1 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,640 This is on leash. Are you listening? 2 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:12,560 Can you hear me? Hear me. 3 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,160 This is on leash. Are you listening? 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,080 Can you hear me? Hear me. 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,640 This is on leash. Are you listening? 6 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:17,560 Can you hear me? Hear me. 7 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,160 This is on leash. Are you listening? 8 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:20,080 Can you hear me? Hear me. 9 00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:21,920 This is on leash. Are. 10 00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:27,320 You listening going on, everybody, BT unleashed on this 11 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,400 Monday, 10 days, 10 days, TikTok. 12 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,560 We move toward the NFL draft, which obviously is going to be a 13 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,880 lot of juice here, not just for the local teams. 14 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,920 I think there's going to be a ton of trades and a ton of 15 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,440 action. So the NFL draft is around the 16 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,840 corner. NBA regular season wraps up, 17 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,240 Rory. Rory, you know, we're going to 18 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,080 get to this later with three Bernie questions. 19 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,160 Rory, very interesting to see where Rory is going to wind up 20 00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:54,360 all time. But he was trying to get that 21 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,240 thing away. Scotty Scheffler coming down the 22 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,840 stretch, you know, it was the Masters is phenomenal. 23 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,600 So obviously we've got a lot to do, starting with the circus. 24 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,840 The the I, I don't, I don't know. 25 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,320 I don't know what the Hell's going on with New York baseball 26 00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:12,760 right now. The, the Yankees see there, 27 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,200 there is a difference between the Yankees and the Mets right 28 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,440 now. There's not much, because they 29 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,000 both suck right now. The difference, though, is that 30 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,280 the Yankees aren't performing. And that, and that's a big 31 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,240 enough of an issue. I'm not minimizing that the 32 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,560 Yankees aren't performing. The Mets don't even look like 33 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,760 they care like the and, and really most of that that you 34 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,880 know what, I'm going to take that back and I'm going to say 35 00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:39,600 Francisco Lindor does not look like he even cares. 36 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,560 And really from a Yankee perspective, Jazz has had some 37 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,280 of those moments as well. But like the Yankee issues where 38 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,920 they've lost five straight and the Mets who have lost five 39 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,680 straight, Yankees just have a lot of guys who aren't hitting. 40 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,800 Yankees have pitched very well and they've got, you know, 41 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,600 basically four or five guys hit up to 200 where, you know, the 42 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,760 Mets obviously miss Juan Soto. But I mean, I don't, I don't 43 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,240 know what the story is. Lindor. 44 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,840 It's not just a funk. It's not just a rough start. 45 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,680 It's not just, well, it's what Lindor does every April, every 46 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,200 April. Francisco Lindor has been in 47 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,800 space. He has been an absolute space 48 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,560 outer space from the first game of the season. 49 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,440 And you know, his manager, I think, but Mehndi generally, 50 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,280 well, not more than general. I think Mehndi does a, a really 51 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,360 good job. He's not alone. 52 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,600 I mean, none of these managers really say anything negative 53 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,200 about their players anymore. Everybody's terrified to call 54 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,880 somebody out, even booty. I, I'll tell you what I know. 55 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,840 I, I, I feel today's one of those days where I just feel 56 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,680 like jumping around because there's so many things and 57 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,240 there's a lot of good things, but there's so many things that 58 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,320 bothered me about the baseball over the weekend. 59 00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:54,480 And I tweeted this like, Boones got to kick Jazz in the ass. 60 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,040 You know, Jazz Chisholm got to wake up and Aaron Boones got to 61 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,760 sit him and Aaron Boone seemingly, and I love them, but 62 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,640 he's got no appetite to do that. And that's a problem all right 63 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,760 now and I'll get back. I just had to get that. 64 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,520 That felt that felt oddly cathartic, even though it wasn't 65 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,320 much like I I couldn't not get a little bit on Jazz before I 66 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,680 started the show. And I'll I'll get back to that, 67 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,920 right. Yankees have issues. 68 00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:19,520 I don't think they're as deep as the Mets, but they've got some 69 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,440 issues, right? The Mets. 70 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,160 So when they were playing sloppy ball at the beginning of the 71 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,000 season, I said one of the shows, it was a Monday probably 2 weeks 72 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:30,960 ago. Whatever it was, you could go 73 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,360 check it out. And I said, Mendy better get 74 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,120 this thing right. You know, Carlos Mendoza better 75 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,720 stabilize this thing because now the excuses are out, you know, 76 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,480 are out the window here. You got rid of Nemo, who by the 77 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,480 way, is crushing it all right? You got rid of Pete, who's doing 78 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,680 nothing. You know, Diaz is gone. 79 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,400 We know what they've done. We know what Stearns has done 80 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,960 here. The only other place to look at 81 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,040 this point would be the manager and the the other store player, 82 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,040 and that would be Lindor. And the other store, of course, 83 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,200 is 1. Soto, who is basically beyond 84 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,400 reproach #1 he's just a lot better than Lindor and #2 he's 85 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,640 not healthy. So Mendoza, like many managers, 86 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,400 as I started to say, they just very rarely give you the blunt, 87 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,680 honest truth about performance. And you know that that is 88 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,920 something that has changed dramatically around sports. 89 00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:20,000 I it bothers me like I'm from the school. 90 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,600 I don't mean that you divulge secrets or, you know, you 91 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,120 embarrass somebody, but like, we're not dumb. 92 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,480 Like we know what we're watching. 93 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,800 You know, when, when we see somebody who either number one, 94 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,240 this is the Lindor Follies. Let let me get to hold on. 95 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,360 Let me open up the the drawer. Let me get the Lindor follies 96 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,240 for 20. It's it's pretty extensive draw 97 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,120 here. We all right, there's all the 98 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:46,600 filings right there. All right #1A a very strange non 99 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,360 direct path on a double against the pirates opening weekend 100 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,160 where he even took ownership of this and didn't have a good 101 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:54,960 route. Why not? 102 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,440 You're a good baserunner. You know, you're fast and you're 103 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,400 a smart base runner. So that's on you. 104 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,160 You know, I don't want to hear about the third base coach over 105 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,480 aggressive. Oh, you got a couple of guys on 106 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,080 nobody out. No, no, If the Mets are trying 107 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,160 to play an aggressive brand to baseball this year, which I 108 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,680 actually really like. And they talked about this going 109 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,360 into the series with the Pirates where they thought that they can 110 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,360 run on the Pirates and put stress on their defense. 111 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,480 Well, the moment that you step on the field, you know how 112 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,880 you're going to how the coach is going to react. 113 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,320 We're sending you we're waving you home. 114 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,440 Let's go bowl down the line. Bowl the gap. 115 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,840 Let's go cut the corner of the base and let's go Lindor out at 116 00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:32,080 the plate. All right, I didn't crush him 117 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,760 for that because it's a baseball play, right? 118 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,720 But along the way, let me check the files again. 119 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,640 Along the way we have seen an All Star shortstop not know how 120 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,920 many outs there are in an inning. 121 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,800 We have seen an All Star shortstop over this weekend for 122 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,400 some reason basically veer over to deep second base and not 123 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,280 cover the bag, which by the way is your responsibility. 124 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,880 Which by the way negated a very potential double play which 125 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,440 would have changed the outcome of the game. 126 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,480 We saw about a week or so ago the same All Star looking down 127 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,640 at his oven Mitt. Imagine having a conversation in 128 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,200 1983. Hey, Ricky Henderson got picked 129 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,320 off because he was looking down at his oven Mitt. 130 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,320 I mean, oven Mitt. Yeah, Come on, man. 131 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,120 So he is in space. It doesn't look like he's having 132 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,280 fun. It doesn't look like he wants to 133 00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:26,320 be here. And it doesn't look like he's 134 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,800 going to bust out of it anytime. Because I got news for you right 135 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,440 now. Eventually, Francisco Lindor is 136 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,920 going to hit because I think he's too talented not to. 137 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,160 But that's that's not good enough, man. 138 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,640 And what is what is no longer good enough for me and. 139 00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:41,600 And I, I think Met fans are disgusted by it. 140 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,680 I think that you have hit your limit. 141 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,040 Like there was a point, I remember, I think it was two 142 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,920 years ago, there was a ball up the middle on a Friday night. 143 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,000 I think, I think it was a Friday, maybe a Saturday, but it 144 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,600 was a weekend game. And he booted the ball up the 145 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,960 middle and maybe he could have gunned down somebody to play 146 00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:02,080 whatever. It was kind of a slow roller up 147 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,280 the middle, botched it. And and really this is when all 148 00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:07,600 the stuff was going on at the fan with me talking about the 149 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,800 door. So obviously my eyes perked up 150 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,760 even more. But I got on the air the next 151 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,160 day and I think some people thought that I was going to shit 152 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,920 all over him. And I actually gave him credit 153 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,280 for being a stand up guy, taking the thumb, putting it at the 154 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,320 chest, taking ownership. We know what happened, we saw 155 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,320 it. And really, you know, I thought 156 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,040 demonstrating very tangible leadership qualities by just 157 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,320 being so humble and accountable, Hey, nobody wants to hear it 158 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,720 anymore. Make the place, bro. 159 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,520 Nobody wants to hear you at your locker. 160 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,560 Like I'm done loading Francisco Lindor for just being honest 161 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,600 about his shit performance. Oh wow, what a stand up guy. 162 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,840 Lindor. What a good dude. 163 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,200 Oh, he's such a leader. He's such a team guy Then you 164 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,280 know about that. Lindor always stands up there, 165 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,560 always answers the questions. How about you start making some 166 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,520 plays? Do you have any interest in 167 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,080 doing that at any point? Because here's what's happening 168 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,960 with Lindor #1 and guys, this was visible last year and I 169 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,760 didn't make too much of it because it was counter to what 170 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,120 he had put up, put on film and and really his resume up until 171 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,480 this point. Francisco Lindor took a step 172 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,600 back defensively last year. That's a fact. 173 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,720 I didn't make a big deal out of it, but I didn't forget it. 174 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,400 And now we bleed into this year when now I guess they're buddies 175 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,000 because I saw Nimmo and Lindor talking. 176 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,200 Oh, no, we're good. We're straight. 177 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,200 No problem. Yeah. 178 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,000 OK. Right. 179 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,280 They couldn't. They wanted to fight each other. 180 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,559 They couldn't stand each other. Now everything's good. 181 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,880 That was a bunch of nonsense, that relationship and and it. 182 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,039 Listen, not not that McNeil needs to spill the beans now, 183 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,919 but don't tell me that there was never a problem. 184 00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:44,280 You got. He grabbed you by the throat in 185 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,560 the tunnel. I mean, what, are you kidding 186 00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:46,240 me? Yeah. 187 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,240 I'd have to say that there's a bit of a problem there. 188 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,320 So now everybody's been run out of town. 189 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,400 Everybody's gone. Juan Soto is the golden 190 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,040 parachute, like the golden ticket to Met fans. 191 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,200 Not that he'll never be, and he should be. 192 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,400 Not that he'll never be beyond reproach. 193 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,080 But right now #1 he not even playing. 194 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,120 And #2 when he does play, he hits. 195 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,160 All right. So. 196 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,840 And #3 the other guy who's making a lot of money looks like 197 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,960 a minor leaguer who would rather be anywhere. 198 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,840 I don't know. Is it the campaign trail? 199 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,440 I I don't know where Lindor's head is, but it's not where it 200 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,800 needs to be. So when Carlos Mendoza over over 201 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,400 the weekend using the word weird, you know, that's you 202 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,800 know, for him. I mean, that's that that's 203 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,360 that's akin to him basically saying this guy's a freaking 204 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,200 scrub, which I know he's not. I'm just I'm just making a 205 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,680 point. Like you got to understand that 206 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,040 Carlos spend those and and boom too, too much. 207 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,560 They always defend their guys like everybody else in sports. 208 00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:50,480 All right, God forbid you put the onus on the doorstep and not 209 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,000 just Lindor talking about in general. 210 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,400 Now, just generalities in sports put the onus on the doorstep of, 211 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,680 I don't know, the guy who's making 40 mil, the guy who's 212 00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:01,640 making 45 mil, the guy was making 50 million. 213 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,880 God forbid, God forbid those guys feel the heat a little bit. 214 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,920 You know, how many situations have we had? 215 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,280 And, you know, Boney let Donaldson get away with it a 216 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,880 couple of times when he was pimping home runs that didn't go 217 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,200 over the fence. We've seen it with Mendoza. 218 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,480 We've seen guys not hustle. We've seen Alvarez be a little 219 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,600 lazy behind the dish. Just goes unchecked. 220 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,440 It just goes unchecked. It really is amazing to me, but 221 00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:29,760 the issues it's, it's, it's very, it's very interesting 222 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,200 because they both literally are in a 5 game losing streak. 223 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,800 So right now the Yankees and the Mets very much look the same. 224 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,800 I think the Mets had what was the stat? 225 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,680 They had like 6 extra base hits on or five on the home stand in 226 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,080 in all the games. I mean, the and the Yankees 227 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,160 offense is just equally pathetic. 228 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,840 You got nobody to pinch hit grit. 229 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,160 Shit, get rid of him. Would you call up Jason 230 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,000 Dominguez? Would you get him up here, 231 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,400 please? I don't need to see Grichik. 232 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,280 I don't need to see like the lineup. 233 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,000 The lineups have problems all right now. 234 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000 I do think that the Yankees chemistry is pretty good. 235 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,320 I think the Yankees pitching is really good. 236 00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:11,720 I know it's going to get better with Gerrit Cole and Rodon. 237 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,760 I'm not worried about the Yankees. 238 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,560 I'm bothered by the Yankees because they look like shit. 239 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,640 I'm bothered by the Yankees because they started out, what, 240 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,720 6 of winning six of seven? And while everybody else was 241 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,920 kind of, you know, dancing around and just kind of throw a 242 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,600 little token jabs, the Yankees were coming out hitting some 243 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,440 people on the chin. And I'm like, OK, they could go 244 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,000 up a couple of rounds on the score, on the scorecard early. 245 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,480 And now they flushed that down the chute because they can't 246 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,160 hit. I know Judge hit the home run 247 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,840 yesterday. He's been invisible. 248 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,120 And you know, Wells is hitting one. 249 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,080 Whatever, Chisholm's a disaster. Ryan McMahon's the worst hitting 250 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,920 third baseman I've ever seen in my life. 251 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,800 I mean, it's just they got a lot of problem, you know, the center 252 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,640 fielder who? Everybody from a Yankee point of 253 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,120 view. I don't mean us, the fans, from 254 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,720 a Yankee point of view. We're thrilled to have back guy. 255 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,040 All right? Trent Grisham back. 22,000,000 256 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,760 bucks on the qualifying offer. Fantastic. 257 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,200 Yeah. How's that look now? 258 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,720 How's it look? Yeah, he's hitting 150. 259 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,360 I mean, there are there are just some gross, gross performances 260 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,720 here, guys, and I really don't understand why. 261 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,560 All right, BT unleashed here.

