"Yeah, right. But he has no option to go well unless it's an opposite field foul poles. Use all fields, pull the pole, right? Right. You could have some foul ball specialists who could actually go the other way. It's like if you can do that. If you're a hitter that can do that, don't you just hit really well anyway and you're just like a guy in the lineup probably. Yeah, because if you knew that someone could do it with some greater than average regularity, but could only do it to the poor field. Well then you just pitch him away, right? And probably he's cooked. He's just like, oh, I have my one skill. Right. So it would be would make you pretty easy to pitch to, I think, if everyone knew you were doing it, and if you could only do it to one field. But yeah, inevitably it would be a pretty low probability play. But we say that now with hitters not having trained for this, their whole lives. So if the incentive were there and you just said you took swing after swing after swing and it was like when you get in the cage like instead of laying down your bunts and then trying to hit line drives up the middle or whatever, you just try to rip one and hit the foul pole. I don't know. Maybe then again like if everyone's trying to hit the foul pole that pitchers would respond to that and pitch everyone differently and then that would be difficult. So yeah, if you know what the hitter is trying to do and it's something that's specific that I think that makes them more vulnerable and also it would be just tough. I assume that there is a specific diameter that the foul poles allowed to be and that people aren't cheating they having a slightly thicker foul pole than other foul poles. I don't know how rigorously the measurements are done there, but you might have some teams. Well, you got the little great too. Yeah, there's the netting often, yeah. So I don't know whether teams would try to have fat foul pulse to try to you'd have to really measure that. I'd love to see the data on how often the foul pole is currently hit. Like what percentage of home runs. I guess statcast, I don't know whether stack has could tell us that. Maybe, maybe. I have not seen the data on that, but you'd think that we could figure that out these days. So that might be instructive. Yeah, I think, yeah, it would definitely, they should develop that technology to answer this very specific question that doesn't really have any real game value. But I think it is illuminating of one of the central goals of rule making in baseball, which is that you never want to tilt the scale too heavily in favor of one side or the other, right? So you never want to introduce the nuclear scoring option into baseball because if you do that, then the game gets all out of whack. Things get catty wampus. If you are going to come back from an 8 run deficit, like we insist that you earn that. And we give you a mechanism to do it with efficiency in the home run. You don't have to then juice that further, right? Because, you know, you can already, in theory, score for whole runs in one go if the opportunity presents itself. And that feels like a sufficient claw back to relevance option. But yeah, sure would be fun. Who would we enjoy seeing see doing this the most? It would be the most fun with the tiniest guy. You know, we want the tiniest guy hitting the 8 run shot. That's what you want. The tiny guy. Tiny. All right, another outfield related hypothetical. This is from John in Deadwood, South Dakota, who says, regarding Pitts, whenever professional bull writing comes to my town of residence, Deadwood South Dakota. There are advertisements to get tickets for the Shark Tank, which is a dugout pit in the middle of the arena that is caged in for fans to be able to absolutely action. Nope. Well, I'm not sure about player pits. I think this could be an interesting player obstacle where instead of box seats, you could purchase cage seats, randomly dug into the outfield that players could climb for a height advantage to catch a ball or an obstacle in play. Absolutely. So I watched a couple of videos of these shark tanks in the bull riding arena. They call it a Shark Tank when it's bull riding thing. Yeah, it's like you see in shark week. I mean, when they lower the tank and they have the camera people in there and the sharks like bash their head against the caption rattle the cage. It looks like that except you're sitting in it and you're not submerged in water and it's full instead of sharks, but same surf idea. Really? Yeah. Well, that's the thing. I guess, right. It's not so dangerous to you, the spectator in the cage, assuming that the tank is well constructed. Sometimes there's shark tanks, they will come apart. But I assume it is, I guess, a little added dangerous to the bull and the rider, but it's already so dangerous that maybe it's just like, what's a tank in the middle of the thing? Or maybe the bull will avoid the tank more often than not. I don't know. It would be tough if you had this in an outfield because, well, usually I guess the bulk can see what's in front of them, right? Whereas the outfielder can not always, they're going back on a bow, then they can not see the tank. Now, of course, they could learn where it is, if it's in their home park, but then if they're visiting player, they have to familiarize themselves with where that tank was. It would be like in old Yankee Stadium when they used to have monument park in play or there would be like a flagpole out there on Taos hill or whatever, or the pole. Right. And those things would be like in deep, deep center where they were rarely a factor, but these would be, I guess, spread around the outfield, or it would be closer to in play. Now these would be, I think, very in demand seats. I mean, if they were like a tunnel that went under the field and then you just pop up and you could sit or stand and basically you're looking at things from, I don't know, like outfielder, knee or

"We just saw a clip of east New York on CBS and just again, you are back, oh, there's Richard kyne right there in the movie. Oh, yeah. Richard kind, okay? Yeah, you're back on in New York. You're back in New York City. I guess it's a different role than spin city from him right there, I would say from his last time in New York. You have no question about it. So you're from east New York originally. So this is like full circle for you, huh? Pretty much? I can't tell you on a day to today basis when we're out there actually shooting. We shoot all around Brooklyn, but when we do shoot in east New York, some of the set piece sequences that we've done have been on streets that I trampled on as a teenager. So we were shooting in church a lot the other day that my sister did her first communion and got married in and so I'm just flushed with memories. And at the cast is probably tired of me already going. That's the high school I went to. That's where I saw Al sharpton first week when he was a kid. That is so great. But at least you bring that bring that to the role. And that's