1 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,440 listening here and hear me? This is unleashed. 2 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:10,320 Can you hear me? Hear me hear. 3 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,600 Me, what's happening everybody, welcome back to Unleashed here. 4 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:19,040 So we've got obviously a little bit earlier today, usually go 5 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,600 off at 10, but I've got to get into the city. 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,080 I've got to do that that youth sports segment that I'm going to 7 00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:27,120 take that I'm going to tape and we'll be on on Fox on Sunday 8 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,680 night. So I got to get into the city 9 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,760 and I got a couple things to do. So I wanted to make sure we 10 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,520 don't miss a show lot going on. Obviously, you know, I'm going 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,000 to kind of skim through a couple of things. 12 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,680 The meat of the show will will obviously baseball. 13 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,800 I just think talking baseball takes cold out the snow. 14 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,440 We're digging out of it. And before you know it, you 15 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,120 know, those visions of, you know, fungal bats and the 16 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,640 beautiful sunshine is is upon us here, man. 17 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,360 So I am I am. I always feel baseball like you 18 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,520 never have to get me too ready to feel baseball energy, but I 19 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,840 feel a little bit more than I usually do today and I'll tell 20 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,800 you why in a minute. Just I want to button a couple 21 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,200 of things up here now. First of all, this, this is 22 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,920 starting to get a little bit of traction. 23 00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:07,360 We'll see where it goes. I'm obviously on. 24 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,920 I'm not going to go. I'm not going to go too deeply 25 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,440 into, but I'm obviously on the record. 26 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:11,520 The Knicks are going to win nothing. 27 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,560 So I believe they got to make a trade. 28 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,080 Time is ticking. February 5 is the deadline. 29 00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:18,320 If you can get rid of bridges, if you can get rid of Cat, 30 00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:19,920 that's obviously the move for me. 31 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,000 Everybody's thinking got us, which would be fantastic if they 32 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,200 could actually pull that off. What I do find interesting 33 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,160 though, is that now the Knicks are connected to Drew Holiday to 34 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,360 maybe make a move to get him. Obviously it could be a three 35 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,120 team trade or maybe you get him and then you further entice 36 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,440 Giannis to make a power play to get dealt only to the Knicks 37 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,920 because that's his guy. So that's certainly something we 38 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,440 got to keep an eye on here. If you have a you know, if you 39 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,360 would have a starting five, let's say of Holiday and 40 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,800 Brunson, OG Yanis and Mitchell, I mean that that's Mitchell 41 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,040 Robbins. That's that's pretty damn good. 42 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,480 That's a team that's got a better chance to win a 43 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,480 championship then then the team that's rolling out there every 44 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,800 day right now. All right, I just wanted to at 45 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,080 least address that. The other thing too, guys, is, 46 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,400 you know, obviously the Giants have had their day with 47 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,880 horrible, phenomenal, great energy, terrific guy or Giants 48 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,240 are are on the path to being corrected here. 49 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,920 Now. The other thing though, with The 50 00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:15,400 Jets very quickly, I did a lot on The Jets yesterday. 51 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,560 You know, you start to get some news trickle in. 52 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,600 I think Connor who Connor, Connor Hughes has been a really, 53 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,800 really great source for this where he's really connected some 54 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,320 dots. It looks like The Jets are very 55 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,600 serious about Frank Reich. I know, I know, Boomer addressed 56 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,920 this briefly on the show yesterday. 57 00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:34,440 Didn't refute Connor's report. O'Connor's doing some good 58 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,640 reporting, as I said. Now, the only thing that's 59 00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:39,520 interesting about this is that if The Jets were to get Frank 60 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,440 Reich and apparently it wouldn't come with the offensive 61 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,960 coordinator title, which I'm OK with, but it just does lead to a 62 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,840 little bit of confusion. At the end of the day, I am in 63 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,440 the business of getting smart, experienced people, particularly 64 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,240 experienced people in the building around Aaron Glenn 65 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,440 because he doesn't really know what the hell he's doing yet. 66 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,560 They'll think I find interesting, though, while I 67 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,960 like Frank Reich, and I've always liked Frank Reich, and 68 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,800 he's coached two different teams and he won a Super Bowl, though 69 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,440 he didn't call the plays for the Eagles. 70 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,720 Ah, this past year he was at Stanford. 71 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,720 He was the interim head coach for Andrew Luck in the Stanford 72 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,920 Cardinal, which means he's going to be able to weigh in a little 73 00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:18,560 bit on some of these college players. 74 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,760 I'm not saying he's, yeah, he's getting carte blanche to the 75 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,640 draft room, but he's just an additional resource, which is 76 00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:26,840 what smart people do, which is what The Jets never do. 77 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,520 They just roll the dice on people who have no experience 78 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,840 and hope it works where it seems like they're crafting more of a 79 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,560 plan for experience right now, which I really do like, you 80 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,920 know, But it it it does get a little, I don't know, a little 81 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,480 confusing here. Like, where is that power? 82 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,920 Where's that official play call duty coming in? 83 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,040 Because if it's going to be Tanner, who's going to be 84 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,480 retained, by the way, Tanner Angstrand, he's probably not 85 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,040 going to call the plays there. Would The Jets hire Frank Reich 86 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,920 for more like an over like an overseeing of the offense and 87 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,560 work with the quarterbacks? And he has worked with a lot of 88 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,240 different quarterbacks stylistically. 89 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,800 So I do like and I like Frank, right? 90 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,720 He's a good football man. He's been out of the NFL for a 91 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:07,960 minute. You got to calculate that at 92 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,360 least a little bit there. But I, I, I think that that that 93 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,240 feels like something that's going to happen. 94 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,079 So we're if and when he's introduced or named today or 95 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,120 tomorrow, we'll find out exactly, you know what he's 96 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,680 going to do. But I like it. 97 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,280 I I think that that excites me right there. 98 00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:26,240 Now the other thing real fast before I get into the baseball 99 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,200 here is the, you know, the defensive coordinated position. 100 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,040 What a stunner. Jets have to fill every single 101 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,200 position known to man, which obviously is not an enviable 102 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,640 position to be in. But you know the the thing with 103 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,440 Wink here. So Wink really interviewed about 104 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,520 3 days ago and there's been no contract. 105 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,280 I don't even know if there's been an offer yet. 106 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,560 I know that they value Chris Harris. 107 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,400 I'm going to need a little bit more than Chris Harris to get me 108 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,640 excited here. No disrespect to Chris Harris. 109 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,040 I do like the thought of having Frank Reich in there on offense 110 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,520 and kind of overseeing every like being the general of the 111 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,200 offense. And I do love the thought of of 112 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,520 Wink coming in here, you know, and just blitzing people. 113 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,240 And obviously the The Jets stranded a couple of guys that 114 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,520 can get to the quarterback that they need anyway, whether it's 115 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,920 Wink or somebody else. Obviously Jim Leonard's 116 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,440 appealing to me as as well, but it doesn't look like that's 117 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,200 going to happen. Now the other thing too with 118 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,800 Wink is that he was in Michigan for a couple of years. 119 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,200 So like rank like like Frank Reich for a year at Stanford and 120 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,120 Wink for a couple of years in the Big 10. 121 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,760 Again, you're just bringing people into the building that 122 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,440 have been around the NFL, that have won at the NFL level on a 123 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,480 very high level with coaches, coordinators, different 124 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,160 franchises, different types of players, different types of 125 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,240 buildings and organizational philosophies. 126 00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:45,120 I I at least the semblance of a plan, right? 127 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,000 A semblance of a plan start to take shape a little bit here for 128 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,520 the New York Jets. So if this comes to fruition, 129 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,160 I'll be happy. I'll be happy. 130 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,640 I won't be over the top because you don't want anything without 131 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,680 a quarterback. But at least it will tell me. 132 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,400 And by extension, it should tell you that at least The Jets are 133 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,880 beginning to change how they've done things. 134 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,120 Now, if this breaks down and Wink is not there and it's a 135 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,360 Chris Harris or somebody who hasn't done the job before, you 136 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,160 know, now it's like, all right, kind of seems going down the 137 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,600 same Rd. here. The other thing too real fast, 138 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,160 if you have, I don't know that you go to to wink here, but if 139 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,040 you had Ryke and wink or even just Ryke, Ryke and somebody 140 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,200 else in the building, you know, if The Jets just come stumbling 141 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,840 out of the chutes and why wouldn't they? 142 00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:31,000 They always do and they're one and five and two and six and you 143 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,560 got to make a change where it just seems untenable where you 144 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,560 have to make a change like the Giants had to make a change mid 145 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,160 season or during the season with Brian Dabel. 146 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,560 At least you can trust the team with somebody who's done it 147 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,760 before in Frank, right. So additional value there 148 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,040 experience all the stuff I just mentioned. 149 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,680 All right, so we'll see what happens with the New York Jets. 150 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,240 Now let me get to baseball here right. 151 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,760 So the thing about baseball is very interesting from a Yankee 152 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,360 to met perspective. It's it's actually very 153 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,880 different. Like you think about the mindset 154 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,640 the Mets fan and and their mindset was one that was really, 155 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,680 I would say, riddled in dissatisfaction when the team 156 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,760 was deconstructed. And now they're completely 157 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,280 energized. And I think they've gotten over 158 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,040 that, that emotional kick to the stones that players that they 159 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,680 love are no longer there. Like the Mets fans been 160 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,320 energized now, especially with the I mean, it's one thing to 161 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,520 get both, but shit. And that's really good. 162 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,280 I wish the Yankees would have been on in on him. 163 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,880 I've said that a few times, but now you go out there and get 164 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,760 Peralta. We don't even know if the New 165 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,840 York Mets are done. You got to send a fielder with 166 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,440 some upside, like you've done some things before that a second 167 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,080 baseman who can catch it. So the defense up the middle is 168 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,080 better. You know, you got some quality 169 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,680 clutch bats. I think the Met fan right now is 170 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,120 in it is in a pretty good place emotionally. 