Sir, what's up? 277 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,120 What's up? Unleash fam. 278 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,760 Some nasty some nasty baseball stuff. 279 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,880 I know, man. I mean, and listen, I know 280 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,400 you'll get into the jazz thing, but like, that's one of those 281 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,920 plays I call it's like a grandma. 282 00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:14,120 That's like my word for it. It's like a play that even if 283 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,600 your grandma, who knew nothing about the sport so would still 284 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,000 go. Man, Yeah, yeah, yeah. 285 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,160 What is he thinking? What is he doing? 286 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,240 How do you not know that? I mean, the I'm going to get 287 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:28,720 into it now. The optics of that now it's it's 288 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,680 about as it's this is like the the I don't know if there's a 289 00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:35,920 better or there probably is. Maybe I'm a prisoner at the 290 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,120 moment, but I don't know that there's a much better 291 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,360 illumination of the disconnect between the modern athlete and 292 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,320 the average fan who's been schlepping and jumping through 293 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:50,080 freaking hoops to watch on Prime and Apple and you know, channel 294 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,600 Channel 9 and Channel 11, the Mets with the Yanks when they're 295 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,280 on normal TV and S&Y and yes, and what is it that's on 296 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,480 Peacock? What opening days on Netflix, 297 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,960 That imagery of, of Jazz Chisholm sitting in his locker, 298 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:07,640 twisting his earring, not having a clue, not a clue about the the 299 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,200 rule book is really just about as embarrassing as it gets. 300 00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:14,920 Really. Now I, I listen, I I got to say 301 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,040 one thing too, and I've always got to keep it real. 302 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,080 You know, I love Aaron Boone. I would have sat him down. 303 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,720 Boone is not gonna do that. He's I texted it and I tweeted 304 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,160 it. I all to many people over the 305 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,600 weekend. I would have sat him down. 306 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,040 Send the message, All right? That's not what Boone's going to 307 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,440 do. And by the way, if you're a Met 308 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,720 fan chirping about, you know, hey, Mendy, sit him down #1 the 309 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,480 day that he finally gets two hits is probably not the day to 310 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,440 sit him down. But Mendy's not going to sit 311 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,880 down and do a ride. Not going to happen. 312 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,400 All right, When these guys, when these guys are used to playing 313 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,360 every day and they're making big money, in this case, Lindor more 314 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,080 than Jazz, obviously, they're just, they're basically beyond 315 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,600 reproach. Now, you might get a little bit 316 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,360 of a stern talking to behind closed doors. 317 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,760 I do think that well, because I've had real like real man to 318 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,720 man conversations with Boon when there's no cameras. 319 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,240 I haven't had that with men with Mendy. 320 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,960 So I want to be fair. Maybe he's very much the same 321 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:08,840 way. I I don't know. 322 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,320 He he very well might think it's a baseball guy, But like I've 323 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,240 had conversations, whether it's on the phone or in personal Boon 324 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,120 and it just talking guy to guy, you know, a couple of F bombs 325 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,960 that he keeps it real with certain players. 326 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,840 I know what he thinks about certain players. 327 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,320 All right, but he's not going to communicate it to you. 328 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,760 And I know that you want it and I know that you want the pound 329 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,360 of flesh. And I understand that on some 330 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,240 level for some crazy reason, because we're all crazy at the 331 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,360 end of the day with these sports teams, right? 332 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,040 It is cathartic. It is I'm not going to lie to 333 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,200 you, like when The Jets when I get on after a Jets game, Jets 334 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,440 lose. Just throw something out here. 335 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,960 Oh, it was a competitive 30 to 6. 336 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,720 This was a tight one. We battled right, Jets lose 30 337 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,360 to 6. J Rod was doing the postgame 338 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,360 show with me for unkillable when I was still with the fan doing 339 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,800 that stuff right and I get on the air, you know, and you know, 340 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,600 I launched into a little tirade. I drop a couple of F bombs, All 341 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,280 right, not the most becoming. It's a little unbecoming 342 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,840 language. I get it for some, but tough 343 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,240 because when I say when I say that, it makes me feel just 344 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,280 oddly is cathartic. It's like a it's like an aspirin 345 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,760 for my football headache. OK, I say it and I if I 346 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,840 punctuated properly, like if I really, really accentuate the K, 347 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,760 like, fuck, you know, I'm not going to just yeah, like, I'm 348 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,440 like, I felt I felt better. I'm I'm good, even though it 349 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,360 doesn't change the result. And it applies as well, J Rod, 350 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,000 to those Yankees and Mets fans who are calling up whether it's 351 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,640 the fan tweeting, doing it, whatever you're doing, sit this 352 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,440 guy, you know, undress this guy. Boonies got to stop protecting 353 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,080 Jazz for not knowing the knowing the rules. 354 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,640 All right, let let let's explore that. 355 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:39,920 Keep that up there. I'll get that in a minute. 356 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,080 Keep that up there. And, and, and, and think about 357 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,960 this for a moment, guys, right? Let's just say that Aaron Boone 358 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,440 did what some of you want him to do. 359 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,720 So instead of saying, I think Boone's exact quote was, hey, 360 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,000 he's a smart guy. He definitely knew the rule book 361 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,200 or he knows the rule book. It's one of those things that 362 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,960 basically that you just wrotely respond without giving it much 363 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,040 thought. You wrotely respond to a 364 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,880 question from the media and you just try to keep the train 365 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,160 moving and get onto the team bus and whatever. 366 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,920 And by doing that, sometimes you can say something that's either 367 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,880 inflammatory or or or really bothers a fan base like in this 368 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,599 case, right. So if Boone would have taken the 369 00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:20,079 exact opposite approach, Oh, this guy, you know, listen, 370 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,400 Chad, let's just say, hey, I'm going to be I'm going to be 371 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:23,760 Aaron Boone right now. All right. 372 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,920 I would do this with Sal once while role play. 373 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,640 I'm Boone. I want you to be a reporter and 374 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,880 I want you to ask me about jazz Chism and that last play. 375 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,440 Go ahead. And this is going to be wrong. 376 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,720 Go ahead. Hey, Boonie. 377 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,120 So I mean some kind of disastrous stuff back there. 378 00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:43,080 Well, what were your thoughts on Jazz Chism's last play there? 379 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,440 He's a fucking space cadet. He's absolutely, he has no idea 380 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,920 what he's doing. I mean, I'm tired of it, you 381 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,960 know, quite frankly. Here's a guy who three months 382 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,160 ago was telling the whole world he's going 5050. 383 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,480 Now he's sitting $1.20 my ass, whatever he's at, you know, and 384 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,320 he's a guy who sometimes seems a little bit too consumed with 385 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,920 style and not enough about substance. 386 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,680 So I mean, listen, he's on the team. 387 00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:11,760 You know, once again Castman gave me a shit or shit roster. 388 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,160 What do you want me to do? I got Caballero, I got grid 389 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,120 chick, I got Wells who can't get hit himself out of a wet paper 390 00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:19,480 Bay. What do you want me to do? 391 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,320 I got McMahon who's hitting O 90 before he got a hit the other 392 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,520 day. What would you do? 393 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,600 Who do you want to play? Yeah, just I don't want Jazz 394 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,400 here for a long time. I don't trust that guy. 395 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,800 Would you trust Jazz if you're me? 396 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,560 If you're me and we are playing the Dodgers in the World Series, 397 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,120 you're playing Toronto up up there in October or in the Bronx 398 00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:39,080 in front of 50 to 40, 5000 October. 399 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,520 Do you want that guy up with first and second in a in in a 400 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,680 situational hitting, you know, spot where he's swinging for the 401 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,280 moon thinking he's a skinny Babe Ruth? 402 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,840 You want that? I don't want that. 403 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,520 We all know the answer. This guy ain't long from New 404 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,160 York, but as long as Cashman keeps him here, I got to run his 405 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,760 ass out there. Next question. 406 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,520 All right, that's Jay. Jay. 407 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,200 I, I obviously laid it on a little thick there, but 408 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,120 understand why I did that, right? 409 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:08,000 I'm just trying to be fair to the conversation. 410 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,520 I know what Boone said was benign. 411 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,520 I don't really believe that he believes everything that he said 412 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:15,640 to be fair. I don't. 413 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,800 All right, I don't, but if he took the approach that I just 414 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,000 put out there, right? Think about the story today it 415 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,120 is all day. It is all day yesterday. 416 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,120 And now it goes into, well now you got to go back to Jazz and 417 00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:32,280 get Jazz's response and hey listen, you know Jazz, you hear 418 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,160 what Booney said about you, then maybe he says something, you 419 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,360 know, and further inflammatory defends himself, which by the 420 00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:40,960 way, I actually wouldn't be mad if he did. 421 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,800 And then that drags out another day or two and now you got a 422 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,600 shitstorm 5 days story and it's just unnecessary noise. 423 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,400 And really guys, if you think about it now, I've always said I 424 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,360 think he's good, but I've always said Aaron Boone's not Miller 425 00:19:56,360 --> 00:20:00,240 Huggins or Billy Martin in terms of being a, a tactician. 426 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,000 Like he knows the game 'cause he's a fourth generation, you 427 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,080 know, baseball player been around the game forever. 428 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,520 I think he's got, I know he's got the respect of his players. 429 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,720 I, I absolutely believe that. But he's he's not going to. 430 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,960 Be something at this point, 8-9 years in that you want him to 431 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,400 be. He's going to be true to 432 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,200 himself, which I respect. And I actually think Aaron's 433 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,640 greatest characteristic is that he's able to keep those 434 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,480 controversies, those flare ups to a minimum. 435 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,200 And in New York, that might not matter if you're the manager of 436 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,920 the Guardians. That might not Matt, no 437 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,000 disrespect. That might not matter if you're 438 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,680 managing the Twins or the Rays or the Rangers or really any 439 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,040 other team but the Yankees, the Mets, the Red Sox, the Phillies, 440 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,680 maybe want maybe the Cubbies, you know, that can get away, you 441 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,280 know, and that's probably it. Even the Giants, who are, you 442 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,440 know, who won 33 championships in the 2000 in the 20 tens. 443 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,280 I, I worked there, I did afternoon drive there. 444 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,200 Trust me, I know the fans not as well as people who are from 445 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,800 there, you know, born and raised, but I've got more than a 446 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,280 modicum of, of, of knowledge of how they operate. 447 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,640 They don't operate the way they operate on the East Coast. 448 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,480 They're not wired that way. So all this stuff and it's a lot 449 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,920 of stuff that I threw out there. The bottom line is this Yankees 450 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:23,120 lineup sucks OK, and the Mets lineup sucks. 451 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,360 And the Mets, to me, have more of a problem because their 452 00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:30,920 second star looks like he wants to be anywhere other than 453 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,000 playing shortstop for the Mets. There we go. 454 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,080 I'm saying that true, just true. Hold on, let me pull up this 455 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,320 super chat. But it's going to be it's going 456 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,960 to be two in one. So it's like this dude really 457 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,280 hooked it up. Shout out Rich Squires 986. 458 00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:46,880 What up, Richie? What up, Richie? 459 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,920 Well, hold on now that you say really hooked it up. 460 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,120 Not that we're out here begging for money, but we had a $50 461 00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:53,560 super chat doing The Jets collected the other night. 50 462 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,320 bucks. Now that's really hooked. 463 00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:57,800 I'm just, I'm not teasing that hat, Rich. 464 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:58,840 I'm just messing around. Go ahead. 465 00:21:58,840 --> 00:21:59,280 What? Do you got? 466 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,760 That's crazy. So yeah, it's like 2 in one. 467 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,960 So I guess I can go through the first one and then I'll go 468 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,800 through the 2nd. OK. 469 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,920 So you want to read it and then just kind of plug it as you get 470 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:07,640 to the next one? Sure. 471 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,040 All right, go ahead. All right, same crap. 472 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,200 Different year this is on Boone for how he constructed this team 473 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,720 now he meant to say Cashman he'll. 474 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,880 I was gonna say OK. No accountability and overpaid 475 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,480 players that should have never been signed that are holding 476 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,280 back players in the minors all right now. 477 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,400 Part 2 got it. Meant to say Cashman constructed 478 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,720 the team but I also am tired of hearing. 479 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,160 Wait until judge heats up. If you are relying on one 480 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,280 superstar to carrier team, you can't put the World Series team 481 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,200 together. Yep. 482 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,440 Amen. Richie Squires, I'm with you, 483 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,120 buddy. And those are two very different 484 00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:43,000 things. I like the correction that you 485 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,120 made because as soon as I read that first line, I was grabbing 486 00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:47,240 my pen and I was making that notation. 487 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,160 I was going to go back to it. I don't have to because you did 488 00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:52,120 listen. So, but I did write down to 489 00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:54,880 buzzwords that that you reference accountability and 490 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,800 overpaid terms, overpaid players right now, those are two very 491 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,080 different things. Accountability, I think that's a 492 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,840 a macro organizational thing from how, you know, Yankees not 493 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,160 winning a championship since 2000 and apparently that being 494 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,360 OK because everybody's still employed. 495 00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:17,640 So you have how down to Cashman, Cashman down to Boone, Boone 496 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,320 down to the coaches and to the players. 497 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,840 So that's one aspect of accountability, I think. 498 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,760 I think that you're talking about accountability from the 499 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,840 players and Boone. I don't think you meant it as 500 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,520 big picture. I just wanted to throw it out 501 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,960 there. And then obviously the overpaid 502 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,240 players, that's Cashman thing. All right, So listen, I mean, of 503 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,680 course there there's an expiration point for everybody. 