pretty cool. I was talking with you about it a little bit in the back here. So east New York is that a met or a Yankee area? What is that? East New York so it's the easternmost part of Brooklyn. So it's close to the queen's border. So there are a lot of met fans. But I'm like Yankee. We lived all around New York. Did my wonder years in Brooklyn junior high school in high school, college. But growing up, we lived in The Bronx for a good while and my dad, he knew the pepitone family, which the Joe pepitone was of course. And some of the Yankee teams before the 70s years I was just talking about. He was right that was right around that time. So did you grow up in the old Yankee Stadium? Oh, absolutely. Yeah, just following 7 Mickey Mantle 9 by damaris. Yeah. You know, yeah. What do you think of judge hitting 62? What do you think of that? I mean, what does that mean to you, Jimmy? It's just about the person that he is. And you're talking about DNA in the storybook of the Yankees. That he has that same kind of. Being a wonderful athlete, but at the same time knowing what team is all about. I mean, the same thing that Jeter had and he does have a very Jeter like quality to him as well, where you're in a list star in New York. You never hear a bad word about him. He never winds up on the wrong side of the newspaper. You know, he does have a Jeter like quality. Absolutely. And it was just, well, I was on a plane, coming here to see you. And my family was like, yo, it's happening. It happened. Turn the turn to TV on and the plane are like, no, I'm on the wrong airlines. They didn't have the feed, huh? So I was watching, I watched the clip. But to think that people would walk in him, Boston didn't want to really give him any juice. But the beautiful thing about him is he didn't change his approach the entire time. Absolutely. He didn't go in the toilet. He didn't go like two for the 30. He was walking. He was scoring. He was doing what he needed to do. Walking is going right. Being a team player. Exactly, Jimmy, exactly. Love it. Yes, me too. Jimmy Smits is here from east New York. Again, on CBS available to stream live and on demand on paramount plus, it premiered this past Sunday. And we just saw a clip of the show and I'm such a fan of yours and NYPD blue from back in the day. I noticed because again, it's the executive producer. There's some DNA from NYPD. Billy finkelstein. Williams, who started out on LA law, sent a spec script about to go and start out on LA law. And worked on blue after that. Michael Robin, who also started out as a working on post production as an intern, and then worked his way up through the bachelor ranks. It's in there and so there was a trust besides the whole east New York thing. Right. There was a trust that a shorthand that we have. They have a young creator named Michael Flynn, who is just bringing his a game and has also worked with David Kelly who has that kind of same the same DNA about the words on the page. Right. And how you can do in the framework of what network TV is. You're doing a police procedural, but that character is important. So of course, you know, and you're naming all people from like I guess the Steven Bochco tree. And the other names that you mentioned. But I picked up on that clip, not just your acting and what was being said. But the telephones in the background. That's like old school NYPD. Yeah, yeah. Because it's a working, it's a working police department. It's the real deal of what your portraying to everybody on camera. When you started doing this, did you have flashbacks to the blue days when you were NYPD blue day? And this particular show? Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. But it's so different for me because I'm in uniform now. The guy is like, the guy's vibe is totally like a rock, a puller. I play a borough commander of

"He's a mets fan and the other one was a Yankees fan and like it was fun. It was a good game once we got in, we didn't get to Grom unfortunately he had been scheduled to pitch, but then he got pushed back so we got Taiwan walker instead, which is not quite a special, but it turned out to be a good game, but we didn't get into the park until the second inning and we got there early so we just could not get in and then my friends they wanted to get some food and I was like no thank you like I've had enough time online they were getting food for like two innings. It was like the worst and then of course you get onto the D trade and afterward and oh man it's like total sardine can situation and like trains not running and if I don't get COVID from that, then I just must be immune I don't know. That's the greatest couple of the price and just like the aesthetic of the place at everything and you know unless you're going to a great game with great friends and great company in which case it's fun regardless like it got to a point where I'm with a friend and we're just like aghast at how long it's taking to get into the park and it went past like frustrating to just like almost absurdly fun in a way that it was like so mismanaged that it took us so long to get in. But man, I mean that place I don't love it. It just seems like they did not do a good job with that part both in terms of getting into it and just the accessibility and then just like how fun it is to watch a game there and you're further from the field. It's just it's not a special bell park. It's really not. I'm much prefer city field frankly and just about everywhere. Almost everywhere I've gone except for like old cookie cutter, multi purpose parks, maybe some of which are no longer around anymore. It's toward the bottom of my list, if not at the bottom of my ballpark list. Yeah, I feel well, I always feel nervous. Leveling these criticisms, but I will say perhaps this will inoculate me a little bit. As a person who was able to go to a game at old Yankee Stadium, you know, I'm sure that if it were my regular ballpark, the gaps between, you know, when an experience is fun and old timey and obviously rundown would maybe widen and be more obvious. But yeah, it had character rate. It had personality. And I think it wasn't just that it had like grime. It had actual personality to it. And even then, I remember being kind of underwhelmed by some of the concession options, but like the ballpark was cool, so whatever. That's what you were there for. Right, sure. And you know, that was like what 2008 was the last year of that place. So they didn't have as much Gourmet ballpark food back then. Anywhere. But exactly. I would imagine that for the time it was pretty standard, right? We were doing. We were doing anything other than Bud Light anywhere, really, at that point. So I think that it had had a feel to it. You could feel the history to the place and you're right. I've said this before, like the new Yankee Stadium feels like they built a ballpark on the back lot at Disney so that they could film. A show or a movie about a baseball team. And it feels like it is generic on purpose in a way that is very