171 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,760 I think that they think that they still have a chance at 172 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,000 school, which I would agree with as well if and when the Tigers 173 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,400 decide to trade him. I think the Mets fans also think 174 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,000 that maybe there's another move to be had, whether it's a 175 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,760 starting pitcher, whatever it might be. 176 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,080 And by the way, the kid Tobias Myers, who was in that trade 177 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,200 with Peralta, somebody that I think is pretty interesting. 178 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,960 So I don't want to get in the weeds on him. 179 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,320 But like that's the Mets. That's the Mets fan energy right 180 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,560 now, the Yankee. And I want to disprove something 181 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,360 here or at least re establish some sanity like the Yankee fan 182 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,320 is, is obviously disgusted. And and let's face it, one thing 183 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,440 that I will say and I get to discuss to A to a large extent, 184 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,000 because it's been the same old thing, the same old 185 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,799 regurgitation every year. We complain about cash. 186 00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:35,640 We complain about how that he doesn't spend enough, which by 187 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,919 the way does. It's not really how's fault that 188 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,440 the people who he pays a lot of money to, to build out a 189 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,640 franchise with all the resources that Hal provides them that they 190 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,200 don't do their job as well as they should. 191 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,880 Well, I mean, that's, you know, I mean, I mean, at least Hal's 192 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,560 cutting some checks here. So I think that that's been 193 00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:53,680 hijacked right now. You can also say you'd like to 194 00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:57,720 see at some point how grow a distaste for the same results 195 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,360 and actually do something different and maybe mix things 196 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,400 up. But he's not doing that going 197 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,480 into the season. But what I find interesting, 198 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,280 right? This is my big take away here. 199 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,640 So again, the Mets fans had a pretty good place. 200 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,600 The Yankee fan, even the Bellinger signing was largely 201 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,800 anti climactic. And I was there as well. 202 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,920 I told you for a month, you know, hey, I think it's going to 203 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,600 get done. Pretty confident about it. 204 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,280 If it goes to seven years, peace out, take a hike. 205 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,600 Don't need you. If you are going to be adamant 206 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,400 about 6 years, I would still say take away, walk, don't need you 207 00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:28,800 go heavier on the AAB, which they did. 208 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,160 They got a little creative finally with an enticing bonus 209 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,920 of about $20 million opt outs after year two and three. 210 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,480 So the Yankees made some concessions that they probably 211 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,920 didn't want to make their. But this is like to me, this is 212 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,120 where things get very misrepresented from a Yankee 213 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,680 point of view. Now the standard should be 214 00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:49,880 higher. Let me get that straight, but 215 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,560 there's also a middle ground here that I think is being 216 00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:54,880 missed by a lot of people. So I'm looking at this last 217 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,320 night. You look at the projected win 218 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,480 totals for Major League Baseball got the dodgers with one O 2 219 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,440 1/2. You've got the Yankees 91 1/2 as 220 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,680 that is a massive mess. By the way, I don't know this to 221 00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:08,920 be true because I haven't looked at these odds in these, you 222 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,640 know, these gambling trends forever. 223 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,960 But I will say that I would guess, I would guess that 224 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,120 there's never been such a bigger disparity in terms of what the 225 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,280 top teams anticipated win total would be. 226 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,200 And then you mix in two and three, like one O 2 1/2 down to 227 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,840 91 1/2 is massive. Like you generally have, you 228 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,360 know, a team that's knocking on the door of 100, but then you 229 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,800 almost always have two and the Yankees are usually one of them 230 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,520 two or three teams that are in the neighborhood 94 and a half, 231 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,200 9595 1/2, something like that. That's not the case now. 232 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,760 So big drop Dodgers, Yankees, Phillies, 90 and a half, 90 1/2. 233 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,960 Pardon me, Seattle, 89 1/2. And then the New York Mets at 89 234 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,760 1/2, right. So those are the project 235 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,280 projected over under win totals for the for the game for for 236 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,400 Major League Baseball. Now you get to the World Series 237 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,720 betting odds right now, Dodgers plus 220, Yankees plus 900. 238 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,800 Then you've got Seattle, the Braves, the Jays, and the Mets 239 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,760 who are are +1111140 the Mets, which is astronomical. 240 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,120 And if you don't know what that means, you throw down 100 bucks. 241 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,480 If the Mets win the World Series, you get $11140 back. 242 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,200 It's just I don't want to assume everybody knows that. 243 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,320 Now, that doesn't mean that I'm content with what the Yanks have 244 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,680 done. I'm not, and I'm still very 245 00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:27,600 confused with what they like, why they don't do things that 246 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,040 they haven't done that I think would make them so much better. 247 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,640 Like, all right, you don't want to really stick your toe in the 248 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,240 Tucker pool. That's fine. 249 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,920 I didn't really need that. But to not be like legitimately 250 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,840 engaged, I know that they had conversations like they do with 251 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,640 everybody. Yankees doing their due 252 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,240 diligence, Yankees doing their homework. 253 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,080 But to me, like Beau Bichette is somebody that I wanted on the 254 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:47,880 Yankees. That's it. 255 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,520 That's all there is to it and there's there's still a lot of 256 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,440 questions that need to be answered here. 257 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,000 Will the Yankees make another move for a starting pitcher? 258 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,400 What do they do to set up the bullpen before you get to 259 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,480 Bednar? Mets got to address the bullpen 260 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,520 a little bit. Do you trade Jones or Dominguez? 261 00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:04,400 I'm not saying that everything is clear here. 262 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,280 I'm not saying that at all. But what I am clearly stating, 263 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,640 you guys got to tap the brakes a little bit here with this, with 264 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,920 this nonsensical. The world is ending and the 265 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,760 Yankee, the New York Yankees and the New York Mets baseball fate 266 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,720 for 2026 is not existent and it's already doomed because the 267 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,520 oddsmakers don't think that. And I don't think that now I 268 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,600 understand, at least from a Yankee perspective, you're used 269 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,120 to being viewed differently like it is the Dodgers by a mild and 270 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,520 and then we'll throw the Yankees a little bit of a bone and we'll 271 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,360 throw the Phillies a little bone and Seattle for the World 272 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,760 Series, odds of the Mets and the Braves and whatever one or two 273 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,320 other teams. Toronto for sure. 274 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,160 But that doesn't mean that doesn't mean that the Yankees 275 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,080 can't win. And I, and I understand it like 276 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,360 it's it, boy, it's gone just full throttle. 277 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:55,440 The last, however, last couple of years as as it's gotten 278 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,240 further and further away from 2009, which I also get, it's 279 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,760 been a while. Let's go the it's become so 280 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,280 bottom line, which I also get because it's the Yankees, but I 281 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,360 also think it's a little bit of a misrepresentation of really 282 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,360 where they are. Yankees have a chance. 283 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,160 And if you don't think the Yankees have a chance to mess 284 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,360 around and get to a World Series, I don't know what to 285 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,920 tell you now that might not satisfy you today. 286 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,080 You might not like the Yankees on paper today, and there's 287 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,480 elements of that statement or that thought process that I 288 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,160 subscribe to. And I'm going to run down the 289 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,200 lineups in a minute, right? You tell me which one you think 290 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,720 is better. But I think the difference this 291 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,120 year for the Yankees, and not that the Mets can't do this, 292 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,040 they certainly could with a school or somebody else. 293 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:41,600 But like, we all want, we all want a World Series, you know, 294 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,320 anointing in February or January. 295 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,920 You want to win the hot stove, right? 296 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,440 But the Mets won the hot stove a year ago with Juan Soto. 297 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,280 Mets didn't even win 85 games. But what are we going to learn 298 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,560 our lesson here and understand that you could go into the 299 00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:59,680 season right with a good team, with a team that's got a chance 300 00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:02,720 to win, with an incredibly deep pitching staff from the Yankees 301 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,600 perspective, especially when these guys come back and they're 302 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,520 healthy and oh, yeah, by the way, at that point, you can then 303 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,320 make adjustments during the season. 304 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,240 There's a lot that Bryant Cashman doesn't do right. 305 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,360 There's also one thing and probably more than one thing, 306 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,240 but the one thing that he does very well is that he generally 307 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,520 pivots in a smart manner during the season, like last year. 308 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,200 Think about where we were last year. 309 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,160 And I like the pivot from Juan Soto. 310 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,360 I thought it was a smart, practical, very quick, very 311 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,360 well. What well laid out plan for the 312 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,000 Yankees to have something ready kind of like the Mets this year 313 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,040 when they missed out on Tucker bang. 314 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,000 They already had their Plan B in the hopper. 315 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,160 Let's push this button. We got the shed. 316 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,360 We're ready to pivot. Where is the Yankees were 317 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,880 dragging their feet kind of waiting on Bellinger line in the 318 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,800 sand not going to deviate from it. 319 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000 And we're all sitting there saying, all right, that's fine 320 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,720 because Bellinger is good not great. 321 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,520 But like if the Yankees don't get Bellinger, what are we doing 322 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,200 here? And there was angst with that 323 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,800 which I always understood and I always said right. 324 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,720 But this thought of of like go back to last year and we were 325 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,640 all pumped. I know I was in terms of most of 326 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,320 the players they brought in. And one of those players would 327 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,720 was Devin Williams, who I mean, outside of the pit, Alonzo home 328 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,720 run before Alonzo dented him in that big moment. 329 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,840 Up until that moment, Devin Williams was the best closer in 330 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,080 baseball. Devin Williams didn't finish the 331 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,000 season as the Yankees closer. Like this is what I mean, what 332 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,240 we see now, what we, I'm going to, I'm going to RIP through 333 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,280 these line UPS in a minute. But what we have right now is 334 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,400 just a general broad basis of where we're going. 335 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,120 You know, both teams have a couple of superstars, both teams 336 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,360 have some real pluses and some real assets. 