
and uninspired, disengaged play.
I do think, because I said this 

1985
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:05,720
yesterday last year, I do think 
that if the Mets are really 

1986
01:36:05,720 --> 01:36:11,240
scuffling, and when I say 
scuffling, which I do not think 

1987
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:12,760
that they will get to this 
point, I think they've got too 

1988
01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:19,000
much talent. 
But if 11 and 1913 and 21, you 

1989
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:21,400
know, now you're into the second
month and you're not winning, 

1990
01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:25,400
and especially if you're sloppy,
I can promise you that Mendoza 

1991
01:36:25,400 --> 01:36:28,240
is going to be on the hot seat. 
And he should be because he's 

1992
01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:30,600
got to prove it. 
Because last year he stunk. 

1993
01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:32,800
I don't care who defends 
Mendoza. 

1994
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:34,720
He did not have a good year last
year. 

1995
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:38,560
And I said it last year. 
He's got to change the tone. 

1996
01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:41,000
He's got to change the way the 
Mets are viewed. 

1997
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:43,640
That's all I'm saying. 
I hope he does. 

1998
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:44,560
So. 
I like them. 

1999
01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:48,000
What do we got here? 
What? 

2000
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:52,200
Get the fuck? 
J Rod. 

2001
01:36:53,080 --> 01:36:54,160
Can you check? 
Can you? 

2002
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:55,040
Can you? 
It's true. 

2003
01:36:57,360 --> 01:36:59,600
It's true. 
What? 

2004
01:37:00,520 --> 01:37:04,360
Wait a second, hold on, They 
just Kirk Cousins? 

2005
01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:08,280
Kirk Cousins has agreed to a 
contract with the Raiders. 

2006
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:10,080
I think. 
I mean, it came out two hours 

2007
01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:11,080
ago I believe. 
Wait, wait. 

2008
01:37:11,080 --> 01:37:15,120
What were the terms though? 
Because it said five years, 172 

2009
01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:17,000
what? 
Right, let's see. 

2010
01:37:17,120 --> 01:37:20,800
There's no chance in hell that 
that is right. 

2011
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:27,800
That just said five years, 172. 
If you told me one year at 

2012
01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:34,440
25,000,000, I'd be like, huh? 
Wait, let's see, it's. 

2013
01:37:34,720 --> 01:37:37,400
I don't know why this isn't. 
Now you'll as you look at this 

2014
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:39,360
all good, just just find me the 
right answer when you can 

2015
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:40,800
please. 
I want to make sure before I 

2016
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:44,160
start going off on this and 
opening up a possible different 

2017
01:37:44,160 --> 01:37:46,680
discussion that could impact The
Jets this this is no way that 

2018
01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:52,680
that's true on on no planet does
that make any sense. 

2019
01:37:53,560 --> 01:37:57,720
Even if you don't want Mendoza 
to play right away, five years 

2020
01:37:58,040 --> 01:38:00,720
and I understand that the money 
is in the NFL is fungible. 

2021
01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:03,680
You can do whatever you want. 
It's teams. 

2022
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:08,160
You see this all the time. 
So and so is $13 million. 

2023
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:12,520
Kirk Cousins will sign a five 
year, $172,000,000 deal with the

2024
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:15,120
Raiders. 
That in reality is that in 

2025
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:19,960
reality is a one year fully 
guaranteed $20 million deal that

2026
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:24,440
also contains a club option for 
two years at $80 million. 

2027
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:27,720
OK, this is this is one of the 
only reasons why I absolutely 

2028
01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:32,880
detest and hate the NFL. 
So it comes out, hey, five years

2029
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:36,480
172 million, wow, Congrats. 
What a great contract, but it's 

2030
01:38:36,480 --> 01:38:39,080
not really five years 172. 
And that's what I started to say

2031
01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:41,800
about the fungibility. 
How's that for a word? 

2032
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:44,280
Fungibility got to work that 
soft G in there. 

2033
01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:48,120
The fungibility of of NFL money.
So nonsense. 

2034
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:53,560
So it's a five year 172. 
But in reality, it's a it's 

2035
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:57,000
disguised, it's disguised as 
that, but it's a one year, $20 

2036
01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:59,960
million deal, which is much more
sensible then. 

2037
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:01,480
And even that. 
I think 20 is a bit much for 

2038
01:39:01,480 --> 01:39:02,760
him. 
I I think he stinks at this 

2039
01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:04,400
point, But whatever you can get 
behind it. 

2040
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:05,800
You're going to draft and those 
are fine. 

2041
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:10,200
And then, but then there's also 
a team option Raiders possibly 

2042
01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:12,800
for year 2. 
And, and I understand guys, you 

2043
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:14,200
don't have to you don't have to 
chat me up here. 

2044
01:39:14,200 --> 01:39:16,880
I know why they would do this. 
They're finding a way to take 

2045
01:39:16,880 --> 01:39:19,920
the money and stretch it out. 
Whatever prorated signing 

2046
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:23,120
bonuses, the is what the salary 
cap is crazy. 

2047
01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:26,040
And what I started to say before
J Rod gave me the confirmation 

2048
01:39:26,040 --> 01:39:28,720
of the terms, confirmation of 
the terms. 

