Lot to get to a little bit of a 11 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,160 shorter show today and obviously a bit of an earlier start. 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,400 I've got to I got to do a couple of things today, so let's jump 13 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,200 into it. Got something on Fernando 14 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,720 Mendoza, both New York managers reaching with the gut last 15 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,400 night, which I loved. And I've got something on Yankee 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,840 fans. I got to get on Yankee fans 17 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,760 today for something and something on Tarek's school 18 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,520 ball, which is actually really good for baseball but bad for 19 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,200 the Tigers. All right, let's get into AJ. 20 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,400 Rod is ready to roll, although I think it may have just rolled 21 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,080 out of bed. I can't really tell. 22 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,640 Yes, Sir, we out here. We out here. 23 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,560 Rough night you just wake up there buddy. 24 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,720 Dude, not a rough night. Honestly. 25 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,680 I got like this new beat making thing, so I was up late. 26 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,080 Oh, like making, doing doing stuff with that. 27 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,400 But we ready to roll? Yeah, we're up, man. 28 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,360 It's like I woke up three hours ago. 29 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,480 I I hear you now, beat making. We're talking like old school, 30 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,760 you know, Beatbox. What are we doing? 31 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,760 Like bust out a little old school beatbox? 32 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,800 Yeah, like an old BMC. For you little pad thing, nice 33 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,960 kind of make music. On it. 34 00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:27,480 Nice. I do. 35 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,120 But maybe listen, if the show's going well, maybe I'll bust out 36 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,920 a little Fat Boys for you. There we go. 37 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,200 Did you? Ever hear the Fat boys? 38 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,760 Dude maybe like one time but gave me a little history real 39 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,720 quick. Well, the Fat Boys were were 40 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,960 basically, you know, they weren't as hard as Run the MC. 41 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,480 I think they were maybe a year or two after Run the MC. 42 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,520 They were just one of these. I mean, Phenomenon might be a 43 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,600 bit of a strong characterization of their, of their rap career, 44 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,960 but they definitely had a little burst there in the mid 80s. 45 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,320 They actually made a movie too. It was, I think there was three 46 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,080 of them, the Fat Boys, and they're all, you know, big and 47 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,120 heavy. And they were just kind of 48 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,720 laughing at themselves. They were in a movie, I think it 49 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,600 was called the Disorderlies. I I believe that that was the 50 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,639 movie. Oh my gosh. 51 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,160 Yeah. Like that, at some point they 52 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,200 were good, right? They look like like WWE 53 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,760 wrestlers a little bit. Yeah, like midcard wrestlers, 54 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,040 not, not the top, but not the top spotted at WrestleMania. 55 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,920 All right, let's get into it.

So I don't know how they got it. 70 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,640 Maybe the Rangers put something out. 71 00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:09,680 You know, I was told the Rangers social media team was working on 72 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,760 it. I don't, I don't have it yet, 73 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,000 but I guess I don't need it because I could just use the 74 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,840 post. So they put the first pitch out 75 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,600 from Sunday at the Rangers game. You saw it obviously, right? 76 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,800 Yeah, no, I mean, they did it whether you wanted to or not, 77 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,640 because I know, yes, Sir, you know, going back and forth. 78 00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:27,680 But there we go, There we go. It's out there. 79 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,400 And I will say, like I was saying, they did you. 80 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,840 Well, with the angle, you know, you don't see where the ball 81 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,400 really lands. Yes. 82 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,400 When you throw the pitch, all you see is that, you know, you 83 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,920 kind of do the move and then you. 84 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,600 You. Toss that thing. 85 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,240 So they listen. It looked good. 86 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,680 I appreciate that. I had a blast and again, it was 87 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,600 awesome. Just a thrill and honor that the 88 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,920 Rangers asked me to do that. A lot of people are like, we'll 89 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,960 do. What's the connection with 90 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,880 Texas? Dude, This is all about 91 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,800 expanding the the Unleashed brand. 92 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,280 That's what this is about. Great opportunity. 93 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,640 You know, I told you the whole story yesterday how I was 94 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,960 getting a little nervous because the ball was slick and I was 95 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,480 waiting for 20 minutes basically in the dugout right next to the 96 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,440 dugout. And I was getting inside my own 97 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,200 head and it was windy. And you know, they're like, 98 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,480 well, you can't, they're like, you can't go for the rubber 99 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,080 because we already manicured the mounts. 100 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,839 You can go from the slope and I'm like, and, and I was 101 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,399 thinking I'm like, alright, I'll just go for the slope. 102 00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:21,360 That's whatever you guys, you know, whatever you guys don't 103 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,040 want me to do, I certainly won't do. 104 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,560 I'll show respect and I'll adhere to the rules that you 105 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,040 have set up for the first pitch here. 106 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,240 But the the woman told me she's like, you can go for the slope, 107 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,880 but we've seen people trip and fall. 108 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,760 I'm like, that's making me more nervous. 109 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,800 I'm like, I'll just go from the, the beginning of the grass where 110 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,680 the grass meets the dirt. And of course, and I, I had to 111 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,400 read some of the comments because I knew I was going to 112 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,480 get clowned with that when the, when the post put that there's 113 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,240 probably about a 32nd video up there. 114 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,560 I saw it on XI, didn't even see it. 115 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,040 My buddy sent it to, to our group chat and I'm like, here we 116 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,640 go. But yeah, they, they did me 117 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,520 solid and it wasn't, I don't think it was planned. 118 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,040 I think that was just the camera angle because you can't really 119 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,320 tell how wide of and how high of a strike it was and how 120 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,000 perilously close it was to going to the backstop on a flight like 121 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,960 I confront them. But yeah, it was it was a 122 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,840 borderline strike. You know, depending upon 123 00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:14,960 American League, although with ABS, doesn't matter. 124 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,520 American League, National League, I put that right on the 125 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,520 black man. I hit it at 70 miles an hour. 126 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,200 I don't know the velocity, but I know for sure it was not a 127 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,240 strike. But it was great. 128 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,480 But I was, I was laughing. I really was. 129 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,040 I told you that. I think if you take social media 130 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,680 too seriously, if you, if you seek validation or self worth in 131 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,560 social media, you're just barking up the wrong tree. 132 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,200 It's never going to be a good. You've got to just, you know, do 133 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,520 you and believe in what you believe. 134 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,760 And, but I, I wanted to dive into the comments because I knew 135 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,040 that they'd be funny and, and and I didn't think one thing I 136 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,880 didn't think was, and I saw one comment, I'm like, Oh, B TS 137 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,080 really diving into those. Oh, you can eat ribs in in 138 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,000 Texas. First time everybody, anybody's 139 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,120 basically called me fat ever. And but then I looked at it. 140 00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,960 I'm like, Hey dude, you do look a little. 141 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,040 You look a little bit like that. The white jersey didn't help 142 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,640 out, even. Though Jersey and. 143 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,440 The white jersey didn't help out. 144 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,520 The wind was whipping. So when the wind's whipping, 145 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,800 it's not going to conceal the little love handles there. 146 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,080 But it was. It was some of the comments 147 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,120 where, you know, a lot of people like, yeah. 148 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,760 Dude, they were.

I'm like, oh, here we go. 152 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,480 I'm going to get clowned even more on this. 153 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,880 It was great and had an awesome time and it's funny, my wife, my 154 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,680 wife say you got to let everybody know that's how we 155 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,240 speak out in tech.

He's more game ready ceiling, 188 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,720 floor, hips, you know, the hand in the dirt, whatever it is. 189 00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,720 I don't know who they going to draft. 190 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,400 It's probably going to be one of those two guys. 191 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,880 But, but what I did like about that, and this is just to get 192 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,680 into the Fernando Mendoza stuff about not going to the draft. 193 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,840 But what I do like about that is that a potentially, obviously 194 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,400 you need somebody else to work with here. 195 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,840 Somebody would have to love Reese or somebody else at The 196 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,200 Jets can pretend that they really like now at this point, 197 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,360 cuz I, I think The Jets have been so quiet about this, which 198 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,640 is another good sign that the building is finally having all 199 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,040 those leaks shored up. I remember telling telling you 200 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,120 guys like I had somebody in the building when I was doing the 201 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,880 show with Sal, who, you know, we're talking about The Jets and 202 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,880 he would just be texting me from inside the building. 203 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,960 Hey, this guy's coming in for a workout. 204 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,000 This isn't true. They're thinking this this guy's 205 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,520 going to get benched. I mean, you know, I I would 206 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,440 never divulge his name. I appreciated it because it 207 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,160 allowed me to bring some something different to the 208 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,680 table, different perspectives some more, you know, how The 209 00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:53,000 Jets were actually thinking and what they were doing. 210 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,800 But that's not good for business from a Jets point of view. 211 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,960 So they do seem buttoned up. The Giants seem buttoned up. 212 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,040 Obviously the news with Dexter Lawrence Harbaugh spoke about 213 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,640 that. I thought he hit the perfect 214 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,360 chord. I think that I do not think that 215 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,040 he will be traded. I said that yesterday. 216 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,760 I myself would be much more intrigued and amenable to 217 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,440 trading him if somebody comes and knocks my socks off with an 218 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,440 offer like Dallas gave The Jets or the Raiders were getting for 219 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,760 the Ravens before the Max Crosby deal was rescinded. 220 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,800 Either way, there are now 15 days before the draft and you'll 221 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,520 see more and more, unfortunately, character 222 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,880 assassinations. This guy's not all in. 223 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,160 This guy's lazy. This guy's not a great teammate, 224 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,360 whatever it might be, right? This guy doesn't love ball. 225 00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:42,160 And it's all, you know, scouts and personnel, people basically 226 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,160 besmirching a young man's character for their own gain, 227 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,360 hoping somebody will drop so they could get that player. 228 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,680 It's a nasty game. It's been going on forever. 229 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,520 I can't stand it. I used to work for what I guess 230 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,120 it was seven years on TV with with Amy Trask, who I love, who 231 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,560 was the first female executive in the history of the NFL with 232 00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:05,720 the Raiders back in the day. She was the COO hired by Al 233 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,520 Davis. And and she's not a like she's 234 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,320 fiery in her own way, but her presentation, you know, doing 235 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,440 that show, and I did it with Shine and Bart Scott, London 236 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,160 Fletcher, you know, we're cut from a different cloth. 237 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,840 Me and Shine as non NFL players who just, you know, love sports 238 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,320 and get a little nuts here and there. 239 00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:27,160 She is brilliant. She might be the smartest person 240 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,560 I know outside of my sister. And but that would drive her 241 00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:32,320 nuts. She would always go hard on 242 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,520 that. And her message was, Hey, if 243 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,800 you're going to do that and try to ruin or impact somebody's 244 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,720 earning power and what they've aspired and what they've worked 245 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,400 for their entire life, then you got to put your name behind it 246 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,080 so nobody has the guts to actually do it. 247 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,040 And I don't mean people on TV who get paid to talk about this, 248 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,680 like Orlovsky or and others, obviously that that played the 249 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:55,920 game and followed the game. She's talking about people 250 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,520 within organizations. So it's a dirty game and it's 251 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,120 going to get dirty dirtier these next two weeks or so. 252 00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:03,920 But Fernando Mendoza is going to skip the NFL draft. 