337 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,640 And then both teams have some players that they're still 338 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,000 trying to figure out. And the Yankees, more than the 339 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,680 Mets are trying to thread this needle of being highly, which I 340 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,320 don't love. I'm I'm not saying that, but I 341 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,680 understand what they're doing. I just wish more of you 342 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,080 understood it right. They try to thread the needle of 343 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,520 being incredibly competitive and give their fans a chance to win, 344 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,720 which they always do. And they're going to have 345 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:09,160 another chance to win big this year. 90 plus win a division, 346 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,400 win around there too, maybe get a little lucky, maybe bring in 347 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,600 some reinforcements, maybe get back to and win a World Series. 348 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,800 But I just think guys like I'm at the stage because I've seen 349 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,960 too much where there's such an overreaction to what is on the 350 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,720 lineup card now in late January or in a week early February. 351 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,440 And we we want it now. We want it. 352 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,480 We want that immediate gratification, which is kind of 353 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,280 unfortunately a reflection of society, which I don't think is 354 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,320 a great thing. I mean, you want, you want, you 355 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,360 want you want. Sometimes you got to wait, you 356 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,360 know, sometimes you got to let things go. 357 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,440 Sometimes you have to let things mature and develop and clear up. 358 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,280 And what the Yankees are trying to clear up is, you know, what 359 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,040 are they going to do with the Jones Dominguez duo? 360 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,000 They're both not making the team. 361 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,960 I mean, I don't know how you put Spencer Jones in AAA again. 362 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,240 He's going to be 25. I mean, at some point you got to 363 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,359 either move them up or you got to move them out. 364 00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:07,880 Unless Billy Joel once said moving out, he's got to move out 365 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,720 at some point or move up. And I don't think he's moving up 366 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,520 because I don't think he's better than Jason Dominguez. 367 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,160 So I think the Jones is going to get dealt. 368 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,160 And I'm OK with that because I think if you pair a Jones with 369 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,839 I'm just throwing stuff out or will Warren, somebody like that 370 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,960 or one of these younger Yankee arms that a lot of people around 371 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,079 baseball really, really like, you can get something really 372 00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:29,960 meaningful. I don't know if that's Nico 373 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,720 Horner. I I don't know about that. 374 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,160 But you can still trade jazz. There's still a lot of things 375 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,040 that the Yankees can do. Not big ticket things. 376 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,320 Tucker's gone, Bashet that's gone. 377 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,880 Peralta has been acquired. You know, Suarez signed the five 378 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,240 year deal with the Red Sox, of course, leaving the Phillies. 379 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,960 So that helps the Mets out there. 380 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:53,480 But just understand, everybody is so consumed with winning now. 381 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,960 Got news for you? Don't get trophies for winning 382 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,200 now. You might get a couple more 383 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,840 phone calls on a station. You might get a couple more 384 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,480 tweets, you might get a couple more messages here. 385 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,200 But you don't win now You don't. And even some of the players 386 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,840 that have signed, right, like Kyle Tucker, who's a really, 387 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,160 really good baseball player, you know, his advanced metrics 388 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,440 backed that up. You just even go to WAR, like 389 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,040 he's one of the best war players in baseball the last five years. 390 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,160 You know, he's on that list with Judge and a couple of others. 391 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,680 Like so that the justification to want him, I understand, but 392 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,200 he's also a little injury prone is also some whispers because he 393 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,680 really love baseball. There's some whispers. 394 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,680 Can he really flourish in a in a big market? 395 00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:41,840 Those whispers were following him around in Chicago. 396 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,720 So just relax, tap the brakes, everybody relax. 397 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:52,520 I can promise you this with a with a maybe promise is strong, 398 00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:57,480 but with an an incredible degree without saying it's 100% because 399 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,200 it never is incredible degree of confidence and near certainty. 400 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,080 I can tell you that when the Yankees start, if this is the 401 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,600 lineup on opening day, Grisham, Judge, Bellinger, Stanton, Rice, 402 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,560 Jazz, Wells, McMahon, Caballero, until Volpe gets back right, I 403 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,480 can promise you that that's not going to be the opening day or 404 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,240 the the the Game 1 lineup. You know, if and when the 405 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,000 Yankees make the playoffs like they always do. 406 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,880 And maybe because last year at this point, Caballero wasn't on 407 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,040 the team, Rosario wasn't on the team, McMahon wasn't on the 408 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,440 team. The Yankees had a real issue 409 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,720 when they had some injuries early in the year. 410 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,280 You had to find a third baseman who could catch the baseball and 411 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,360 the Yankees. Now I don't love Ryan McMahon. 412 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,040 You know, I thought he was a good fit based on what they 413 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,000 needed. But I also thought Colorado 414 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,960 would eat some of that money. But you know, kind of like the 415 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,800 Marlins ate some of that money with Stanton back in the day 416 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,880 with $10 million for a couple of years here and they didn't do 417 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,440 that. That's that's done by the 418 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,480 Yankees. I mean, you think Ryan Mcmay, 419 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,920 you think the Rockies really wanted to pay Ryan McMahon. 420 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,000 It's like you go to watch Albert pool holes, you know, who's been 421 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,960 there 8-9 years and he got an extra 10. 422 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,440 Twelve 15,000 Rocky fans reaching into their pockets to 423 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,800 go watch the. Great Ryan McMahon, who just 424 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,120 provides this incredible economic boost. 425 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,120 So like I really he's not even a league average hitter in Coors 426 00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:12,440 Field like that. The that the Yankees didn't get 427 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,600 that contract those numbers diluted a bit is criminal and 428 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,400 that's just bad business because it happens all the time. 429 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,680 But McMahon wasn't here and even let think about this, right. 430 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,000 So last year Grisham was a guy that we didn't want to play at 431 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,760 all because he was a 190 hitter. Now I don't love Grisham. 432 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,840 I just want to show you how things change, how quickly 433 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,040 things can change, right. So Christian was a throw in, you 434 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,400 know, Oh God, this guy hits 190-190-5198. 435 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,480 It's got a weird looking swing at Grisham. 436 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,200 I 4th outfielder, fantastic. And then funny thing happened. 437 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,480 And again, I'm not a fan. I'm I'm not trying to convince 438 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,520 you that everything's great because it's not. 439 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,600 I'm just trying to provide some context that it's not nearly is 440 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,400 dire. As many as you as many of you 441 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,320 think. So Grisham goes from what we 442 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,680 used to think about him to guy who runs into 34 bombs. 443 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,440 Perfect player, No. Did his defense take a little 444 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,800 bit of a step back? Yes. 445 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,960 Do the metrics back that up? Sure. 446 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,360 Do I want to batting lead off? Not a chance in hell. 447 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,440 I do not think he's a lead off. Forget about a World Series 448 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,280 team. I don't think Trent Grisham's a 449 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,360 lead off hitter on a division winning team. 450 00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:18,960 I just don't. I don't like him there. 451 00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:21,120 Too many empty at bats, can't hit lefties. 452 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,960 So while I don't love Grisham, think about our perception based 453 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,840 on what he showed us as a player before last year. 454 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,520 And while we don't love him now, he's certainly much more viable 455 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,760 than he was. All right, That's Grisham. 456 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,720 Obviously, Judge is the best I've ever seen. 457 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,560 Boom. You know, Bellinger had a really 458 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,840 good year with the Yankees. Fine. 459 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,200 Stanton in the four spot. We know the deal with him. 460 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,520 If he's healthy, he's gonna hit some bombs. 461 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:43,720 He'll miss 50 games. Whatever. 462 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,840 What did you think about Ben Rice a year ago? 463 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,320 Because what you thought about Ben Rice going into the season 464 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,160 is probably not what you think about Ben Rice going into this 465 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,360 season. Where I actually think what it's 466 00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:57,680 all said and done. I think that Ben Rice, now I 467 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,840 know you got a lefty, lefty, lefty, righty. 468 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,760 You got to split them up and all that stupid stuff. 469 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,920 To me, I'd put the best hitters in the best spots, which to me, 470 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,800 I think Ben Rice has a chance to be a three hitter for the 471 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,320 Yankees. That's how good I think Ben Rice 472 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,040 could be. So think about that. 473 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,360 And it's not like this inflated perception based on what he did 474 00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:17,760 in the minors or what the word around Major League Baseball is 475 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,080 or all the Martian like a nickname or all this guy's the 476 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,200 number one prospect. You watch Ben Rice hit and you 477 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,560 watch Ben Rice bang. Ben Rice could hit and he and 478 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,480 he's going to hit. So this year's version of Ben 479 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,120 Rice versus last year's version 2, totally different planets. 480 00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:37,400 Now, Jazz brings a lot of good. He also makes you scratch your 481 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,040 head. I actually thought the opposite 482 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,000 where I thought going into last year, Austin Wells will be a 483 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,760 little bit better. I'm a little down on him now, 484 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,880 but he's still a 20 home run catcher is going to bat in the 485 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,800 bottom third of the order. You do a lot worse than that. 486 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,880 Your third baseman wasn't McMahon, which I don't love, but 487 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,680 he's your third baseman now. And Caballero was on a different 488 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,680 baseball team. All right, So that's how fast 489 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,720 things change. All right, What did we say 490 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,760 about? I don't think now I like 491 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,960 prospects like I, I follow, follow it not like a nut job, 492 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,440 but I, I know who's valued. I, I, I follow it enough to 493 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,360 follow it right More than rudimentary terms. 494 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,720 I don't think I mentioned Camp Schlittler's name once last year 495 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,080 at this time. I really think about it and I 496 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,960 don't think anybody else did, because every time somebody said 497 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,600 Camp Schlittler's name, they would say Camp Shit Hitler like 498 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,080 everybody would like. I remember when we were saying 499 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,520 it on the radio, even though it's unintentional, you know, 500 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,160 you got FCC guidelines, certain things you can't say. 501 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,760 And if you if you you know, if you're you know, as I sometimes 502 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,520 do, especially me and Sal going back and forth, you know, you're 503 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,360 in the middle of a debate about I I heated conversation. 504 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,680 You say Cam Hitler. You know, I mean Schlittler like 505 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,240 you catch yourself quick. You know, we didn't mention his 506 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,480 name once. I didn't. 507 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,040 I'm going to forget about we I'll speak for myself and I'll 508 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,000 put my baseball knowledge up against anybody, anybody. 