2049
01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:33,040
You know, there are teams and 
we've got two or three from this

2050
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:36,240
year. 
They entered the offseason 13 or

2051
01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:39,080
14 or 12 and some were I think 
one or two even more. 

2052
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:42,840
The Browns like their salary 
caps a disaster, you know, like 

2053
01:39:42,920 --> 01:39:46,640
1318, twenty, $25 million over 
the salary cap. 

2054
01:39:46,640 --> 01:39:50,240
And then what? 
Just get out the old magic wand,

2055
01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:52,320
boom, boom, boom, make that 
disappear. 

2056
01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:55,960
We now can do whatever we want. 
We have restructured 9 deals. 

2057
01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:58,600
We have cut this guy. 
We have done that. 

2058
01:39:58,600 --> 01:40:03,080
And suddenly we are now $37 
million under the salary cap. 

2059
01:40:05,200 --> 01:40:08,160
It's just, it's a real, you 
know, man, it's just a real 

2060
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:12,120
disservice to fans. 
Here's here's an idea, NFL, you 

2061
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:14,200
idiots. 
Here's an here's an idea. 

2062
01:40:14,680 --> 01:40:17,320
So we've got the salary cap, 
which I know ballooned again, 

2063
01:40:17,320 --> 01:40:19,400
always does, because the NFL 
just prints money. 

2064
01:40:19,680 --> 01:40:23,480
Let's just say, well, J Rod, 
give me the actual, what is it, 

2065
01:40:23,480 --> 01:40:25,280
320? 
Does that sound right? 

2066
01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:27,960
Now, What's the NFL salary cap 
projected? 

2067
01:40:28,600 --> 01:40:31,560
For this year. 
Let's see NFL salary cap. 

2068
01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:34,080
I know it goes up every year by 
1520. 

2069
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:41,480
Three let's see, the NFL salary 
cap 2026 is set at three O 1.2 

2070
01:40:41,480 --> 01:40:42,520
million. 
Thank you. 

2071
01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:45,640
OK. 
But it's, you know, set to 

2072
01:40:45,760 --> 01:40:49,680
increase to 327 and then 352. 
OK, so I was right. 

2073
01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:51,680
I said yeah, 25. 
OK, all right, there you go. 

2074
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:56,480
So let's take let's take 330. 
The NFL salary cap is $330 

2075
01:40:56,480 --> 01:41:01,400
million. 
Why can't we just do this? 

2076
01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:05,280
OK, your quarterback is making 
30 million. 

2077
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:07,560
I'm just throwing out hard, you 
know, easy numbers to work with.

2078
01:41:07,880 --> 01:41:13,880
30 million dollars. 330 -. 30 is
now 300, which means you now 

2079
01:41:13,880 --> 01:41:17,640
have $300 million to spend on 
your team. 

2080
01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:23,840
Like, isn't that a salary cap? 
All the nonsensical gibberish 

2081
01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:27,920
like, oh, this guy gets a roster
bonus up. 

2082
01:41:27,960 --> 01:41:32,360
If this guy shows up to work 
out, he gets a $1.7 million 

2083
01:41:32,360 --> 01:41:35,240
workout bonus. 
Yo, it's your job to work out. 

2084
01:41:35,520 --> 01:41:38,920
You're a football player. 
I work out, not as much as I 

2085
01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:42,120
used to trying to hang on, but I
work out two or three times a 

2086
01:41:42,120 --> 01:41:43,560
week. 
Nobody's giving me shit, 

2087
01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:46,640
Nobody's paying me anything. 
And I'm not going to, you know, 

2088
01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:50,360
I'm not trying to go and tackle 
somebody who runs a 4340 who 

2089
01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:53,400
weighs 240 lbs. 
You bet your ass you better be 

2090
01:41:53,400 --> 01:41:55,440
working out. 
I don't. 

2091
01:41:55,680 --> 01:41:58,760
I don't, I don't, I don't know. 
I don't, I don't pretend to 

2092
01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:00,520
know. 
I think I'm pretty smart with a 

2093
01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:03,000
lot of things. 
And I know that there's an easy 

2094
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:07,320
answer as to why it's not as 
literal as $330 million salary 

2095
01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:09,120
cap. 
Quarterback one makes 30 

2096
01:42:09,120 --> 01:42:11,120
million. 
You've now got $30 million for 

2097
01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:14,440
everybody else. 
I know it's not that simple, but

2098
01:42:14,440 --> 01:42:16,960
do they need to complicate it 
the way that they do? 

2099
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:22,160
We all know the answer is no. 
Come on well, I'm going to do 

2100
01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:23,480
this more tomorrow, but I will 
read it. 

2101
01:42:23,480 --> 01:42:26,000
Brad Kaufman, 3582. 
Who do you got this weekend of 

2102
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:27,480
the final four? 
Who do you got winning at all? 

2103
01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:31,600
You know what I got? 
I I've got a lack of desire, 

2104
01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:35,320
quite frankly, to even watch. 
I mean, that's what I. 

2105
01:42:35,320 --> 01:42:36,960
Got I can imagine that's what I 
oh. 