253 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,240 This was a big story yesterday. It's not a big story to me. 254 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,760 I get it why it's a talking point. 255 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,320 I certainly understand that. But like, you've got to, I 256 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,480 choose to analyze this through not so much my prism, but 257 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,120 through his personal prism. And it's what he wants, you 258 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,040 know? And, and I get it. 259 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,880 I respect everybody's opinion. I might disagree with some of 260 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,840 them, but I heard a lot of people say yesterday that it's 261 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,520 it's a bad look that he's doing the NFL little dirty. 262 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,960 What the hell does he owe the NFL at this point? 263 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,560 Honestly, the only people that he will be beholden to will be 264 00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:39,920 the people in the Raiders organization. 265 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,040 That includes Tom Brady, obviously, Davis, the owner and 266 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,000 everybody else that's involved with the Raiders. 267 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,560 And I can tell you this, I don't know if he's going to be a 268 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:49,560 superstar. I like him a lot. 269 00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:52,760 I don't know if I love him. I'm not sure he's a can't miss 270 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,720 star. You know, some of his throws, 271 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,560 I'm not going to get into that now, like the off platform 272 00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:02,040 stuff, not a great athlete, some accuracy issues here and there. 273 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,880 I think he's a winner and I think he's locked in and I think 274 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,560 he's all football and he's got a big enough body in the 275 00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:09,440 measurables, in the arm, those things check. 276 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,000 So I think he's going to be good. 277 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,880 That's like, that's my opinion of him as a player, But what 278 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,960 what does he owe the NFL at this point? 279 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,760 He owes himself and his family this moment. 280 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,360 I whenever he, however he wants to compartmentalize it or attack 281 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,400 it, that is up to ferment. Ando Mendoza. 282 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,880 Now, I'll tell you this like if it was me, I I remember, is this 283 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,480 corny? But I was young, so it's funny. 284 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:37,360 There was a AVHS tape that was made in 1987. 285 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,000 That's how long ago it was the like the the history of the 286 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,520 Knicks. It wasn't about the 86 season 287 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,680 going into 87. It was about the history of the 288 00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:47,760 Knicks. And Claude Frazier was on it and 289 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,800 Marv Albert was on it. And, and, and I actually said 290 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,800 this to make it at one point during the UConn game at the Big 291 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,960 East tournament this year. This is a quick aside before I 292 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,320 get to the other aspect of it. And Marv Albert is actually, I 293 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,400 think it's called the history of the Knicks. 294 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,360 And it was definitely an 87. And Marv Albert says at one 295 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,720 point he was harkening back to the days of Willis Reed limping 296 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,920 out, hitting the first two shots in the in the NBA Finals with a 297 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,880 bum knee and then obviously sitting out and Clyde going 298 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,640 bonkers. And, you know, talking about the 299 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,240 history of the Knicks. And, and, and Marv said one 300 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:25,240 thing that he would do, he would try to gauge like how the fans 301 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,320 like the the depth of belief in whatever Nick team he was 302 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,080 covering by during a moment like a time out, a big bucket, a 303 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,600 stoppage and play, you know, a, a, a transformational point in a 304 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,880 game where he would just take the headsets and remove one from 305 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,680 his ear. So we could get the, you know, 306 00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:45,160 the feedback from whomever he's doing the game with this color 307 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,320 guy, But also just hear the crowd better because when you 308 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,000 have the headphones on, you really can't hear much. 309 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,760 You can you can tell when there's energy, but you can't 310 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,720 really decipher to what extent. So he would do that. 311 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,880 And I remember telling Mink during the UConn UConn game 312 00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:01,880 against Saint John's I, that I I did that. 313 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,720 And I've done that a few other times in my career anyway, that 314 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,720 that jump, that that just hit me from the videotape. 315 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,400 But what what really hit me and talk about being a cornball they 316 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,040 they are chronicling the 87 draft when Mark Jackson was 317 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,080 drafted, I believe it was 17th overall, won the rookie of the 318 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,520 year, played for Pitino ironically with the Knicks 319 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,600 there. And then Mark had a couple of 320 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:23,680 great years won the rookie of the year. 321 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,720 As I said then he wound up hurting his knee. 322 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,960 And Mark was never an explosive athlete. 323 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,640 So he had to rely on his IQ and seeing things a step before 324 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:32,840 everybody else. Great passer. 325 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,320 Everybody that watched Mark knows what kind of player he 326 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,880 was. He was great, maybe one of the 327 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,600 smartest players in the history of the NBA, right. 328 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,040 And that Mark was slipping in the draft because he wasn't, you 329 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,840 know, an elite defender and he didn't have that great lateral 330 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,800 speed that, that, that, that explosiveness, right. 331 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,080 So anyway, they're at the fell Forum and they're going through 332 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,240 the draft picks and they are Mark Jackson. 333 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,920 There's not a green room at this point. 334 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,960 They're actually in a in a visible open area, like at the 335 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,200 like in front of the stage and they have fans behind. 336 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,120 It was not the production that it is obviously now this 337 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,880 monstrosity of drafts going to different cities for the NFL, 338 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,520 which I love. He's going to be great in 339 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,240 Pittsburgh if it's going on for about a decade or so, Detroit, 340 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,680 Philly, some other cities. So they they track, they they 341 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,480 say with these, I think it was the 17th with the 17th pick in 342 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,080 the NBA draft. In the 1987 NBA draft, the New 343 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,640 York Knicks select point guard from St. 344 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,240 John's, Mark Jackson. And Mark just kind of goes like 345 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,960 this with his fingers and he steps up. 346 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,640 And I don't think it was Kenny Smith, somebody that was next to 347 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,400 him that was waiting to get drafted, like DAP them up and 348 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,920 gave him this big hug. And then Mark fucked up to the 349 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,800 podium and got the hat from the commissioner and put it on. 350 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,640 He had his nick slid right. And I would I would actually do 351 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,920 that in my basement, pretending that I was getting drafted, as 352 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,400 crazy as that sounds now I know, but I was 12 or 13 years old 353 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,760 with this vivid imagination and this amazing love for sports. 354 00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,440 So I was pretending that I was him. 355 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,760 The point is in a very long way, short story made long by BT 356 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,680 Nobody makes a short story longer than me. 357 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,800 I know, but if that was me, right, like, man, I mean I'm 358 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,680 going up on the stage and I'm dapping up the commish who's you 359 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,360 know, whatever, you know, I'm I'm not a massive Goodell fan, 360 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,920 but he is the commish. I'm getting my lid, I'm getting 361 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,000 the photo OPS. I mean, I don't know if I'd be 362 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,280 rocking and hearing, but I'd have 1 sweet soon on. 363 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,560 I'd probably have a little bit of bling maybe, and I'd be up 364 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,320 there for my moment. Well, it's up for each player to 365 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,600 internalize how he wants to attack that moment. 366 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,480 And and I haven't heard like robust criticism of Mendoza, to 367 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,080 be fair, because everybody knows what his mom is dealing with. 368 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,200 MSI don't know if that's the impetus behind this. 369 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,040 If it is, there's nothing else to talk about. 370 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,640 It's it's a degenerative disease that there's no cure for, for 371 00:16:54,520 --> 00:17:00,680 it's a basically a hideous, almost sadistic and and just 372 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,839 unfair breaking down of the body where you just you just the 373 00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:07,440 functionality is, is gone after a while. 374 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:08,920 That's why she's in a wheelchair. 375 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,839 But she if you watch the college football playoffs or if you 376 00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:15,200 watched Indiana, Indiana during the year during some big games 377 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,359 in the big 10, she was there all the time with with her husband 378 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,240 and obviously Fernando's dad and some other family members. 379 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,960 So she's able to get around. I don't know if that's it. 380 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,800 And and everybody who I heard talk about this very wisely and, 381 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,400 and, and with great sensitivity, obviously broach that. 382 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,560 But even if she didn't have Ms. and even if she was able to walk 383 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,840 and, you know, just, you know, have have a different physical 384 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,520 existence, there's still nothing to criticize because this is how 385 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,440 the young man wants to, you know, go through his 386 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,840 indoctrination and celebrate his moment. 387 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,360 All the all the years of being overlooked by Miami and 388 00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:57,440 transferring, you know, and and and just from Cal and and 389 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,440 having, you know, I think they went six and five and they made 390 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,200 a bowl game. And he had that great post game 391 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,880 press, post game interview where he was like over the moon, over 392 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,880 the moon euphoric about and just how it showed his leadership and 393 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,640 it showed just how connected he is to his teammates, which 394 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,920 obviously bodes well for him. I don't see the issue and there 395 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,240 is no issue. Trevor Lawrence did this back in 396 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,880 2021. So yeah, I mean, he's never 397 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,640 going to we're we're not going to and I don't care. 398 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,160 The NF LS not going to have the photo op and the picture for 399 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,720 social media and it's it's going to seem a little hollow, 400 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,080 understandably so a a little empty. 401 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,720 You know, imagine if like Peyton wasn't there or back in 85 that 402 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,400 Patrick Ewing wasn't there. Like that is a really cool 403 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,880 moment. And for most of these young 404 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,880 athletes, it's it's the culmination of of really, truly 405 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,760 touching their dream, because Mendoza hasn't touched his dream 406 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:48,960 yet. We all know he's going first to 407 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,680 the Raiders. We all know he's going to get a 408 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,400 gazillion dollars, especially if he gets a second contract. 409 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,040 We all know being around Tom Brady now that Brady's with the 410 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,360 Raiders will be good for the direction of his career. 411 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,080 We all know he's a bowler and he's all in on football. 412 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,800 And we all know without knowing how good or great he's going to 413 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,920 ultimately be, I think it's a pretty safe bet that Fernando 414 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,200 Mendoza is not going to get in an ounce of trouble. 415 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,160 The only thing that he might do wrong, and this is by no means 416 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,480 wrong, I'm obviously being sarcastic, is sing too loud in 417 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:19,920 church. Like that's it. 418 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,240 Like he might over shadow the choir. 419 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,040 That's how how into faith he is. That's a great thing. 420 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,680 So I love it. I you know, you you've seen 421 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,520 baseball used to be like this, obviously before they followed 422 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,640 suit. And now it's televised on the 423 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,840 MLB Network. And Aaron Judge was there years 424 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,520 ago when Secaucus and I think Mike Trout may have been there 425 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,680 and others may have been there, but we all saw the footage from 426 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,560 Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez and Alex versus a Rod and the 427 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:51,200 Jeter, the Jeter, you know, a couple I think was how many 428 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,640 parts was the Jeter 1? I think it was at least four, 429 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,560 maybe whatever it was we all saw when he got the call from the 430 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,640 Yankees when he got drafted 6th overall and he celebrated with 431 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:00,840 his family. Now we didn't really have the 432 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,800 option back then. I, I, if anything, I, I, I 433 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,840 really respect it because I got no skin of the game. 434 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,720 I don't care what the ratings are for the draft. 