509 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,400 I wasn't talking about Cam Schlittler last year. 510 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,160 Look what he did against the Red Sox. 511 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,920 He looked like Roger Clemens. He looked like Vintage a 512 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,960 right-handed Randy Johnson. He looked like Kurt Schilling. 513 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,440 He looked like Pedro. So all. 514 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,400 And then you mix in the fact that last year, as I said, we 515 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,040 thought Devin Williams was the closer. 516 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,240 Nope, Fedor was and he was better. 517 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,720 So I get it. I get it. 518 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,680 It's not the conventional presentation. 519 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,400 Hey, we just got Reggie. We just got Catfish. 520 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,640 We just got Ricky Henderson. We just signed marked. 521 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,440 I'm just throwing out there. We just signed Mark Teixeira, 522 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,200 you know, a switch hitting in his prime, you know, power 523 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,080 hitting, slick fielding first baseman. 524 00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:40,400 We just got CC Sabathia, the ace that we sorely need. 525 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,040 We just signed Matsui from Japan or Tanaka from Japan. 526 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,960 I know it's is different and I also know that it's less than, 527 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,760 but we've got to at least provide a little bit better 528 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,520 context and get this thing back on the rails. 529 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,120 I mean, because if you don't believe what I'm saying, you 530 00:24:57,120 --> 00:24:58,720 should at least believe the odds makers. 531 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,200 Now, that doesn't mean they're always right. 532 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,840 But do you think that they're just saying, well, you know, 533 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,200 Yankee fans are a little downtrodden right now. 534 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,000 Let's make them feel good. So let's you know, let's put out 535 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,560 the second highest win total in terms of projection. 536 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,840 And I don't know, just so that the Yankees can will themselves 537 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:19,200 pass this, this mental, you know, demise that they find 538 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:20,200 themselves in. Yeah. 539 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,000 You know what, on top of it will make the Yankees the second 540 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,400 shortest World Series odds. You think they're just doing 541 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,200 that for a favor? Now, I also understand that 542 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,920 teams like the Dodgers, and I don't mean this iteration, just 543 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,640 the Dodger name, the Yankee name, the Dallas Cowboy name. 544 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,680 Like I'm not going to get into it now, but there is a certain 545 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:45,160 recipe that goes into these over unders, you know, season win 546 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,400 totals for the NFL. When you bet a Cowboys game, 547 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,120 you're very rare Steelers, you're very rarely getting a 548 00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:56,200 truly accurate line that that is reflected in terms of what you 549 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:56,440 know. It. 550 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,400 It's more about let's get this amount of money in because 551 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,720 people who blindly all Dallas will win, all the Steelers will 552 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,360 win, all the Yankees will win, stuff like that. 553 00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:08,800 So that that's baked in. I'm not saying it's a perfect 554 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,680 representation of where the Yankees are, but it's in the 555 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,680 ballpark, it's in the neighborhood. 556 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:19,600 It's not 5 states away. So everybody just chill out, all 557 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,120 right? I can promise you that lineup 558 00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:24,800 that I just read you that I put together last night and ain't 559 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,240 going to be it and ain't going to be it as you go to October. 560 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,320 It's not going to be it after the trade deadline. 561 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,600 And I think that there's still a chance because I do think the 562 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,240 Yanks are going to make a trade. You can clip this. 563 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,440 You could save this. I believe Spencer Jones going to 564 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,120 get bailed. They're not trading Jason 565 00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:44,640 Dominguez unless it's for a player and then obviously more 566 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,160 because Dominguez wouldn't get you a superstar. 567 00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:50,200 But like if it's a Dominguez and what you know, the names like 568 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,000 the pictures that people desire or even you throw jazz in there. 569 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,280 I, I, I don't know, like, but if Dominguez is part of a package, 570 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,440 it's not going to be for a 7th inning set up man, or, or even a 571 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,760 higher leverage 8th inning man. I can promise you that. 572 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,280 And if it is, it's idiotic and I will crush the Yankees. 573 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,600 Like you don't do that. Like I don't know what Jones is 574 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,880 going to be, which is why I'm willing to move on from Spencer 575 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,240 Jones. The K rate, the age, all that 576 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,600 stuff. You know, they've got some 577 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,640 blockage here. Now, if they didn't sign 578 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,080 Bellinger, that's a little different because at least 579 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,880 there's a path for some some playing time because he profiles 580 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,840 better defensively in center. And you know, maybe you could 581 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,040 have mixed and matched a little bit. 582 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,560 What whatever, But there's going to be a trade at some point, 583 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,480 could be before the start of the season. 584 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,480 I'm not even sure this is the open day lineup, despite what I 585 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,320 just threw out there. All right, now you get to the 586 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,520 men. Oh, and by the way, even if it 587 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,120 is, and this is the one thing that I really leaned on from a 588 00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:47,760 Yankee point of view, now a couple of things have to go 589 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,800 favorably. I get that you don't know that 590 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:50,920 it will. Understood. 591 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,840 But you've got to look at like strength in numbers and you've 592 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,200 got to compute the odds. What are the odds based on what 593 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,800 they already have? Answer this question what they 594 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:04,440 already have, right and calculating what will eventually 595 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,720 return and the upside for those men that will return at some 596 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,120 point fairly soon. What are the odds that the 597 00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:13,120 Yankees have the number one rotation in baseball this year? 598 00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:15,880 I don't mean the staff, I mean the starting, starting rotation 599 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,480 one through 5. What is it? 600 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,280 It's pretty high. I think the Yankees are going 601 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,160 especially. I'll make a prediction now if 602 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:29,880 Gerard Cole comes back to, I want to be a little conservative 603 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,920 here because I don't think he's going to be right right away and 604 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,880 he doesn't need to be. He's got to be right when it's 605 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,640 time to be right and which is obviously, you know, stretch 606 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,400 run, October. I think that as long as Gerard 607 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:46,280 Cole is 85 to 90% of what he was right, then I think the Yankees 608 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,360 have the best rotation in baseball because now you got a 609 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,760 1-2 combo of Freed and cold or cold and freed and they roll out 610 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,760 Schlittler. I mean, so that's part of the 611 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,760 impetus to for me to to feel what I feel honestly. 612 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,000 So, you know, at that's what are the perks? 613 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:05,680 Yeah. Who's that? 614 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,840 Emma M Cardoza. One of the perks of not being at 615 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,280 the fans, staying inside. Yeah. 616 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,440 Although I do have to leave at 10:30, which is why I'm on 617 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,880 earlier today. I've got to go to the city. 618 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,120 I'm looking forward to taping that over at over at Fox today 619 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,400 with the. It's, it's a full youth sports 620 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,040 segment. It's myself. 621 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,520 It's a professor at Georgetown. Yeah. 622 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,320 Who's going to be the smartest guy on that table? 623 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,160 Not me, Probably him. I bet you didn't play like I 624 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,720 did, though. Anyway, that's going to be a lot 625 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:33,760 of fun. I'm looking forward. 626 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,280 It's going to air on Sunday. I'll give you more of the 627 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,760 details. But that's why I've got to leave 628 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,960 early. But yeah, it's one of the perks 629 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,440 for sure. Now, one of the downsides of of 630 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,360 always being home is that you're always home. 631 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,920 And now I love being home. I genuinely, I love my home. 632 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,840 Just the actual physical being of my home. 633 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,040 I love it, I love my neighborhood, I love not having 634 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:59,080 a schlep in and drive and crawl to the Holland Tunnel everyday 635 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,800 and pay $1000 a month for parking. 636 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,600 Which is what I did like an idiot for basically 13 years. 637 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,480 And it went up incrementally. So it wasn't always, but Can you 638 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,240 imagine that 13 years paying that? 639 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,360 Here you go, here you go, here you go, here you go. 640 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,800 ZAP the card, ZAP the card. Good God, what? 641 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,360 Not to mention gas and then not to mention the miles that I put 642 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,760 on my lease, a car. I'm a big lease guy. 643 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,640 I have not bought a new car. And matter of fact, I don't 644 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,520 think that I ever will again. The rest of my life. 645 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:33,840 My dad started leasing cars. We went from, you know, rundown 646 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,160 cars that you hope would get us to wherever we had to go. 647 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,200 And this one, he was, he was on the job. 648 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:40,800 So he just didn't, didn't have much money. 649 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,840 And the cars like he, he would buy a car maybe like $500 in 650 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,200 cash or 1000 in cash from somebody is back in the day when 651 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,000 you see on the street, you know, for sale and you call the 652 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,720 number. That's how we get our cars back 653 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,680 then. And then when he was done on the 654 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,480 job, he opened his his own because he's a very smart person 655 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,280 and he opened up a business and that's the first time he made a 656 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,280 few bucks. So we went from, you know, 657 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,840 having the shit mobile to having cars that actually ran smoothly 658 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,440 and that were brand new. And he just taught me and my 659 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,000 dad's not a car guy, right? So he said, hey, you know, get a 660 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,440 three-year lease. All right, It's not the smartest 661 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,480 economic move because you're basically paying for something 662 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,680 with with no equity at the end of the road when you get the car 663 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,520 back, but there's no headaches, something breaks, something a 664 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,680 little problem. Here you go, here you go fix my 665 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,240 car. So when you do that as as I do, 666 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,520 and I've leased cars now I get a new one every three years. 667 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,760 But when you're driving in, as I was for 13 years, that's 25 668 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,640 miles each way, each way, each way. 669 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,720 So what happens is when I go to turn the lease in, I'm always 670 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,720 over the mileage. So that's another benefit. 671 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,680 I'm not having to go into the city today. 672 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,360 I'm going to the city, but they're picking me up. 673 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:48,920 I'm not driving. They're sending a car. 674 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,520 So all right, anyway, the, the whole thing's out of whack here. 675 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:58,920 The whole thing is out of whack. There's just this crazy visceral 676 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,480 overreaction, which again, I I do understand to an extent, but 677 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:08,560 what's happened here is that it's really, it's just it, it's 678 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,040 from the previous year. It's like, all right, last year, 679 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,080 get your face kicked in by Toronto. 