2106
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:40,280
That's what I got. 
That's what I got because what I

2107
01:42:40,280 --> 01:42:43,560
also got was one of these shirts
for everybody in the fam. 

2108
01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:45,960
Nice. 
You know, I haven't even worn 

2109
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:48,240
mine yet, you know, See that 
right there is it? 

2110
01:42:48,360 --> 01:42:49,560
Did you see it on the screen, 
Jake? 

2111
01:42:49,760 --> 01:42:52,800
Yeah, that's sick. 
All right, so I got I got one 

2112
01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:56,320
for my myself, obviously, one 
for my wife, one for my son, one

2113
01:42:56,320 --> 01:42:59,760
for my daughter. 
And if they made the Elite 8, if

2114
01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:01,480
they would have won that Duke 
game, I was going to get some 

2115
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:03,080
more gear. 
The more they won, the more I 

2116
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:06,120
was spending. 
And yeah, I would be in 

2117
01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:09,960
Indianapolis right now, so 
probably be a shoot around, open

2118
01:43:09,960 --> 01:43:12,240
shoot around, whatever. 
I, I know, dude. 

2119
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:15,400
Oh, I, I almost, and I really 
don't subscribe to this too 

2120
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:18,720
much. 
I really think on some level I 

2121
01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:21,160
would have preferred remember 
they, I know you watch most 

2122
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:23,760
remember when St. 
John's fell behind 11/4, they 

2123
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:26,760
fell behind by 7 points early 
and then they rallied like Zubi 

2124
01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:28,840
hit the three and they got their
act together and they took the 

2125
01:43:28,840 --> 01:43:30,280
lead. 
They were up by 10:15 minutes 

2126
01:43:30,280 --> 01:43:33,200
ago. 
I think that having called that 

2127
01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:35,440
game and having been a St. 
John's fan my entire life, 

2128
01:43:35,440 --> 01:43:37,680
right? 
And having called the games for 

2129
01:43:37,680 --> 01:43:40,920
20 plus years, being involved 
with the program, it would have 

2130
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:44,920
been easier if they would have 
been down 17 to 5, never 

2131
01:43:44,920 --> 01:43:47,000
recovered because then yeah. 
And I know that that's. 

2132
01:43:47,040 --> 01:43:49,560
And I really don't think that 
way with anything because it's 

2133
01:43:49,560 --> 01:43:52,240
kind of a loser mentality. 
It's a defeatist attitude. 

2134
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:56,880
But just based on the emote, 
like the emptiness, I know what 

2135
01:43:56,880 --> 01:43:58,280
I felt like. 
Imagine what the poor players 

2136
01:43:58,280 --> 01:44:00,040
felt and. 
And Coach Pitino and staff and 

2137
01:44:00,440 --> 01:44:02,800
you know, Father Shanley and 
everybody, Eddie Cole, the AD 

2138
01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:04,720
God, I was crushed. 
They must have been 

2139
01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:05,920
inconsolable. 
And they works. 

2140
01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:07,160
I was in the locker room after 
it. 

2141
01:44:07,560 --> 01:44:10,560
But at least as I'm doing the 
game with Mink, you know, I'm 

2142
01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:13,320
not working myself up in a 
frenzy in real time, you know, 

2143
01:44:13,480 --> 01:44:16,440
calling the game in front of me 
and, and, and the other part of 

2144
01:44:16,440 --> 01:44:18,200
my brain thinking, holy shit, 
St. 

2145
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:19,400
John's going through the Elite 
18. 

2146
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:22,720
We're playing, we're playing 
UConn or Michigan State in a 

2147
01:44:22,720 --> 01:44:26,360
couple days. 
So, oh, man, I've got my picks. 

2148
01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:29,840
I will divulge them tomorrow. 
I'm not going to do it now, but 

2149
01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:33,840
I will regenerate much like I do
with the unkillable stuff with 

2150
01:44:33,840 --> 01:44:36,040
The Jets. 
I always find a way to want to 

2151
01:44:36,120 --> 01:44:38,800
to regenerate and I will. 
I will dig in. 

2152
01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:40,920
I will also traveling. 
I'm in the air a little bit on 

2153
01:44:40,920 --> 01:44:45,080
on Saturday, but but I will 
hopefully, hopefully my wife got

2154
01:44:45,920 --> 01:44:49,200
airlines with with TV's. 
I think she did never know. 

2155
01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:52,040
Hopefully we can get out with 
this TSA nonsense. 

2156
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:54,400
Oh yeah dude, good luck. 
You're gonna have to get to the 

2157
01:44:54,400 --> 01:44:59,080
airport like 6 hours early. 
Not legit, not legit, not legit.

2158
01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:01,040
No way. 
No, I can't stand it. 

2159
01:45:01,200 --> 01:45:04,280
But I've heard, yeah, I've heard
some tough stuff. 

2160
01:45:04,280 --> 01:45:05,880
No. 
No, I mean, I've seen the the 

2161
01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:07,440
the news, the video, yeah. 
Good luck. 

2162
01:45:07,880 --> 01:45:09,680
Well, now, like think about 
this. 