435 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,320 I don't care that there's the first player chosen doesn't get 436 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,160 the. Stroll across the the podium and 437 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,160 shake the commissioner's hand. Big damn deal. 438 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,760 I respect his his commitment to his family. 439 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,880 Now I also know that the green room is very accommodating, but 440 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,280 I don't know how big his family is. 441 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,360 Like what if he's going 3040 deep? 442 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,000 Like what if I happen to have a very small family, my 443 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,120 grandparents, you know, because I'm older now or are no longer 444 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:39,240 with me, unfortunately. You know, I wish they could have 445 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,120 met my children. That would have been amazing on 446 00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:46,840 on my wife's side, both of her parents are, are still alive and 447 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,800 and healthy, but her grandparents are no longer with 448 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,040 us. My parents are alive and 449 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,080 healthy, thank God. So we have that. 450 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,240 My sister, you know, has two amazing, beautiful daughters, 451 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,760 you know, my aunt and uncle, Uncle Pat, Aunt Angie, you know, 452 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,720 Bensonhurst, their whole life out east now. 453 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,480 But that's kind of like we're really small family and because 454 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,320 I go to Texas for a lot of holidays, we don't do the 455 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,880 holidays together when there was like maybe 11-12, maybe 13, a 456 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,360 couple of years if we had a girlfriend or a boyfriend or 457 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,160 whatever it may have been. But so I come from a fairly 458 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,120 small family, but a lot of people I know come from, they've 459 00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:23,880 got, you know, 4-5 siblings and then they get married and then 460 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,080 you got nephews and you got nieces, you got cousins. 461 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:31,240 Like if it's a 30 deep or 40 deep production, you know, I'm 462 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,240 sure they could be in the stands, in the in the seats, in 463 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,560 the arena or in the in the area, whatever in in Pittsburgh. 464 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,840 It's different now, as we know, but this is what he wants. 465 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,840 So go get them. Revel in the moment. 466 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,880 There's a lot of people that you want to hug and a lot of people 467 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,680 that you want to embrace. And there's going to be a lot of 468 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,800 tears that night. And if that's what he's doing, 469 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,560 awesome, Hats off salute to Mendoza. 470 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,800 There is absolutely no issue. There is absolutely no problem. 471 00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:01,520 That's that for me, this is becoming a bit of a problem. 472 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,280 I got to get on Yankee fans here. 473 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,800 Now, obviously, I didn't do the show Monday. 474 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,000 I was travelling back from Texas for Easter and it happened on 475 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,440 Sunday and I knew what happened because I saw it on social media 476 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,120 during the Marlins game and I know Michael Kay went in on this 477 00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:20,040 yesterday. I don't understand why Yankee 478 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,080 fans give a shit about Juan Soda anymore. 479 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,920 I don't know how else to say it. Like it's got to be brutally 480 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,120 blunt, dude, get over yourselves, please. 481 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,640 I mean #1 the Yankees look really good this year. 482 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,160 Really good. And I'll get to some Boone's 483 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,800 decisions last night. Mendy as well. 484 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,280 Little gut in baseball, which is always good. 485 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,760 Get away from the binders, get away from the numbers here. 486 00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:47,240 So during the game on, you're playing the Marlins, right? 487 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,760 You can't have a more nondescript rivalry or matchup 488 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,040 in baseball. Yankee, even though they played 489 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,040 in the World Series in O3, there's no juice there. 490 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,120 Marlins have no fans. I'm trying to disparage the 491 00:22:58,120 --> 00:22:59,920 Marlins, but they are what they are, right? 492 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,480 They got a lot of young talent, they play hard, they're fast, 493 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,080 whatever. But no budget, empty stadium, 494 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,200 nothing. No connection. 495 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,280 Yanks Marlins right, so during the game, and I don't know how 496 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,680 loud it was because I didn't hear it and I I I read it on on 497 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,960 X and I saw it, but I didn't actually I saw people reacting 498 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,200 to it. I didn't hear like how audible 499 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,480 it was. I know it wasn't 40,000 deep 500 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,640 saying yeah, I'm not just going to throw out F bombs for the 501 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:30,920 sake of throwing them out. You know FF1 or FFUF yeah F1 502 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,440 Soto F1. So why, what in the world would 503 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:40,760 propel you to even think about Juan Soto in in that moment now 504 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,240 when he returned to the Bronx as a MET? 505 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,120 I wouldn't I don't even want to see. 506 00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:47,040 I don't want to hear that. Like you want to be creative. 507 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,320 You want to have some fun. I don't understand outside of 508 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,520 the fact that because he was a free agent and the Mets had a 509 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,920 better offer and the Mets made more concessions and the Mets 510 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,320 did more for him and his family. And, you know, he said, I don't 511 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,840 I don't know. I don't know if I really believe 512 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,560 him because it's yet to be proven true, but I guess I'll 513 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:05,640 give him the benefit of the doubt. 514 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,480 He said that one of the reasons that he chose the Mets was he 515 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,440 believed in their future more. And maybe that's true. 516 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,640 You know, maybe Bench is going to be a stud and you know, I 517 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,640 love McClain and you know, the Antos is hitting again and 518 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,240 Alvarez is hitting a little bit. I don't know, did he really 519 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,120 think that or is that him convincing himself that that's 520 00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:24,040 part of the reason why he left the Yankees, where he had a 521 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,680 great relationship with Judge, had his best season as a pro, 522 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,080 got to the World Series, played well in the World Series, hit 523 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,440 the entire postseason and decided to leave for a team with 524 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,000 a lower profile and that hasn't won a championship since 1986. 525 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,800 And I'm not begging on the Mets. That's just the history, all 526 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,440 right? And that's his choice. 527 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,760 You know, he got called up at the age of 19. 528 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,920 He was able to hit free agency at a very young age, hence the 529 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,600 inordinate and exorbitant contract that he got. 530 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,320 So why I I don't think about Juan Soto at all? 531 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,960 Like you can choose not to believe me. 532 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,400 I don't really care. It doesn't matter if you if you 533 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,960 believe me or not. The only time I think of Juan 534 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,200 Soto is what I'm watching the Mets and Juan Soto's playing, 535 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,720 which by the way, to do my job effectively is pretty much every 536 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,040 night. Now he's out for a couple of 537 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,920 weeks. I know he's on the 10 day IL 538 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,960 with the calf. It's retro to I think it's April 539 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,640 4th, so they bought a couple of days there. 540 00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:20,560 I think it's going to and Mendy said this. 541 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,120 I think it's going to be more 2-3 weeks. 542 00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:25,320 No need to shut him like why, why you why are you rushing him 543 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,240 back? All right, the Mets are four No, 544 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,920 without him Let him get fully straight, let him get fully 545 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,000 healthy. You know, medically let him feel 546 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,800 good. If he needs a game or two at 547 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,560 Syracuse, whatever put him there call him up. 548 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,600 He's going to hit when he wakes up with his eyes with his eyes 549 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,600 shut. That man can hit, but you just 550 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,760 got to understand that it's such a petty look, Yankee fans, and 551 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,200 I'm not going to defend you against people who who go in on 552 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,640 you for being petty or being still overly consumed with 553 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,360 somebody who's no longer here. Listen, both things could be 554 00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:59,000 true. Juan Soto was a great Yankee for 555 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,080 a year. He was phenomenal. 556 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,160 He really was. And not only was he phenomenal, 557 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,400 statistically, he's a different level box office then then even 558 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,320 Aaron Judge, the whole shuffle, which he did a lot more that 559 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,600 year. You know, the the the penchant 560 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,080 for coming up big in these in these high leverage moments, 561 00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:19,680 little bit of a different swag and a little bit of a different 562 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,560 presentation than Aaron Judge, who's got his own understated 563 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:24,800 swag. But it's just he's got a 564 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,080 different vibe than Judge. And it was awesome. 565 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,960 I mean, it, it worked and it was a great fit. 566 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,680 And I thought he was going to stay. 567 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,920 But you know, I've said this a few times. 568 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,120 Go find the YouTube show from the day after when the Mets got 569 00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:38,240 him. I came in, I said, sound, you 570 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,400 won. You don't have your moment. 571 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,640 Let's go to the layout because we talked about it for months. 572 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,520 So I'm not going to get in the way of Mets fans celebrating 573 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,120 them getting a great player from the Yankees. 574 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,360 All right now. I think that, and I haven't 575 00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:54,120 heard Met fans doing it as much, which is why I'm calling out the 576 00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:56,560 knucklehead Yankee fans who still subscribe to this 577 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:02,720 childish, infantile, petty response and characterization of 578 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,760 what Juan Soda was here. He was. 579 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,440 He was. He was dealt here. 580 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,520 He did not come here of his own volition. 581 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,920 He was traded to the Yankees. He fit like a glove. 582 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,960 He looked great in the uniform. He hammered the baseball. 583 00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:18,720 Yankees got to the World Series and basically so do a judge. 584 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,280 You know, we're really like Ruth and Garrick. 585 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,760 It was the modern interpretation of that. 586 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,080 It really was as good as Mattingly was in his prime with 587 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,880 the MVP. Yeah, 145 RBI's, you know, 588 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,440 breaking Lou Double S record, winning a batting title, winning 589 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,320 an MVP and Dave Winfield right behind him, who's a Hall of 590 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,160 Famer and was awesome. Like, I don't like this is going 591 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,760 to sound over the top, but they couldn't shine Judge and Soto's 592 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,840 shoes together. Like that tandem was the best 593 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,280 I've ever seen in all the baseball, not just with the 594 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,320 Yankees, but you've got to get over it. 595 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,040 Like if you're playing the Mets and you want to drop F bombs, 596 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,200 which by the way, is not, you know, not great with kids 597 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,120 around. But I'm not going to preach. 598 00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:01,200 I'm going to tell you what to do. 599 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,960 You pay for, you know, as long as you're not throwing batteries 600 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,440 or throwing beer by cans or whatever it might be more hats 601 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,760 or anything at Juan Soto chanting. 602 00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:12,520 All right. I mean, again, it's it's 603 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:13,960 probably a little bit much at this point. 604 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,160 I thought he got showered with the proper treatment a year ago. 605 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,640 I thought it was warranted. I thought it was on point. 606 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,320 I think I thought Yankee fans were great. 607 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,680 Yankees had a better season than the Mets by a mile. 608 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,440 Yankees didn't accomplish what they are supposed to accomplish. 609 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,600 So it wasn't a great season. It was just a good season that 610 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,480 was fun. That was better than the Mets 611 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,040 season, which was Juan Soto's first season with the Mets. 612 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,640 We'll see what happens in Year 2 and Year 3, but I delineate 613 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,280 between the Yankees and the Mets. 614 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,040 You have to. Now I understand if you're not 615 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,520 doing this for a living, you know, you don't have to watch 616 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:48,840 the Mets. You know, you hate the Mets. 617 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,000 You think the Mets are the little brother, which is a term 618 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,240 that you know, I think it's, it's, you hear it a lot the last 619 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,320 couple of years. I don't lean into that, right? 