strange for such a. For such a storied franchise and for a franchise that has a very high level of self regard, right? Like you would think that they would want you to go into that place and be like a temple to baseball and specifically Yankees baseball. And it just doesn't have that feel to it, and then yeah, whenever a team that is and has been very good for a long time, like can't do the ticket logistics stuff, I'm just like, what's your excuse for this? Because I remember there were times when I was, you know, when my local park was what is now T mobile, what was safeco, and you know, there would be a couple of weekends a year where either because of a ballpark promotion or because of the visiting team coming in, like, safeco would be full, and you could tell that they were kind of stretched, right? That they weren't used to dealing with sell out crowds because the Mariners were not good. And hadn't been good for a long time, but it's like, what is the Yankees excuse for that? Are they just, is the assumption just that, well, you're going to put up with this because you really want to see the Yankees and the mets. I know that not every day is a sell out there and I know that not every day has as much sort of local buy in as a subway series game where you're pulling both local teams fandoms, but like you gotta have that stuff kind of figured out. Plus it is the worst feeling. When you are in an extremely long line, such that you can not even see the front of it really. You were just you are not only are you aware of your distance, but you are, or at least I am, you're aware of the grand act of faith that you are engaged in because you are assuming that you are in the right line and that the people ahead of you didn't just like form a line that they weren't like, eh, I guess this is where, you know, I was coming home from a couple of days of vacation yesterday and there was a moment where it became clear in the boarding group that someone had just stood in a place and then everyone assumed that was the front of the line. And it was not. They were just standing there. They were like, oh, I'm sorry are you in line? And it was like, oh gosh. Yeah, we just had to take it on faith. We were in the line for the line, yeah. And I've been there many times, so it's not just for subway seriously. It's never routine to get in there. It's never like you just sail right through. I don't know what it is. Yes, they have metal detectors and all of that. But it didn't even seem like that was such a hold up. It was just like crowd control. There wasn't any. It was just uncontrolled crowd. So I don't know how they don't have this down pat at this point, having been open for so long and having had many subway series games before, but really that's part of the problem and then once you get into the park, you're underwhelmed by the look of the place and the feel of the place as well. And I've worked there as a Yankees employee. I've worked there as a writer and I've gone there as a fan. So it's not a small sample for me. It's the closest MLB ballpark to me. I've been there many times and I'm just extremely unimpressed by the place. It's also astoundingly loud. And I know that nothing makes you sound older than complaining about the decibel level at a ballpark, but it's just deafening in there, not being in the press box. I could fully appreciate the volume. My friend was joking that it's like if you're a baseball broadcaster, you have to be conscious of starting a story with two outs because you might get cut off. It's the same sort of thing. If you're just with a friend at Yankee Stadium, the between innings noise, just drowns everything else out, not saying it needs to be like a church in there or that the old stadium was quiet in my youth, but having a conversation with your Friends is one of the best parts of being at a ballpark and if you can't do that because it's so loud that maybe it's too loud. Every time they would flash like make some noise at the scoreboard, it's like, no, please have mercy my ears have been punished enough as a concert at MetLife stadium last week.

"Show. Amazing. We ever find out who was the official score in that game? Who gave him a triple? I just want to say. I want to tell this one story again. Because we just talked about that 2001 World Series, and I was there. The night that Bush throughout that first pitch and the first night back in The Bronx and every single time, the four train went by and right field I held my breath. When O'Neal said that he and brosius stopped running in the outfield to watch bush throw the first pitch and it was a strike and he was wearing body armor and everything. I mean, honestly, it was like fort Apache, The Bronx. In The Bronx. And it was frightening. Every single time that Fortran rumble by and for him to say that they were relieved when Bush left the field safely, damn straight. That is exactly the way we all felt. And then the games. Being in the tunnel, okay? Being in the tunnel, I've told this story I'll just tell it again real briefly. I was in the tunnel the night that Jeter hit that home run for mister November. I was in the tunnel at night. The walk off and we were the entire media was in the old Yankee Stadium. There were two ways to get on a field through the tunnel of. Attached to each dugout. That's it. Okay. So the losing team, that would be the tunnel you would have to vacate because they have to leave the field in the umpires and all that. The winning team, you go out that tunnel. As the media because they're out on the field, celebrate. Except in a game that went back and forth in extra innings. We had to run from one tunnel to the other based on the fact that, okay, one team's up, we need to line up in that tunnel. Now the teams, the last at bat, could be for the home team. We got to go in there tunnel. And we would run back and forth between each tunnel. How many people would you say? How to be 50. Wow. And it looked like the Benny Hill show. Honestly, like you could play yakety sex because the people who are running where had cameras and boom mics and first responders had to go with us and it was running. You had to go run buying home plate. No, we go in the time back dug up. Nope. Okay, we got to come back here. Approximate distance, would you say Richard? Oh man, how to be hundreds of feet? Really? Oh, yeah. Oh yeah, go from one dugout to one locker room around home plate to the other one? Oh, yeah. So we're lined up in the Yankee dugout. I have the feet of the radio in my ear, but it went out underneath Yankee Stadium. Yeah. And there was one, I don't know who sat in there. Probably a trainer or something. I don't know, there was one little room with a small TV, this little room that was cut into this walkway that probably where Babe Ruth kept his smokes or his, honestly, that thing, is this where he left his bottle of gin or whatever. Honestly. This little room probably had its own history to it that I would love to have told. Mickey Mantle. Yankee Stadium. You know what