2163
01:45:09,680 --> 01:45:12,560
If we and I, I really do enjoy 
going to Dallas, we've done it 

2164
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:16,440
pretty much every Easter except 
one or two since the kids were 

2165
01:45:16,440 --> 01:45:18,920
born. 
Get out, spend some time good 

2166
01:45:18,920 --> 01:45:22,640
some good time with Grammy and 
PP's got a great tradition. 

2167
01:45:22,640 --> 01:45:25,400
Of course he helps out the 
Easter Bunny with this where 

2168
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:30,160
where Papa writes out clues and 
like poems and like the kids 

2169
01:45:30,160 --> 01:45:32,000
literally go through a hunt and 
like. 

2170
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:33,800
One we used to do the same. 
Thing. 

2171
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:35,120
Oh, you did. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

2172
01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:37,520
He's such a great writer. 
My my father-in-law too 

2173
01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:39,560
phenomenal where the kids will 
go to like. 

2174
01:45:39,560 --> 01:45:41,880
And again, he he's does he does 
this in concert with the Easter 

2175
01:45:41,880 --> 01:45:43,480
Bunny. 
Easter Bunny allows him. 

2176
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:47,640
It's like his first Lieutenant. 
So he like the kids will go to 

2177
01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:50,920
like 1 can't like one plastic 
egg and there's like a like a 

2178
01:45:50,920 --> 01:45:53,840
poem and a clue to go to the 
next one and then just go into 

2179
01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:55,000
the yard and run around the 
house. 

2180
01:45:55,240 --> 01:45:58,280
And then eventually, provided 
the Easter Bunny does his job, 

2181
01:45:58,600 --> 01:46:01,160
there's this one big massive 
basket waiting for him. 

2182
01:46:01,320 --> 01:46:04,240
So we love it and he's a great 
cook and we have a great meal. 

2183
01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:08,080
But like, if there was a six 
hour delay, as great as that is,

2184
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:10,680
I'd be going home. 
As I say, I'm making AU turn. 

2185
01:46:10,680 --> 01:46:12,920
I ain't going now. 
I got to go because I'm throwing

2186
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:13,880
out. 
The first pair. 

2187
01:46:13,880 --> 01:46:16,920
What this, He said. 
Listen, Rainer, this guy might 

2188
01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:19,880
have to take a bus. 
Oh jeez. 

2189
01:46:20,240 --> 01:46:23,360
First pitch now do you think can
you get the graphic up there in 

2190
01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:26,160
case you guys missed it? 
Big news, BT unleashed Gold 

2191
01:46:26,160 --> 01:46:28,000
National here. 
I'm throwing out the first pitch

2192
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:31,560
for the Texas Rangers. 
I've got a is the game 

2193
01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:34,160
televised? 
I mean, obviously it's televised

2194
01:46:34,160 --> 01:46:38,160
National 1920 and we're. 
Calling it we've got Brandon 

2195
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:40,280
Tierney. 
Good evening, good afternoon 

2196
01:46:40,280 --> 01:46:42,800
everybody on this Easter Sunday 
and welcome as you have your 

2197
01:46:42,800 --> 01:46:46,320
Sunday best going to church, 
welcoming the you know, the the 

2198
01:46:46,400 --> 01:46:49,920
Cincinnati Red stockings here to
the Texas, the great state of 

2199
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:55,040
Texas as your Rangers take on 
the the Reds and BT unleashed. 

2200
01:46:55,440 --> 01:46:58,920
So yeah, like how can I, how can
I catch this on Sunday is my 

2201
01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:01,040
question. 
Well, here's the thing, if I 

2202
01:47:01,040 --> 01:47:03,120
throw a bad one, you won't have 
to look hard because it's going 

2203
01:47:03,120 --> 01:47:04,920
to be all over social media. 
There you go. 

2204
01:47:05,640 --> 01:47:09,920
The good news is I, I, I will 
never be that bad where it's 

2205
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:12,840
going to find you that quick. 
I could promise you that. 

2206
01:47:13,280 --> 01:47:16,040
Do I try to throw a little extra
gas and get a little oversert? 

2207
01:47:16,040 --> 01:47:19,640
Because again, when I did this 
in 2011, my arm wasn't in great 

2208
01:47:19,640 --> 01:47:21,400
shape. 
And I've always said like the 

2209
01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:25,520
one thing that I did have, and I
save this humbly as a college 

2210
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:28,200
player, like I always had like, 
and I've been to, you know, 

2211
01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:31,640
workouts with with pro teams, 
whatever, run into 60. 

2212
01:47:31,640 --> 01:47:33,440
Good God, they're like, God, get
this guy out of here. 

2213
01:47:33,440 --> 01:47:36,840
But in terms of throwing the 
baseball, I grade it out like I 

2214
01:47:36,880 --> 01:47:39,200
I had a very favorable. 
I had a Major League arm. 

2215
01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:40,520
I did. 
Yeah, I know I'm going to get 

2216
01:47:40,520 --> 01:47:42,080
clowned for saying that, but I 
had a rock. 

2217
01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:44,200
I love it like I'm. 
Humble with a lot of stuff, but 

2218
01:47:44,200 --> 01:47:46,800
I'm not going to. 
I'm not like I have a good arm 

2219
01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:48,800
and I still do. 
But when I threw out the ace 

2220
01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:50,960
pitch, I wasn't throwing because
I didn't have kids yet. 