620 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,920 It goes both ways. It's a game I've got no interest 621 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,960 playing. To me, it's just not fun. 622 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,280 You know, it's, it's, it's just, it's not very interesting to me. 623 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,200 What is interesting is what happens with the Mets moving 624 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,040 forward. And what is interesting is what 625 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,800 happens with the Yankees moving forward. 626 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,520 I don't know the origin of of like, why would that even bust 627 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,800 out? Why would that chant even start? 628 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,560 Juan Soto didn't say anything in the papers that day. 629 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,040 Or, you know, have an interview that we got wind of on social 630 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,440 media where he dissed the Yankees. 631 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,520 All right, Maybe if he did that, then I, you know what if he did 632 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,880 do that, then I have a different response. 633 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:36,120 Like if Juan Soto came out and he was like, you know, listen, I 634 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,280 played at both places. You know, Mets fans are better. 635 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,480 Yankee fans are overrated. Like if it was personalized, 636 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,480 right? If he went that road, do 637 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,240 whatever you got to do in terms of saying stuff. 638 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,840 Again, not in the physical manner, but just roast them. 639 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,080 You can do it every night. Even when they're playing the 640 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,880 Tigers or the the Twins or the White Sox, I don't care. 641 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,840 They're playing the Phillies. Shout, yell, whatever you want, 642 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,920 but my goodness, God Almighty, we got to get over this, guys. 643 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,360 It's just it's it's just awful. It really. 644 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,560 Yeah. I'll get to Rosario all. 645 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:06,840 Good morning, buddy. What's up, dude? 646 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,800 The pinstripe bugle. Good, good website. 647 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,400 They got some good content. If you guys want to check him 648 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,760 out, give him a follow and obviously like and subscribe 649 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,320 this, of course. But I mean, Rosario was great. 650 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,800 I'll get to it. It it it bothers me. 651 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,680 It bothers me because, number one, it's incredibly unoriginal 652 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,160 numbers. It's crass, it's unnecessary. 653 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:31,320 Juan Soto was a good dude here. He is a good dude who loves 654 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,600 baseball. He was a great player for the 655 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,960 New York Yankees. And because he had the first 656 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,560 choice of his career, you know, he had the first choice of his 657 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,760 career and he chose to lead the Yankees and he chose to lead the 658 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:44,840 Mets. Let me ask you this. 659 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:50,120 If Juan Soto decided to go to the Dodgers and some people 660 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,920 thought maybe he would, right, would you be chanted bleep you 661 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,120 Soto the other the other night, the other day against the 662 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,680 Marlins on Sunday, would you be doing that if you went to any of 663 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,320 if you went to the Phillies, right? 664 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,480 Would you do that? The answer is no. 665 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,760 So anytime somebody who hosts the show or, you know, just a 666 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:11,040 fan hops on social media or opens a microphone and says, you 667 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,600 know, the Mets to some extent for some some crazy reason, some 668 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,680 it's it's complete. There's no reason for this to be 669 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,400 the case, but it obviously is with some of you for the Mets to 670 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,640 live and I hate this expression, but it is what it is rent free 671 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,240 in the heads of some Yankee fans. 672 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,600 Stop giving them fuel. You're just giving them fuel. 673 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,040 Now that the Mets are starting to win a little bit, Mets are 674 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,000 getting their act together. Mets cleaning things up. 675 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,160 It although that another error, Lindor, but that did take a bad 676 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,440 hop. I'm not going to get on Lindor. 677 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,640 It was hit soft. You know, looked it looked 678 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,760 sloppy last second. I think it may have actually hit 679 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,720 the lip of the grass where it meets the dirt, whatever. 680 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,480 But they're cleaning things up and they look like I thought 681 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,360 they would be, you know, low 90s win team, but eventually a 682 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,120 playoff team. And I think the Yankees will win 683 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,400 95, maybe more based on the start with the return of coal 684 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,360 and all the reasons that I love the Yankees this year. 685 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,640 If the pitching is what I think it will be to get to and maybe 686 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,080 this time actually win the World Series. 687 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,160 But I, I just, I, I don't think about Juan Soto except when I 688 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,200 watch the Mets. Oh, Juan Soto's up. 689 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,080 He's a great hitter. All right, Let me watch him 690 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,680 play. Let me let me watch him do his 691 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,440 job. Just like I watch Beatty now 692 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,120 there's, there's heightened interest because he's better 693 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,920 than Beatty. Just like, you know, when I'm 694 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,280 watching Alvarez or binge or if Taylor gets in that bat, 695 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,440 whatever it might be, he is a baseball player that is not on 696 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,800 the Yankees. That didn't do a damn thing to 697 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,320 you, did nothing to you, didn't shit on you on the way out, 698 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,760 didn't disparage the Yankees, didn't disparage the fans, and 699 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:43,000 maybe more importantly, never LED you on, never LED you on 700 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,400 that he was going to return to the Yankees. 701 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,880 It wasn't like there was this detailed two or three month 702 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,160 breadcrumb trail where we're connecting dots on a daily basis 703 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,920 saying, oh man, there's no way this dude's leaving. 704 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,760 As long as the Yankees come correct with the money, which 705 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,640 they pretty much did, he's staying. 706 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:02,200 I mean, you could tell he's he's waxing poetically about the 707 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,400 Yankees history. And you know, every other chance 708 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:10,200 he gets to talk about the great pairing of Aaron Judge and what 709 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,920 it's like to play in the Bronx and play in the boogie and, and 710 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,880 the vibe and the feel and didn't say that. 711 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,720 You know, he's he was very, very business oriented, never showed 712 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:25,320 a card, never gave us a real cue, never gave us a cue, Which 713 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,720 is why as the season went on, I'm like, there was a minute, I 714 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,520 will, I will give you this. And I've said this before. 715 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,160 There was a minute where I'm like, he's not going to leave. 716 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,080 He's not going to leave. Remember, the optics of the Mets 717 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,760 weren't very good for a big chunk of the season. 718 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,600 And I remember saying on the fan, I'm like, I think that that 719 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,920 matters a little bit. Now, the Mets obviously wound up 720 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,680 having a very unexpected run. You know, Viantos went bonkers 721 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,520 in the postseason. Mets almost got to the World 722 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,200 Series, blah, blah, blah. But like if the Mets wore A-77 723 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,800 win team with no juice, empty seats, you know, weeknights in 724 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,160 September, no Pennant race, no stretch run, no real interest, 725 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,480 nothing palpable about the Mets except that they were having 726 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,239 another Mets like season. Well, then I I think that that 727 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,719 would have been worse because I think it gave Juan Soto a chance 728 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,040 to look there and say, all right, they got a couple of 729 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,400 young players. Wow, this is what Queens is like 730 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,880 when he got 40,000 deep and they're playing playoff games 731 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,120 and and they're winning. You know, it's it's interesting. 732 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,199 It it might not be the Bronx and that's for other people to 733 00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:29,920 judge. I'm, I'm not a player, so I 734 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,920 can't possibly judge that, but I thought if the Mets really 735 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,719 languished for six months like they were for a while and didn't 736 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,280 finish strong, I think that optically that would have been 737 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,800 bad for Juan Soto going to the Mets. 738 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,400 Now, maybe it wouldn't have been maybe the ultimate concessions 739 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,880 that the Mets were willing to make that the Yankees did not. 740 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,800 Which by the way, I respect the Yankees not doing all the things 741 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,679 the Mets did. The Mets did that because the 742 00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:55,360 Mets had to like the Mets had to present an over the top 743 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,200 presentation and make these massive concessions that quite 744 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,160 frankly the Yankees have never had to have made made. 745 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,480 Now, if that's if this is going to keep going like say like a 746 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,080 school bowl or what if a schemes becomes a free agent, whatever 747 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,480 it might be, well then I might be sitting here in a couple of 748 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,640 years saying, yo, maybe the Yankees do need to make in such 749 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,560 good concessions because the Yankee brand is not selling it, 750 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,520 which by the way, it's not. But if it ever hits that point 751 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,360 where it's undeniable, because the Yankees have some great 752 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,480 players and Max Reed wanted to come here, Gary Cole wanted to 753 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,760 come here, right? So, and I think I feel like 754 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,120 Schemes wants to come here, but you never really know until you 755 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,840 know, it's just a lot of nonsensical, petty, juvenile 756 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,680 noise. And you continue to feed it. 757 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,560 You continue to lead into it. So Yankee fans just cut the 758 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,240 nonsense, man. Worry about the Yankees and I 759 00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:45,120 know I can say this. I could get I could get even 760 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,920 louder and I could curse. There's no need to, but I could, 761 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,640 you know, get this. I could give you a 32nd viral 762 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,200 clip. That's wow, wow, what BT went 763 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:54,280 off. I'm not trying to go off on 764 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,240 anybody. I'm just telling you to do just 765 00:35:56,240 --> 00:36:00,360 get a grip if you're a Yankee fan that's still so consumed 766 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,120 with Juan Soto. I mean, you got to stop 767 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,880 tripping. You know, you talk about the Fat 768 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,520 Boys before again, again, I throw where, you know, a little 769 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,520 bit after the Fat boys, but we'll throw the word tripping. 770 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:10,920 You tripping. You bugging? 771 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,560 You bugging? That was the word that we used 772 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:13,720 before tripping. You were bugging. 773 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,120 I don't get it. I really don't get it. 774 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,640 Pay attention to the Yankees. It's a pretty damn good story. 775 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,680 You know what I mean? My God Almighty, it's played out 776 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,760 Charlie F6675 Charles, what's happening, buddy Sotos played 777 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,800 for the Yankees for one year, so it makes no sense to have an 778 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,320 extended amount of hatred for the guy. 779 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,320 He played for a longer time for the Nats and the pods Yanks 780 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,160 pivoted with fried and belly yes. 781 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,920 Now I happen to really like the Yankee pivot. 782 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,360 What would have been the this is a little bit, you know, in a 783 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,320 different direction, but what would have been the great move? 784 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,320 What would have been the old Yankee way was to, you know, 785 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,760 just throw more money and get Soto and make him not able to 786 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,240 say no. So you keep Soto and Oh yeah, by 787 00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:59,040 the way, you also get Max freed, you know, and then maybe you get 788 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,440 Belly to play first base. Like that's what George would 789 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,440 have done. But I'm not getting into a 790 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,160 George Howell thing. That's not the point of this. 791 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,400 The point is toward the fans. I don't know what percentage it 792 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,000 is. If you're playing the Mets, 793 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,080 that's one thing. Have at it, have fun. 794 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,400 All bets are off. Just keep it verbal, not 795 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,440 physical. Obviously, I'm not here to 796 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:16,800 preach, but most of you know that. 797 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,280 But to hear a bleep you so Roto Chan against the Marlins is the 798 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:26,120 height of idiocy and pettiness. And again, you just given Met 799 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,040 fans fodder to clown you because you do look like a clown when 800 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,200 you do that. It's not original, it's not 801 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,080 funny, it's not witty. Well, again, I've got to say one 802 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,400 more thing. I've got to reiterate this. 803 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,840 Juan Soto, it was a good dude here. 804 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:44,320 Juan Soto comported himself like an absolute pro because he is an 805 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,120 absolute pro. You know, up until this, this 806 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,440 stint on the AIL, you know, Juan Soto hadn't been on the injury 807 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:51,520 list. I think it was 2020. 