504 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,200 And if the Yankees underachieved this year, then I would probably 505 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,440 say it's time for new manager. And I've I've talked to Aaron 506 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,440 about this. I'm not just going to forever 507 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,440 sit here doing this and saying, Nope, Boone's got to be the 508 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:52,640 manager. Nope, Boone's my guy. 509 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,440 I will forever sit here and defend that man's character 510 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:56,880 because then he's got a heart of gold. 511 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,080 And I think he's he's got a, an incredible, he's got a lot of 512 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,480 good in him. And I and I and I, I try to 513 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,960 defend people like that, but I'm not going to do it to a point 514 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,320 where it now challenges, you know, my reputation, whatever it 515 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,200 might be. It is early in the season, but 516 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,080 it's almost a decade of Aaron Boone being here. 517 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,640 Now, that being said, all right to me and a lot of you messed 518 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,320 this up. You don't, I don't mess this up. 519 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,320 You messed this up. A lot of you just push back and 520 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,320 it just makes no sense when you do because it's not accurate. 521 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:33,560 I asked Yankee fans and it's such a simple question and 522 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,680 nobody ever answers it properly. Or I shouldn't say nobody. 523 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,760 Very few. All right, and here's the 524 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,120 question. Name the year. 525 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,040 I'm going to say it's slow, so we can get this one right today. 526 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,440 All right? I'd like to be able to 527 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,360 eventually get this right today and move on. 528 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,520 So it'll have to keep going back to this little lesson. 529 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,520 Come on, you guys are smart. You guys got to know this. 530 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,560 Just think. Put the emotion aside for a 531 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,880 moment and answer it with your brain, all right? 532 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,680 Not the anger that's pulsating through your body because the 533 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,040 Yankees have dropped five straight. 534 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:07,640 Name the year, name the season. Name the team where you believe 535 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:13,360 that Aaron Boone has underachieved as the manager of 536 00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:16,840 the Yankees now. I don't mean, you know, name the 537 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,840 year where he had a bad move because, and I crushed him for 538 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,120 it. I got on the air the next day. 539 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,600 Why the hell are you throwing Cortez out there with the bases 540 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,200 juiced in game one of the World Series with Freddie Freeman when 541 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,600 Cortez hadn't thrown a meaningful pitch and Lord knows 542 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,400 when? Who doesn't even have elite 543 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,920 stuff? I got on him for that 100% and I 544 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,200 am on the record Jazz. He would be sitting like I I 545 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,240 would bench people more than he does. 546 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,320 I would not have Trent Grisham bat lead off. 547 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,280 Can't stand them there all right. 548 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,320 Can't stand them bat lead off. These are all things we know. 549 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,120 These are all things we flush through, but answer the question 550 00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:55,800 that you can't. If you're honest, name the year 551 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,600 that you believe Aaron Boone underachieved as manager of the 552 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,520 Yankees. Now, to answer that, let's it 553 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,560 doesn't mean that he's perfect. Those are two separate things, 554 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,840 obviously. But if you answer that and you 555 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,280 like point to a year, whatever. If you want to say a couple 556 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,720 years ago with Soto in the World Series, I would disagree. 557 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,280 Dodgers were better, but OK, what else? 558 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:23,880 Because if you're saying that it was 2022 or 20/23/2023 or 2121, 559 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,200 whatever it might have been, what you're really saying is 560 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:33,600 that the Yankees went into a season with the indisputably the 561 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:38,200 best roster, the best lineup, the best pitching staff, best 562 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,920 bullpen, locked and loaded. Here's our lineup every day, one 563 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,880 through 9, like the old days, you know, and Jeter got Bernie 564 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,960 got Tino, you got this guy got O'Neal in the three hole, you 565 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,160 got Posada. We have the dish. 566 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,640 Switch it and catch with power. Like that was what Tori could 567 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,720 do. Now put yourself in Boone shoes. 568 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,560 And it's not a defense. It's just an acknowledgement of 569 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,320 how poor of a job Brian Cashman has done. 570 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,120 So all these years, because I say that guys, because if you're 571 00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:12,000 not underachieving, I don't really see the need to change, 572 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,920 although admittedly, at some point the voice does get stale 573 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,920 and at some point the messaging falls on deaf ears. 574 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,720 I I get that's a real thing with every team. 575 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,480 I don't care who you are, what the payroll is and and how well 576 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,640 respected the manager is, right? So I don't, I don't think that 577 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,960 this Yankees team is there because I think Judge respects 578 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,640 Boone for sure. I think Bellinger does as well. 579 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,800 And you just got to hit better. And if you don't hit better, it 580 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,200 doesn't matter who's in the dugout. 581 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,240 Could be Billy Martin, but that's that. 582 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,400 Think about that. All the different Yankee 583 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,200 iterations all these years, you know, they've they've really 584 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,800 never had a first baseman till now. 585 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,560 Think about all the different first baseman, you know, broken 586 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,760 down Rizzo, Luke Voit during COVID. 587 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:56,680 I mean, Oh my God, they've had a Glaber who was a good second 588 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,480 baseman. But let's face it, a source of 589 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,960 our consternation for years because he was a little Spacey 590 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,920 as well, not as much as Jazz, but he was a space cadet as 591 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,720 well. You haven't had a shortstop 592 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,240 since one year, one Goodyear from DD, and then obviously 593 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,040 Jeter, right? You've had 9000 third baseman. 594 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,880 Basically they all stink. You've had 7 left fielders, 595 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,360 basically they all stink. You've had a bunch of center 596 00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:20,400 fielders. You had Judge in center out of 597 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:26,080 necessity, which is alarmingly cavalier for a big bodied 598 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,160 superstar to have to play center field when you're 67280 because 599 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,720 you got nobody else. Think about all the catchers. 600 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,760 Think about trying to piece together bullpens, thinking 601 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,720 about the rotation before you got freed. 602 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,320 So that's a Cashman thing. All right. 603 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,480 And if you don't see that and you don't agree at this point, I 604 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,080 don't know what to tell you, man. 605 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,960 I don't know what to tell you. But what I am telling you is, 606 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,600 and this doesn't make it right, but to expect Boone to deviate 607 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,600 from his character and lash out at Jazz or bench Jazz, who was 608 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,320 driving me nuts. And I told you that one, there 609 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,920 is no way that they're going to give him a big contract. 610 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,040 I told you that on the fan a year ago. 611 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,000 Oh, why wouldn't you do that? He 3030 he runs, he's one of the 612 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,680 best second baseman in baseball. Are you insane? 613 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,760 They are not long term connecting themselves to that 614 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,360 guy. I can promise you that, right, 615 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,320 because I I was told that all right, So you want to you know, 616 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:24,800 you want to resist things, certain things. 617 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:25,920 I'm not asking you certain things. 618 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,160 I'm telling you because I know the answer. 619 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,640 Now you might not get the answer right away, but trust me when I 620 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,400 say it like that because guys understand this, right? 621 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,120 I'm not a news breaker. Like I'm not somebody who makes 622 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,960 a a livelihood of getting in for me. 623 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,240 Although maybe maybe I should try it, maybe do pretty well. 624 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,360 I don't know, you know, oh, this guy's going to get fired. 625 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,640 This team's moving up to make this trade for the draft, blah, 626 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,480 blah, blah, right? That's not my thing. 627 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,320 You know, my thing is and my thing has always been talking 628 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,440 passionately about sports, obviously having fun and I'll 629 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,320 beat half a nut ball when the time is right. 630 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,800 It's kind of happens naturally. But also having enough contacts 631 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,720 where if I tell you something like that, believe me, that's 632 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:14,000 why what I told you a couple of years ago, hey, Saint John's, 633 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:19,160 which was always beyond reticent to even thinking about a patino 634 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,880 type because of some indiscretions from Rick in 635 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,200 Catholic University. I told you Saint John's is Iron 636 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,840 Rick Pitino. I told you that. 637 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,640 I told you that and they did. And I'm telling you there is no 638 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,480 way they are connecting. And I told you this for a year, 639 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,760 not just now after a conveniently bad start. 640 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,520 I told you this before the winter started. 641 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:48,400 What does he want? Nine years, 350 dudes, It is a 642 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,800 long season. I know there are peaks and 643 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,480 valleys. And listen, the one thing, so 644 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,680 I'll get to that in a SEC, Jay. The one thing too is that, and I 645 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,840 want to be fair to the certainly to the baseball conversation, 646 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,880 it's not like, you know, the Giants are O14 or they're or the 647 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,080 the Ravens have an uncharacteristic tough start or 648 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,240 the Niners are scuffling in September. 649 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,120 You know, good teams. So I don't mention The Jets, not 650 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,040 that the Giants have been good lately, but with horrible they 651 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,760 will be. You know, it seems like that the 652 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:20,320 Bills, the respected teams, the Patriots, again, like it's not 653 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:26,080 you just not going to attack the 1st 1820 games of the baseball 654 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:31,160 season with the vigor and the vitriol and the enthusiasm that 655 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,080 you, that, that you will for baseball. 656 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,920 You're not going to you, you can't, I guess you can if you 657 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,840 want. I mean, there are some nut jobs 658 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,400 over the years that have been called stations that can. 659 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,240 I don't like I, I try to compartmentalize, you know, 162 660 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,960 games versus now 17 There. There's it's, it's a different 661 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,280 games, a different blueprint here. 662 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:55,640 But when you see things like either guys not being locked in 663 00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:00,360 or, you know, friction or precede friction, or that's a 664 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,640 deeper level that I am completely comfortable 665 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:08,400 commenting on, especially with somebody like Lindor back to 666 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,840 them percent forget about you, man. 667 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,720 Started with that. We get back to you now, 668 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,760 especially for a team that has had chemistry issues for a long 669 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:21,080 time to the point where guys got shipped out and for what reason, 670 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,760 I don't know. I don't know. 671 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,960 But you know, I mean, your your star player right now is the 672 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,680 complete antithesis of a leader. He is disengaged. 673 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,680 He's in a fog, he's in a funk, which you can excuse 674 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,320 offensively, but I am tired. I will never and I did it for a 675 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,760 couple years. I will never ever into a hot 676 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,640 microphone say, hey, really, You know what guys? 677 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,240 Really good job by Lindor, you know, taking ownership of a 678 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,120 rough night or a rough stretch. That's your job. 679 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,360 If you we know you want to be captain, the fact that you 680 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,920 haven't been named captain yet despite basically begging for it 681 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,120 or others clamoring for it for you tells us all we need to know 682 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,600 and by the way, Steve Cohen said as long as I own the team will 683 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,040 never have a captain, which I I think is dumb to make that 684 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,360 nothing he can't change his mind. 685 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,560 Obviously it's his team, but to have that kind of a blanket 686 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,080 statement, I mean, just doesn't look like it now. 687 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,520 But let's just say Carson Benj, I'll just use him drafted, you 688 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,640 know, develop. Let's say he goes on to have 689 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,560 like a a David Wright in print, even though he's a different 690 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,200 position, whatever, and he doesn't hurt his back and he 691 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,520 winds up, you know, having this incredibly lengthy productive. 692 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,840 You know, certainly the stats are there, but the hustle's 693 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,800 there, the grits there, the leadership's there. 694 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,480 You're not going to make that guy captain. 695 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,400 I mean, why not? I don't understand that, man. 696 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,000 So I thought that was odd by Cohen. 697 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,400 But for the guy who thinks he's the captain or wants to be 698 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,520 captain, he is actually playing like somebody who would rather 699 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,760 be on a cruise ship chilling or playing golf or going to a 700 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,920 political convention or whatever Lindor wants to do. 701 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,520 Because enough of the I got to be better. 702 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:02,640 I don't know. I got to wake up. 703 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,640 Play ball, dude, get your act together. 704 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:11,239 Wake up, wake up. That simple nothing's going to 705 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:16,760 change here at at Cape God 2558 thank you Cape nothing's going 706 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,520 to change here at the stadium's going to be full they'll keep 707 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,600 cashing checks why waste money when the people keep going well, 708 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,679 I are you is he talking about the Mets if we had to take a 709 00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:27,159 stab at. That my guess is Yankees because 710 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,679 my guess is the Yankees because he sent it during the Cashman 711 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:33,560 chat. Got it. 712 00:34:33,639 --> 00:34:35,080 Got.

So with you, I'm so with you. 750 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,360 I said, you know, it triggered when I was in Texas throwing out 751 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,920 the first pitch for the Rangers. We had that queued up. 752 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:21,920 But do you still have that somewhere? 753 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,320 Yeah, of course, man.

We got there pretty early 759 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,800 because logistically we had to get to the right spot behind 760 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,520 home plate and kind of in the bowels of of the stadium, which 761 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:42,080 is a great stadium, by the way. But I saw one woman walking with 762 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,600 a tray. No joke. 763 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,120 She needed both hands to hold it and it was like a tortilla chip 764 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,840 or like the size of.