2221
01:47:51,200 --> 01:47:53,640
So I had stopped playing, you 
know, in the mid 90s CDs. 

2222
01:47:53,640 --> 01:47:56,760
Now it's 2011, I'm playing golf.
Whatever I'm doing now, I'm on 

2223
01:47:56,760 --> 01:47:58,960
the field throwing all the time.
So the arm is juiced up. 

2224
01:47:59,200 --> 01:48:02,200
It's just a matter of am IA 
little too overzealous. 

2225
01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:05,680
Or to be fair, even though I'm, 
you know, I'm pretty confident. 

2226
01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:07,000
I like a crowd and all that 
stuff. 

2227
01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:10,680
There's no telling what happens 
to my body when I got 40,000 

2228
01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:12,560
people staring at me. 
I'm walking out to the mount. 

2229
01:48:12,880 --> 01:48:14,000
I got to be honest with you, 
Jay. 

2230
01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:17,680
I mean, it, it's a, it's a lot 
of eyes, it's a lot of eyes, a 

2231
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:20,920
lot of pressure, but I wouldn't 
say it's a lot of pressure. 

2232
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:22,760
No, it is. 
It's you, don't you don't think?

2233
01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:26,320
It's pressure, I think. 
I think it's pressure only in 

2234
01:48:26,320 --> 01:48:27,840
the set. 
Like it's not like you got like 

2235
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:31,800
the playoffs riding on you, but 
there's pressure on similar to 

2236
01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:33,720
like how to how we describe 
golf. 

2237
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:38,800
There's pressure on you, on you 
to show up for yourself and and 

2238
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:42,840
to satisfy your baseball. 
You know, whatever it is, I'm 

2239
01:48:42,880 --> 01:48:46,080
sure this is a dream for many 
people who have have played 

2240
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:48,680
baseball when they're younger. 
Pretty much anyone, you know, Oh

2241
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:52,880
God, you know, throwing out the 
first pitch at A at a MLB game. 

2242
01:48:52,960 --> 01:48:55,480
It's a great stadium, too. 
Yeah, it's a great. 

2243
01:48:55,480 --> 01:48:59,840
I had not been to a game there. 
I, I got a tour of the stadium 

2244
01:48:59,840 --> 01:49:02,400
with my family. 
My, my wife and my, my kids have

2245
01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:04,840
been to a game. 
I think it was, you know, it may

2246
01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:07,400
have been last Easter, as a 
matter of fact, where I go out 

2247
01:49:07,400 --> 01:49:09,080
for a couple days and then I 
would come back. 

2248
01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:11,000
And I don't want to miss too 
many shows when I was on The 

2249
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:13,680
Fan. 
And I will not do a show Monday.

2250
01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:16,520
I'll, I'll give you some 
content, but I'm flying back a 

2251
01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:18,400
little bit early. 
So I'll be back on the air doing

2252
01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:19,800
this on Tuesday and Wednesday 
and so on. 

2253
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:22,560
And obviously right into the 
week, they'll lay back a couple 

2254
01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:23,960
days, spend some time with 
family. 

2255
01:49:23,960 --> 01:49:29,520
But the, you know, I, I, I, I 
think, I think that the only 

2256
01:49:29,520 --> 01:49:33,360
thing that could get in my way 
is me is my mind. 

2257
01:49:33,440 --> 01:49:34,400
Yeah. 
Is the arms. 

2258
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:37,800
The arms in good shape and 
that's a long walk, though. 

2259
01:49:38,120 --> 01:49:41,040
I'm sure I'm going to be coming 
from the dugout and, and, and, 

2260
01:49:41,360 --> 01:49:43,080
and, but I am looking forward to
seeing the games. 

2261
01:49:43,080 --> 01:49:45,800
I started to say like they've 
been to games there and it's a 

2262
01:49:45,800 --> 01:49:47,800
great ballpark. 
It's right next to where the 

2263
01:49:47,800 --> 01:49:49,200
Cowboys play. 
It's beautiful. 

2264
01:49:49,480 --> 01:49:53,640
And I was at the old Ranger 
Stadium, the ballpark in 

2265
01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:55,240
Arlington. 
I was at that. 

2266
01:49:55,840 --> 01:49:58,000
My wife and I were dating funny.
I got funny. 

2267
01:49:58,000 --> 01:49:59,400
I got a quick funny story for 
you. 

2268
01:49:59,640 --> 01:50:01,800
You want to talk about pressure 
and I'm going to wrap it up. 

2269
01:50:01,880 --> 01:50:04,800
This is pressure. 
So we go to the game, we're 

2270
01:50:04,800 --> 01:50:07,240
living with No, no, we weren't 
living with because she, she, we

2271
01:50:07,240 --> 01:50:09,200
didn't live together until we 
were engaged, right? 

2272
01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:11,960
So she's from Dallas and we're 
at the game. 