680 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,040 That bothers us. So that carries into this year, 681 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,840 especially when there's nothing really done except the retention 682 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,640 of one of your best players right in, in Cody. 683 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,840 And then what happened the previous year with that when the 684 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,240 Yankees got to the World Series and lost it? 685 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,280 Yeah, it was great to be back and it was nice to be on that 686 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,800 stage again. And that could have been a lot 687 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,680 more competitive. If, you know, Judge doesn't drop 688 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,360 the pop up, if, you know, they don't kick the ball around the 689 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,640 the infield like Jazz. When when when the ball trickles 690 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,160 in from the outfield and he's just looking around like, oh, 691 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,400 what's going on? Or. 692 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,960 And I love him. But Boone made an awful call 693 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,400 bringing in Nestor Cortez to face Freddie Freeman. 694 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,280 That was just a bad move. I said it then, I say it now. 695 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,840 I love Boone, but when he makes a mistake, I got to I got to 696 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,800 tell you what I see. And I said that the next day and 697 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,840 I went, I went very aggressively on that. 698 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,160 And I stand by it. Real move and pitched a lot. 699 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,640 Whatever bad matchup didn't like it. 700 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,040 So the way the Yankees looked in the World Series, they were 701 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,960 getting mocked. I mean, the Dodgers after it 702 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,200 saying, ah, we knew that if you put stress on their defense, 703 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,880 they'd kick it around. And like, Yankee fans are 704 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,200 getting tired of all these failures each year stacking up. 705 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:23,760 So the presentation is 1 big angry ball of energy and a lack 706 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,080 of conviction in anything that they do. 707 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,400 And I'm saying two things could be true, honestly. 708 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,560 And I I believe that two things are true here. 709 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,240 Yes, the Yankees have made a litany of mistakes over the 710 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,160 years. The Yankees don't operate the 711 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,160 way they used to, which infuriates me. 712 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,000 And I'm talking about how the Yankees have been too OK with 713 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,040 status quo. And I'm talking about how and 714 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,920 his conviction to remain married to Brian Cashman. 715 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:54,080 All those things stack up, but I can now push those to the side 716 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,640 and say, do they have the best player in baseball? 717 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,080 Yeah. Do they have a chance to have 718 00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,880 the best rotation in baseball? Yeah. 719 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:01,880 So those are things. And oh, yeah, by the way, 720 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,280 reinforced by the numbers, whether it's Vegas, whatever, 721 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,280 win totals and World Series odds. 722 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,400 So that's the Yankees, right? Changes are going to happen, 723 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,440 even if it's not conventionally on your timeline. 724 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,560 Now the Mets lineup, now I don't know where they're going to hit 725 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:17,840 Bichette. I'm hitting Bichette third. 726 00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:20,880 So the way I would do it, I would go Lindor, Soto, Bichette. 727 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:25,320 I would go Polanco 4, baby five, maybe Robert 6, and then 728 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,480 Alvarez, Benj and and Simeon. All right. 729 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,760 So to me, like the Mets lineup is just better. 730 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,600 Like if you, I'm going to actually go player for player 731 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,760 right now, I don't think the Mets are better, but the Mets 732 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,520 lineup is better, right? It's better in more places. 733 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:44,480 There's fewer easy outs, there's more interesting power speed 734 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,760 combination. There's more, I think intriguing 735 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,000 some of the younger players that will get a real chance or on the 736 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,880 on whether it's a a baby or a bench, something like that. 737 00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:56,960 Now the difference is that era judge is so much better than 738 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,520 everybody in baseball, including Juan Soto from an offensive 739 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:05,320 point of view that judges insane Ruthie in production elevates 740 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,440 the product passed to a point where like it it really isn't on 741 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,560 a night to night one through 9 in the order basis. 742 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,040 But anyway, just little little little bleeps and giggles time. 743 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,680 You ready, Lindor Grisham advantage Mets. 744 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:18,920 I'm going to actually do checks here. 745 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:24,040 All right, Lindor, Grisham, boom Soto, Judge advantage judge 746 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,360 Bichette, Bellinger advantage Bichette, but I really do like 747 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,640 Bellinger and he fits the Yankees great, but Bichette 748 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:36,760 clutch higher average, whatever. Polanco, Stanton, I'm going to 749 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,200 actually go Polanco here. I'm going to go Polanco. 750 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,680 Obviously Stanton is going to run into some 470 foot bombs, 751 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,760 but I just think you get fewer strikeouts, more grinded out of 752 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:50,080 bats that plays more over 1162. I'm going to get the the edge to 753 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,680 I'm not going to incorporate defense here. 754 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,360 Just going one through 9 of the batting order. 755 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,560 Beatty or Rice, give me rice. But I really do love Brett 756 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,000 Beatty. You know that you know I like 757 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:03,480 Beatty, Luis, Robert or Jazz. Give me Jazz, you know, now if 758 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,200 Robert catches what he was, and you know the thing about 759 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,200 somebody like Louise Robert, why there's intrigue #1 he can fly 760 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,360 #2 he could pick in the outfield, He's got power. 761 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,120 But a guy like that, it's very easy to become disengaged in 762 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,160 baseball when you are a part of such a losing team. 763 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,280 To me, there's a thought that just being around some some some 764 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,640 better players and you know, the residual impact of Soto in the 765 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,800 lineup and Lindor, but certainly Bichette watching Bichette's at 766 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,200 bats. I, I, I think that Louise 767 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,760 Roberts definitely going to have a better year than he did a year 768 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:33,680 ago. I'm not going to say he's going 769 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,080 to be an All Star again like he was for a minute with the White 770 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,880 Sox, but I think Louise Roberts is going to be good. 771 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,000 I do just not as good as Jazz. Jazz is 3030. 772 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,000 He could have gone 4040 didn't get hurt. 773 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,160 Alvarez, Wells, I'm going to take Austin Wells. 774 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,760 I just don't trust Alvarez. I don't even I like Wells. 775 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,480 I don't love him. I just don't trust Alvarez. 776 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,480 Not in good shape, always hurt, not productive enough. 777 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,120 And then you get to the Benjamin McMahon, if that's where it's 778 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:58,760 at. I mean, I'm going to give 779 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,240 McMahon the edge just because I've never seen Bench do a 780 00:37:01,240 --> 00:37:02,760 thing. But everybody around baseball 781 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,680 loves him and he's going to be a plus outfielder for sure. 782 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,960 And McMahon's A+ defender. So I would have to think that 783 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,000 Bench, even if he just if he strikes out less than McMahon, 784 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,280 he might have a chance to be better. 785 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,160 And then you get to the Simeon, the Simeon and the Caballero or 786 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,680 Simeon and Volpe. You got to give the advantage to 787 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,840 Simeon. So like I said, like to me, 788 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,400 there's just there's tougher outs to navigate. 789 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,160 Like I look now when Luis Roberts is in one of these 790 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,400 funks, you know, he's a two or three strikeout a game guy. 791 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,120 He's an easy out to navigate when he's in a funk. 792 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,000 So is Alvarez and that's kind of it. 793 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,720 I'm going to even give Benz the benefit of the doubt because 794 00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:43,520 he's his profile in the minors is one of little more contact, 795 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,760 whatever when some of these Yankees are in a funk. 796 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,400 I mean, Stanton's capable of going one for 27 with 17 797 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,160 strikeouts. Jazz can just swing all night 798 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,560 and not come close to contact, same with Austin Wells. 799 00:37:56,720 --> 00:37:59,800 Same with Ryan McMahon. Caballero's a different kind of 800 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:00,960 grinder. So I'm not too worried about 801 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,640 him, but and and I like him, but he'll be at his best when he's 802 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,680 in that super sub role. So, Oh, I just gave you a lot, 803 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,200 right? And really, if you want to boil 804 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:13,080 it down to one statement or one thought process, just relax, 805 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,800 just chill. My goodness, I don't remember 806 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:25,240 doing this when I was younger. I, I really, I don't now part of 807 00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:28,680 that when I want to say, you know, I mean, as a kid, you know 808 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,320 what, like the Yankees got Winfield. 809 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:35,040 I was kind of young and he was awful in the 81 World Series. 810 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,080 I was about 7:00. So I was processing it very 811 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,120 differently. I'm like, oh, yeah. 812 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:39,280 I I don't think I ever saw him play. 813 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,520 Maybe against the Mets when the Padres came in and, you know, 814 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,480 baseball courts. I knew the name and I knew he 815 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,320 was this massive figure with power. 816 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,760 I mean, I was pumped, but I don't know if there was a whole 817 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,840 lot of baseball intellect behind being pumped because I was 7. 818 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,600 You know, Reggie, I don't even remember when they got him in 819 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,920 in, in 70 after the 76 World Series when the Yankees got 820 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,320 swept. So it was more about, you know, 821 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,200 after as the dynasty, dynasty started, you know, and then it 822 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,160 was like by now I expect to get these guys. 823 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,080 So there was nothing to complain about. 824 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,320 It went from most of my childhood, Yankees weren't good, 825 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,680 no playoffs from after 81 through the 94 cancellation. 826 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,640 I didn't see a single pitch in the I've talked about this. 827 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,680 Think about that. We are thinking about somebody 828 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,320 who loved baseball the way I did, played in high school, 829 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,040 played in college. You know how much I love to 830 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:32,040 coach and just a devout lunatic baseball fan. 831 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:37,640 So from the age of 7 all the way up until college, I didn't see a 832 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,760 single playoff pitch for my team. 833 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,440 And so that was like a different level of frustration. 834 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,280 No wild court. Toronto was good, Tigers really 835 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,680 good. For a minute in 84, Tigers 836 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,200 started 35 and five that year in 198435 and five. 837 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,760 Think about that. And then all of a sudden, all I 838 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,880 did was expect to win, and they did. 839 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,400 Now the difference with me, I'm like some younger Yankee fans, 840 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,960 is that I had, I had become a calloused fan because there were 841 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,120 many times I was pissed at George and I was frustrated. 842 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,440 The product and Mattingly hurt his back and they had no 843 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,640 pitching even when they had Ricky. 844 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,680 Donnie and Winfield, like how do you not make the playoffs when 845 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,920 Ricky Henderson is your lead off man? 846 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,040 Don Mattingly is your 3 hitter and this is vintage Mattingly. 847 00:40:27,240 --> 00:40:30,240 And by the way, still absolute vintage Ricky. 848 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:37,280 And Oh yeah, by the way, mostly still vintage Dave Winfield 134. 