We were in Millville, Millville, 814 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:39,120 MILLVILLA, Millville, PA. Right now, a lot of the PG 815 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,240 events are in Jersey or really Staten Island, some other spots. 816 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,400 This one was basically, I mean, certainly Eagles country. 817 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,480 It's it's deep. It's very deep in the state. 818 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,560 Took two and it basically took for me to and I'm in Jersey 2 819 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,920 1/2 hours to get there. It's Mike Trout's hometown, and 820 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,320 it's Mike Trout's Little League facility. 821 00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:58,680 Oh. That's sick. 822 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,120 Yeah. And I'm not trying to call Mike 823 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:01,720 Trout out, but Mike, can you cut a check? 824 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,800 I mean, can you can you, can you upgrade a little bit? 825 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,720 I mean, the people there were great. 826 00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:07,600 Like they worked hard. I'm not calling that. 827 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,200 They manicured very old school, like the wooden press box. 828 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,240 And most of these places are turfed out and absolutely dope 829 00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:16,440 and like they're monstrosities of facilities. 830 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,560 Like, you know, it's it's a money grab, whatever. 831 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,720 Even though the facilities are nice, this I found. 832 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,400 I feel like I was stepping into 1987, which for me I've got no. 833 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,320 Problem with because I love the 80s, but I mean, Mike, can you 834 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,360 can you cut a check? Come on, man. 835 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:33,400 Anyway, 2 1/2 hours away. Now the way these things go, you 836 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,160 get the game. So say if you're playing, you 837 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,560 play Saturday, Sunday, Saturday's pool play and then 838 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,760 single limb on Sunday, you get the the schedule on Monday. 839 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,800 So you don't it's like you get a schedule before the year. 840 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,680 You just you know which events you're in. 841 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:45,880 You don't know what time you're playing. 842 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,520 So I want to keep this quick. I just want to tell you why I'm 843 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,320 so shot. So Saturday they played at 2:00, 844 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:55,080 all right, and they played at 6:00 and I think there were ten 845 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,440 teams or eight teams, not 8. I, I think 8 in this one. 846 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,120 And then based on everything that happens on Saturday, which 847 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,880 is pool play, everybody plays two now they seed you for Sunday 848 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,120 and then it's one and done. You lose, you're out in your 849 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,960 home. So we now keep in mind, so his 850 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,560 first game was a two. We had to be there in the 851 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,160 batting cages for one. My wife and my daughter came as 852 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,520 well. She had a birthday party Sunday. 853 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:20,680 So Sunday was just he and I have. 854 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,040 So Saturday we got the whole car packed that backed up, which was 855 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,440 nice. Anyway, we leave like 10:30 a 856 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,240 long day. We get home and we went 857 00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:29,840 one-on-one where they went why didn't do anything. 858 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:34,120 They went one-on-one and then we get home at like 11:15 on on 859 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,360 Saturday night right as we're driving. 860 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,000 Game changer gets updated. All right. 861 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:39,960 We're playing at 10:00 the next morning. 862 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,320 Now my wife and daughter can't go the next day because of that 863 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,720 birthday party for my daughter. So very Long story short, now 864 00:41:45,720 --> 00:41:48,240 this game is at 10. They got to be at the cages at 865 00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:50,280 9. I get home at 11:50, take a 866 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,080 shower, eat, wind down, fall asleep, basically don't sleep 867 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:57,520 much at all. And then they win the first game 868 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,160 at 10. And then they go, They're not 869 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:04,520 playing at 12, they're not playing at 2, they're playing at 870 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:09,920 4:00. So we go, we go and I'm 2 1/2 871 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,960 hours away from home. We go to like LongHorn 872 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,120 Steakhouse, right? Like 7 or 8 kids on the team, 873 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,440 all the mom and dad. It was great, right? 874 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,000 Sat there for two hours. I'm like, come on, I'm getting, 875 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,880 you know, let's go. Then they played at 4:00 and 876 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,920 they won that game and then the championship game was supposed 877 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,000 to be at six, but it's always usually back dated, you know, 878 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,360 because time runs on first pitch 630 and then they lost the 879 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,000 championship. Whatever The other team's really 880 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,320 good play. Good, good team that we see a 881 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:34,960 lot. Proud of you. 882 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:36,880 Really good coaches, really good players. 883 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,720 But they have like a medal ceremony because it's a PG 884 00:42:38,720 --> 00:42:40,520 event. I, I got hold. 885 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,760 I, I, I literally was gone for 15 1/2 hours yesterday between 886 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,120 traveling and sitting in my chair. 887 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,960 You know the worst is when you when you're not playing, but you 888 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,280 can't go anywhere because you got to play a game in four hours 889 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,920 anyway. That is just brutal. 890 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,000 Man, yeah, That that was that was a rough run right there. 891 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,080 That was a rough run. But the boys had a good time. 892 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,400 They absolutely did. Let me get the a little bit more 893 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,080 from Kate. Why is the Ming is not up right 894 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:05,560 now is a defense. That's the answer. 895 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:07,680 Put him at the lead off spot. They'll be forced to give him 896 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,080 pitches to hit and then bring up Lombard from McMahon. 897 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,120 Can't be worse. Lombards not ready. 898 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,400 All right, I do like the first part of that. 899 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,600 I know he doesn't hit well as a right-handed hitter yet he's yet 900 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,240 to prove that. But Dominguez is absolutely 901 00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:20,960 raking at triple AI. Do not believe he should have 902 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,480 been in the minors to start the year. 903 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,760 Not because he didn't have to work on the outfield or left 904 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,720 field work. I get that defensively, but to 905 00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:31,240 me it's bad messaging. He he showed last year that he's 906 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:35,920 a Major League player now he didn't show bet he's a Major 907 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,680 League star because he's really just left-handed hitting 908 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,120 dominant and he's a butcher in the outfield. 20 base stole 20 909 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,760 bases, 10 home runs hit 260 above average, slightly above 910 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,120 average league OPS runs like the wind and figure it out, man. 911 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,320 It's not like he went up there and and I actually think Carson 912 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,360 bench is going to be good nice defensive play yesterday. 913 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,720 It's not like he hit 150. Whatever bench is hitting or you 914 00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:01,720 know, other rookies along the way that have just, you know, 915 00:44:01,720 --> 00:44:03,840 tripped all over themselves. I again, I do think bench is 916 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,240 going to be a good ball player. I like I'm not trying to take a 917 00:44:06,240 --> 00:44:08,400 knock at him. Yeah, I would like to. 918 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:13,480 I would much rather see a 2320 whatever he 23 year old Jason 919 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,680 Dominguez atop the order. Give him a runway. 920 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,160 This is the time to figure it out. 921 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,160 You don't want to have to figure it out in September. 922 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,200 Hey, can he hit as a righty? Can we can we put him in there 923 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:27,360 against the figure it out now? You lost five straight anyway 924 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,240 with Gertchuk or Gutshuk, whatever the fuck his name is. 925 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,000 OK, I'm like, what? You know, Caballero back up. 926 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,480 I mean, the Yankee fans are now clamoring for the return of 927 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,760 Opie, which tells you all you need to know because many of you 928 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,400 tapped out and quit on Anthony Bolpi. 929 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,480 Now, I have not done that. I'm very worried about Anthony 930 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,960 Bolpi, but he's not going to look worse than Caballero for 931 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,560 sure. McMahon stinks. 932 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,640 I mean, yeah, but Lombard is different. 933 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,920 I absolutely push back on that. He did not do much at AA last 934 00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,200 year. The numbers he he actually had a 935 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:03,920 below 600 OPS tore up high a struggle. 936 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,760 The two AI got to check what he did this weekend. 937 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,360 I've been so busy. I just paid attention to the 938 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:12,040 Yanks and the Mets. But I know in his first five or 939 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:16,920 six games with AA this year, 4 double s, two home runs, numbers 940 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,760 look really good. Not a lot of strikeouts so, but 941 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,880 you got to let him grow. He's so young, you know, maybe 942 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,400 if the Yankees had better components, you can kind of 943 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,680 blend them in like the Yankees did with Jeter back in 96. 944 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,240 One of the reasons why Tory, first of all, Tony Fernandez 945 00:45:33,240 --> 00:45:35,400 broke his arm and broke his arm in spring trading. 946 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:40,600 But one of the reasons that the you know, the the experiment 947 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,360 with Jeter on opening day when he hit a home run against the 948 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,240 then Indians. Remember that at at at the 949 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,160 Jacobs Field, Rizzuto on the call that over the shoulder 950 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:52,200 basket catch in in left center field from shortstop played 951 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:53,920 great from day one. But the reason why the Yankees 952 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,080 were cool with that is because they had so many veterans. 953 00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,200 You had Bogs, you had Charlie Hayes, you know, you know, you 954 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:00,960 hit brought in Tino eventually that year. 955 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,680 You got Cecil Fielder in the trade. 956 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,760 You know, you had Girardi was obviously the catcher on that 957 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,200 first championship. Bernie was there for O'Neill. 958 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,160 You had a lot of guys to kind of protect him a little bit. 959 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,120 You know, just got so if he starts one for 19, he's not 960 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:15,920 going to really feel remember he was bad at the bottom of the 961 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,880 order, you know, for the for that first year. 962 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,640 So they're not calling up Lombard. 963 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,600 They should not. I will talk about Lombard in 964 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,560 terms of gauging his progress and some of the, you know, some 965 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,080 of the numbers, not to geek out, but some of the things that 966 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,200 really matter. Like I, I want to know how hard 967 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:32,800 he's. Yeah, how I want to know how I'm 968 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,280 going to. I almost said I want to know how 969 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,880 how he's impacting the ball. Like that's manager speak. 970 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,080 What, are you kidding? I almost said. 971 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,680 I want to know how hard he's impacting the ball this year. 972 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,120 What? I mean, tap the brakes, buddy. 973 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,600 And we know you love your numbers, but that's a little 974 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:48,760 much. But I do want to see if he's 975 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,160 squaring the ball up. I want to see if he's making 976 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,400 consistently hard contacts. I know he could run. 977 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,040 I know he's got an arm and I know we can pick it all right. 978 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,640 But the other stuff, I need him to get some seasoning. 979 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,960 The Yankees, in essence, bypass AAA for Anthony Volpe. 980 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,600 That did not work out, at least not not yet. 981 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,480 It hasn't. So I'm not looking to do that at 982 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:08,880 Avery Summit. What's up, man? 983 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,600 Boone may have never underachieved with any team, but 984 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,480 the most recent season before Boone Girardi overachieved in 985 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,800 2017. Yeah, that's fair. 986 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,080 More than Boone ever has. That's fans, barometer and 987 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,600 frustration. Let's keep it real or hashtag be 988 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:23,520 real. That's a good point. 989 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,640 I feel you on that. Now understand though, think 990 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,440 about this. It's a different American 991 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,880 League. At that point when Girardi was 992 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:35,760 the manager, you know, Toronto was at like really at their 993 00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,840 apex. They were basically slightly 994 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,440 above 500 team, never a threat to the Yankees power, never 995 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,040 spent that kind of money. There was a big financial 996 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:45,240 disparity. They've got the second 997 00:47:45,240 --> 00:47:47,200 wealthiest donor in all of sports, by the way. 998 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,320 You know, I think Cohen's in the top three. 999 00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:53,520 The ownership group out with the Dodgers is obviously in the top 1000 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,880 three and the Rogers group is top three. 1001 00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,360 They might be two actually. I think they are. 1002 00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:01,760 And the Yankee like how's like 21 or so? 1003 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:05,600 That was very, I saw that last week, but that was different. 1004 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,840 The Orioles were no young players that were good at that 1005 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,560 point. They didn't spend any money. 1006 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,440 You know, I mean, the Rays were obviously always feisty and 1007 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:14,720 called the ball. How do you get swept by the 1008 00:48:14,720 --> 00:48:16,360 Rays, though? That's got to infuriate. 1009 00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,680 Like, here's the thing. That's the kind of thing, and I 1010 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,320 really try not to reach for this too much. 1011 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,240 What would George say? What would George do? 1012 00:48:23,240 --> 00:48:24,800 Because George, you know, rest in peace. 1013 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,320 But also an incredibly complicated legacy, which I 1014 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,640 think is overstated sometimes favorably to kind of prove a 1015 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,560 point just to kind of take a shot at his son. 1016 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,520 I mean, I'm old enough to have lived through the George years 1017 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,160 where I couldn't stand that guy. Like when he was banished, I was 1018 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:39,960 thrilled. I'm like, good, get out. 1019 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,520 You know, you suck. Basically, he was destroying the 1020 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,000 Yankee brand. He was just a petulant, 1021 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,440 unpredictable wacko. But again, what we we tend to do 1022 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:54,960 this so often, you know, whether it's musicians or actors or, you 1023 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:59,600 know, baby people who had some missteps along the way over time 1024 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,320 and admittedly varying degrees of of missteps. 1025 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,040 I'm not talking about a baseball misstep versus, you know, a 1026 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,960 criminal misstep, although he did get drunk with the criminal 1027 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,160 stuff, with the Howie Spears stuff too. 1028 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:15,600 Anyway, I think that George is we overly romanticize George. 1029 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,280 And you know, my George is a little different than, say, my 1030 00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,760 dad's generation and the generation after him, because 1031 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,280 that generation was sitting on their couch and in bars in the 1032 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,680 70s watching Reggie and watching Catfish Hunter. 1033 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,640 Massive, first big free agent, then Reggie comes in. 1034 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,400 Obviously, you know, Munson, Nettles, all these big studs. 1035 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,600 Goose, I didn't watch those guys, watch those guys play in 1036 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,120 the 80s. I didn't see them with anything. 1037 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:44,680 So, you know, I grew up with the big looming spectacle shadow of 1038 00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,280 George, right? And obviously knowing all the 1039 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:51,720 names and you know, like very hazily, if you will, hearing 1040 00:49:51,720 --> 00:49:54,800 games are like Phil Rizzuto and, and knowing, just knowing that 1041 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,200 the Yankees were obviously a big thing, but not consuming them on 1042 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,720 a night to night basis. By the time I started to consume 1043 00:50:00,720 --> 00:50:04,320 them, I've told you this, the first year was really 81 where 1044 00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,200 they lost to the Dodgers in the World Series. 1045 00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,000 And I remember I was in the 1st grade and I was staying up late 1046 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,480 to watch the games. I just started playing baseball. 1047 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:12,720 My we didn't have T-ball back then. 1048 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,680 So it was my first year of actually playing baseball and I 1049 00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,280 was all in. And I'm, I'm thinking in my 1050 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,080 mind, I'm sure I'm saying, all right, Yanks are great. 1051 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:21,040 We're going to be here all the time. 1052 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,080 That 81 World Series, the next time I sold them in the World 1053 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:28,240 Series was 1996. I mean, that is, think about 1054 00:50:28,240 --> 00:50:29,960 that. That's formative years. 1055 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,000 And then well beyond formative years as a as a sports fan, but 1056 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,400 as a young man, you know, second grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, 1057 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,920 5th, 6th, 7-8, ninth zip high school, they were an atrocity. 