2273
01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:15,320
And it was so hot. 
It was 4th of July, 4th of July 

2274
01:50:15,600 --> 01:50:21,040
at a Texas Rangers game in the 
Texas, the oppressive Texas heat

2275
01:50:21,200 --> 01:50:23,440
in July. 
Just let that resonate for a 

2276
01:50:23,440 --> 01:50:25,240
moment. 
It was as hot as anything I've 

2277
01:50:25,240 --> 01:50:28,600
ever felt in my life, right? 
And, you know, I'm sitting there

2278
01:50:28,600 --> 01:50:32,120
next to my my wife, but we're 
just, you know, boyfriend and 

2279
01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:35,240
girlfriend at this point. 
And, you know, I wanted to do 

2280
01:50:35,240 --> 01:50:37,000
the right thing because this is 
the way I was raised. 

2281
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:40,600
And I wanted to, you know, talk 
to her dad, who I love, who is 

2282
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:42,360
just awesome. 
And her mom's awesome as well. 

2283
01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:45,440
But it's different man to man. 
And I wanted to, you know, get a

2284
01:50:45,440 --> 01:50:48,680
little time alone with him and 
ask him permission to ask his 

2285
01:50:48,680 --> 01:50:50,920
daughter to marry me. 
And that's what I did, right. 

2286
01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:56,200
But the whole time at the 
Rangers game, she's like, did 

2287
01:50:56,200 --> 01:50:57,520
you ask him yet? 
Did you talk to him yet? 

2288
01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:01,560
I'm like, holy shit, this is 
building up to I like, I hadn't,

2289
01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:03,120
you know, I knew what I was 
going to say to him. 

2290
01:51:03,360 --> 01:51:04,960
You know, I thought about that 
in my own mind. 

2291
01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:07,920
I'm like, this is this getting 
more and more pressurized by the

2292
01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:09,280
minute? 
I'm like, no, I don't want to do

2293
01:51:09,280 --> 01:51:12,720
it in front of 35,000 people. 
I'll I'll darn it. 

2294
01:51:14,480 --> 01:51:16,600
And then what was then what 
happened was I didn't do it. 

2295
01:51:16,600 --> 01:51:18,000
There's no way I was doing it in
the stands. 

2296
01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:21,480
And that was I think a Saturday.
And then the next day I was, 

2297
01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:23,280
yeah, she was still living in 
Dallas. 

2298
01:51:23,440 --> 01:51:26,680
So I was flying back to was when
I'm working at 10:50. 

2299
01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:29,840
And and I remember it and I 
hadn't done it yet. 

2300
01:51:29,840 --> 01:51:34,480
And the more she asked me, the 
more like, I don't know, tight I

2301
01:51:34,480 --> 01:51:37,200
became and I hadn't done it yet.
And I'm running out of time. 

2302
01:51:37,560 --> 01:51:40,280
So we went to church, I think we
went to brunch at their Country 

2303
01:51:40,280 --> 01:51:43,360
Club. 
And my back was really jacked up

2304
01:51:43,360 --> 01:51:46,400
so I couldn't play, but. 
And my father-in-law knew what I

2305
01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:50,080
was getting ready to do. 
And I remember my, we, we got in

2306
01:51:50,080 --> 01:51:53,880
a couple of golf carts, went to 
the range and they, my 

2307
01:51:53,880 --> 01:51:56,600
mother-in-law now and my, my 
future mother-in-law and my 

2308
01:51:56,600 --> 01:52:00,120
future wife are in one cart. 
They're like, OK, go, go, go 

2309
01:52:00,120 --> 01:52:03,320
have some fun with, with Fred, 
you know, meanwhile, I knew that

2310
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:05,480
and I, and then they're taking 
me right to the airport. 

2311
01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:08,400
So I don't do it. 
Then it's not getting done. 

2312
01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:11,360
And. 
He's a great golfer. 

2313
01:52:11,640 --> 01:52:15,640
I mean, he is a great golfer. 
Pure flush. 

2314
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:17,880
At one point he's probably about
a four or five. 

2315
01:52:17,880 --> 01:52:20,120
He's probably about a 7 or 8 
now. 

2316
01:52:20,280 --> 01:52:24,840
He's a really good golfer and 
I'll never forget this. 

2317
01:52:24,840 --> 01:52:26,640
He's just, you know, just whack 
it. 

2318
01:52:26,640 --> 01:52:30,600
You that pure sound hitting 
wedges, moving to the seven 

2319
01:52:30,600 --> 01:52:34,000
iron. 
And he knows that I want to ask 

2320
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:37,120
him something and he's got this 
shit eating grin on his face. 

2321
01:52:37,600 --> 01:52:39,520
Yeah, girls are in the car. 
They come back. 

2322
01:52:39,720 --> 01:52:43,120
And then I finally asked them 
and Oh my God. 

2323
01:52:43,120 --> 01:52:46,800
So I, I, I don't think there 
will be as much pressure going 

2324
01:52:46,800 --> 01:52:49,120
out to throw the first pitch 
because I don't think I'll have 

2325
01:52:49,120 --> 01:52:51,440
my wife up my behind. 
Like, did you ask him yet? 

2326
01:52:51,640 --> 01:52:53,560
Did you throw a strike yet? 
Yeah, no different. 

2327
01:52:53,560 --> 01:52:55,960
This is nothing compared to. 
That I think so. 

2328
01:52:55,960 --> 01:52:58,320
I think so. 
But I'm really, I am so thankful

2329
01:52:58,320 --> 01:53:00,760
and so grateful Rangers. 
That is phenomenal, man. 