849 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:41,040 What? So it was like frustration and 850 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,040 that it was I expect to win, but because I didn't win at all as a 851 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,440 kid, I was never one of these. And you know who you are that 852 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,240 cocky, come on, I love you. But that that punk Yankee fan 853 00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:55,840 just always sticking in the Mets fans face and the Red Sox fans 854 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,520 face and nobody could beat us. I didn't have that. 855 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,960 Like I I understood I'm old enough to remember when the 856 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,760 Yankees weren't good. So I was going to walk around 857 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,720 with that mindset like that's what we do. 858 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:11,640 So maybe maybe I'm processing this more in a more balanced way 859 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,760 because I've had experience with this, you know, rather than just 860 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,000 let it RIP like a lunatic. I also understand baseball and I 861 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,400 also understand it's a long odyssey, all right? 862 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,920 So it's not even February, which means you could still do 863 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,520 something now, all right? And then you play it on a well, 864 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,480 you start in March, all the April, all the May, all the 865 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,040 June, All right. I remember saying the sound to 866 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:40,600 me what baseball's become is the 1st 2 1/2 and I don't love this, 867 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,320 but this what's what it's become the 1st 2 1/2 months. 868 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,720 You evaluate what you have it just kind of you throw it out 869 00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:48,200 there, you make your offseason moves. 870 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,840 If you're going to give the young kids some run, you give 871 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,960 them some young run or you give them some run early. 872 00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:53,920 So you figure out what you have, right? 873 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,720 All right, If somebody was hurt the year before they get back, 874 00:41:56,720 --> 00:41:58,640 what do they look like? Somebody like Gary Cole, 875 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,800 somebody like Rodon, kind of assess the physical aspect of 876 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,960 it. Injury wise young players, you 877 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,560 see if they can adapt and adjust and handle the added, you know, 878 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,520 strain of playing Major League Baseball on a daily basis. 879 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,760 And if not, you got to sit where you got to ship them out. 880 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,120 It's a valuation. Yes, you want to win, you don't 881 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,440 want to get buried, but you're not winning any divisional title 882 00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:22,080 in April and May. You just not so April, May and 883 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,680 even into early June. You're evaluating what you have, 884 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,640 right? And then once you get to around 885 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,240 the middle of June, you kind of know what you have. 886 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,280 Now the next phase of the baseball season is you go out 887 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,760 there and you get what you don't have. 888 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,360 You address what you need to address. 889 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,840 So first a couple of months. All right, we've got this. 890 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,480 I like this. This is working. 891 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,600 Thought this might be a little bit more viable. 892 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,080 We got a hole here. This guy's not getting it done. 893 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,800 He's back in the minors. Evaluate, then you react to the 894 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,440 evaluation and then the last part of the season is now you 895 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,840 kind of hit the reset with the team and the additions and 896 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,200 reinforcements you brought in to make a run for a World Series. 897 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,080 That's the baseball season in a nutshell. 898 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,280 I just boiled it down to you. I I really did. 899 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,760 So I know that it's one of 162, but they're not really all the 900 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,320 same. They're not all, even though 901 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,120 they literally are from a mathematical point of view, the 902 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:16,600 way that the calculus works for these front offices, they, it's, 903 00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:18,200 it's exactly what I just told you. 904 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,920 It's really, it's a first couple of months, a runway to get up 905 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:27,200 and, and gain some altitude and validate your belief in your 906 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,760 opening day roster and lineup. And then if you're proven to 907 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,840 have made some sloppy or erroneous misreads, you address 908 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,840 it. And then you go from there. 909 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,360 Batten down the hatches. We got two months to play ball 910 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,000 with the reinforcements. Let's go. 911 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,680 Like when the Yankees got Bednar, they realized like, all 912 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,040 right, this is even though, even though Devin Williams stabilized 913 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,840 things, right? the IT was fairly obvious, 914 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,600 certainly in April when his ERA was nine. 915 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,280 Wow. Where he just. 916 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,320 Yeah, like this. It doesn't look right, doesn't 917 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,040 feel right, doesn't smell right. I don't trust this guy in a big 918 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,120 spot. Is he spooked by New York? 919 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,640 Is he spooked by the pinstripes? I don't know what it is, but 920 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,560 this guy can't be on the mound closing games when it matters. 921 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,880 Up in Fenway, up in Toronto. Not that they want in Toronto. 922 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,360 You know, I thought Baltimore would be better coming in. 923 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,560 Down in Baltimore, you know, the Tigers are a pretty decent team. 924 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,640 You know, the good teams, right? So you've got to get that 925 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,240 evaluation and they will and they'll react to it. 926 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:28,040 You know, and I think that when I look at both of these teams, I 927 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:32,400 I would have to say the the main points of evaluation going into 928 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,240 the season would be a varying degrees of importance. 929 00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:39,560 But you know, Ken Polanco really handle first base. 930 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,560 I think it'll be fine. Can Beatty handle the outfield? 931 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,080 I think you'll be fine. Which version of Louise Robert 932 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,480 do the Mets have? I don't know. 933 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,800 Hey, get off the pot time for Alvarez. 934 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,680 Like we're getting the answer this year that I don't need to 935 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,240 even need to church it up. Are you going? 936 00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:56,560 Are you not? And if you're not, you got to 937 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:57,960 leave. So we'll get the answer on 938 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:02,080 Alvarez, we'll get an answer on Binge and we'll find out if 939 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,200 Simeon has any real true life in his baseball body anymore. 940 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,160 I like the move because Jeff McNeil just you had to get rid 941 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:09,920 of him. Simeon's a great defensive, 942 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,800 defensive defensive player. He's a good clubhouse, guys a 943 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,640 World Series champion. Even if he's not, you know, 944 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,640 doesn't bounce back with a vengeance from the average and 945 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,640 the the offensive output perspective, I think it's an 946 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,080 upgrade. So those are some of the 947 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,760 questions for the for the Mets. And then you calculate a tongue, 948 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,520 you calculate year 2 of McClain. All right, Is Devin Williams 949 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,320 really going gonna go back to being that guy in in Milwaukee 950 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,600 or for a month or two or three that he was with the Yankees? 951 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,600 Or do we have an issue here? You know, evaluate that. 952 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,840 Do we meet? Do we need to really just put it 953 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:43,640 all on the table and say whatever it takes, we need 954 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,120 school. Hey, we're better than we 955 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:46,360 thought. We can win this thing. 956 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,440 Dodgers have an injury or two. We're going for it. 957 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:49,440 We're going for the World Series. 958 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:54,520 That's all in season processing and then evaluation and then 959 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,800 reacting to it. And now from the Yankees point 960 00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,200 of view, and there are a lot of questions for both of these 961 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,120 teams, I just don't think it's nearly as dire or some of you 962 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,480 do, you know, is Grisham really a lead off hitter? 963 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,040 I know my answer, but they'll probably still evaluate that. 964 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,200 You know, is is is Rice an adequate enough first baseman to 965 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,280 play there every day? I think he will be, but I want 966 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,080 to see it. Is he the hitter that we think 967 00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:17,280 that he will be? I think so. 968 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,360 Do they trade Jazz that that's really still on the table? 969 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,640 Is Wells going to turn the corner or is it going to be one 970 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:28,280 of these massive strikeout, low average, you know, run into some 971 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,520 fast balls to hit some home runs, kind of a catcher, which 972 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,000 is, I mean, you'll take that better than the guy was hitting 973 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,480 two O 9 with five home runs, but not not optimal. 974 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,840 You know, Do they move on from Ryan McMahon? 975 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,720 Do they entice somebody to make a trade? 976 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,640 If you maybe you throw Jones and McMahon in a pitcher and you eat 977 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,280 some of the money with McMahon and I don't get Nico Horner, 978 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:50,320 Well, I'm just throwing stuff out. 979 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,600 I don't know. I don't know what the Hell's 980 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,080 Volpe look like when he comes back? 981 00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,080 What's Schlittler like in Year 2? 982 00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,040 Where's Gary Cole? Where's Rodon? 983 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,960 All questions. But you guys want these things 984 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,080 answered today, and I just don't. 985 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,400 Well, I understand that. I just don't agree with it. 986 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,240 Of course I understand that. You're lunatics. 987 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,240 You're a baseball lunatic like myself. 988 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,200 I'm just a little more mature these days. 989 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:19,560 J Rod. What's cooking, buddy? 990 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,680 What's going on, man? Where's J Rod? 991 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:24,760 How we do? He is. 992 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:26,080 How's it going? Give it up. 993 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,760 For J Rod, good morning, good morning. 994 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,960 What up player? Nothing much. 995 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,520 How are you? I'm good, I'm good, man. 996 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,040 So do you agree? Do you agree? 997 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,480 You don't have to dive too much into the sports opinion here, 998 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,760 but do you agree on a on some level? 999 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,520 And you can if you want to. I just, I just don't know how 1000 00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:46,120 how, how much you're into it. That while the reaction is kind 1001 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,480 of fun, you know, and getting worked up it that it really 1002 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,160 largely misses the mark. Like, it's a lot of energy 1003 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:57,640 that's wasted that at the end of the day doesn't really mean that 1004 00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:01,000 those are like the results we're going to get when it's all said 1005 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,200 and done. Are you with me? 1006 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,960 Yeah, I mean, absolutely. I think, you know, as they say, 1007 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,400 time tells all. I think you can't really 1008 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,880 overreact just based on, you know, some offseason moves, some 1009 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:13,960 offseason rumblings. You really have to see how you 1010 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,800 know things will play out. OK, All right. 1011 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,320 There you go. No, I'm I'm with you, Don 1012 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,880 Taylor, Don Baylor. You know I was not Don Baylor 1013 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,120 was on the Yankees for a minute too. 1014 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,320 Yeah, I hear you. Let me get a couple of these 1015 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,160 tweets in here or I always say tweets. 1016 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,800 They're not tweets. They're I always say though, I 1017 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,960 always but yeah, but it just I always do it. 1018 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,320 Let me get glad four O 6 in in Is he in tie? 1019 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,080 He's that's that's what I. Was picking up from that, Yeah, 1020 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,120 I think so kind. Of looks like the avatar is wow, 1021 00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,840 glad I found you BT there's nobody no one like the passion 1022 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:48,840 it's insane. Thank you. 1023 00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,280 Well, thank you. I mean, you're checking out, 1024 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,560 you're checking me out, checking us out from Thailand. 