I'm saying? You no idea what was going on in that little one, but there was this little TV. And either you were lucky to be lined up like one time I was in the tunnel, it always lined up with it, so I could see what was going on this time though I was beyond it and as the I forget who was there for Fox, they had the first position in the line every time because they were the television rights holders. And then I was second for ESPN radio. We were the radio rights holders. And I think Charlie Steiner was in there too because he was the ESPN reporter for SportsCenter too. We were all there. And then Jeter hits that home run, and I will never forget. You heard a thunder. Polynesia said that you felt the Yankee Stadium ground shake when he touched home plate on that game winning hit from Joe Girardi or the go ahead run for Joe Girardi and game 6 of the 1996 World Series. You felt the stadium shake and then somebody screams Jeter just Homer. Wow. Somebody's getting and then people are going to be gone. Go, go, go, go. Like, get out there. And I have goosebumps saying it. I get out, I'm one of the first out of the tunnel, and I'll never forget, I looked up because I wanted to see what the crowd looked like, and everyone was in the stands jumping for joy, throwing crap, it was just like New Year's Eve, throwing stuff out, and I watched Jeter round third. That's how I got out, I got out there before he touched home plate. I remember looking up because those were the seats. I used to be in and yank that old Yankee Stadium when I grew up going to the stadium. You got those bleacher seats, not out in the bleachers, but the last 5 rows of the stadium. We would go to and I would watch the stump Merrill Yankees and they were garbage holy crap where they awful. And I just remember thinking to myself what that kid would think of that news to sit up there being on the field watching this thing. And of course I would get a hold of myself and be a professional, but I would never forget that moment. You know, mister November, because it went on after midnight. Thanks to bian young Kim and he couldn't close some of those games, Matt for the Diamondbacks. Brutal. And then of course the fact that neither Schilling nor Johnson were on the mound and Yankee stating kind of helped out because they were the ones who won in games one, two, 6 and 7 in that World Series. Memory lane. Let's take a break, come back. Bill Belichick, I mean, he's already in mid season form. Postseason for him. He's in Belichick form. About this thorny issue of who's calling plays in New England. That's.

"And he got traded and I remember talking to him and how disappointed he was to be getting out of San Diego and having to go to a team at the time that was at the bottom of the standings. And now all of a sudden, fast forward, two years later, he's one of the leaders. He's one of the main guys pulling the pull on that rope and you know his team is a team to be reckoned with. So shout out to Thai Friends. Yeah, absolutely. Can't get enough of them. And speaking of which, those Mariners are 13 and 16, I did pick them to win the AL central. This is a really good team and a really good division. And the reason why I'm bringing that up on this ridiculous walk off weekend we just had and Major League Baseball. Anthony Rendon. He's a huge contract, goes over to the angels, has a disappointing first year. I think even he would be free, freely admitted it was a disappointing time to play for the angels. Team played poorly. He got hurt miss most of the year. Now he's back, he's held he's playing well, hits a walk off yesterday on this team. By the way, 19 and 11 are the Los Angeles angels of Anaheim. They're one half game ahead of the asteroids or 1811. The angels seem like they're real. I don't know. It might be too early to say that. I do think they're pitching is going to come to haunt them, but the angels really good and they do not look like they feel like slowing down. What do you think about their arms? I don't know, and I've said that's when we get I don't know if the arms can continue to hold up throughout the season. I think it's a wait and see situation. But we've always thought that the offense was had the potential to be one of the more elite offenses in the game. And now all of a sudden you got Rendon back right now and I've always been a huge fan of Anthony, man. He can flat out hit when he's healthy. And he's starting to pick it up. He started off slow. He started to swing the bat here better as of late, but I think this angel team could be it. Now, listen, the Astros have run off like 7 straight. And I kind of, we kind of expect these runs from the Astros. Like they'll run off 8, 9, ten straight, the lose 5 in a row. And that's, I think, who the Astros are right now is still a very good team. Not as consistent as we've seen them in the past. And I think that does open the door for an angels in a Mariners to take that division. I think we got to hold up and see in terms of the pitching, but certainly you do know you got two guys that are pitching well, really three guys that are pitching, well, if you count lorenzen, you got Otani, who I think obviously will be their ace. But I mean, cinder guard is look great so far. And if you can piece it together, they got a chance to be in the thick of things for this division. You ain't lying. You ain't lying at all. And last walk off of the weekend, the one we're saving for last because it's the juiciest and funniest. Thomas is a walk off for the Yankees. Everything seems perfectly flying a normal until you put the microphone and Chris Woodward's hand, manager of the Texas Rangers. And this is not the first time Woodward has made a comment about something like this. In case you don't know this, there has been a lot of talk about the Yankee Stadium right field wall being a little short over the years ever since the new Yankee Stadium opened up. Well, we haven't heard many comments about it for like the last 5 years because it's kind of an old complaint. Well, he hits a home run walk off of tag off of the right field wall and Chris Woodward comes out and says that's not a home run at 99% of the ballparks in Major League Baseball, just frustrated. Well, next thing you know, Aaron Boone comes out. They ask him, what he has to say about that comment and just a straight up mic drop moment, bad math there. There's only 30 ballparks in the Major League Baseball. I'm not sure you can. Phenomenal. Phenomenal. Phenomenal. People are calling for Aaron Boone's head in The Bronx for two years. I say, give him an extension for that comment alone. That comment definitely gonna buy him more time for sure amongst the Yankee base. Listen, can somebody remind me when the new Yankee Stadium was put up? Was it like what happened? In 2008? 9 7? We're about ten, 12 years removed from when it came up. At that time, I think it's time to move on. It's no different than the little short porch in Boston down the line. Oh, by the way, old Yankee Stadium wasn't much, much longer. Wasn't much bigger down the right field. So let's get to frustration, right? It was a ball that probably it doesn't go out in many parts. But you're not playing in many parts. Yeah. You're playing a Yankee Stadium. And on top of that, they actually did the math. It was a 106 off the bat. It was a line drive laser over the right center field wall. And by the way, they did the math. The actual math, it would have gotten out of 27 of the 30 ballparks, so you have it. There you have it. Chris Woodward, this is not the first time you've made a comment about an oppo tank being hit off your team. I do believe you had something to say about the great Fernando Tatís Jr. a couple years ago. Now I'm just looking at him and if you have, if you hit an oppo tank off the Texas Rangers, apparently Chris Woodward's.