1058 00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,640 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade, senior year, nothing. 1059 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,880 I mean, finally started the corner, turned the corner a 1060 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,280 little bit like when they got Gallego and they got at least 1061 00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:54,000 some competent players, Jimmy Key talking like 93 ish, you 1062 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,920 know, Spike Owen, like that crew, Mike Stanley. 1063 00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,800 And then obviously 94. They were great. 1064 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,840 Season got cancelled, excuse me. And then 95 what happened with 1065 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:05,120 Seattle blah blah blah win the World Series. 1066 00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:09,000 So yeah, I mean, I I just anyway, but if they would have 1067 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:13,560 gotten if George was here is the point if they got swept by the 1068 00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:18,080 race in Tampa where the Yankees run their operation out of 1069 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,240 honestly, I think somebody would have been cut or fired over the 1070 00:51:21,240 --> 00:51:23,280 weekend. I honestly believe that like 1071 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,160 last night something would there be a missive come that Mike 1072 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,040 would be reading on the air, you know, at some point today with 1073 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,480 dog doggy. I'm not an impersonation guy. 1074 00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,280 You know that we've got to miss it. 1075 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,640 You know, you get a little paper rattle and stuff like that. 1076 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,120 Those days are over. You know, Yanks get swept by the 1077 00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,600 Rays, Not a peep. Rob Russell, 3023 What's up, 1078 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,560 Rob? With all the injuries the Jays 1079 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,320 are going through, the Yankees got to get smoking to take 1080 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,080 advantage of the Jays situation. Well, that's why it's it's 1081 00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:51,160 frustrating because they were setting themselves up to to get 1082 00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:54,240 some separation here and stack some wins and build a little, 1083 00:51:54,800 --> 00:52:00,040 you know, a little portfolio that would, or a little excess 1084 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,040 in the account, if you will, for rainy day. 1085 00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,680 Because, you know, one thing we know about the Yankees is that 1086 00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,360 every year they're going through a a swoon. 1087 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,520 I mean, where they play basically, basically the Yankee 1088 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,560 script is start well, establish yourself as one of the better 1089 00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:17,960 teams in baseball and then basically play 7590 games or so 1090 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,240 where you look like you're A5, where you're basically a 500 1091 00:52:21,240 --> 00:52:22,840 team. And then you're got to 1092 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:24,400 regenerate toward the end of the year. 1093 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,920 You pick up some energy, win a playoff round or two, and then 1094 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,160 eventually lose short of winning the World Series. 1095 00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,840 Like that's the Yankee script and the Mets script is very 1096 00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:34,240 different. I I don't I don't, I don't know 1097 00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:36,480 what to expect from the Mets script because the one thing 1098 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:41,240 that we don't know, I know at least that Hal is patient. 1099 00:52:41,240 --> 00:52:44,280 Now he's patient to a point that drives me nuts with certain 1100 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,360 things, but he's a patient man, right? 1101 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:50,680 I don't know the level of patience for Steve Cohen with 1102 00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:54,240 that exorbitant price tag and now with some of the nonsense 1103 00:52:54,240 --> 00:52:57,360 going on with that team. That's why when I told you I 1104 00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,440 guess about a week and 1/2 or so ago mend, you better get this 1105 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,400 thing buttoned up. First year was great. 1106 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,080 Second year was not third year is what I'm measuring you by. 1107 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:09,880 And I do believe not only listen, forget about will 1108 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,440 because that if I say, if I use the word will, I'm trying to get 1109 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,400 in the heads of the Mets brass and I just don't have that 1110 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:15,720 information. So I'm not going to make 1111 00:53:15,720 --> 00:53:18,480 something up. But what I'm saying is is me 1112 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,040 attribute this to me. Like if the Mets don't wake up 1113 00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,280 out of this doldrum and I'm going to give him some more time 1114 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,440 to do this. But if the Mets don't figure out 1115 00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,880 a way to play Chris baseball and obviously you would wait until 1116 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:32,240 Soto comes back clearly. But if it looks like this in 1117 00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:35,600 another month, I am me. If it's my team, I'm firing 1118 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,080 Mendoza and I don't throw that out there very much. 1119 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,720 You guys know about that, You know that I'm not just one of 1120 00:53:40,720 --> 00:53:44,720 these, you know, reflects of fire, fire, fire this guy, fire 1121 00:53:44,720 --> 00:53:47,000 that guy. No, no, no, no, no, no. 1122 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:53,240 But the Mets were. The Mets were very sloppy last 1123 00:53:53,240 --> 00:53:56,240 year. They looked very sloppy this 1124 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,160 year. You know, don't forget we talked 1125 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,280 about Lindor, right? Don't forget, you know, whatever 1126 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:05,080 day it was a couple games ago, Vientos dropping a pop up that 1127 00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,200 first base. It was fairly benign. 1128 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:08,480 He caught the next one. Nothing happened. 1129 00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:12,200 But you drop a pop up, dude. And then you saw Vientos Spika 1130 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:15,120 throwing the dirt on a play at the plate earlier in that in the 1131 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,720 pirate series when Lindor got like thrown out the plate there 1132 00:54:17,720 --> 00:54:20,560 on that double by Soto in that series. 1133 00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:21,560 I'm pretty sure it was that series. 1134 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:25,000 It was a ball where, you know, Alvarez, he boxed it up as a 1135 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,000 catcher man on 3rd. You know, check them. 1136 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,240 All right, he's staying as he's loafing around, picking up the 1137 00:54:30,240 --> 00:54:32,120 ball dude on first base and breaking for second. 1138 00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,800 Like, that's not being locked in, you know? 1139 00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:39,800 So we are seeing a continuation of a sloppy stream of baseball 1140 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:44,880 by the Mets. And if that keeps up and it's my 1141 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:48,080 team, I'm not messing around and I'm moving on from Envy. 1142 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,800 Mira Comedy was available. Want to be a Yankee? 1143 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,560 Cash been passed on a Kwanzaa left field. 1144 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:56,760 They were traditional lead off hitter. 1145 00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,160 We need cash been passed. Yep. 1146 00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,560 With those two alone, they make Trent Jazz and Wells palatable. 1147 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,080 Yeah. I mean, listen, Trent Grisham, 1148 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:10,040 you know, I, I just, I, I can't, I could always fake it. 1149 00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:13,600 I just but I'm not that guy. Like I'm just not going to 1150 00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:17,360 conjure up emotion and start railing on Trent Grisham. 1151 00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,920 I'm not you know where I stand. I did not think he would sign 1152 00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,560 the QOI was surprised and not pleasantly. 1153 00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,720 And then I'll let you know how I felt about that once I found out 1154 00:55:26,720 --> 00:55:29,200 that he did sign the QO for 22 mil. 1155 00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,080 And I was not happy. And I have told you forever. 1156 00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,080 And I told, like said, it's a boon. 1157 00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,360 It's not a lead off hitter. He's not, at least not a lead 1158 00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:39,960 off hitter for a team that's supposed to win the world here 1159 00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,680 or trying to not supposed to trying to win the world here. 1160 00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,200 You want to hit lead off for the White Sox, Be my guest, dude. 1161 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,040 You want to hit, you want to hit lead off for the Twins? 1162 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,160 Go for it. I mean, nobody. 1163 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,560 You want to hear lead off for the Rockies, we're second for 1164 00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,280 the go for it. Nobody cares what you do, you 1165 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,120 know, you can't hit lead off for the Yankees and be taken 1166 00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,680 incredibly seriously as a team that's got a really well thought 1167 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:05,360 out, well properly constructed lineup that complements each 1168 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,160 other with a good speed, power, contact ratio. 1169 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:09,920 McMahon strikes out all the time. 1170 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,040 Wells is hitting $1.70. Grisham, all right, Last year 1171 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:14,960 was good. Before the last five years he's 1172 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,280 hitting below 200. I know it's early now, but I'm 1173 00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,760 including it and I wouldn't if the three years before last year 1174 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,200 weren't so pathetic. You know what I mean? 1175 00:56:23,720 --> 00:56:26,200 Look at his numbers. Like last year was the was the 1176 00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,400 anomaly. Last year was the I'm starting 1177 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:29,920 to get worked up over aggression, not doing it. 1178 00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:31,400 It's not letting, not letting him do it. 1179 00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:35,080 All right, Jay, Rod, you know what time it is, right, buddy? 1180 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,440 Yes Sir. Wait, read this comment real 1181 00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,120 quick. It might be my favorite comment 1182 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:42,600 we've ever gotten. OK we got Blaine Hughes 393 1183 00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:43,760 Blaine what's happening there buddy? 1184 00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,880 BT up a 23 year old dairy farmer. 1185 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:50,240 It's officially my favorite time of year baseball season and the 1186 00:56:50,240 --> 00:56:53,800 spring tillage work. Listening to you talk baseball 1187 00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:57,560 while on the tractor right now is the best I just. 1188 00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,760 I just love it. You know, it's funny because I 1189 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,160 would get that stuff like a lot of people would, would call the 1190 00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,640 fan and, and they listen on the, the, the Odyssey app, which is a 1191 00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,880 good app, by the way. And we had a lot of people 1192 00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,760 calling in from Florida, couple people from Australia who by the 1193 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:15,520 way, followed me to YouTube, some people from Australia, a 1194 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,960 bunch of people in the military stationed all over the world 1195 00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,840 because, you know, you just open your phone, bang, get the app. 1196 00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,160 And I guess in my mind, I, I don't, I, I don't make that 1197 00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:26,240 connection yet, even though I, I understand, obviously I 1198 00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:30,960 understand the reach of YouTube, which is limitless, but to hear 1199 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,760 a young man, 23 year old, not a tractor cranking out a little 1200 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:37,560 yard work there, That's awesome.

Me too, man. 1222 00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:29,520 Like my, I even look back at a few of my first jobs. 1223 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:33,640 My first couple of jobs were at a day camp across the street. 1224 00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,360 See, I always knew I wanted to coach it or like even then was 1225 00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,600 at a day camp, young people's day camp. 1226 00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:43,240 If you're tri-state resident, just remember that big yellow :) 1227 00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,600 a girl that I was really good friends with, her dad owned it 1228 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,600 and he passed away, but somewhat recently too. 1229 00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,920 Good man, good family. And I was there probably three 1230 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,720 years, maybe, yeah, probably 3 as a counselor. 1231 00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,720 And it was great. Like we would go, yeah, we, we 1232 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,520 basically that, that'd have the kids throw me batting practice 1233 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,040 all day. We do home run therapy. 1234 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,320 I'd throw it to them. We do Dunkin contest. 1235 00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,320 Like it wasn't just sports, but I basically turned everything 1236 00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,400 into sports. So that was always outside, 1237 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:15,040 always in the sun. And then in college, I did, I 1238 00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,280 did some construction. I told you that some demo work 1239 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,800 Uptown. What else? 1240 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,080 Yeah. I mean, obviously I had some 1241 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,720 other jobs like Fidelity and some financial stuff, but you 1242 00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,000 give me outdoors and I can make make a living. 1243 00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:27,680 I got no problem with. That I'm with. 1244 00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,320 You all right? Did he tell you where he's from? 1245 00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,320 What state? We have not gotten. 1246 00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,480 We did not get the state. Now you know what? 1247 00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:36,280 He's busy. He's he's tractoring away. 1248 00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:38,080 You got to keep an eye on the corn. 1249 00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:38,920 I got it.

Over under 2 1/2 NFL first round 1270 01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,680 trades. I am going over and I am going 1271 01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:46,440 over by a mile. First of all, I fully, well, 1272 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:50,680 maybe fully is a bit strong. I strongly think that The Jets 1273 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,160 are going to make it. So let me just start with my 1274 01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:53,600 team. I think The Jets going to make a 1275 01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:55,600 trade. I think the other reason why 1276 01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:58,600 there's going to be a lot of traction here is I know he's 1277 01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:02,520 highly coveted, but obviously can you draft the running back, 1278 01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:06,160 you know, 3456 for everybody? Like I think that somebody is 1279 01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,760 going to make a trade to get Jeremiah Love from Notre Dame. 1280 01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,440 I think the name Sonny Styles has trade written all over it. 1281 01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,000 Move it up to get him. I think Caleb Downs could be a 1282 01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,680 target as well. So outside of The Jets and 1283 01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:21,320 Darren Moogie has shown a strong propensity to freight anyway, so 1284 01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,480 that's easy. Like I know that he's open to 1285 01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:25,520 it. And I believe that The Jets are 1286 01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:27,960 a little unsure whether it's Bailey, whether it's Reese, 1287 01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:29,440 whether it's something else that they might do. 1288 01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,760 So I think The Jets are are a big possibility. 1289 01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,880 I think Dallas guys, Dallas has two first round picks. 1290 01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,480 They're going #12 and they're going #20 and it seems like 1291 01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:41,200 Dallas is motivated to make a trade. 1292 01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:45,320 I think that the Commanders are actively trying to trade out of 1293 01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:48,640 the seven spot. And I think even if you look 1294 01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:52,520 behind The Jets at #2 I think the Cardinals at #3 watch, 1295 01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,680 watch, maybe I'm going to give you the Cardinals and Rams as 1296 01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:58,800 possible trading partners. And if they don't, you know, do 1297 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,160 a deal with each other. I absolutely think there's a 1298 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,720 good chance, even if the Cardinals stay at three, that 1299 01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,960 the Rams, who are 13, by the way, the Rams could trade with 1300 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:07,840 The Jets. I think that there's a real 1301 01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:09,400 chance that the Rams make a trade. 1302 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,760 So think about this. You got The Jets strong 1303 01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,440 possibility, Dallas, the Commanders, the Cardinals, the 1304 01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:17,800 Rams, and then you know names like Love and Styles and Caleb 1305 01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:22,000 Downs and the other name too. And because there's such a wide 1306 01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:25,880 scope of how he's viewed here. I mean, somebody's making a move 1307 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:29,040 move for Ty Simpson. Whether you know, I don't know 1308 01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:30,480 if The Jets going to draft him at 16. 1309 01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:33,080 I don't think that they will actually like 10 days before the 1310 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:34,520 draft. I that's my opinion. 1311 01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:36,760 Now I don't think that they will and I'm good with that. 1312 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,720 But you want to tell me The Jets scoot out of 16 and go to 20 1313 01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:43,640 something possible or somebody early in around 2 moves up into 1314 01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:45,960 the back around 1 for Simpson possible. 1315 01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:50,440 Like I just think that it's going to fly by in terms of 2 1316 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,800 1/2 over. So I am absolutely juiced for 1317 01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:55,720 the draft #1 it's going to be a fun draft. 1318 01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,200 You got 5 receivers, you know, you got a couple of defensive 1319 01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:03,240 profiles that are very similar, some projections that you're not 1320 01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:04,880 sure about it. I think it's going to be 1321 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:08,440 tremendous. All right #2 do you agree with 1322 01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,040 the Knicks inning players yesterday or should they have 1323 01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:13,520 gone for the more favorable first round matchup? 1324 01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,880 All right, we hear this a lot, not just with the New York 1325 01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:19,640 Knicks either. Now, man, they finish up at 53 1326 01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:21,200 and 29. If they would have played 1327 01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:22,880 everybody, they probably would want, if they would have played 1328 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,840 anybody, really not everybody, anybody, they probably would 1329 01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:27,160 have won. Even though the Hornets were 1330 01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:31,040 tricky team, I would say, you know, I don't listen, even 1331 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:33,800 though maybe it would have meant something to Mike Brown or 1332 01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,200 organizationally, like if the Knicks would have won yesterday, 1333 01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,120 that would have been their highest win total since Woodson 1334 01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:42,520 won 54 games. Carmelo Amari, Tyson Chandler, 1335 01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,840 that crew, Jay kid, all those guys right? 