1025 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:55,520 We got to be doing something, right. 1026 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,680 I'm not even sure what time it is in Thailand, if that's indeed 1027 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,880 where you are. Yeah, I mean, I appreciate that. 1028 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:05,280 That is, that is one thing that if I, if I had to really, if I 1029 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,560 had to really kind of come up with like a working definition 1030 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,880 or mission statement for BT Unleashed, passion and, and 1031 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,320 energy would, would obviously be somewhere very high in the 1032 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,800 description. And hopefully intellect and 1033 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,680 balance and fairness and a little wackiness and having fun 1034 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,280 and all those and diversity and all those other things. 1035 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,680 And you know, just a real pure passion for sport. 1036 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,600 But like, this is me. Like this is not I, I just, I 1037 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,880 love doing this stuff. Like I, I love talking. 1038 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,560 The art of communication is something that has always been 1039 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,000 appealing to me. I'm glad you guys are feeling it 1040 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,720 and that means a lot. Thank you very, very much. 1041 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,000 Thank you. What do we got here? 1042 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,480 Anthony's going to check in. Anthony Mellie, 53 O 5. 1043 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,440 Yanks are good enough line up to win the American League. 1044 00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,120 Mets have a little bit better line up, but will be harder for 1045 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,920 them to get out of the NL. Yeah, I I think that most of 1046 00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,320 that's fair and I don't know if it's all accurate, Anthony. 1047 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,960 I think that, you know, through the Yankees really, truly have a 1048 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,120 good enough lineup right now. I don't think that they do to 1049 00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,800 win the American League. But that's also because I don't 1050 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,600 have the answers yet on the pitching. 1051 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,280 That's why it comes down to a Garrett Coleman Rodan and he 1052 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,080 running out the stat that one through 5. 1053 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,040 And then obviously by extension, you're taking whether it's a 1054 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,040 weathers, one of these cats when they when everybody's healthy 1055 00:50:22,240 --> 00:50:25,520 and you're putting them in like a 6th inning relief role or 1056 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,560 maybe even closer to a high leverage point. 1057 00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,520 If they could adapt to that. Well, now, yes, now I think the 1058 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:35,400 lineup with Judge, you know, and with Bellinger and you know, you 1059 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,640 still need one more. Like that's the thing, like I'm 1060 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,240 trying to convince and I don't I don't love the lineup, but like 1061 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:44,400 just imagine if it was if you had Bichette somewhere in here, 1062 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,360 like if you have Bichette now, it changes everything because 1063 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,200 what you could do and they don't have them. 1064 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,400 So I'm not going to waste a lot of time on this, But rather than 1065 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,680 putting Grisham in a lead off spot, you know what? 1066 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,440 You can lead off Bichette, you can lead off Bo Bichette, 1067 00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:01,200 there's your righty. And then what I would then do, I 1068 00:51:01,240 --> 00:51:03,880 would put Bellinger in the 2 hole, even though he protected 1069 00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,440 Judge a year ago, I got Bichette, Bellinger contact, 1070 00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:11,120 intelligence, clutch boom, hit your belly, hit lefties, hit 1071 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:12,480 righties, Bichette hit everybody as well. 1072 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:16,360 Then you put arrow judge 3. And now at that point, you could 1073 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:20,760 then justify putting Ben Rice 4. So you'd have a righty lefty, 1074 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,520 righty lefty. I know they're looking for that, 1075 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,440 but you got a lot of power, you got a lot of IQ, a lot of 1076 00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:29,240 contact, a lot of guys on base like without that one extra 1077 00:51:29,240 --> 00:51:33,240 potent bat. I I do understand that you're 1078 00:51:33,240 --> 00:51:36,080 reaching in certain spots like, you know, Caballero, opening day 1079 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,800 shortstop, big man at third base, few of the other spots 1080 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,120 we've hit, but you know, that's what trades are for. 1081 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:43,160 You know what I mean there. Jay Rod. 1082 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,000 Yes, Sir. Here's a here's a question from 1083 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,840 Armand. OK, you throw that one up first. 1084 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:50,760 What do you got there? OK, Thank you. 1085 00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,000 Oh, well, I'm not hitting anything. 1086 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,360 Why is that? Actually, I didn't hit anything. 1087 00:51:55,240 --> 00:51:56,360 All right, thank you, Jay. Rod. 1088 00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:57,320 There we go. There we go. 1089 00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,920 OK, All right. Armand is amazing if the owes 1090 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,520 owed Framber Valda, if they if they add Framber or Gallon, are 1091 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,680 they better than the Yankees? No, I don't know about that. 1092 00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,400 I I don't know about that. I think I was very surprised the 1093 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,440 Orioles weren't better than they were a year ago. 1094 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,520 That's one thing like I didn't expect that. 1095 00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,160 I I didn't think that they would win the division, but their 1096 00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,560 young core and the players that they had AI thought that I I 1097 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,640 actually thought they'd probably be more of a chief threat to the 1098 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:28,280 Yankees than Toronto going in now Red Sox have good pitching a 1099 00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:29,880 little light on the sticks there. 1100 00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,440 The Orioles had Pete if they had another arm. 1101 00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,880 I mean that that's why I don't even if they don't add another 1102 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:40,360 arm like Valdez. I I do think that well, I mean, 1103 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,000 shoot, if they I mean you got you get CC. 1104 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,320 Just really think this through position players. 1105 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,760 I don't love Valdez for reasons that I've talked about here. 1106 00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,480 His second-half numbers were very worrisome. 1107 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,520 And then the character issue crossing up his catcher, I I 1108 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,080 can't reconcile that. But I'm talking it's about the 1109 00:52:58,080 --> 00:52:59,680 Orioles. So if they want to deal with 1110 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,160 that and they think it's OK, go for it. 1111 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,080 I wouldn't do it. But they're trying to win Valdez 1112 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:07,160 and Cease. Yeah. 1113 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,840 I mean, at that point, I'd have to say that maybe you kind of 1114 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,120 flip a coin like it, is Pete going to go there and hit 32 1115 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,320 home runs or is Pete going to just go bonkers year one? 1116 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,760 I'd have to think he's probably pushing 40 more so than 30, 1117 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:20,400 right? So I think the Orioles were a 1118 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,880 real threat. If they get somebody like 1119 00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:25,800 Valdez, even more so. But I think they're going to be 1120 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,920 competitive now. And there's a reason why I don't 1121 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,640 think that, you know, last year nobody won more than 94 games in 1122 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,600 the East anyway. So I don't think it's going to 1123 00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:39,840 be like that 9899 win, total hundred win. 1124 00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,880 So I just don't really see that myself. 1125 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,840 This has come up quite a bit at Nice Putt. 1126 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,200 We got a golfer here. Can't wait to start playing 1127 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:51,160 golf, bad golf, but I can't wait to start playing Tatis for 1128 00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,840 Dominguez and Jones. Well, I would have to think they 1129 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:56,400 would want a controllable pitcher as well. 1130 00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,160 Like, I don't. I don't think that that gets 1131 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:02,040 done if it's Dominguez, Jones and whomever else they covet 1132 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:03,800 other than Cam Schlittler. Yeah. 1133 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,560 I mean, of course you make. There's no doubt that you do 1134 00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:12,040 that. Of course, Yeah, I see a couple 1135 00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:13,240 things. I thought the show started at 1136 00:54:13,240 --> 00:54:15,000 10. It usually does today. 1137 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,160 And I, I tweeted this out, guys, it starts at 10. 1138 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,680 But today I got to jump out. I got to do some stuff here. 1139 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:23,600 So I'm hopeful now I got to look at the trademark stuff, but I'm 1140 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:27,200 hopeful that I'll be able to take the segment from Fox on 1141 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,160 Sunday about youth sports and upload this year. 1142 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,680 I've got to ask them. So when I went on Tina's show on 1143 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,440 on Fox Sports Extra about a month or so ago, I got 1144 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,240 permission to do it and they were cool with it. 1145 00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,280 So hopefully that's the case and and I'll be able to do that 1146 00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,520 again. And if we can, then we'll 1147 00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,040 absolutely do it. What about how do you say how 1148 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,040 are we saying this name M Cordoza? 1149 00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,760 I think it's. M cordoza that that's what I I'd 1150 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,240 run with. We'll do that. 1151 00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:54,600 Yeah. Trade idea for Tatis. 1152 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,800 They want Dominguez. All right, So this is where. 1153 00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,360 Oh, no, it's the way to Dominguez and Jones. 1154 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,880 Fine, Lombard. I really don't want to give up 1155 00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,120 Lombard. That's like the one guy that I 1156 00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:06,560 want. LaGrange is really high, like 1157 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:13,480 Boone loves him and Schlittler. So really to me, what it comes 1158 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,560 down to, I almost have to take Dominguez and Jones out of there 1159 00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,560 because I'd be OK. Of course you, you give them up 1160 00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,520 for him. Lombard give up LaGrange, even 1161 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:23,720 though I think they really love him. 1162 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,240 And I, I don't know that I could justify giving up Cam Schlittler 1163 00:55:27,240 --> 00:55:30,480 at that point. I mean, man, that's a tough one. 1164 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,560 You, you got me. I I don't know, I really don't 1165 00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:37,560 know Tatis. They got Tatis in here. 1166 00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:42,400 I mean to see the problem with that and then the Yankees start 1167 00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,520 to run into a problem that they're still addressing now, 1168 00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:47,080 which is what I'm trying to avoid. 1169 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,000 Like let's say that they give up Cam. 1170 00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,520 I think Cam's going to be a multi time All Star Jay, you can 1171 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:52,760 get that off the screen. Thank you, brother. 1172 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,320 I I think he's going to be that guy right. 1173 00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,920 So if you get rid, I'm not saying I don't trade him under 1174 00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:59,960 any circumstance, like if if I knew they were going to get 1175 00:55:59,960 --> 00:56:02,560 schooled with an extension, which is not going to happen, 1176 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:04,320 but that's that's grounds for me. 1177 00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,040 Like, OK, I could give up Cam Schlittler. 1178 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,320 And even then I wouldn't really want to do it because Cam 1179 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,320 Schlitt like I don't know, is Tariq school going to be twice 1180 00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,480 as good as Cam Schlittler? Probably not. 1181 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:18,800 If Cam is 70% of school, 70%, he's making $900,000. 1182 00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:20,720 You're going to have this guy making 50 million a year. 1183 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,680 And with how that matters with Cohen, not as much. 1184 00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:30,080 But the issue with moving away from somebody like Cam is, you 1185 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:31,800 know, Garrett Cole's getting older. 1186 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,440 Will Don's contract is up soon. All right, Max Freed, first of 1187 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,640 us, what, 7 year deal? I think it was 7. 1188 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,320 And it fits very, very well for the Yankees last year. 1189 00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:43,960 I don't want to see the situation where the Yankees are 1190 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:48,760 always having to fill the voids in the rotation with these big 1191 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:52,440 contracts. Like the idea of building a team 1192 00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:56,360 building should consist of this. If you're a legitimate franchise 1193 00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,160 in a first rate operation that drafts well and develops well 1194 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,000 and has all the international resources and all the other 1195 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,080 stuff buttoned up and you know what I mean, whatever it might 1196 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,080 be encompassing everything, you just, you're on point. 