All around us hard to believe that. I'm standing standing more or less where I'm i might have been standing. When i sang at the old yankee stadium where i looked out on the capacity crowd. I mean god bless. America was powerful then but but people but people were in a frame of mind to listen. People are in the frame of mind to hear that into to rally behind that coal down knows a lot of people. Don't hear the song in the same way anymore now.

"That. I i like the narrative. You're constructing here that he's taking jabs at players who require load management was a subtle. It was just a subtle little very dirty dressed thing. I want to get on board with you. But i've heard him make that statement numerous times before that he lies in he. He lied to the trae. Sorry for he always does sort of humor is like lied to you. It's like ha. Yeah that's he said that he's anti pastored. He's used that line before in that. Its responsibility to to play every day like that was his job. Doing my job like yeah. That's of humble workman's workman's attitude which that is what is your still playing a sport for a living but yeah it is your job to play every day. And you did that for basically your entire career. You were injured towards the end but otherwise aside from a fluke injury in two thousand and three. You were on the field every day and that cannot be overlooked. That is the most over. The most underrated sports is game. Play games played if you are on the field and playing and making an impact for your team. That's huge especially now with what we've seen with players that don't get on the field every day. So i guess i mean you could also look at it as as being aggregated. But that's not what he was she wasn't i'm not talking about games. Total for your career but like we go look at his baseball reference log. A-rod who didn't get a mention which we shopping. From a mile. Away he mentioned bernie posada and and pet it in mariano. Obviously but no a-rod mentioned a. rod another player. Maybe we know why because the steroids but in the private his career one hundred fifty five games played hundred. Fifty eight games played sandwich eater. That's what i'm talking about. When you're in the prime of your career you play ninety seven percent of games that you're in like that's that's an immense value to your team. You know he he again. He did spend some time on the on the fans aspect of it. Which i definitely expected i thought it was going to get some more anecdotal stories From him he went what fourteen minutes. I think it was sixteen. We were we were. I mean you you you said ten minutes i because i had never heard talk that long. Okay when he closed out the original yankees the old yankee stadium. His speech was like thirty five seconds. And yes when he did his number then. They retired number two at yankee stadium. He talked for like half okay. I had never heard derek. Jeter talk that long so first of all the first three minutes we're just congratulating other people on their awards and then okay then he got into a part of and he spent. He spent five minutes five minutes thanking his family with some nice stories and stuff like that. It was like definitely heartwarming. And then he sort of talked about. I thought the stuff where he you know was was thinking he how now is responsibility to to his wife and his children and building a family and stuff like all. That stuff was great. Were you expecting more. You're expecting more baseball stories. Though i thought we thought we would get a couple of them that were that would be used as an anecdotal way to trip. Or elaine. Yeah to represent something to to use it as a backdrop for something there so the the one thing i thought was fantastic and very again classic derek. Jeter here doing things. Very very calculated. He was talking about his family but then he very specifically talked to his kids which were who were wrestling. The entire time which. I thought was hilarious. But he was talking to his kids knowing that it was for later knowing that he's talking to his kids when they're grown up and they'll actually appreciate this. He was saying particular things that were directed to his two daughters. That were absolutely for getting. I get goosebumps here chose because when you when you think about your children obviously now the two of us both have kids when you think about them grown up like that's a that's a very crazy thought but it's something that's you know. He was definitely the to his children as as if they were older knowing that they would look back and see this speech and hear him talking directly to them and i thought that was they kept possibly appreciate it. They of course not there. There was a little kids wrestling around. One of them was gouging. The other ones eyeballs out and ahmad rashad sitting back. There gone less like damn kids you know and i thought it was. I thought it was very cool. And but again like pretty classic derek jeeter in doing a lot of things you know calculated in a way that he knows will be impactful to a certain person or certain moment in a particular way and i thought that was that was definitely one of them but Yeah he a couple of the money quote of it. At least the money quote that people were taking was that i had one goal my career to win more than anyone else we did. What's your favorite aspect of that quote. Wonderful the same as mine. The we did part of it. So yeah i i i. Obviously he made a point to say we did but like other players. That would win as much as him would say. I had one goal in my career to more than anyone else. And i did but jeeter said we did. Because i maybe this is just my naievety and just love for derek jeter like i truly believe he thinks we one of course he does. Who's going to push back on that right now. Nobody nobody on these mics. I can tell you that. But but yeah of course like the reason why he got there. I think so. Much of the the the slander. That's directed towards derek jeter from from jackasses across the interwebs of space is when you look at him like he's not a specimen of an athlete. He's not like a prototypical. Like insanely athletic. Guy like he he had his. He had his flaws. He had his his You know obviously his his strong