1336 01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:49,560 Listen, I I do agree, though, at the end of the day, I agree with 1337 01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,000 resting players rather than going for the more favorable 1338 01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,800 first round matchup. Now yes, would I rather play the 1339 01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,080 Raptors? Sure, because they just they won 1340 01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:58,600 thirteen straight against the Raptors. 1341 01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,080 Now, they've won two of the three games against the Hawks 1342 01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,760 this year, but it's a different style and the Hawks have won 11 1343 01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:06,720 of 13 since they made that big trade. 1344 01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:10,040 You know, I think it's going to be a little bit of a tough first 1345 01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:11,600 round match up. I think the Knicks will win. 1346 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:13,920 But I'm more concerned with being healthy. 1347 01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,640 All right, being healthy and I do. 1348 01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:19,080 And I've been, you know, a little little down on these 1349 01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,160 Knicks this year. You know, that I love. 1350 01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:24,560 I don't know what the hell took so long, but I love the fact, 1351 01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:29,480 love the fact that Brunson and Cat are starting to figure out 1352 01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,720 some pick and roll that actually gives me some hope that the 1353 01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:34,080 Knicks could really do something. 1354 01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:35,920 It's not a it's not a prediction. 1355 01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:39,000 It's just me for the first time, like, oh, OK. 1356 01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,400 I see them evolving. I see them working. 1357 01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:44,960 I see them becoming more dangerous, more compatible, you 1358 01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,120 know, another couple of days because the Knicks don't open up 1359 01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,000 until Saturday. Obviously, like everybody, OG 1360 01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,840 can rest up the ankle. You know, Deuce got to produce 1361 01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:55,280 McBride got to play 30 minutes yesterday, so we can shed the 1362 01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:59,320 rust a little bit more. I I see both sides, but at the 1363 01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:03,200 end of the day, do you do what you do all right, and rather 1364 01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,680 than trying to and this applies to everybody, not just the 1365 01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:07,480 Knicks, because you see it all the time. 1366 01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,280 Oh, if I sit these guys and I lose, I I play this team. 1367 01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:13,240 If you believe in what you do and you are healthy, then you 1368 01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,880 should not need to do that. All right, that's number two, 1369 01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:21,920 number three, Oh man masters. I was following on my phone. 1370 01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,440 Obviously, I was at the ballpark for basically 13 hours. 1371 01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:29,400 It's basically the first Master Sunday that I did not get to 1372 01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,680 watch a shot live. Isn't that nuts? 1373 01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:33,840 And again, much rather be with my children. 1374 01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,920 But it's the Masters on Sunday, something I love here, man. 1375 01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:41,400 But I got home late and I watched the highlights and I was 1376 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:44,040 recording some stuff and I obviously knew shot for shot 1377 01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:47,480 with Chef Lauren Rory, I mean, a leaderboard was very crowded. 1378 01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:52,920 Can Rory ever crack the all time top five golfers of all time? 1379 01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:57,640 Now now you got to look at this now this is obviously subjective 1380 01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:00,200 once you get past a couple of points here Well, I mean really 1381 01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:03,880 you can even say tigers number one for me, Jack is obviously 1 1382 01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:06,040 Tiger is 2. You've got us. 1383 01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:07,760 I'm just going to throw some names out there. 1384 01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:10,720 All right, you got to look at somebody like Bobby Jones, the 1385 01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:14,480 greatest amateur of all time and you know, he just he's got like 1386 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:19,080 multiple degrees once the Georgia Tech and bypassed money 1387 01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:21,560 on the tour to maintain his amateur status. 1388 01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,640 Anyway, Bobby Jones, maybe he's pure bull striker of all time. 1389 01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:29,800 Sam Sneed you talk about Ben Hogan, the great Walter Hagen 1390 01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:33,840 and then he don't forget Arnie Byron Nelson, Gary Player. 1391 01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:39,640 I mean, Gary players great. Phil, Nick, Faldo, Watson. 1392 01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:41,440 All right. So when you look at just the 1393 01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:45,120 sheer totality of majors, you've got Jack with 18, you got Tiger 1394 01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:48,200 with 15, and you've got Kagan with 11. 1395 01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:52,800 Now understand that Rory has 6 now, and he's in the 1396 01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:57,520 neighborhood of Phil and Faldo and Leach, Ravinia, who I, I did 1397 01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:00,120 not mention before. All those guys have 6. 1398 01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,840 Rory's still pretty young and Rory's still pretty healthy. 1399 01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:08,280 To answer the question directly, do I think Rory can ever crack 1400 01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:11,080 the top five? No way, no chance. 1401 01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:14,640 Do I think he could ever crack the back end of the top ten? 1402 01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:16,960 That might be the better question. 1403 01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:20,960 And my answer for that would be yes, because with with the six 1404 01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:26,160 already, he could conceivably he could pass certainly Phil 1405 01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:28,360 Mickelson, who I love. Phil's my all time favorite, 1406 01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:30,440 even though he's a little weird with certain stuff, but I love 1407 01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,000 Phil. He could pass Faldo, he could 1408 01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,880 probably pass Watson. You just never going to pass 1409 01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:38,480 Jack and Tiger. I mean, listen, like when you 1410 01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:43,320 say Sam Sneed, that's akin to saying like Babe Ruth or Willie 1411 01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:47,000 Mays. When you say Ben Hogan or Walter 1412 01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:53,320 Hagen, that's like saying basically Kareem or Magic or MJ 1413 01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:58,880 or Bird or Oscar Robertson. I mean, it is incredibly, if not 1414 01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:03,080 impossible, incredibly difficult to crack the top five. 1415 01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:06,600 So no, I will not I will not float on the middle of the fence 1416 01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:10,240 worry even with multiple more majors and he might get them 1417 01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:14,280 will never crack the top five. I think his most realistic 1418 01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:17,040 target back end top ten. There you go. 1419 01:08:17,319 --> 01:08:21,160 Great job with those awesome job J Rod and of course, 3 Bernie 1420 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:22,920 questions brought to you by Sullivan Papayne. 1421 01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,439 Find sullivanonline@triallaw1.com. 1422 01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:29,760 That's trial law1.com. Remember the name Sullivan 1423 01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:31,479 Papayne. You see, I, I'll tell you I, I 1424 01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:34,880 hope the YouTube unleashed family here, the BT unleashed, 1425 01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,640 the YouTube unleashed saw a little bit of diversity in BT's 1426 01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:40,880 game. The golf, the golf convo, the 1427 01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:44,720 golf background is there. You know, I love talking. 1428 01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,680 I, I can't hit his pulp for shit, but man do I love talking 1429 01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:50,120 golf. I have read a lot. 1430 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,240 I probably read too much really. That's like it's like paralysis 1431 01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:56,800 by analysis my mind in terms of trying to figure things out, 1432 01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,240 which at this point I just assume I never will as a player. 1433 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:03,680 But I love the history of golf and I I got into that so late. 1434 01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:06,279 So let me see a point of reference. 1435 01:09:06,279 --> 01:09:08,240 And Jay, you won't get this because you're just too young, 1436 01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:14,439 but most of you will. When Jack won his the when? 1437 01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:20,240 When Jack won the Masters in 86 at the age of 46, Right. 1438 01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:24,080 Which was old back then, like when you were 46 back in the 1439 01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:26,240 80s. You just look different. 1440 01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,000 I don't know. Yeah, I'm. 1441 01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,880 Sure, like you look at the movies from back then like a 46 1442 01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:34,200 year old dude would look like he's like 66 today. 1443 01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,560 Yeah, Yeah, Exactly, Exactly. Exactly. 1444 01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:40,840 So it was it was really a stunning achievement. 1445 01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:44,560 Now, you know, you got guys. I mean, if Tiger's back, I 1446 01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,479 promise you, if Tiger's body held up, Tiger wouldn't be 1447 01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:49,200 dominating the way that, you know, he did. 1448 01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:50,359 Because, you know, guys are catching up. 1449 01:09:50,359 --> 01:09:53,359 Schaeffler, the world's changed, but I guarantee you'd have a 1450 01:09:53,359 --> 01:09:55,080 couple more wins in his back pocket. 1451 01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:59,720 But the point is, is that in 86 when he won that Augusta and I 1452 01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:03,000 can still see him dropping that putt in his rate raises putter 1453 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:06,960 as it goes up. I was not like I was 12. 1454 01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:10,920 I was not watching golf at all. Like golf to me was for nerds 1455 01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:15,560 was for just like hard to explain. 1456 01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,840 Golf to me was just something that was not in my world. 1457 01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,680 Like I don't know, man, I looked at these guys on TV and you got 1458 01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:25,000 to remember Jay, even Jack wasn't now already had big 1459 01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,160 forearms and Gary players a piece of steel. 1460 01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:28,760 He still works out. God bless him, man. 1461 01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,320 Sit ups and push ups and it looks amazing. 1462 01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:33,240 The black knight there South Africa. 1463 01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,840 But the the guys back then like they all had these little 1464 01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:40,480 bellies and they all wore like except Norman like khakis and 1465 01:10:40,480 --> 01:10:43,040 like boring shirts and like those saddle shoes. 1466 01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:47,360 The white with the little brown swashbuckle like this is I get 1467 01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:49,160 no interest in watching. Why am I watching this? 1468 01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:51,240 This is boring. These guys look like they're 1469 01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:52,720 nerds. They're old, they're fat, 1470 01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,040 they're slow. I'm not watching golf and 1471 01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:58,800 they're really Tiger. Well, a little bit before that 1472 01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,880 Greg Norman actually began to change and revolutionize the 1473 01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:05,520 apparel aspect of it with I remember getting right around 1474 01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:08,080 maybe a year or two after that, right Like when I was first, 1475 01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:10,960 yeah, happy year or two when I was first allowed to go to the 1476 01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,720 mall with my friends without my mom, you know, take the bus, 1477 01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:15,800 whatever. I remember I would always go to 1478 01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:19,160 a sports store and get my dad like a golf shirt for Father's 1479 01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:22,320 Day or for even for Christmas. And that the only real apparel 1480 01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:25,240 was Greg Norman. He had his signature shirt with 1481 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,800 the little like not rainbow, but like the multi colored shark. 1482 01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:33,600 And other than that, I mean it was just boring Izod khakis and 1483 01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:35,760 again, guys with bellies in these or whatever. 1484 01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:39,120 And then he he changed that a little bit and then and Tiger 1485 01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:42,800 changed everything, you know, just his body and how we walk 1486 01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:44,880 the court. And I remember Jordan calling 1487 01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:46,640 him. I remember Michael Jordan saying 1488 01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,840 a long time ago, Tiger Woods like look like a safety playing 1489 01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:53,840 a golf, you know, and all these guys are pretty old. 1490 01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,040 Look at the Shambo who, you know, shit, the bed couldn't get 1491 01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:57,720 out of the bunker on Friday, didn't make the cut. 1492 01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,480 Yikes. Three shots get out of the green 1493 01:12:00,480 --> 01:12:02,400 on, on, on on the last hole on Friday. 1494 01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:04,960 But these guys are just it's different anyway. 1495 01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,760 It's very different. And somebody like Rory now who's 1496 01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:11,920 not a kid, but he very well might have a few more wins in 1497 01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:13,240 his back pocket. I think he's going to win 1498 01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:15,800 something again at some point. And he's only I should have been 1499 01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:17,240 served this before. This is a good historical 1500 01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:19,640 football. He's the only only the 4th 1501 01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:24,760 golfer to ever win the Masters back-to-back. 1502 01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,520 I know, I know, Tigers definitely won. 1503 01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:28,960 I wrote it down. I want to see if I can remember 1504 01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:30,920 it though. Tigers won worries 2. 1505 01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:34,320 I think Faldo and may have been Jack. 1506 01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:38,760 Let me just double check that it was, I guess. 1507 01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:41,080 I didn't write down the name. I didn't write down the name, 1508 01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:45,480 but it is 4 and he's the 4th. All right, Yeah, I love talking 1509 01:12:45,480 --> 01:12:46,440 golf there. I really do. 1510 01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:52,360 I was 25 and 86 and that was the best Masters Sunday of my life. 1511 01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:53,640 There you go. No mine. 1512 01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:55,880 I got you. I can I can imagine why the I 1513 01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:59,200 remember. When did Tiger win that last 1514 01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:01,320 masters? I mean God, it's like 5 years 1515 01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:02,720 ago at this point. I think it was kind of right 1516 01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:07,600 around COVID slightly after. Not not the Masters, which is 1517 01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:10,320 always in April, obviously. And then right after the Final 1518 01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:13,960 Four, like it always goes, the Final Four is on on Monday night 1519 01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,200 that you have 20/19/19. There you go. 1520 01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:17,200 I knew it was in that neighborhood. 1521 01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,080 Thank you. Because the Masters is always 1522 01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,800 the week after that Monday night NCAA men's championship game. 1523 01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:25,240 So I remember all those years me Antique were going to the Final 1524 01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:28,280 Four when we were doing that national show for CBS Sports 1525 01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:30,920 Network and Nance when he was still calling the games for 1526 01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:34,920 basketball would be in Indianapolis or Houston or San 1527 01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:38,040 Antonio, wherever we were right. And and he would call the 1528 01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:40,320 championship game on Monday and then he would go right to 1529 01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:44,320 Augusta from site, I'm sure on the CBS private jet, obviously. 1530 01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:49,160 But so that was I was just trying to remember when the 1531 01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:54,000 because what they did for COVID was the Masters is always in 1532 01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:59,360 April, but that one year they pushed it into I think November 1533 01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:03,280 to recalibrate based on COVID. And I knew that that wasn't the 1534 01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:05,240 year the Tiger wanted, which is my point. 1535 01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:09,480 But for me, my favorite masters was when Phil won because I was 1536 01:14:09,480 --> 01:14:13,560 such a big Phil fan and and that, but when Tiger won at that 1537 01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:17,640 age, his dad no longer with us, all the issues, the surgeries. 1538 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:19,800 I remember sitting there, my daughter was just a little bit 1539 01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:21,760 too young. So this was 19. 1540 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:27,400 So my son was about 3 1/2 and I, I was trying to impress upon 1541 01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:28,960 him. I said I, I took a picture of 1542 01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:30,560 him because it was a chilly day here. 1543 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,840 I remember we had the fireplace on and, and the, the TV mounted 1544 01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:36,400 to the, to the stone. And I just took a picture of him 1545 01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,840 unknowingly looking up at Tiger Woods. 1546 01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:42,480 So I can have that like you're, you're watching Tiger Woods. 1547 01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:44,760 Like it's like I, it's so different. 1548 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:46,440 But they just didn't have it. Otherwise I'm sure they would 1549 01:14:46,440 --> 01:14:48,640 have done it. Like, imagine if my mom or dad 1550 01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:54,200 had a picture of me at age 3 1/2 or 4, you know, looking up out 1551 01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:59,240 of out of video of, jeez, I don't know already, Palmer. 1552 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:01,080 I mean, yo, Mike, it's the same thing. 1553 01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:04,280 What else we got here? J Rod obviously crushed the 1554 01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:09,200 Yankees, crushed the Mets here, Rory here. 1555 01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,840 What else we got? Oh well. 1556 01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:15,840 OK, here's a quick one.

I'm coming at you for Tuberware. 1566 01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:40,240 Well, why would you mean tuberware by by the way? 1567 01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,000 Absolutely.

This thing was hilarious. 1572 01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:55,440 It was about you. So the last episode you it was 1573 01:15:55,440 --> 01:15:58,560 something about the tuberware.

I told the story with my dad and 1576 01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:08,120 my sister, and my mom was either hosting or was at a Tupperware 1577 01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:10,440 party. Isn't it Tupperware? 1578 01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:14,280 Like with peace, I know it's spelled differently. 1579 01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,920 But I think it's pronounced Tupperware. 1580 01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:19,640 I don't think so. Well, that was what the comment 1581 01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:21,800 got on you for. Well, you got to make sure the 1582 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:23,880 comments right.