808 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,400 Yeah, it was right after COVID 2021. 809 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,240 This guy shows up every day in place. 810 00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:00,280 I mean, this guy is as immersed in the craft of hitting, maybe 811 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,840 not defense, but the art of hitting, doing his job as a 812 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,320 hitter. I think. 813 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,200 I'm not saying he's the best hitter of all time by any 814 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,560 stretch, but I don't know anybody that dives that deeply 815 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:17,160 into the nuance and nuances of hitting and trying to be great 816 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,200 everyday. He's been blessed with 817 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,800 incredible talent, hand eye, quick reflexes, you know, good 818 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,560 strong body. But that man is a worker. 819 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:30,480 He is a blue collar baseball player who loves to hit and 820 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,120 quite frankly has no time for all the other bullshit. 821 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,080 You know, really he just doesn't have time for that. 822 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,400 He's there to play ball. So he left. 823 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:39,960 He's going to flourish again with the Mets and we'll see what 824 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,280 the Mets do as a team. But guys, enough I mean it. 825 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,160 You know, I'm trying to, I'm trying to help you out here. 826 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,880 I don't know, J Rod, you got to feel me on this, right? 827 00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:52,560 Oh, big Tom. I mean, what are what are we 828 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,680 still doing talking about? This I don't know. 829 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,280 I don't know. You want to tell me like I'll 830 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,920 give you a couple examples like Big Papi, even though he was 831 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,320 kind of a lovable figure. Maybe Pedro's better example, 832 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,400 right. Who's your daddy? 833 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,160 Who's your daddy? Like those are good quotes. 834 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,800 Like those are good chance that just bang off the stadium. 835 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,920 They just the resounding chance that take over the entire 836 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,560 borough. You want to tell me like, say, 837 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,440 back in the day, Kevin Garnett with the Celtics, when he said 838 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,560 what he said about Carmelo's wife, about the the Cheerios? 839 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,840 Comment Oh my. God, I know you know that. 840 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,360 Well, you want to tell me what you want to get. 841 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,520 You want to go in on that, get personal, go for it. 842 00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:30,480 He comes in as a net. Go for it. 843 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,400 There's been other figures like Alonzo Mourning or, you know, 844 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,000 with the fight with Larry Johnson, Reggie Miller, 845 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,360 obviously, Jordan. I mean, even though you know, 846 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,080 Jordan's a little different because even Knick fans, you 847 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,600 almost have to love Jordan because of the sneakers and just 848 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,880 the incredible greatness that he showed every night. 849 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:48,960 He's he's almost beyond reproach. 850 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,000 He's different than the other guys. 851 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,960 But I get it. You want to do the Potvin Sucks 852 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,120 chant. You still want to do that? 853 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,840 Rangers Isles, go for it. It makes no sense. 854 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,880 It's not funny and it's not creative. 855 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,240 I'm done. I'm done telling you how I feel. 856 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,600 Now it's up to you to get the memo and start acting a little 857 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,720 bit more mature. Honestly, just pick up something 858 00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:10,080 new that that actually is applicable to now to now. 859 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,760 No, I mean, it's like, it's like you just obviously like beating 860 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,280 a dead horse is a light way to put it, but like you got to just 861 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,840 find something new. You got to get you got to rather 862 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,080 than tearing someone down, how about you get excited? 863 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,160 How about you pump yourself up for the season rather than, you 864 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,480 know, harping back on old kind of old news? 865 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,920 Regurgitating an old story. Now, listen, I will say that 866 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,120 Yankee fans are incredibly able to juggle both. 867 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,120 Like, hey, I will say now I got to give them credit. 868 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,680 It's not like you have to do 1 and you can't do the other. 869 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,040 Like, you know, the Super chant that busted out on Sunday does 870 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,600 not prevent Yankee fans from being awesome in every other 871 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,120 way. They're always there. 872 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,640 You know, the Yankees don't need their owner to control them. 873 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,600 To come out and watch the team like like Cohen did with the 874 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:54,880 Mets. And Met fans responded. 875 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,440 Credit to the Mets fans for doing that right. 876 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,000 It was also incumbent upon Cohen to give him something to come 877 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,400 out for on a Tuesday night in September against the Marlins or 878 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,920 against the Twins. You know, you got to be in a 879 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,160 Pennant race when kids are back in school. 880 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,640 And, you know, they we'll see ultimately where the Cohen era 881 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,040 winds up. Yankee fans are the best, in my 882 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,360 opinion. Yankee fans are the best 883 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,400 baseball fans in in America. Yeah, that's, that's a 884 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,600 subjective take that's obviously debatable. 885 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,440 Other fans could take claim to that, including Mets fans. 886 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,840 They could say that. That's my opinion because 887 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,560 they're always there, they're always vocal and their IQ is 888 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,800 through the roof. But when you are dropping F 889 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,960 bombs toward a player who's gone and it's not like it's the first 890 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,280 year, even if it was, you know, 2025 opening day and Juan Soto's 891 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,160 playing with the Mets, his first game and the Yankees home opener 892 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,080 playing whom I forget who. They opened up the Giants. 893 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,680 And I don't know, I think it was the Giants, whatever. 894 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,280 And and they bust out that chance just to give him a little 895 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,520 needle, 1 little, you know, one last FU for Lee. 896 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,920 OK, I don't I wouldn't say I wouldn't say it. 897 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,520 I think there you go. That that that fits. 898 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,480 You're hurt, you're wounded. Let it out. 899 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:55,960 It's cathartic enough. Enough. 900 00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:01,080 Hey, how about my guy Booney? Aaron Boone last night I got 901 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,240 something on him, got something on Cam Schlittler, have 902 00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:07,360 something on Mendoza and then something on Tarek School. 903 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,680 I got to bounce after I got to get probably about an hour show 904 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,440 today. All right, so obviously the a 905 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,720 started a right-handed batter, right-handed pitcher. 906 00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:16,800 Ryan McMahon is atrocious like this is. 907 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,120 We all know this Ryan McMahon is horrendous. 908 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,000 He is. He's one of the worst hitting 909 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,040 third baseman I've ever seen. I feel like the moment that he 910 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,360 gets in the Battles box, it's strike one at strike two. 911 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,920 He's an absolute whiff machine. His K rate is through the roof. 912 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:32,880 Now. He happens to be a great fielder 913 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,400 and that's not an over exaggeration. 914 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,280 Ryan McMahon is a sublime defensive player. 915 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,200 And with lefties like Frieden Rodon, with those cutters and 916 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,280 those movement in toward the ankles on righties, I've talked 917 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,720 about this before, the ground ball rate, they're going to be 918 00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:49,160 banging a lot of balls into the dirt and you need somebody like 919 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,360 Greg Nettles over there and he's not that far offering. 920 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,200 Greg Nettles. Oh, it's blasphemy. 921 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,520 I mean, Nettles made some incredible diving plays and 922 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,880 regularly, but also in the World Series and same with Brooks 923 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,080 Robinson. But I don't know, like night 924 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,920 tonight. I mean, this guy's as reliable 925 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,840 and as good as anybody I've seen play third base. 926 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,680 I really mean that. But he stinks as a hitter. 927 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,480 So, and he's in the what is he? He's he's 2 for 23 with 11 928 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,920 strikeouts. The guy's a mess, you know, and 929 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,520 I don't think there's going to be any uptick. 930 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,640 Of course, he's going to eventually run into a few, hit a 931 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,600 couple of home runs and have a month where he hits 280 and he 932 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,960 looks functional. But it'll be a mirage at the end 933 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,480 of the day. I want Ryan McMahon in terms of 934 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,240 getting 3 or 4. They want to put him in late 935 00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:28,760 last night like they did for defense. 936 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,680 That's fine. Do the same thing in October. 937 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,760 That is not a guy that I want and, you know, in the bottom 938 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,360 third, in the ninth spot, especially if 7-8 and nine 939 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,960 stinks now. 789 last night did some damage. 940 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,960 Rosario, a couple of bombs, Caballero stole the base. 941 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,840 Well, was on base. But those three guys, they just 942 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,880 don't trust, you know, that. We'll see what Volpe is because 943 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,240 he's going to come back and take Caballero's job immediately. 944 00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:52,800 And he should, because Caballero has not distinguished himself 945 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,680 enough. But the point is, Boone had a 946 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,240 decision to make last night. Now I'm not going to go over the 947 00:43:57,240 --> 00:44:01,520 top and say, you know, it was it was like Casey Stengel or Miller 948 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,920 Huggins like or Billy Martin like because he decided to sit 949 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,680 down somebody who was in the throes of an anemic funk and 950 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,240 there's no signs of him busting out. 951 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,640 But all right, that's easy to bench that guy. 952 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,280 Anybody could do that. But it was a righty, right? 953 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:16,760 There was a right-handed pitcher, obviously. 954 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,960 And listen, Rosario hit the first home run and then lighter 955 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,400 was in there formerly of the Yankees and and obviously a 956 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:27,000 veteran lighter, mark lighter and he let Rosario hit again and 957 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,080 he rockets. I mean that ball, they estimated 958 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,360 that it went 417. I didn't think he had that kind 959 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,440 of juice. I know he crushes lefties and 960 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,680 he's good and I like that they have them for the bench as a 961 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,960 hitter. And it was a great clubhouse guy 962 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,480 really into it. Energetic, which is good for the 963 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,000 Yankees. It's good for the morale and the 964 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,400 day-to-day chemistry of the team. 965 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,360 But he's going to play selectively here. 966 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,280 Aaron made a decision last night. 967 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,400 And if you going to get on Aaron Boone, whether it's here or 968 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,280 social media or on the air and some of it's justified for sure, 969 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,320 whether it's the Cortez stuff in the World Series or the even the 970 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,480 9th inning against the Marlins over the weekend, that cost of 971 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:01,800 the game. I get it. 972 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,200 You know, he's not perfect. I I love Boone and I consider 973 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,800 him a friend and I respect him and I think he's a great person 974 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,880 and a good manager, but he definitely does things that I 975 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,360 scratch my head with sometimes. But last night was not as easy 976 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,200 as maybe some of you think, because what you would be 977 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,080 thinking is all right, you know, hey, let's run them out there 978 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,040 against the righty and maybe, you know, he bust out of it, but 979 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,400 you benched him and you had Rosario who hadn't played since 980 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,120 April 1st. So he was a little rusty. 981 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,720 Hits, not one hits two, including the game-winning three 982 00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:34,520 run shot in the 8th inning. So good for Booney, you know, 983 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,880 and then again, he did have that second decision when Lighter was 984 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,480 on the mound. Could have gone in a different 985 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,280 direction, elected not to love it. 986 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,080 Cam Schlittler, All right. And by the way, real fast and 987 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:45,320 you're seeing this with the Mets a little bit. 988 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:46,760 Maurizio gets called up, gets the hit. 989 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,640 I'll get to them in a minute. But one of the great things 990 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,160 about a really good baseball team, and we don't know yet how 991 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,480 good any of these teams outside of the Dodgers, you know, and we 992 00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,480 know the Yankees have talent, the Mets have talent. 993 00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,560 And the Blue Jay, like we know who has talent. 