suit's but he did rely on the things that he did well and he did them very well. He didn't do everything well but he did the things that he did well and he relied on the guys around him. I think to put him in good situation. So i when you look at him as the type of player he was yes. He was very big moments but he also had to be in those moments to effectively during those clutch moments. He had a season's worth of postseason experience and he hit three above three hundred with over two hundred hits and all those runs scored like he. He came through against the toughest competition. You know i just did that. Podcast with jani june two. He's the blue jays guy and he was like after played for the milwaukee brewers like he wouldn't be a hall of famer and it's like i hate that argument because you could say that about anybody in sports who's won a lot. Oh tom brady played for the miami dolphins he wouldn't be a hall of famer or michael jordan played for the minnesota timberwolves like yes. You need to be surrounded by a great team in a great organization for great players to do great things like they do it on their own..

"old yankee stadium" Discussed on The Bronx Pinstripes Show - Yankees MLB Podcast
"Going to read a blurb of a blog that i wrote a bunch of years ago about the the dive so just entertain me hopefully can read out loud and not stumble over the words that i wrote july first. Two thousand four versus boston game went to extra innings tied at three in the top of the twelfth. The red sox threatened to take the lead. When trot nixon sent over third. That looked to be a two run single out of nowhere. Jeeter sprinted a pop up heading full speed for the camera well down the third baseline because he was sprinting. His momentum sent him diving over the camera. Well into the first row of the seats jeeter would later say that. He made his decision to dive into the first row of the seats because one he expected the fans to catch him and to he recalled injuring himself when he tumbled over the wall into the cement ground of the camera while in game. Five of the two thousand one aol. Ds versus oakland. Jeeter walked off the field with a bloody face but he preserved the lead and allowed the yankees to win on a john flaherty double in the thirteenth inning. So i saw the notes the you put in here. Some of the pessimists talking about did he actually need to dive into the stands on this plan. Yeah that's a common thing. People say yeah i understand. He absolutely did. And it wasn't so much that he dove to dive. Because i think what people think about this if they don't remember the player hadn't seen it every yankee fan that listens to the show. I guarantee five thousand times but if you remember that wall it was the camera. Well it's a much lower wall in that spot than it is in other areas it's a. It's like knee. Hodgson said it's under the right around the shin. It's a tripping hazard is what it is so if you're going in there you can't stop there's nothing to grab. There's there's a wall to hold onto if if you're if you're trying to stop yourself. There's nothing to stop no net. There's nets now there's no nets then there's literally nothing they're the only thing it's there is a shin hye tripping hazard it's basically it's not a wall it's just a thing that's in in your way so i'm glad he did that because you know we've seen bad bad injuries with legs before around around the sides of the by the stands and i think it was just momentum carried them in there i don't think he necessarily dove i think he just kind of took his momentum and with you know where it took him. Because i don't even think he could have gone in that camera. Well becau on the cement on that particular play because of the speed. He was running because he was full speed. Going it's going into that ball. And yes he caught it with outside the track. I think i think it was just outside the track and then it would have been a fair ball so it was fair territory. No yes affair ball. We really caught in fair territory. Okay i just watch this i did. It was so important because if if that was going to be a foul ball that trump nixon doesn't drive in two runs but he was going to drive in two runs on that card inflammatory for territory. But the old yankee stadium. There's there's nothing there. There's nothing in two and a half steps before he was in the stands after he caught it so he catches it in fair territory and takes two and a half running steps. And he's in the stands. There's no room there. So yes he had to dive and he like you said he chose to dive instead of fall because he was afraid of injuring himself like he did in the two thousand and one playoffs in the two thousand one playoffs against oakland. He wasn't running into the stands he was up against the stands and sort of just tumbled over and i believe he hurt his wrist elbow. Because on the On a later moment of jeter you can see. He has a cut on his on his elbow slash forearm area where he cut himself on the two thousand and one play so maybe that was in the back of his mind as he said. You watching it again. I'm watching it right now. it's on the line. It's it's it's right there either way. They're the ball is. It's so close to the stands when you when you when you catch the ball. There's there's no way you could stop. So whoever says that is purely looking at the distance and has they're considering their mental jeeter's assholes. Yeah it was going to be a terrible totally forgot that i was thinking it was right on the run on the line and watch all these ten minutes ago. I watched the. I actually was watching. This one watched all these videos with kemp who sit on my lap and teach them about the was and he. He made me rewind this like five times. Wanted to see it again. 'cause i gotta teach derek. Jeter is without thinking making him think that he's still plays with the yankees which is tall task but Now i just want to say real quick. This one is is one of those iconic jeeter moments right. it's it's july barrio. it's a regular season game. That doesn't mean as much as some of these other ones. And i think that's important context for why this is in there because why would a game in july have any bearing on on his top five point because this is what he does he just. He has no regard for other things but winning. And when you when you see the the things that he doesn't think about that like you said he thought about diving. I doubt he thought that honestly he just did it and it happened. He's thinking you who thinking in the middle of that play you're just reacting as you educate. You're like oh shit. I know getting close. There's only so many things you can do but if you look at that play again there's nothing you can do with the wall with the wall height like that another reason. I love this place so much because it forever ended the nomar versus g debate in this game. No more didn't play. He was sitting on the bench by his own. Will because of a sore achilles saying the red sox were try. They were struggling that