I don't know where it was on 1586 01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:36,280 either Instagram or maybe. PUPPERWARE. 1587 01:16:36,440 --> 01:16:38,920 That's the company. That's the company name. 1588 01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:41,040 TUPTU. P. 1589 01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:43,760 All right, I that was that was wrong, man. 1590 01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:45,720 Hey, I didn't say I was hosting the party. 1591 01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:48,560 I was at the Yankee game stuff in my face with Lord knows what 1592 01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:50,880 at age 878. I don't know how old I was. 1593 01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,480 I and then I saw somebody. I may have been on TikTok. 1594 01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:58,080 Some dude was calling it Tuboware, like TNC. 1595 01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:00,200 You saw that with Chris. What's his? 1596 01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:03,400 Name Chris, Not Chris D'elia. Chris. 1597 01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:07,320 He's Italian comic. He's hilarious New Yorker. 1598 01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:10,280 So I'm like this everybody's thought about tuberware, but he 1599 01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:17,840 was saying it like T UB-O hyphen, you know, WEA www.here 1600 01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:22,080 or WEAR tubberware and I was saying tuberware. 1601 01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:25,560 I thought it was one word TUBBERWARE. 1602 01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:29,040 You're telling me it's TUPP? TERP, there we go. 1603 01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:32,440 I didn't know that. You said we're even. 1604 01:17:32,480 --> 01:17:35,240 We're even. Yeah, we wanted one. 1605 01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:37,920 All right, man. Omar, what up, Omar? 1606 01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,160 Knicks winning yesterday had no bearing on their on their first 1607 01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,840 round match up. They were locked into three and 1608 01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:44,920 Charlotte was locked into the 9:10. 1609 01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:47,480 No, but what I'm saying it would have, it would have mattered, 1610 01:17:47,480 --> 01:17:48,960 Omar, with who they would have played there. 1611 01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:51,800 Like, to my knowledge, unless I'm messing this up, which I 1612 01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:53,880 don't think that I am, if the Knicks would have won, they 1613 01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,520 would have played the Raptors. Yeah, I believe, I believe. 1614 01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:58,600 You're right, my roommate. Now we're talking about it. 1615 01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:00,320 Yeah, you're right. Come on, Omar, you gotta come. 1616 01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:02,040 Correct, man. I mean, there's gonna be enough 1617 01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:03,760 things to catch me on. You gotta at least be right, 1618 01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:05,000 though. What else? 1619 01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:07,360 We got a couple of more good ones here. 1620 01:18:09,440 --> 01:18:12,040 Here's just. A follow up to the to his point 1621 01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:16,240 about the 2017 Girardi. Team All right, all right. 1622 01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:17,960 Girardi was let go. Couldn't connect to the young 1623 01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:18,600 guys. That's true. 1624 01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:22,920 Meanwhile, Torres, Sanchez, Fraser, Andujar, heel, Volpe, 1625 01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:26,120 Dominguez that are all stagnated, regressed under 1626 01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:30,760 Boone. Well, I mean, Sanchez, what 1627 01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:32,960 about Gary? Sanchez to me is just lazy. 1628 01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:36,400 All right, number one, I think that that's unfair. 1629 01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:39,480 Avery, you're lumping in a lot of different situations here. 1630 01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:41,320 Keep that up there so I can see all the names. 1631 01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:46,160 All right, the Labour, Torres, I think that Boone let him get 1632 01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:48,000 away with some nonsense. I would agree with that. 1633 01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:51,240 That was like the first time. That's even before I really met 1634 01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:53,760 Aaron or even talked to Aaron. I remember being all over him 1635 01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:55,320 for that. Like I would have benched him. 1636 01:18:56,800 --> 01:19:00,280 He used to bother me. A good player, not great good. 1637 01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:01,520 I thought he was going to be great. 1638 01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:05,240 You know, I've never said at one point I thought that the Labour 1639 01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:07,760 was going to be the Yankees 3 hitter for a long time now that 1640 01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,320 one year that he hit the 38 home runs, but a ton were against the 1641 01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:13,760 Orioles, whatever, before they changed the dimensions, which 1642 01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:15,640 they'd now since changed a couple times here. 1643 01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,080 And then he just was never the same player, good player. 1644 01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:20,840 But I'm just like, man, he's a little bit too on autopilot for 1645 01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:22,800 that glove. And for that he's just like a 1646 01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:27,120 little too cool for school. Kind of like kind of like Jazz, 1647 01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:30,000 although Jazz is a better, more electric athlete. 1648 01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:32,840 You know, Gleber's never going 30 or 40. 1649 01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:34,720 You know, you steal 3040 bases anyway. 1650 01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:39,280 Sanchez was just lazy. And, you know, the fact that 1651 01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:42,280 Gary Sanchez has really never been a starter anywhere since 1652 01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:44,480 tells you all you need to know about Gary Sanchez. 1653 01:19:44,480 --> 01:19:46,680 To me, that's not an Aaron Boone thing. 1654 01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:49,640 That's a Gary Sanchez thing. I mean, we're gonna really lump 1655 01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:52,240 Frazier into this year. I mean, who picked up Frazier 1656 01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:54,080 after it? First of all, Frazier was 1657 01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:55,520 brought in from a different system. 1658 01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:59,360 So whatever they were espousing in that previous system, right? 1659 01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,720 I mean, it didn't really. I know he was a hot prospect but 1660 01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:05,440 you know he wasn't. He wasn't a good outfielder. 1661 01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:08,240 It didn't hit secondary stuff very well. 1662 01:20:08,480 --> 01:20:12,800 Was very arrogant. All right, I mean, on Duhar I he 1663 01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:15,000 flourished under. I mean, he had he had a really 1664 01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:19,480 good well, let me see on Duhar. I was a move that I didn't like 1665 01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:22,480 when the Yankees got rid of him. You know, double S power, good 1666 01:20:22,480 --> 01:20:24,520 player. He'll did win the rookie of the 1667 01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:27,920 year under Aaron Boone both be won a Gold Glove under. 1668 01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:29,440 Now he hasn't gotten better. He's gotten worse. 1669 01:20:29,440 --> 01:20:31,760 I'm not trying to be unfair here, but there's a lot of 1670 01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,680 elements to play. You know, Dominguez very well 1671 01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:37,240 might just be, you know, might just be overrated. 1672 01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:41,240 Now, I don't know that I could say that Dominguez is stagnated. 1673 01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:43,560 I don't know that you can say somebody is stagnated or 1674 01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:46,880 regressed if you didn't see them prior to the bakes. 1675 01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:49,480 Like we could have these thoughts about what a player is 1676 01:20:49,480 --> 01:20:51,520 going to be or what they're supposed to be or, you know, 1677 01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:54,200 what's the height going to match the the ultimate results going 1678 01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:56,840 to match the scouting report, like like Dominguez, right? 1679 01:20:57,280 --> 01:21:02,360 But just because somebody's overhyped, Aaron Boone wasn't 1680 01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:06,320 the one hyping him up. He was busy managing the real 1681 01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:09,720 Yankees. So to say that he's stagnated or 1682 01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:14,000 regressed under Boone, you would you would have had to watch him 1683 01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:16,720 play in the minors all the time and not just look at the 1684 01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:18,760 numbers. And, you know, how did he do 1685 01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:21,600 from the right side of the play? How did he do in the outfield? 1686 01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:22,880 So I I think it's a little unfair. 1687 01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:25,560 I'm not saying you're totally wrong with everything, but, you 1688 01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:28,280 know, not really feeling that completely here. 1689 01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:30,840 What else, J Rod, any other orders of business, Sir? 1690 01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:33,760 What do we got here? How much more leash does mehndi 1691 01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:38,000 have? I mean, listen, you know, the 1692 01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,120 stove is on. Yeah, let me put it there. 1693 01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:43,400 You know, when you turn the stove on and you get that little 1694 01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:48,200 like the pilot trying to ignite, you know, and and then it 1695 01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:50,840 finally goes on. You guys know what I'm talking 1696 01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:51,960 about. The. 1697 01:21:54,440 --> 01:21:58,360 I believe that that click, we've heard a click, all right. 1698 01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:01,120 I don't think there's any visible flame and it's certainly 1699 01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:07,640 not high, but somebody and I'll say somebody, Cohen, his hand is 1700 01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:11,560 just he just gave it one click just to warm it up just in case 1701 01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:14,640 like that's my read or at least that should be the read. 1702 01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:18,320 I think anything that happens, number one, it's still early to 1703 01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:21,840 be fair, but this is continuing from last year. 1704 01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:24,920 They were sloppy and they were disjointed mess. 1705 01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:29,080 Fundamentally, chemistry point of view last year has seeped 1706 01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:31,480 into this year, and that ain't good for Mendy. 1707 01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:35,400 Now, anything that happens because it's early, you've got 1708 01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:37,320 to give a more runway to stabilize it because I think 1709 01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:39,920 he's earned that. OK, based on the based on the 1710 01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:42,720 first really good year. But then, of course, you've got 1711 01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:46,440 to be fair to the man and give him a chance to, you know, run 1712 01:22:46,440 --> 01:22:49,200 out of lineup for, you know, three weeks or a month with Juan 1713 01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:53,280 Soto back in it. So nothing's imminent, but you 1714 01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:56,640 know, I have shot a flare across the sky because I said that 1715 01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,560 coming into the year and I said that at the end of last year on 1716 01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:01,360 the fan. Some of you said that you would 1717 01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:03,320 have fired him. Then I said no, not yet. 1718 01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:08,480 But I remember saying year 32026 now is going to split the 1719 01:23:08,480 --> 01:23:11,360 difference. Great start, shitty year 2, 1720 01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:16,560 let's see who you really are. And there's a lot of examples of 1721 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:21,920 guys, most distressing the pseudo captain who looks as if 1722 01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:25,960 he does not want to be here. And that is up to Mendy. 1723 01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:28,280 Well, it's up to Lindor to fix because you get paid a lot of 1724 01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:33,440 money to fix it. But like, Mendy's got to he, 1725 01:23:33,440 --> 01:23:35,720 he's got to stabilize that, you know, he's got to at least 1726 01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:38,840 connect to Lindor in a way that's meaningful to get Lindor 1727 01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:41,880 back to a space where he's incredibly productive again. 1728 01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:45,520 And then once he's incredibly productive now, you would think 1729 01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:48,600 that there'd be more positive energy from within and he'll be 1730 01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:51,560 a little bit more alert and not sleeping and sleepwalking on the 1731 01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:53,760 field. But yeah, I mean, at this point, 1732 01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:55,640 nothing would surprise me because I listen, I thought the 1733 01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:58,320 Mets coming into the year, we're going to be a good team. 1734 01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:01,840 Not great, but good. Like, you got a problem with 1735 01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:03,840 Peterson as a starting pitcher right now. 1736 01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:07,360 Minai is showing signs of coming back, so maybe they swap at some 1737 01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:11,400 point. Kanga got his Kanga Sanga. 1738 01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:15,040 I knew I wasn't sound the right Sanga got his teeth kicked in 1739 01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:16,040 over the weekend. My God. 1740 01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:18,160 And I actually thought he showed some visible signs of. 1741 01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:20,720 I didn't like his body language. Not going to make too much of 1742 01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:24,320 it, but just follow that away in the mental notation department. 1743 01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:27,640 Didn't love his body language, but I think with Sanga, 1744 01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:33,000 obviously with Peterson, you know, Mcclain's a horse. 1745 01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:36,760 You you love Peralta. You know, you got Scott throwing 1746 01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,680 the ball well in the minors, Jonathan throwing the ball like 1747 01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:41,320 they've got answers downstream as well. 1748 01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:46,680 But there's like we don't know is Simeon Dunn like when they 1749 01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:50,240 got him, he looked kind of finished as a hitter, but a 1750 01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:52,760 massive because there's two year profile prior to that said that 1751 01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:55,880 he was right. Maybe a new city, whatever. 1752 01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:58,200 New York energizes him. Still an elite defensive second 1753 01:24:58,200 --> 01:24:59,720 baseman. The numbers bear that out. 1754 01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:01,520 So I'm going to give him a little bit more room. 1755 01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:04,200 You know, I don't know what kind of I like Polanco and I like the 1756 01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:06,600 shift in direction here, but it's got to work. 1757 01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:12,640 You know, it has to work. It's easy to sit here in, you 1758 01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:15,680 know, March when Benj looks like a stud in the Miners down to 1759 01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:18,440 Port Saint Lucie and say he's going to seamlessly fit in. 1760 01:25:18,440 --> 01:25:20,480 Well, I think eventually he will. 1761 01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:22,880 You know, I think he's, even though he's, you know, made a 1762 01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:24,800 couple of errors out there, whatever, he's made some good 1763 01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:26,840 place as well. I think he's a baseball player. 1764 01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:29,480 I think he's going to figure it out, but he's not going to be up 1765 01:25:29,480 --> 01:25:31,360 here for three months. If he's hitting 190, he's going 1766 01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:33,640 to be down at some point. I mean, the Mets is called the 1767 01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:37,440 Tommy Pham. You know what Tommy Pham is, is 1768 01:25:37,440 --> 01:25:41,760 an old school ass kicker and I believe that he was brought up 1769 01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:46,320 here, not necessarily to get, you know, 28 at bats a week. 1770 01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:49,800 I think he was brought here to your help, whatever the hell is 1771 01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:53,400 going on with endure to pull him out of the doldrums and get this 1772 01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,640 team from point A to point B because he is a guy who's not 1773 01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:59,280 putting up with this nonsense. You know, when he was here. 1774 01:25:59,480 --> 01:26:03,600 Remember personally, he he's just that is a you don't want to 1775 01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:04,840 mess with a dude like Tommy Pham. 1776 01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:07,640 He's just, he ain't playing. You know, if you owe him money 1777 01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:09,840 and you don't pay up, you're gonna you're gonna knock out. 1778 01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:12,400 I mean, that's Jock Peterson. He's gonna walk right up to you. 1779 01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,000 And during batting practice, where's my money? 1780 01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:17,040 You don't have it bang. And he's gonna just level you. 1781 01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:19,040 He's gonna walk away. That's what he did. 1782 01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:23,640 So if he does that in full view and you know, whenever his 1783 01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:25,520 cabers and, you know, even though the stadium's not full, 1784 01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:27,600 but there's a lot of people out there, what do you think he's 1785 01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:29,720 gonna say behind closed doors? If you get your face kicked in 1786 01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:32,800 nine one and you run into two outs on the bases and you have 3 1787 01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:34,800 errors, Tommy Pham's gonna let you know. 1788 01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:37,680 But Tommy Pham's not here to play every day. 1789 01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:40,000 So they've already, they've already, they're already hitting 1790 01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:43,080 a button or reaching for a lever because they know that they've 1791 01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:46,000 got to change the composition of whatever's wrong with this team, 1792 01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:49,040 all right? And Tommy Pham's the same guy. 1793 01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:50,840 Now. Most of these guys are gone. 1794 01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:52,640 Lindor's still here, but I think they have a very good 1795 01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:55,520 relationship. He said a couple of years ago, 1796 01:26:55,800 --> 01:27:02,920 that was that, 2022 or 2023. It's blending in now the bad 1797 01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:04,480 year, obviously. So it wouldn't have been 20. 