1197 00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:13,480 Well, you would love to have like 2 transformative players 1198 00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,080 that you've discovered on your own. 1199 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,680 The Yankees have won in terms of position players and Aaron 1200 00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,040 Judge, you'd love one more now both. 1201 00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,240 Bee was supposed to be that guy. He's not that guy. 1202 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,320 Dominguez was supposed to be that guy. 1203 00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:26,240 Not that guy yet. Although I actually think 1204 00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:27,640 Dominguez is going to take a big step. 1205 00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,240 I'm actually really excited about Dominguez. 1206 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,320 Watch it get dealt as soon as we get off the show, off the show 1207 00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,440 today. So if they would have had that 1208 00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:36,680 like then, then it changes things. 1209 00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:40,520 It it just changes the way you have to compute what you need to 1210 00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:42,720 do. The fact that they outside of 1211 00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:44,920 judge, they haven't produced those kind of players. 1212 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,720 Now you got to chase and you oh God, we don't have 1/3 baseman. 1213 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,640 You know, we don't love McMahon, but he could catch it. 1214 00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:52,920 All right, let's trade for him. Then you stuck with two years 1215 00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:56,560 left at $16,000,000.32 total for a guy who strikes out 200 1216 00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:00,280 something times a year. And that's how you know, you 1217 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,600 could still be competitive that way and you could still win a 1218 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,040 lot of games to be a playoff team that way. 1219 00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,960 But that's really not the way to win a championship. 1220 00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,160 So as I wrap it up and I look at it this way, because I got to 1221 00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:12,520 go, the car is going to be here in 30 minutes. 1222 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,160 I got to take a shower. Got to shave the Dome, you know, 1223 00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,720 got to shave the Dome. My wife's like, no, you should 1224 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:19,320 let it grow out. Grow out. 1225 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:20,960 No, wait, that that's the worst look. 1226 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:22,760 You got the George Jefferson look going on here. 1227 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,960 See that? So I got it here. 1228 00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,440 I'm not as bold as ever. Like if I grew it out, it would 1229 00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,120 be, but you see the sides are a little thicker. 1230 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,440 Can't be having that. Like to me, I think you look 1231 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,600 older. Like if you're losing your hair, 1232 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:37,240 just take the plunge. Just go. 1233 00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:38,840 What are you waiting for? Shave it. 1234 00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,000 I mean, there's still some dudes I still like. 1235 00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,320 I'll take my son to get a haircut. 1236 00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,920 I still see some people in a Barber chair where like, you 1237 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:49,440 know, they don't, they don't have anything up here. 1238 00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,080 And like the barber's shaving the sides not with a razor with 1239 00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:53,920 a with a one or two or three clip. 1240 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:58,040 Like, dude, just go all the way. Who are you fooling to me? 1241 00:58:58,040 --> 00:58:59,640 You. You're drawing more attention to 1242 00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:03,640 your boldness when you've got fur here and nothing here. 1243 00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:06,000 What are you doing anyways? I got a shave, so I got to get 1244 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:07,720 rolling because the car's coming here soon. 1245 00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:13,440 I think that last thought on this, when you you look at how 1246 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:17,280 the Dodgers have done whatever they want and they get whoever 1247 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:21,120 they want and doesn't seem fair and they're playing by different 1248 00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:23,360 rules and they're deferring money. 1249 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,280 Well, what are the Dodgers doing? 1250 00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,720 Do they have wink agreements? Wink and not agree? 1251 00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:29,360 All the Japanese players want to go there. 1252 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,640 All right, It's cyclical it all, Michael, Tony's not going to be 1253 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:35,520 this prime forever. You know, eventually dynasties 1254 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,120 Peter out. So I'm not worried about that. 1255 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,040 And then there's going to be a complete recalibration of the 1256 00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:44,160 economics of baseball, which is why 2027 is going to suck in 1257 00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:47,400 terms of a work stoppage or some real deep labor stripe. 1258 00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,080 But the point is, the energy is twofold. 1259 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:54,120 The Yankee energy is you're bothered by the fact that the 1260 00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,800 Dodgers doing whatever they want and you're not nearly as 1261 00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:00,160 aggressive as you used to be and you want how to be so. 1262 01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,600 And I get that. Like when you throw those two 1263 01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:07,200 emotions together, well, now you it's it's, it's, it's a little 1264 01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:08,960 combustible. Now you're pissed off and you're 1265 01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,080 on edge and you're a little ornery. 1266 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,160 Right. But when you actually step back 1267 01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,040 from the situation and look at it pragmatically and understand 1268 01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:20,000 that number one, they're not done #2 they're picked to win as 1269 01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:24,360 many games as anybody outside of the Dodgers, then you know that 1270 01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,000 there's a different route to get to where you want to go. 1271 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,440 And I think that that's, you know, that's what you got to 1272 01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,040 hang your hat on right now. And for the met point of view, 1273 01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,680 you know, they were sitting there saying, my God, we got rid 1274 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:37,760 of Nimmo, we got rid of Pete, we got rid of this guy. 1275 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:39,960 We got rid of that guy. And then it didn't really seem 1276 01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:41,000 like they were going to sign anybody. 1277 01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,000 Like when they got Polanco and Sydney and a lot of you were 1278 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,200 like, the hell we doing here. But then the other moves came a 1279 01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,760 little younger, more athletic, so and more aggressive. 1280 01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:51,840 You just you don't know what tomorrow brings. 1281 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:53,440 I know that that's such a basic statement. 1282 01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:55,880 So just try try to straddle the line. 1283 01:00:55,960 --> 01:01:00,160 All right, be invested, be engaged, be passionate, but also 1284 01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:03,320 be realistic and understanding that there's this thing called 1285 01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,640 the trade deadline and there's thing this thing called the 1286 01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,440 calendar. And right now it still reads 1287 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:08,840 January. That's all I'm saying. 1288 01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:14,400 Just understand that at Strat strategy, not an easy word to 1289 01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:17,760 say. Strategy or stratagry either 1290 01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:19,080 way. Yeah, just shave it. 1291 01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:20,800 Look how? Look how clean I look. 1292 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,560 I mean, you have to, you have to. 1293 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,480 I remember once in a while Tiki, that's where I came up with the 1294 01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,640 George Jefferson reference from Tiki would come. 1295 01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,120 Now, Tiki looks like an Adonis looks like an absolute Adonis. 1296 01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,520 Like you see Tiki in these clips on YouTube. 1297 01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:38,360 He is absolutely swole, like his arms are jacked. 1298 01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,120 His check. Now he also goes with the SH 1299 01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,360 medium. You know, I mean, Tiki likes 1300 01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:44,080 those tight shirts. And by the way, if you look like 1301 01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,000 that, I don't blame you. But he's also very 1302 01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:49,280 proportionate. Like, you know, he's got not to 1303 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:51,760 sound like I'm. Yeah, they think the guy, you 1304 01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,960 know, they're trying to date the guy, but he's got these like his 1305 01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:58,360 thighs are stacked, his chest is stacked and he's got these 1306 01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,840 perfect white teeth, right? Got a perfectly chiseled face. 1307 01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,120 He always dresses well. It looks like a gazillion 1308 01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:06,680 dollars, right? He really is a good looking guy 1309 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:08,600 who presents himself really well. 1310 01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,280 But every once in a while he would come as when we were on 1311 01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,200 the really more so on the fan, because when we were on the fan, 1312 01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,480 we weren't on TV, but when we were doing the national show, 1313 01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,280 when we were on YouTube, whatever, But so you can watch 1314 01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,360 us there. But we weren't on a network like 1315 01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,720 we were when we were doing the national afternoon show on CBS 1316 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:26,440 Sports Network. So they wouldn't dare do it. 1317 01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:29,680 Then every once in a while, Teak would roll in and he'd had the 1318 01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:31,840 sides here. And you know, even though I've 1319 01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,560 got a little of the horseshoe, he's got a full blown George 1320 01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,200 Jefferson horseshoe. I'm like, what in the world are 1321 01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,320 you doing? No matter how good you look, 1322 01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,360 it's offset by what's up, what's going on at the top of your 1323 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:42,560 head. What happened? 1324 01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:45,840 All right, anyway, let me bounce. 1325 01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:48,160 I had to do a little bit of a shorter 1 today just because I 1326 01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,480 do have to jump in the shower, shave the Dome. 1327 01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,360 Cars coming to 10:30. Go talk about some youth sports 1328 01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:56,560 tomorrow. Back to usual. 10:00 You get the 1329 01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,240 safe yet? If you had, you know, I had to 1330 01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,640 take a guess. I feel like The Jets will end up 1331 01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:07,280 with Frank Reich. I feel like Wink, I think 1332 01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,320 there's a little bit of a trapdoor there, you know, 1333 01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,520 interview three days ago, still going back and forth. 1334 01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,200 I'd be good with Wink. Something tells me that that is 1335 01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,720 not going to happen. That's my guess with that. 1336 01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,440 So I'll go Frank Reich and I could see them going to Chris 1337 01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,920 Harris, which I don't, I don't really love, or Leonard, which I 1338 01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:25,560 would like more. And then obviously this other 1339 01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:27,080 thing and I just spent 2-3 minutes on it. 1340 01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:30,280 But this Bears watching as we get toward February 5 in the NBA 1341 01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:31,680 trade down. Talk about baseball trade 1342 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:35,200 deadline, the NBA trade deadline where, you know, I mean, the 1343 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,400 Knicks right now, a lot of rumblings taking a look at Drew 1344 01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,520 Holiday trying to get that third team involved. 1345 01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,920 And, you know, now you got people, you know, trying to 1346 01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:45,600 align themselves with Giannis. Hey, I could get you to your 1347 01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,480 preferred destination. And I mean that would be a next 1348 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,880 level move if the Knicks are able And I I I don't know if I 1349 01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,120 mean, it's possible. I think it's a lot. 1350 01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,560 It's a lot to expect because of their lack of first round picks. 1351 01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:59,520 It's just a it's a very complex deal. 1352 01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:03,960 But if they walk away with Drew Holiday as defensive big shot 1353 01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:08,080 back court mate for Jaylen Brunson, I mean, and you get 1354 01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:13,320 Giannis and you ship out cat and bridges, which is all the 1355 01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:17,000 rumblings there. I'm in and it's on. 1356 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:20,120 So hopefully that happens. I would say the odds maybe 1357 01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:23,040 twenty 2530% that all that does come to fruition. 1358 01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:26,120 But hey, I'm here for it if it does so have a great Tuesday. 1359 01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:28,000 I will obviously see you tomorrow at 10. 1360 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,960 Anything breaks when I get back from shooting the show, I'll pop 1361 01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:32,240 on.