season. Unfortunately we know about that season ends up but they were struggling in the middle of that summer and they were trying to catch the yankees in the division. No more sits out key game in july and then this is all this is all written after the fact but teammates were called no more begging to get in the game after he saw what jeeter did francona denied him to get into the game and then thirty days later no more was traded so they basically wanted to purge themselves of nomar because of the baby that he was and i think this forever ended the debate between jeeter. Not that there ever should've been a debate. But statistically nomar was a great player for i always put up great stats and if you just isolate like nine hundred ninety seven through two thousand and three maybe he did put a better stats than dirk. Koetter win baby. You got to win. And that's the thing like when they had all the when they're talking about other shortstops Who was the who is the mets ray. Rare donas was and he wanted the shirtless guys in the picture with jeeter donas. oh and then And there was a jeeter. A-rod or tony one other guy. Remote hand was not hanley. Ramirez the other ramirez from the marlins that was hanley ramirez that that no it wasn't hanley ramirez was a was way older. He's not that's not who you're thinking of. That's that's the player for the marlins. Yes you're thinking. It was aggravated edgar and jay. Thank you remember that but the.

"Was the idea they. It was San francisco wanted to build something and they didn't they didn't want to build a downtown First of all they had the deal with the dirt and they probably weren't gonna be able to use the dirt they built it downtown and the downtown business association knicks to the idea. They said it's Would take up too much. Parking creates too much traffic and they didn't wanna stadium near there even though that's where the current Giant stadium is and it has helped business immeasurably but they were not as a far-sighted that time yeah you wanted to describe for those who are not familiar with the geography of the bay area where this section of land is is located in proximity to that of the quote unquote city a north of it as well as within the bay area region because it's almost Having driven by it multiple times from sfo airport going into the city etc. It's almost looks like it's kind of tucked away in some respects behind sort of it's a separated by little mountain range there between that and the city itself. Yeah it's it's not near anything. It's kind of near brisbane. It's near an unincorporated area. there's a freeway that's It it was a naval. It was it was a naval shipyard and so a lot of black people moved in there and so it was kind of a ghetto Do which was you know. Nobody went there Because a lot of black people moved into African-americans moved into that area to work in the shipyards during and after world war two and so that was really before that it was nothing. And as i say it was just a Before it was a shipyard i think it was just a garbage dump. So there's absolutely nothing there. There was no social life. There's no restaurants no hotels airports not far away. it is south of san francisco. San francisco's actually a small city geographically. So in that respect everything's close If you're in downtown san francisco you can drive to it Without taking a freeway and stay pretty much staying along the waterfront Without too much traffic roughly Thirty minutes drive If you've ever seen ma- The third dirty harry which was Not magnum force The third dirty harry Shows the mayor of san francisco leaving the stadium and taking that route and he actually goes past a a drawbridge which is now left the dual bridge where the giants new ballpark is. And that's where the terrorists shoot up his car and capture him But you can also get there via a freeway You get off the freeway and then it's got this weird road that is One lane a one way on game day going to the game and one one lane going the other way after the game. I have no idea how the people who live there. negotiate this because it's goes through a neighborhood so you know if it's the wrong time of day you can't go east or west depending upon whether it's before the game or after the game but of course. Those days are over the stadium. Is there any more work. Well you hinted at the the whole sort of finding of this of this area to actually build in the first place you wanna. Maybe just a touch on the controversy. I guess because there was the whole deal was like it was part of like a grand jury investigation right in later years after in the late fifties right after they had. Yeah even the the prelude to to the giants actually or amidst the giants arrival. Yeah there was. There was an investigation. It was a big deal as far as local news was concerned involved mayor george. Christopher and charlie harney the developer and I think there were some indictments handed down and there were some guilty verdicts but I don't think anyone paid a particularly steep price but you know i think the sorry. It's surrounded though because i'm guessing it seemed like harney kind of got like a no look dealer or he didn't have to bid for it or kind of like a fed to complete. Yea because he i think he had a back door deal with the mayor of san francisco Who is either A business partner or silent business partner for getting kickbacks however it works you know I don't know much. I have written about it and read about it but i remember every detail of it but yeah it was. It was a scandal at the time. That's for sure what the ground was broken in fifty eight regardless of all this it must have been a very interesting dynamic with not only the team arriving in the city embracing the fact that major league baseball was. You know finally here but then also The the the the notion that a new stadium was essentially underway yet also may be distracted by this investigation and sort of the controversy. Rather it must have been quite the buzz and gave many of the sports writers Something to to really sink their teeth into for a couple of years while getting built yeah But then when it was finally built then you know then now you have an accomplishment and you know it's funny even though the stadium A lot of people made fun of it. At the time it was looked upon as a very new very Modern stadium People rave about it richard. Nixon said it was the best stadium in baseball Other than county stadium in milwaukee It was really the only new stadium that was built at that time. Two teams in baseball. Were still playing at wrigley field. The polo grounds re Fenway park old fenway park. Old yankee stadium. You know sportsman's park in st louis places like that You know connie mack stadium in philadelphia. That were relics or went back. Almost to the turn of the century Vince scali said it looked like a spaceship But the best description I think ever came from roger and gel who is a terrific baseball writer and he covered the nineteen sixty two world series for the new yorker..