2330
01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:03,080
And I'm going to yeah. 
I mean, if I didn't like, if I 

2331
01:53:03,080 --> 01:53:07,040
was just a guy who liked 
baseball and talked about it, 

2332
01:53:07,480 --> 01:53:09,760
but you know, hadn't played and 
didn't love it the way that I 

2333
01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:12,000
do, I don't think I'd have any 
pressure. 

2334
01:53:12,080 --> 01:53:13,360
Like if I messed up, I messed 
up. 

2335
01:53:13,360 --> 01:53:14,440
It was a goof. 
Whatever. 

2336
01:53:16,080 --> 01:53:18,520
I got a hum one man and I and 
I'm I'm coming. 

2337
01:53:18,720 --> 01:53:20,280
I'm hoping I can warm up a 
little bit. 

2338
01:53:20,600 --> 01:53:23,320
And I told Jay, I'm not messing 
around with A2 seam. 

2339
01:53:23,320 --> 01:53:25,760
I don't want any ride. 
I'm certainly with no circle 

2340
01:53:25,760 --> 01:53:27,400
change. 
I'm not throwing a knuckleball. 

2341
01:53:27,520 --> 01:53:30,920
We're going 4 seam, we're going 
4 seam and hopefully I'm going 

2342
01:53:30,920 --> 01:53:34,320
right from the slab 60 feet, 66 
inches. 

2343
01:53:34,720 --> 01:53:37,600
And hopefully I got a big 
catcher or a big coach or 

2344
01:53:37,600 --> 01:53:40,000
whomever is going to catch this 
and I pump it down the middle. 

2345
01:53:40,120 --> 01:53:42,760
Either way, I'm really thankful 
that they're letting me do this.

2346
01:53:42,760 --> 01:53:45,120
It's it's an honor. 
So that was that. 

2347
01:53:45,120 --> 01:53:48,040
Hey, if you missed the interview
yesterday with Stephen A almost 

2348
01:53:48,040 --> 01:53:53,600
two hours and I proudly say, I 
don't say this arrogantly. 

2349
01:53:53,600 --> 01:53:57,840
I proudly say and humbly say 
that I'm pretty positive that 

2350
01:53:57,840 --> 01:54:01,160
you have never heard some of the
things that he divulged to me as

2351
01:54:01,160 --> 01:54:03,320
friends. 
And, you know, he knows what 

2352
01:54:03,320 --> 01:54:06,000
this channel means to me. 
So he didn't just come and, you 

2353
01:54:06,000 --> 01:54:07,360
know, here to mess around and 
waste time. 

2354
01:54:07,360 --> 01:54:11,040
But I think he really knowing 
how he is, how gracious he is 

2355
01:54:11,040 --> 01:54:12,440
and how much he knows the 
business. 

2356
01:54:12,760 --> 01:54:15,880
I think it was really important 
to him to come with some stuff 

2357
01:54:15,880 --> 01:54:19,880
that was that was new and deeply
personal, like the relationship 

2358
01:54:19,880 --> 01:54:23,880
with his dad, how he almost 
died, how his brother was 

2359
01:54:23,880 --> 01:54:26,200
killed. 
And the one story, I don't want 

2360
01:54:26,200 --> 01:54:30,280
to give it much away, but his 
brother was killed in a car 

2361
01:54:30,280 --> 01:54:33,640
accident. 
And his brother, right before he

2362
01:54:33,640 --> 01:54:35,080
passed, Steven, went to go see 
him. 

2363
01:54:35,080 --> 01:54:36,920
I think he was in Washington, DC
Yeah. 

2364
01:54:37,200 --> 01:54:39,920
And Steven was coming in from 
Carolina, So it was like a 5 or 

2365
01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:42,840
6 hour drive. 
And he got there and his brother

2366
01:54:42,840 --> 01:54:45,680
told him you could be a star 
like this when he was a writer. 

2367
01:54:45,680 --> 01:54:48,360
Like, he was just coming up. 
You're going to be a star and 

2368
01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:50,480
you're going to make it. 
You're going to be a superstar. 

2369
01:54:50,920 --> 01:54:54,560
And then shortly thereafter, his
brother was killed in the 

2370
01:54:54,560 --> 01:54:57,560
automobile accident. 
And Steven didn't go to his 

2371
01:54:57,560 --> 01:55:02,760
brother's gravesite for 11 
years, 11 years, because when he

2372
01:55:02,760 --> 01:55:07,800
went, he wanted to be able to 
say to his brother that you were

2373
01:55:07,800 --> 01:55:10,280
right, I am a superstar. 
I made it. 

2374
01:55:10,280 --> 01:55:12,240
And not in an arrogant way, 
like, yo, I'm a star. 

2375
01:55:12,240 --> 01:55:15,800
Like you're right. 
Your belief in me more than 

2376
01:55:15,800 --> 01:55:17,560
anybody. 
It was incredible. 

2377
01:55:17,600 --> 01:55:21,680
I I really I was I was very I 
was very touched by a lot of 

2378
01:55:21,680 --> 01:55:24,240
things that he said. 
So make sure you guys check that

2379
01:55:24,240 --> 01:55:26,440
out. 
All right, The Jets collective 

2380

We hammered that out. 