994 00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,000 But like, the Tigers look awful right now and they're supposed 995 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,840 to win the division, right? I think they're four and seven, 996 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:09,640 whatever it is the, you know, a 25 man roster. 997 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,080 You know, you got your studs, you got your 3 hitter, you got 998 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,840 your 4 hitter, you got your top 2-3 pitchers, got your closer, 999 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:15,960 you got your, you know, shortstop. 1000 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,040 Hopefully he could pick it. Catcher's good behind the plate, 1001 00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:20,200 center fielder good. And you know, go get it. 1002 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,800 A right fielder with a good arm. First baseman could handle the 1003 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,400 leather, right? You, you, you know what, you 1004 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,360 know, the main components of every team, right? 1005 00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:32,520 But a really good team is a team that can do something like the 1006 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,560 Yanks and Mets did yesterday and last night, you know, go to 1007 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,880 somebody who doesn't play much, bang, two home runs going to a 1008 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,520 guy who just got called up. Mauricio, Boom, line drive base 1009 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,840 hit. Like to utilize all those 1010 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,720 players, especially for it's, it's kind of, well, it's not 1011 00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:50,440 easier to work a bullpen, But I, I, I think it's a little bit 1012 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,560 quote UN quote, easier to get guys in games because you know, 1013 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:57,320 the score mop up situations, you know, splits, lefty lefties, 1014 00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,600 righty righties, whatever it might be. 1015 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,200 You can kind of lean on things and you can lean on the numbers 1016 00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:02,680 from a pinch hitting point of view as well. 1017 00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,320 But I do think that there's probably a little bit more gut 1018 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:10,120 if, if you're open to that as a manager with pinch hitting and 1019 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,040 running a guy out there who might not have favorable splits 1020 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,040 against a certain guy, but he's on a hot streak, you know what, 1021 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,360 we're going to roll the dice, run them out there and it works. 1022 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,840 Or if it doesn't, it doesn't. But you're starting to see that 1023 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,760 both of these teams have some very useful players at the end 1024 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,400 of the bench, which is why, especially if Volbee comes back 1025 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,840 and can just be functional with the bat. 1026 00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,760 Now Caballero goes back into that super sub role. 1027 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,880 He's on base, he's still in second, he's on 2nd, probably 1028 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,440 still in 3rd. You know, Rice is the man judges 1029 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,160 the best. So Belly's a really good player. 1030 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,000 But those Rosarios, those Caballeros guys like that, it's 1031 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,400 it's really important to to be able to to utilize those 1032 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,680 players. Something about Cam Slitler last 1033 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,040 night, he labored a little bit, right. 1034 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,960 This is why I love him. See, to me when you have a great 1035 00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,920 and I believe he is a great young pitcher and you know what 1036 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,160 that implies? Not saying he's a great pitcher. 1037 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,040 I need more evidence he's going in that direction. 1038 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,720 He's ascending, but he is a great, undeniable young pitcher. 1039 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,960 You ask anybody in baseball, I know Buster had this and some 1040 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,720 others did this as well on MLB Network. 1041 00:48:14,240 --> 00:48:16,880 A lot of people think that right now he's a top ten pitcher in 1042 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,360 baseball. Alright, maybe a little bit 1043 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:23,080 ambitious toward the back 10, not toward one, but the point is 1044 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:29,160 he is looked at as basically a future star if his body holds up 1045 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:30,840 right. He did have his best stuff last 1046 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,000 night and I hesitate to use the word here, but I will just to 1047 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:35,800 keep it moving. The great ones. 1048 00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,560 When you go out there and a single pitch is not working and 1049 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,080 you've got to abandon a game plan based on what the scouting 1050 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,400 report says and what you plan to do. 1051 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,040 But it's just the feels not there any pitch you can be 1052 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,880 locating A fastball strike one. It's not just a cutter or the 1053 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,000 secondary stuff, right? It's not there. 1054 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,640 And then maybe you go back to it middle frames and you rediscover 1055 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,680 the field and now you're you're you're kind of going back to how 1056 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,960 you wanted a pitch when a pitch is not there or your command of 1057 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,520 the zone is not there. And it was not there for Cam 1058 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,560 Schlitter in the third inning when he gave up all all the 1059 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,160 runs, three runs and four, the five hits that he gave up in the 1060 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,760 game. It's I'm not judging you on that 1061 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,040 inning where you get knocked around. 1062 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:15,280 Everybody's going to give up hits. 1063 00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:19,720 I'm get, I'm judging you, how you react and what chance you 1064 00:49:19,720 --> 00:49:23,560 give your team to hang on and rally from the deficit that they 1065 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:27,280 put you in by being able to have other shutdown innings. 1066 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,920 First inning shut down, second inning shut down. 3rd inning got 1067 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,320 got knocked around a little bit. You know, I think he threw 27 or 1068 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,720 28 pitches, 3 earned runs as I said, and four of the five hits 1069 00:49:36,720 --> 00:49:39,920 he gave up. But he didn't, he didn't add gas 1070 00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:44,400 to it by walking three guys walk, none struck out seven. 1071 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,640 So he went out there and he may have had good stuff to begin 1072 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,120 with, and then it abandoned him. He lost it. 1073 00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,760 But in totality, he was kind of probably in the B minus range. 1074 00:49:55,240 --> 00:49:59,200 But if he wasn't as dialed in and as resilient as he obviously 1075 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:03,680 is, that B minus or or or B turns into D stuff. 1076 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,720 And instead, instead of giving up three runs, he gives up five 1077 00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:09,640 or six, puts the bullpen in a worst spot, which obviously 1078 00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,760 impacts today moving forward. And he goes, you know, he goes 1079 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,440 three in the third. He's sit in the showers, Yankees 1080 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,280 are down 71 and it's a game that they probably don't come back 1081 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:19,760 and win. And Rosario doesn't have a 1082 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,560 chance to go deep and hit a three run bomb and be the hero. 1083 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,000 That stuff adds up. It adds up for the bullpen, 1084 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,640 keeping them fresh and it really adds up to more fuel in my 1085 00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:33,080 belief that Cam Schlittler is untouchable. 1086 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:38,680 Untouchable including school and including schemes. 1087 00:50:38,720 --> 00:50:41,240 And I know that that sounds nuts, but I did that on a 1088 00:50:41,240 --> 00:50:42,680 previous show. I'm not going to reset it now. 1089 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,000 Go find it if you want to check it out. 1090 00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,760 So he, you know, he wasn't it was 27 pitches. 1091 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:50,120 By the way, something else on Ben Rice, you know, and he 1092 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:51,760 talked about this. I was laughing myself when I 1093 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,560 read it this morning online. He was talking about how last 1094 00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:59,400 year when he was in a little bit of a funk, he went to this is, I 1095 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,720 don't know if every player would admit this because you're 1096 00:51:01,720 --> 00:51:03,920 basically saying that I was scuffling and I was looking for 1097 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,680 validation in numbers. He said the quote is I went to 1098 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:10,520 my to my baseball savant page and I wanted to get a, a deeper 1099 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,880 sense of some of the underlying metrics where I was. 1100 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,920 Now, I mean, in the most, you know, basic one-on-one 1101 00:51:18,240 --> 00:51:20,880 description of what, what he meant by that, right? 1102 00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,760 I'm hitting a bad luck, but I want to see if the bad luck is 1103 00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,960 really truly reflective of how I'm swinging the bat. 1104 00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:30,040 And, and it was obviously, which is why I've always pointed out 1105 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,960 nine offensive categories. He's in the red, he's in the 90 1106 00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,680 percentile and which one of the reasons why I think eventually 1107 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:39,280 he will be the Y3 hitter for, you know, 6-7 years. 1108 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:40,720 He didn't come up when he was like 22. 1109 00:51:40,720 --> 00:51:42,680 That's why I'm saying 6 or 7, not more. 1110 00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,280 But anyway, quickly on Ben Wright hit. 1111 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,040 Everybody knows he's hitting 370. 1112 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,000 He's got a he's got a Major League best Opsi know it's 1113 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,320 early, but you got to react to something, right? 1114 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,480 Because I promise you, if he was hitting 119 and his OPS was 512 1115 00:51:55,720 --> 00:51:58,920 and he had a strikeout rate of 33, some of you would be coming 1116 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,520 at me saying, dude, you see, you overreacted when you said that 1117 00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,920 Ben Rice was going to be great. No, this is not my final stamp 1118 00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,400 validation because there's a lot of baseball to go. 1119 00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:10,440 I'm just saying that this is another little checkpoint that 1120 00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:14,360 my eyes and my instincts in looking at young players is 1121 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,800 right in this regard, right? So OPS through the roof. 1122 00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:21,000 Number one in baseball, he's got the second highest average exit 1123 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,120 below second in all the baseball #2 means he always hits the ball 1124 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,320 hard. And #3 he is first to validate 1125 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:29,920 what I just said in hard hit rate. 1126 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,560 All right, which is obviously slight. 1127 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,800 I mean it's all derived from the same thing, but slightly 1128 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,000 different from exit below. So Betty Rice is cooking, can 1129 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,920 Schlittler is cooking, Yankees bench is cooking. 1130 00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,720 Yankees look good. Good job by Mendoza yesterday. 1131 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,840 That was that was a good win for the Mets here. 1132 00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,760 And the more wins that they could bag without Soto, they're 1133 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,520 undefeated, the more I think it's going to galvanized the 1134 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:58,000 team and it's going to give certain players ownership and 1135 00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,160 like embolden them to feel more like they're part of the team. 1136 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,720 Like of the Antos who was buried for the first week of the 1137 00:53:03,720 --> 00:53:07,600 season, like a Mauricio just got called up and the decision here, 1138 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:12,280 and this is different from what Boone did by sitting McMahon and 1139 00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,600 unconventionally against the numbers Rosario, you know, 1140 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:19,160 pounds lefties, not much against righties started against the 1141 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,400 righty kept them in there against the righty two home 1142 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:22,840 runs. This is different. 1143 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:27,120 This is even more of a gut reaction and and a gut feel and 1144 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,680 props to Mendy, who you know, I was on last year. 1145 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,160 I loved his first year. I was on I was on him last year. 1146 00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,960 Didn't handle the bullpen well, didn't like some of the in game 1147 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,800 moves. I'm not going to re document it 1148 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,800 now and re litigate it. It was what it was and I 1149 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,000 believed it and and I was right. A lot of people that follow 1150 00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,760 baseball agreed with that. So to me, this was kind of let 1151 00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,920 let let's evaluate who Mendoza is this year. 1152 00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:50,440 Year 1 was great. Year 2 was and year 3 did not 1153 00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,360 start well. Guys getting thrown out at home 1154 00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,160 plate against the Pirates with, with soda with, with Lindor on 1155 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,960 the soda double, Lindor kicking the ball around a little bit. 1156 00:53:57,960 --> 00:53:59,720 Lindor getting picked off first base. 1157 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,120 You know what? He's looking at his oven Mitt 1158 00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,960 not paying attention. Alvarez in that series. 1159 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:06,200 And maybe that was the next series. 1160 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:07,840 No, it was that game. I think it was that series. 1161 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:09,760 Yeah. No, it was at the Pirates. 1162 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,560 Either way, early on, there was a ball in front of Alvarez where 1163 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:15,960 he looked down the runner at third base and he held them. 1164 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,160 But there was a guy on 1st and he didn't hustle after the ball 1165 00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:20,480 and the guy went from first to second. 1166 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,280 He got bailed out. Either way, the Mets look sloppy 1167 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,400 to start the year. They have turned that around in 1168 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:31,720 a big, good, reassuring way. Now, when you take the bat out 1169 00:54:31,720 --> 00:54:34,280 of I think the first decision was much tougher. 1170 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,160 You take the bat out of Vientos's hands. 1171 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,720 It was having a rough day, but it's the hottest met right now, 1172 00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:40,800 right? And you pinch it. 1173 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,560 That was that was. Wait, was that Jared Young? 1174 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,400 Hold on. You pinch it. 1175 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,160 Yes, you pinch it, Jared Young for vientos. 1176 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,040 All right interesting move gets a SAC fly ties to game of three. 