1798 01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:08,640 I think maybe 2023 where he's like, I've never seen a a, a 1799 01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:11,640 less professional team. Like I've never, I've never been 1800 01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:13,400 around a team and he's played for everybody. 1801 01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:17,000 Never been around a team that works, you know, less hard than 1802 01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:18,800 this team. I mean, he talked about it. 1803 01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:20,960 Indictment on the franchise. My goodness gracious. 1804 01:27:21,440 --> 01:27:22,960 It's about the worst thing you could say. 1805 01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:26,200 I mean, really. So we'll see. 1806 01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:28,400 Hopefully it's a little jolt of energy for the Mets. 1807 01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:30,240 The Yankees got to start hitting. 1808 01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:33,120 I know they're going to go on a little run when when when Judge 1809 01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:36,880 goes out of two week binge with six home runs and, you know, 17 1810 01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:41,760 RBIs with an OPS at 1300. But it should not be his sole 1811 01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:45,080 responsibility to always just dig this team out. 1812 01:27:45,480 --> 01:27:48,360 And that's fundamentally my issue with the Yankees where if 1813 01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:52,000 Aaron Judge, God forbid, ever got hurt or if Aaron Judge, I 1814 01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,560 want to say God forbid, I don't want to, you know, misuse that. 1815 01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:58,040 But if Aaron Judge were to have an average year for him, Yanks 1816 01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:01,200 got big problems because the only reason the Yankees win, you 1817 01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:04,160 know, a regular season games at the frequency that they do is 1818 01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:05,640 pretty much because of Aaron Judge. 1819 01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:09,880 That's really the bottom line. Is Goldie in the witness 1820 01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:11,040 protection program? Yeah. 1821 01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:12,480 I don't know what they're doing with the lineup. 1822 01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:13,520 I just don't know. Snoop. 1823 01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:14,960 I have no idea. I don't like it. 1824 01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:18,120 I don't get it. You know, I do think they've got 1825 01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:21,240 a couple of decent options like, you know, Rosario and and Boone 1826 01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:23,960 went with the gut last week, got rewarded two home runs 1827 01:28:24,440 --> 01:28:26,680 game-winning three run bomb for Rosario. 1828 01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:28,920 And then he started against a couple of righties and then you 1829 01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:30,880 see why he doesn't really play against righties. 1830 01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:33,240 But there's just a lot of internal options right now. 1831 01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:37,120 You know, if you separate like the logo and the branding and 1832 01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:39,760 the mystique and the aura, which I have done for years from the 1833 01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:41,760 Yankees, like I just don't I don't waste my time with that. 1834 01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:44,480 Like I could do two things. I can appreciate the history of 1835 01:28:44,480 --> 01:28:47,680 the Yankees and tell you right now that it means nothing today. 1836 01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:50,680 Means nothing today. I need things that I can 1837 01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:53,240 quantify. I can't quantify Aura and I 1838 01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:56,360 can't quantify mystique. Nobody's afraid of the Yankees 1839 01:28:56,360 --> 01:28:57,560 anymore. Nobody. 1840 01:28:57,840 --> 01:28:59,120 Just us. Nobody. 1841 01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:00,840 Oh, God, we fuck got to put the Yankees. 1842 01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:02,320 The A's rolled in. Yeah. 1843 01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:04,160 We're going to beat you. Yankees rolled in. 1844 01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:06,920 They just fixed the trop right after the hurricane. 1845 01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:08,680 They're Rays. Like we're going to sweep you. 1846 01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:10,320 We're going to beat you. Playing you 3 times. 1847 01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:13,040 We're going to win three times. Nobody fears the Yankees. 1848 01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:18,120 Nobody so you know, that's got to that's got to rectify itself 1849 01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:23,120 from within because they are just they they they're they're 1850 01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:25,440 hitting. It's really amazing. 1851 01:29:25,440 --> 01:29:27,920 Like because I was very busy this weekend, most of the games 1852 01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:30,560 and I mean, I'll follow it all. Obviously I'll do my homework 1853 01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:32,920 for the show, but you know, I'm checking and going on the app 1854 01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:35,440 and I'm like, Oh my God, for both of these teams. 1855 01:29:35,440 --> 01:29:39,440 I think for the last week I flip on my phone, you know, 5th 1856 01:29:39,440 --> 01:29:42,360 inning, 6th inning, 7th inning. Yankees have one run, Mets have 1857 01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:44,680 no runs. Mets have one run, Yankees have 1858 01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:46,840 no runs. You know, up, Yankees tie the 1859 01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:47,800 game up. There we go. 1860 01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:49,800 They were raised one at late because Grisham doesn't know the 1861 01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:51,920 free, Jazz doesn't know the rule. 1862 01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:55,680 You know, Mets 6 home games, five extra base hits. 1863 01:29:55,720 --> 01:30:00,240 You know 0000 they scored a run, 0000. 1864 01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:04,880 It has been, as we say, fugly. It's a little hybrid word for 1865 01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:06,920 you, baseball. It has been. 1866 01:30:07,320 --> 01:30:10,440 It's a long run, it's a long season. 1867 01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:13,800 A lot of things can change and will change. 1868 01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:16,920 I can promise you that. The Yankees and the Mets will 1869 01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:20,720 not have seven or eight guys combined hitting below 200. 1870 01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:24,560 That will not happen, all right. But some of the things that 1871 01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:28,120 really ailed these teams, there's also no guarantee that 1872 01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:32,320 they resolve themselves to the point where they are both, you 1873 01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:37,240 know, healthy, easy playoff teams that can kind of roll into 1874 01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:40,200 the middle part of September, set up the rotation for the 1875 01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:42,280 postseason. I mean, this might be a nip and 1876 01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:44,440 tuck. You know, this might be you 1877 01:30:44,440 --> 01:30:49,080 might need 160 games or 161 or even 162 to determine your 1878 01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:52,320 postseason fate. And when you do that, there's no 1879 01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:55,680 guarantee, you know what I mean? So that's just an early read. 1880 01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:59,440 And I'm generally, I was going to say I'm generally pretty calm 1881 01:30:59,440 --> 01:31:03,200 with this stuff. No, I'm not calm, but fairly 1882 01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:05,080 pragmatic with baseball understanding. 1883 01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:07,760 It's it's just not the same energy or evaluation. 1884 01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:11,200 At least it shouldn't be of an NFL season, all right? 1885 01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:14,040 Shouldn't be. We got some issues here, though, 1886 01:31:14,440 --> 01:31:18,000 and it's incumbent upon them. I'm pointing them out like, you 1887 01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:20,600 know, all right, it is up to them. 1888 01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:25,240 It is up to the New York Yankees and the New York Mets to figure 1889 01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:28,800 it out. And if they don't, you're going 1890 01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:31,440 to start talking more and more. And this is just, it's going to 1891 01:31:31,440 --> 01:31:35,960 be what it's going to be job security, be talking about a lot 1892 01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:38,440 of stuff. And I prefer not to do that. 1893 01:31:38,440 --> 01:31:40,880 But if I have to, I promise I will. 1894 01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:43,640 Oh, you remember the camp commercial? 1895 01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:46,760 Yeah, you go with the yellow :) very nice. 1896 01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:48,160 Yeah. Young people's day camp. 1897 01:31:48,400 --> 01:31:52,080 Also, real quick, let me clear Omar Yousef's name here. 1898 01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:54,600 He's right. But it, it was an, it's a, it's 1899 01:31:54,600 --> 01:31:57,880 a, it's kind of convoluted. It's like the Knicks game didn't 1900 01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:01,800 have a ton of bearing, but then every other game did have an 1901 01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:03,600 impact. Yeah, like the magic? 1902 01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:06,000 Yeah. Magic 1 The Hawks 1. 1903 01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:10,720 So yeah, it was like a it's it kind of the Knicks game itself. 1904 01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:14,400 Like didn't have the band, some other other thing did. 1905 01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:17,280 Variables there you go J Rod way to button things up buddy. 1906 01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:20,040 Any before I bounce here? Great show. 1907 01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:21,960 Pretty pretty good views of today at. 1908 01:32:22,120 --> 01:32:24,720 All I mean, awesome shot. I feel like topics were 1909 01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:27,120 poignant. The chat was buzzing. 1910 01:32:27,440 --> 01:32:29,240 Out of Boy J Great, great. What? 1911 01:32:29,280 --> 01:32:30,880 What a better way to start the week, no? 1912 01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:33,480 Honestly, no, I'm with you. I think I have to go get the car 1913 01:32:33,480 --> 01:32:35,360 washed here. That's the other thing too, like 1914 01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:37,680 when you get out of the car, and I know many of you can relate to 1915 01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:40,520 this, when you get out of out of the car, I'm sure it's the same 1916 01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:42,640 with a hockey weekend. Football's different because 1917 01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:44,760 it's one game and in and out, boom. 1918 01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:47,640 And but when you get out of the car and as you know, I'm a 1919 01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:49,480 fanatic. I'm a nut ball with my car 1920 01:32:49,480 --> 01:32:50,920 because I just like it to be clean. 1921 01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:53,680 That's why I pay 80 bucks a month where I can go anytime. 1922 01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:56,160 We talked about that last couple weeks ago where I could just go 1923 01:32:56,160 --> 01:32:58,640 basically every day if I want. I get charged a monthly rate, so 1924 01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:01,360 I'm going to go now. But when you do a baseball 1925 01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:04,440 weekend, multiple games Saturday, multiple games Sunday, 1926 01:33:04,440 --> 01:33:08,560 the shit that you want to see. I mean, you know, they leave 1927 01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:10,840 around. My son leaves banana peels like 1928 01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:13,640 he's in the jungle, you know, But honestly, because I try to 1929 01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:16,320 like the other thing that's hard too is like when you have to get 1930 01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:19,680 up early and like drive, unfortunately, you do kind of 1931 01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:22,320 compromise a little bit what the kids eat in the morning. 1932 01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:25,520 You're not going to get up and make freaking, you know, what 1933 01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:27,840 kind of omelet would you like? Son and daughter, you know, and 1934 01:33:27,920 --> 01:33:30,280 we go, come on, we got to be the car 15 minutes because we got to 1935 01:33:30,280 --> 01:33:32,800 drive an hour and 47 minutes to get to this field because you 1936 01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:34,160 have batting practice at this time. 1937 01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:35,760 You got this uniform, you got this hat. 1938 01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:40,480 Let's go, you know, so I try to at least, you know, present some 1939 01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:43,920 nutrition, you know, so I'll have like a yogurt for him. 1940 01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:47,160 I'll have, I'll give him a banana, maybe a protein bar, 1941 01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:49,800 always a Gatorade, but then it's just screwing all over the car. 1942 01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:51,880 Then of course, and I actually enjoy this. 1943 01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:55,320 Then we go to Wawa, which is money and we get the big 1944 01:33:55,320 --> 01:33:58,080 slushies, right? Daddy might even get a slushy 1945 01:33:58,080 --> 01:34:00,600 here and there. But then the next step, empty 1946 01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:04,960 yogurt bottles, banana peels, you know, is 711 slushies, wah 1947 01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:09,560 wah Swash was, you know, slushies, napkins, socks, you 1948 01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:12,240 know the cup, he takes the cup. It's just a disaster. 1949 01:34:12,480 --> 01:34:15,000 So I got to go and clean the car cuz I get nervous. 1950 01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:17,720 I get uneasy when my car is filthy. 1951 01:34:17,800 --> 01:34:19,880 And right now my car is beyond recognition. 1952 01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:22,720 So yeah, you're right. Really good start to the week, 1953 01:34:22,720 --> 01:34:24,360 man. Guys, 10 days until the NFL 1954 01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:26,920 draft. Can't wait, cannot wait. 1955 01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:32,480 We've got The Jets Collective. Episode number 4 is this week. 1956 01:34:32,480 --> 01:34:36,560 Myself and obviously Rich Simini and Jake Aspen, we're doing that 1957 01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:39,280 on Wednesday at 7, The Jets Collective. 1958 01:34:39,280 --> 01:34:40,520 All right, guys, go check that out. 1959 01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:42,760 Give it a like, give it a sub, hit the comments, check it out. 1960 01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:46,320 We've done 3 episodes already. A lot of different content 1961 01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:49,680 breakdown, obviously Gino and what they're going to do with 1962 01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:52,000 the draft and some of the things Aaron Glenn said and a lot of 1963 01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:55,040 focus on Muji blah, blah, blah. So that's coming up Wednesday of 1964 01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:57,120 this week here. All right, let me get stop 1965 01:34:57,120 --> 01:34:58,920 popping these up because if you don't, if you don't, I'll I'll 1966 01:34:58,960 --> 01:35:02,160 read this, but if you don't pop it, if I, I don't want to just 1967 01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:04,120 leave somebody hanging. So the more you pop up, the more 1968 01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:08,680 I got a stick. Let me get at LV127781-BT. 1969 01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:10,720 Like I said earlier in the text that I said he got hit in the 1970 01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:14,280 head. He got hit in the head at A tag 1971 01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:17,920 out at second base and he got up slowly Lingor. 1972 01:35:18,440 --> 01:35:21,120 I know, I know he could be dealing with a concussion that 1973 01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:24,320 was never addressed. I mean, I guess I'll leave the 1974 01:35:24,320 --> 01:35:29,880 door slightly open for that, I guess, but you know I am then 1975 01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:32,920 then have a doctor look at it. Let me tell you, you know, I'm 1976 01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:35,040 not trying to be incenses, but especially with the head trauma. 1977 01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:38,360 But I mean, if the Met team doctors are that dumb, which I 1978 01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:41,520 know they're not, where somebody bangs their head and he's a star 1979 01:35:41,520 --> 01:35:45,080 player and he's making $35 million a year and he's a little 1980 01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:47,560 hitter. You know, you might want to keep 1981 01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:49,400 tabs on them. You know, how we doing, you 1982 01:35:49,400 --> 01:35:52,280 know, give them the eye test. You know, check the concussion. 1983 01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:53,920 Listen. And again, not to make light of 1984 01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:56,720 it ever, but it is tricky to diagnose a concussion. 1985 01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:59,800 There's obviously warning signs that there's different degrees 1986 01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:03,680 and when you do this more for football like or, or hockey, I 1987 01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:06,920 guess rugby too. When you get a concussion, the 1988 01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:10,280 real danger for a young kid is that they come back too soon 1989 01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:13,360 because then you got the then then you have a micro concussion 1990 01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:16,240 within the first concussion and then that that's that's 1991 01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:18,640 downstream residually. That could be a real issue. 1992 01:36:18,640 --> 01:36:21,320 But again, I'm not trying to be unfair to Lindor. 1993 01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:24,640 If that's the case, then he's got to speak up or, or more 1994 01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:26,120 importantly, if he's trying to grit through it. 1995 01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:27,280 And I don't think that that's the case. 1996 01:36:27,280 --> 01:36:30,520 But if he is, then somebody's got to step in and protect him 1997 01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:32,240 from himself. So that's it. 1998 01:36:32,240 --> 01:36:34,240 J Rod, good job today, buddy. Good to see you. 1999 01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:36,120 Have an awesome Monday, buddy.

BT Unleashed. 2003 01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:44,960 We will have a hopefully a Yankee guest this week. 2004 01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:51,960 I will tell I've got something on Wednesday that is amazing and 2005 01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:54,160 I'm going to tell you guys.

I mean, put it that way. 2009 01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:06,840 It's it's equal parts amazing and sad, but it's somebody that 2010 01:37:06,840 --> 01:37:09,480 I want to welcome to the show.