2381
01:55:28,240 --> 01:55:30,640
Myself and Rich Samidi, Jake 
Asmin. 

2382
01:55:30,640 --> 01:55:33,160
Yep, Good job with that, Jay. 
Go like it, go sub it. 

2383
01:55:33,160 --> 01:55:36,080
Go check it out.

we'll start cranking out two 

2386
01:55:40,320 --> 01:55:43,080
shows a week during the season. 
And that's it. 

2387
01:55:43,080 --> 01:55:44,840
J Rod, great job with the EA 
Sports. 

2388
01:55:44,840 --> 01:55:48,280
Thank you to them as well. 
So tomorrow we'll give away 25 

2389
01:55:48,280 --> 01:55:51,640
free codes for the college 
football game. 

2390
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:57,120
Today was the was Madden 26 PS-5
or the OR the Xbox. 

2391
01:55:57,120 --> 01:55:59,720
Obviously, as long as you guys 
took care of that, J Rod's going

2392
01:55:59,720 --> 01:56:01,680
to let you know if you won, 
he'll reach out to you. 

2393
01:56:01,680 --> 01:56:03,760
So that's it I think. 
I think we dotted all the IS we 

2394
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:04,880

Yes, Sir. 

2395
01:56:05,120 --> 01:56:07,200
Yeah, thank, thank you all to 
the fans. 

2396
01:56:07,440 --> 01:56:11,320
I will be in contact with all 
the the winners, all the 

2397
01:56:11,360 --> 01:56:15,720
respondees, respondees we've 
got, we've got a got a good 

2398
01:56:15,720 --> 01:56:17,840
amount so. 
There we go. 

2399
01:56:18,200 --> 01:56:20,160
All right, man, Good luck with 
those shorts. 

2400
01:56:20,160 --> 01:56:21,720
Cut those up, guys. 
Like it. 

2401
01:56:21,720 --> 01:56:24,000
Subscribe it. 
Get this out there. 

2402
01:56:24,440 --> 01:56:27,960
By the way, shout out to Barrett
Media, who wrote a real 

2403
01:56:27,960 --> 01:56:30,360
extensive piece on the 
conversation that I had with 

2404
01:56:30,360 --> 01:56:32,120
Steve. 
So it's it's it's gotten some 

2405
01:56:32,120 --> 01:56:34,760
national traction there. 
It's it's it's certainly worth 

2406
01:56:34,760 --> 01:56:37,440
the read and it's absolutely 
worth a watch. 

2407
01:56:37,440 --> 01:56:40,280
And even if you watch part of it
or you want to watch it again, 

2408
01:56:40,360 --> 01:56:42,160
go for it. 
All right, That obviously helps 

2409
01:56:42,160 --> 01:56:43,840
us grow the channel out. 
Like I'm not trying to, you 

2410
01:56:44,040 --> 01:56:46,200
know, not trying to be a 
magician here and fool you. 

2411
01:56:46,640 --> 01:56:48,400
The more we get, the more I can 
do. 

2412
01:56:48,520 --> 01:56:51,080
All right, you starting to see 
Premio came on as a sponsor this

2413
01:56:51,080 --> 01:56:54,640
week, which is awesome. 
So we went from no Subs, no 

2414
01:56:54,640 --> 01:56:59,400
likes, zero to and no sponsors 
to 1 sponsor Sullivan. 

2415
01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:03,240
But pain eternally grateful for 
them jumping out and believing 

2416
01:57:03,240 --> 01:57:06,400
in the vision of BT Unleashed. 
They were there basically from 

2417
01:57:06,400 --> 01:57:07,560
day one. 
All right. 

2418
01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:10,400
And then Premio, which is a 
product that I have used 

2419
01:57:10,400 --> 01:57:12,960
forever. 
It's a, it's the best, it is the

2420
01:57:13,040 --> 01:57:16,440
absolute best sausage and meats.
It's not your sausage, but 

2421
01:57:16,800 --> 01:57:21,240
Premio Premio Foods is now the 
second sponsor of BT Unleashed. 

2422
01:57:21,240 --> 01:57:24,160
So EA jumped in today, EA jumps 
in tomorrow. 

2423
01:57:24,440 --> 01:57:26,880
I will do some stuff around the 
draft and, and I just don't want

2424
01:57:26,880 --> 01:57:27,800
to listen. 
I'm not going to say this 

2425
01:57:27,800 --> 01:57:30,640
everyday, but I, I really am 
thankful for that because it 

2426
01:57:30,640 --> 01:57:32,600
just reinforces that we're doing
something right. 

2427
01:57:32,600 --> 01:57:35,560
I can feel the growth, I can 
feel the energy, I can feel the 

2428
01:57:35,560 --> 01:57:37,680
belief. 
It's been validated by 

2429
01:57:37,680 --> 01:57:39,800
companies. 
It is now palpable. 

2430
01:57:39,800 --> 01:57:42,200
So let's keep climbing. 
Let's keep rocking. 

2431
01:57:42,280 --> 01:57:45,120
See you tomorrow at 10, right 
here on Unleashed Peace.