1177 00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,640 Now you've got a spot where Mauricio just gets called up. 1178 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,720 Hasn't had in a bat yet. These are the miners Taylors up, 1179 00:55:01,720 --> 00:55:04,000 which is an easier decision because Taylor can't hit, but 1180 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:05,920 you throw the young buck up there and there's two ways to 1181 00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,680 look at it. All right, I'm going to throw 1182 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,760 the young man to the fire, see how he responds. 1183 00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,640 We like him as a player and and put him in a very high leverage, 1184 00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,840 high pressure spot where if he comes through, that can really 1185 00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,920 propel him emotionally and maybe lock him in. 1186 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,120 And maybe we really do. And I'm not as big a Mauricio 1187 00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,040 fan of some others, but maybe I'll be proven wrong. 1188 00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,120 Great start yesterday. But the converse to that is 1189 00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,960 maybe you want to ease in a young kid in in a more benign 1190 00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,040 situation. He went for the pressure filled 1191 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,760 situation, as much pressure as there could be in in early 1192 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:36,440 April. But he just got back from the 1193 00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,440 Miners. Pinch hit, you know, good crowd, 1194 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,080 wild. Nice comeback by the Mets, 1195 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,360 Peralta and want to see him start pitching better. 1196 00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,000 And bang, rips an absolute missile to right field. 1197 00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:47,280 Mets win when he hits for Taylor. 1198 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,680 So you saw a little gut from Boonie last night. 1199 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,160 You saw a little gut from Carlos Mendoza. 1200 00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,240 Yankees look good. Mets look good. 1201 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,120 Hit you on the Fernando Mendoza stuff. 1202 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:56,880 Let me give you this. Then. 1203 00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,040 I got to bounce. Jay, get a couple of comments up 1204 00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:00,520 there. I want to get a few in here. 1205 00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,480 Things that you think are good. Lindor should start every season 1206 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,560 on the IL and start in late May. That's when he wakes up. 1207 00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,160 Yeah, it is what it is. I mean, Rob Ryan, thank you for 1208 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,040 that. I might just get a bag on 1209 00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:14,160 Lindor, you know, but it is what I mean, you know, I understand 1210 00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,280 that you can explain away a lot of his slow. 1211 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:18,720 Well, I mean, you can try to explain away. 1212 00:56:18,720 --> 00:56:22,720 I I really don't because to me, you know, and I don't I don't 1213 00:56:22,720 --> 00:56:24,240 just lean on will the numbers will be there. 1214 00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:25,200 I'm not just talking about Lindor. 1215 00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,440 I'm talking about anybody. Like to me, the great hitters. 1216 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,280 Here we go another Lindor microdissection of Francisco 1217 00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:33,880 Lindor. It's not intentional, but I and 1218 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:37,680 it's not a diss, but it's my way of viewing him differently from 1219 00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:41,360 some of the other absolute, undeniable superstars in the 1220 00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,160 game, right? And you know who they are. 1221 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:44,960 It's a short list and Lindor's not on it. 1222 00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:50,520 He's the next list, right? But Aaron Judge Soto, I know a 1223 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,480 little slug as Ledger with the Mets, but new situation, 1224 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:58,400 whatever those kind of guys. Wait for the Royals, you know, 1225 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:04,440 Henderson Otani, like they don't always start out, you know, 1226 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:08,600 hitting 160 in April, just grinding through, you know, 1227 00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,360 60-70, largely unproductive at bats. 1228 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,080 And I know that he generally gets his numbers there. 1229 00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:15,400 The power's there. He steals. 1230 00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:17,360 He's usually a good fielder. Last year he was not. 1231 00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,360 His defensive metrics took a big step back and he doesn't look 1232 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,000 very good this year. So that's a story we got to 1233 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,960 follow when we will. But it it's it is hard to argue 1234 00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:27,760 with the totality of his production. 1235 00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:29,680 But like, that's not good enough. 1236 00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,280 That's the easy way out to be a superstar. 1237 00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,080 And that's been my only criticism of Lindor. 1238 00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,920 I tell I grant you, he's a star, but if you're a superstar, you 1239 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,960 can't have these wild fluctuations in performance. 1240 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,360 Now you can. And if you still choose to label 1241 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,240 him a superstar, then our definition of a superstar is 1242 00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:48,240 just a little different. That's fine. 1243 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,320 Not mad at you. We just view it differently. 1244 00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:51,560 We look at it through a different prism. 1245 00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:55,200 If you're a superstar, I got to know and that you know, within 1246 00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,040 the first 7-8 games of the season, you're going to get 1247 00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,160 crack in here and you're going to, you have a decent April, 1248 00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:01,680 you're getting it off to a good start and you're going to be 1249 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,120 going downhill the rest of the year. 1250 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,600 And the numbers will be reflective of whatever they are 1251 00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:07,880 for you historically. And every player is different, 1252 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:09,960 you know, so that that's my knock with him. 1253 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,400 But no, I mean, obviously you're joking around starting in the 1254 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,120 minors or in the IL, whatever it was. 1255 00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:16,440 No, I, I just wish you could be more consistent. 1256 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,760 And he's not, but he's done it basically every year he's been 1257 00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,200 here. So to yell about it, I, I, you 1258 00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:25,080 know, and to find the reasoning. I, I cold weather, I, I don't 1259 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,920 know, I don't have the absolute answer for you, but it's a 1260 00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:29,760 thing. And, and you know, if Soto 1261 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,160 really is out, say let's say worst case, they said three 1262 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,320 weeks, Mehndi said two to three, let's say it's the worst end of 1263 00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:40,080 that and it's 3 weeks here and Save the Antos cools down and 1264 00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,200 you know, Bichette showing signs and he's going to, I love 1265 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:46,160 Bichette, but let's say he's not really ready to join the party. 1266 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:50,520 You know, if Lindor has another shitty April and the other 1267 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:53,000 components aren't there. And even if say when Soto comes 1268 00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:56,080 back, he's a little rusty and he kind of scuffles a bit, which is 1269 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:57,160 possible. He's a human. 1270 00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,120 Well, you know, I mean, the Mets are now 7:00 and 4:00, so they 1271 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:01,800 stabilize things. But if they didn't correct 1272 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,000 things with this four-game win streak, those those those those 1273 00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,160 little mini streaks in the wrong direction add up. 1274 00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:11,080 So again, I'm not going nuts on the door today, but you asked me 1275 00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:12,400 the question or you, you made the point. 1276 00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,440 It is what it is. Pedro says the Mets need to 1277 00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,560 throw, need, need to move Mendy out. 1278 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,640 I didn't see that. I don't need Pedro to tell me 1279 00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:22,840 that. I've said that before the start 1280 00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:25,360 of the season. We talked about it last year. 1281 00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:26,760 Some of you chimed in on the fan. 1282 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,360 Mendy's on the hot seat. Mendy should be on the hot seat. 1283 00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:30,160 Mendy. Some. 1284 00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,880 Well, actually, some of you took a step in a different direction 1285 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,360 like some of you, some of you. Now, I don't know if I had to 1286 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:41,000 say percentage, maybe 15 to 20%, fairly on the low side. 1287 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,840 Wanted the Mets to fire Mendoza. I never said that. 1288 00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,440 What I did say very clearly was if it doesn't look right, if it 1289 00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,520 doesn't smell right and taste right, early this year, you 1290 00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,920 know, the Mets with the investments, you know Peralta 1291 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:57,200 now the money, the salary, the, the, the just basically their 1292 00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:00,680 salary, what they have on the books here, the expectations. 1293 01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:04,120 Like if it if it looks sloppy and the chemistry, however you 1294 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:07,840 want to quantify that wasn't there early and it really, you 1295 01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:11,360 know, languished into May and spilled into deep May, maybe 1296 01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,760 early June, then I would fire Mendoza. 1297 01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:15,560 I've said that because it's only so long. 1298 01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,800 You can accept underachievement, you know, to to an extent where 1299 01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,440 and I don't mean October underachievement, you know, 1300 01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:22,920 coming up short in September, whatever. 1301 01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:26,000 I mean, you know what, it didn't look right the previous year. 1302 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,600 You know, let's say I give you an example. 1303 01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:30,840 Let's say the Knicks lose in round two. 1304 01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,240 I would fire Mike Brown. I don't know that they will. 1305 01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,200 By the way, the Knick playoff stuff is going to be I can't 1306 01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:36,080 wait. It's coming. 1307 01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,480 Do a watch, do a I'm going to do a live watch of a Knick playoff 1308 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,360 game. A lot of Knick content. 1309 01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,160 It is coming and they're starting to look better. 1310 01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,400 We'll see. I mean, I'm I'm always hopeful, 1311 01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,160 but I don't believe they're going to win the championship. 1312 01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:50,000 I said that, but let's say they get bounced in round two, which 1313 01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,840 I think is is is a very decent possibility. 1314 01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,480 And let's say they bring Mike Brown back again. 1315 01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,400 I would not, but let's say they do and think about all the 1316 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,400 noise. Early exit didn't get as far as 1317 01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,360 Tibbs last year. You're going to hear Tibbs 1318 01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:05,120 thrust back into it. You shouldn't have fired Tom 1319 01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:06,640 Thibodeau. And maybe you can make that 1320 01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:08,920 point more clearly, more effectively. 1321 01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:13,040 If they get bounced and it's ugly and it's before Tom 1322 01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:15,240 Thibodeau's team got bounced a year ago, maybe we'll have that 1323 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:16,560 if we have to have that conversation. 1324 01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,120 But let's say the Knicks don't fire him and they bring him back 1325 01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:26,200 and the Knicks are 6:00 and 7:00, which seems unfathomable 1326 01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,160 for a shitty NBAI mean, if you just have two good players, 1327 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,560 you're not going to be 6 and seven through 13 games. 1328 01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,560 But if they are, well, then the noise will come right? 1329 01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:38,640 Immediately fire him, fire him. You know, that's just the way 1330 01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:40,040 the game goes. That's the way it goes. 1331 01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,480 Here's the way it works. Whether it's right or wrong, it 1332 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,600 is what it is. I was reading that The Jets are 1333 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:46,600 looking to trade the number two pick and there's a lot of Nate 1334 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,840 teams that are interested at Vince nine O 8. 1335 01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,200 Well, I've said that I think I actually, I really think, and 1336 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,120 I'm not just saying this to say I really think I was the first 1337 01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:59,000 one to say that I really want The Jets to be proactive and try 1338 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,880 to aggressively find somebody to trade out of the two spot. 1339 01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:03,400 And I don't have time to do it now. 1340 01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,480 We've got 15 days to the draft. I've already done it on Pryor 1341 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,080 shows. Go find it, check it out, show 1342 01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:10,640 it to you Jet fans, your friends. 1343 01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,360 I also did it on The Jets Collective, which is a new show 1344 01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,800 I do once a week with Rich the Meaty Jake, Aspen Thursday at 7, 1345 01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:20,320 episode 3 this week on YouTube. Like it, subscribe it, all that 1346 01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,200 good stuff, comment on it, share it, right? 1347 01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:28,040 The that to me was a no brainer because there's not a Locket #2 1348 01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,960 and if somebody covets Reese or Bailey or whoever else styles 1349 01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,920 Caleb Downs, not that you would take him at 2:00, but if 1350 01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:37,400 somebody running Jeremiah Love from Notre Dame running back, if 1351 01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,720 somebody loves one of those players, yo play the game, play 1352 01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:43,480 the game and get more draft equity and build this thing out 1353 01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,920 the right way, which Muji seems inclined to do. 1354 01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:49,000 It's not a Band-Aid. It's not like, hey, even though 1355 01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,560 Gino is, is, you know, a veteran, whatever, it's not 1356 01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:54,080 like, all right, let you know, we got some good players, Let's 1357 01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:55,640 do a Hail Mary. And then I was down with the 1358 01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:57,840 Rogers move. I, I, I can't contradict myself, 1359 01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:59,600 but I was excited when they got Aaron Rodgers. 1360 01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,320 We all were. It's Aaron Rodgers, man, but 1361 01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,800 they're not doing. It's not a microwave fix. 1362 01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:07,640 They got rid of some dead weight. 1363 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,320 They brought in some reliable vets like the Mario Davis for 1364 01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,880 messaging and for just to button things up. 1365 01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,280 And they got a good old line and they got to get another, pardon 1366 01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,600 me, another receiver. And they got to fix the third 1367 01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:21,040 level on day and they got to get another corner for sure, and 1368 01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,720 some more linebackers that can run and the pass rush. 1369 01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:24,760 A lot of different things, right? 1370 01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,400 It seems like they are. But at least Muji. 1371 01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,560 Now, Glenn's going to be judged differently than Muji, I 1372 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:31,760 believe, and I believe he should. 1373 01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:36,880 But Muji is going to attack this draft number one very stealthily 1374 01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:39,560 in a very stealth manner, which means whatever they're thinking, 1375 01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:41,760 we won't know. And as much as we want to know, 1376 01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:45,000 I almost don't want to know because if we don't know, I 1377 01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:46,800 mean, I could surmise and I could tell you an offer 1378 01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:48,920 conjecture on what they should do and I have. 1379 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:53,240 But if we kind of get the other Jets are to me that's a bad sign 1380 01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:55,560 that the that the holes in The Jets building haven't been 1381 01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:58,520 shored up. So it's quiet as a church mouse. 1382 01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:02,360 They got a ton of draft picks 3 next year with the ones two this 1383 01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:03,760 year. They are ready. 1384 01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,480 You just got to make the right draft picks and get the right 1385 01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,040 players. But I do think that they are 1386 01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,040 more than amenable. I think that they're actually 1387 01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:15,840 proactively seeking out a dance partner to move out of two. 1388 01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:17,920 We'll see. All right, last thing. 1389 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:23,760 So you should be, unless you're a Detroit Tigers fan, of course, 1390 01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:27,600 you should be rooting for the Tigers to implode now. 1391 01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:28,960 I don't. I don't know that they're going 1392 01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,800 to the division stinks. You'd have to imagine they'll 1393 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,840 stabilize this. And I'm not reacting after 11 1394 01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:36,360 games. They're four and seven and 1395 01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:39,120 they've lost three straight. So before this they were four 1396 01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,800 and four playing 500 bowl like a lot of teams in baseball, right 1397 01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:44,880 schedule is pretty interesting when you look at who they opened 1398 01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,480 up against three at San Diego, lot of talent. 1399 01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:49,920 But the Padres are in under 500 team right now. 1400 01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:52,640 They're 5 and 6 three at Arizona. 1401 01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,520 D backs are 5 and 6 three with the Saint Louis Cardinals at 1402 01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:58,440 home. Cardinals are little 1403 01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:00,400 surprisingly 6 and 5 little bit better. 1404 01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:02,440 And at the end of the year they'll they'll be I mean 1405 01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:04,120 they'll be ready to be a 70 something win team. 1406 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:09,560 They're terrible and they and and then 2IN, where are they 1407 01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:10,840 now? Yes. 1408 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:12,600 So they've got 36911 games there. 1409 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:14,000 All right. So as I said, they're four and 1410 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:15,080 seven. I gave you some of the teams 1411 01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:16,480 they played against. It's early. 1412 01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,400 They're a good team, not a great team, not great talent, good 1413 01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,400 talent in the shitty division, right. 1414 01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:27,520 So let's just say that four and seven becomes 8 and 14. 1415 01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,800 Probably not going to happen, but let's just say that it does 1416 01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:33,240 and this what you should be rooting for every team. 1417 01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:38,640 What if 8 and 14 becomes 12 and 21 and you can just keep playing 1418 01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:42,160 the game, Just go by, go in that direction, you know, take where 1419 01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:45,960 they are now and just replicate that start and you're going to 1420 01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:49,760 have the numbers that I just gave you, 8 and 14, etcetera. 1421 01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:55,040 Well, at that point, not necessarily in April, but if 1422 01:05:55,040 --> 01:06:00,600 that continues, they are going to have to have to trade school. 1423 01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:04,680 There's just no doubt about it. And if you are a Yankee fan, 1424 01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:06,400 although I don't think the Yankees have the prospects to 1425 01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,800 get it because the Tigers will want Ben Rice and I wouldn't 1426 01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:10,720 even by the time they I wouldn't even let them finish the 1427 01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:12,640 sentence. Click, we'll try to get him in 1428 01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,400 free agency, find somebody else. We're good because we know he's 1429 01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:17,920 going somewhere for rental and then he's hitting the open 1430 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:21,200 market, right. So I don't think the Yankees 1431 01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:24,320 have the the horses to get them. I would give up Lombard form. 1432 01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,360 They probably would as well. But I don't think he's going to 1433 01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,480 the Yanks. The Mets will be interested. 1434 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:30,640 The Dodgers are always interested. 1435 01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,040 You'd have to think the Phillies would be interested. 1436 01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,120 Maybe the Brewers as a bit of a dark horse, right? 1437 01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:42,280 They're good again, even though they lost Peralta and every year 1438 01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:43,960 lose some good players, they're good again. 1439 01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:47,040 And you know, they catch the ball, they run like they play a 1440 01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,360 good style of ball. If they could get him as a 1441 01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:51,800 rental, obviously can't pay him big picture, so they would never 1442 01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:54,520 be able to get him as a free agent, that might be enticing to 1443 01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:55,720 them. I don't really know the depth of 1444 01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:59,000 the Brewers farm system, but they generally draft and develop 1445 01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:00,400 well. So I'm sure it's it's at least 1446 01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:04,360 slightly above average. The Red Sox again, Red Sox are 1447 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,240 off to a rough start. Red Sox have some issues. 1448 01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:09,080 You know, I don't know what their appetite would be, how 1449 01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:10,680 many more great prospects they have. 1450 01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,920 Like there's, there's layers to this layers of investigation 1451 01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:18,240 Toronto. But like any team that really 1452 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,960 views themselves as a true World Series contender. 1453 01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:23,880 And I just gave you 7 of them and maybe the Padres get their 1454 01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:26,680 act together, whatever. Who am I missing? 1455 01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:28,560 Maybe the Reds. Reds are pretty good this year, 1456 01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:29,840 competitive. They were pretty good last year 1457 01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:33,000 with Francona. I don't know if I really missed 1458 01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,840 anybody. And AL Central's week, they 1459 01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:37,120 wouldn't trade them there anyway. 1460 01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:39,000 I think it pretty much gave you all the American League East 1461 01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:40,800 teams. Maybe the Braves, I'll throw 1462 01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,600 them in there as well. The more that this looks ugly 1463 01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:46,720 for the Tigers, the more they are going to feel the pressure 1464 01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,440 to trade him. And at that point, you're 1465 01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,880 trading him from a position of weakness, not strength. 1466 01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:55,840 All right. So yeah, maybe, maybe this is a 1467 01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,400 figment of my own imagination. Like, I don't think you're 1468 01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:00,880 getting somebody's good as schoolable for $0.90 on the 1469 01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:04,440 dollar. That seems highly implausible 1470 01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:06,920 because he's schoolable back to backside Young's. 1471 01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:10,360 But Tigers can't afford him, so he's not going to be a Tiger 1472 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,920 after this year. And what is the point of keeping 1473 01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:16,200 him around? Which is why this is something 1474 01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,560 else we talked about on The Fan. Like we both thought they should 1475 01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,479 have traded him this offseason. If you're if you have a player 1476 01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:25,640 like that, like the Padres did with Soto when their owner died, 1477 01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:28,240 who wanted to pay Soto, but then there was a pivot there. 1478 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:34,000 Financially, if you are 18 and you simply don't have either the 1479 01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,040 resources or the desire or both, I think the Tigers have the 1480 01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:38,720 desire. I don't think they have the 1481 01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:40,279 resources all right, economically. 1482 01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,279 So if you form one of those two categories, especially if it's a 1483 01:08:43,279 --> 01:08:47,040 lack of economics to to do it, well, you're an idiot if you 1484 01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,640 wait till the last minute because yeah, you can have six 1485 01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:51,399 or seven teams lining up to get them. 1486 01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:53,880 But think about the amount of teams that you would have in the 1487 01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:59,880 offseason if you gave school ball 32 starts in Toronto or 32 1488 01:08:59,880 --> 01:09:03,399 starts with the Mets or 32 starts with the Braves or 32 1489 01:09:03,399 --> 01:09:05,520 starts with the Yankees. Now this is a pipe dream like 1490 01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:07,399 this again, I don't think the Yankees have the horses to get 1491 01:09:07,399 --> 01:09:09,720 them because Jones is a non prospect for me. 1492 01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,120 I know Dominguez is hitting. Maybe you get something there, I 1493 01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:14,640 don't know. Lombard is his studies off to a 1494 01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:16,640 good start as well. You got some young pitching. 1495 01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:18,080 Maybe there is an enticement there. 1496 01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:21,560 But just for a second, Can you imagine, Oh my God almighty, 1497 01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:23,720 could you imagine? The Yankees traded for school 1498 01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:26,720 ball, right, and gave up nothing of value. 1499 01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,399 That's out there every day like a Rice, as I said before. 1500 01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:34,800 And their rotation ultimately in July or maybe even June would 1501 01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:39,200 be, Oh my God, Freed. Let's just play the game for a 1502 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:41,479 second. Freed Schooble. 1503 01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:48,800 Cole Schlittler and Rodon the scrub 5th starter. 1504 01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:51,760 It was really good last year. Not going to happen, Wouldn't 1505 01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:54,279 bank on it. But that's why you should really 1506 01:09:54,279 --> 01:09:57,480 hope that the Tigers just languish and just kind of fall 1507 01:09:57,480 --> 01:10:03,000 by the wayside and then just watch as the noise goes and goes 1508 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,480 in a direction that I think ultimately is going to be 1509 01:10:05,480 --> 01:10:07,800 unavoidable. You have to trade him. 1510 01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:12,360 The worse you are, the earlier, the quicker you need to trade 1511 01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,240 him. The earlier you trade him, the 1512 01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:16,520 more you get back in return. So that's their problem. 1513 01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:19,640 But it very well is going to be somebody else's solution to 1514 01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,600 maybe win in the World Series. All right, J Rod, what I miss 1515 01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:25,240 buddy add to anything? Didn't miss anything I think. 1516 01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:26,840 I think you hit a lot of great stuff. 1517 01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,840 Today, I appreciate that JJ. Now let me be honest with you 1518 01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:32,720 and and be honest dude. I want you to get to a point 1519 01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:34,960 where you feel as if you had the latitude, the freedom, the 1520 01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:37,240 respect and the juice to say this. 1521 01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:39,960 So you just said, you know, and I appreciate you saying that and 1522 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:41,560 I I think you're right. I think we had some good stuff 1523 01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:43,280 condensed show, but some good stuff. 1524 01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:44,360 Good, good stuff. I. 1525 01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,240 Thought that I thought that played into it. 1526 01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:47,680 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, maybe. 1527 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:51,040 But you just said I, you know, I presented some good stuff. 1528 01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:54,640 Would you ever say if I had a shitty show, would you and and 1529 01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:56,440 mean it without? Would you ever say, dude, 1530 01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:59,840 honestly, not one of your best shows didn't have the energy, 1531 01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:01,680 which I'll always have? The day that I don't have energy 1532 01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:02,840 is the day that I stopped doing this. 1533 01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:05,080 You didn't have energy. You didn't have anything 1534 01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,200 interesting. You were all over the map, you 1535 01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:09,440 know, you weren't buttoned up. The show was a mess. 1536 01:11:09,440 --> 01:11:14,360 Would you ever say that, J Rod? Probably not on tab, probably 1537 01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:15,040 not on the. Camera. 1538 01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:16,600 No. I want you to say it on camera, 1539 01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:18,400 man. I I I give you that card to do 1540 01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:18,960 it. Really. 1541 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:20,160 OK. My team, man. 1542 01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:21,440 Come on. Don't you know I'm a great 1543 01:11:21,440 --> 01:11:23,160 teammate? Yeah, you know that? 1544 01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:24,720 Great teammates. Best teammates? 1545 01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:27,040 That's the the.