"Given up ten runs were unearned. Oh i don't know maybe a lot of runs he's probably okay and really. If if the other team is like super super creature should've lost like fifty thousand enough right. Yeah i mean they get most of the damage in the first inning they get four runs and then basically like one. Run anything So that that's not too bad. The whole game yes. They're down to nothing. They score run on a bunt. And that's like the crowning moment gets slow motion very exciting. Yes it's really. This whole game is an ode to participation trophy like they're fast so like i. The guy is to fourth century millennials. Yeah it's true like the guy is not good enough to make the team. But they put him on it anyway and then rudy him yea rudy him but also like he like he doesn't make the team and the the chief is is like viewed as like evil guy for not cheap gene. The not the chief. O'brien the just got this. And cisco is like oh. My god like manager so mean. He doesn't like this guy. Is the worst player. Ever and why would he keep them and also like with only gonna play with eight players. I'm not so sure they didn't seem to have a up so i don't know what his planet but good point about this no other federation officers on deep space nine. They recruited to the team. Like it's like no this. He's the series regulars. This is it do they have to be. They'll have to be officers. Could we go to the lower deck's boy we'll know right because we like recruit lita who is just like us. Ip she's the one of rom the bar. Yeah and then they just like hey bar wench. Come here and beyond our baseball team was. She did do a fancy damn possessory thought. Oh the one that reads about it knows yeah. Yeah and they bring in like cisco's girlfriend too so it sure seems like they could have gone into layers hundreds of crew members on this station. They could've they could've put out the call a little bit. More terrible manager picked a bad team and then like they they they basically go on strike and silly puts the bad player back on the team and then they celebrate a ten one victory with like nears afterwards like they just won the world series. Like guys you got smoke. The other team is celebrating. You guys should be. You guys should be taking you. Infield practice for next game. Braxton to try and beat the next night yeah but they. They're mostly doing that. Upset salak has a really achieves intended effect thing. I don't understand. Why do they need a live umpire. Is there no umpires. Well this is a great question. Because i think that people are really calling for an akiva in minor league baseball that they have machines calling balls and strikes cisco seems like totally against this idea when i think oto suggests why not have just like the simulation like no. We need a real umpire calling the balls and striking radically. He's also the kicked out of the game but does that mean that baseball will not end up going with machine umpires at some point. That seems to be what. They're predicting. But i think i think in in this version of the universe i think we in like ten years there will be machine on parts probably It's interesting though. Because i think oto could've been an incredible acid. On the team concerned that he is a shape shifter like just shaped story brick wall and have the ball hit and he could catch it. just seems. nearly unstoppable. I'm he's gonna slide into home plate he can just turn into a liquid and go like right under the he shape shift into mike trout. Well he's not that good at shape shifting people His problem problems with the face again particular. That's why he sort of looks like yeah. He got a bunch of silly putty smeared over his face and can't get it off because he didn't get lessons because he was orphaned from his giant lake of friends he looks like the t. one thousand basically keeping he's actually slime and he sleeps in a bucket. Yeah oh really. People people are giant lake and he got separated from the lake so the rest of them are much better at shaped like live on the lake. Jeff they are like the early yes. This show is like really popular. Yeah well oklahoma reason they had oto was because it was nineteen ninety-three and they had just perfected that terminator two effective like the liquid turning into the person and they're like what else could we do with this. Let's put it in star track. That's the whole reason oto exists now. Are you guys like messing with me on some of this stuff. No not yet. No no not yet but some of the some of the stuff seems fake. No this is all real. Okay like the kardashian. I think they are legitimately name kardashians. Yeah okay yeah. I guess to even show more timely nature. They nicknamed him the cardi's sometimes okay so my other questions were like the message is the best thing to happen. Baseball's courage if you have courage you win every game yeah. I was just vamping. Their that was almost like a parody of like baseball speeches. In movies Yeah it was very happy very schmaltzy and also what the anthem today play. They like stanford national anthem. I'm going out now. There are a lot of humans there extensively from earth place. Some sort of you know. Also my big quibble not triple with this episode is that they like sweet. They could have been playing in the field of dreams. Park like old yankee stadium fenway park yup any classic baseball stadium and they're just like out in like Some like random randomly.

"Or what qualifies as cheap tickets for garrett cole versus shohei otani and we just dashed up there and we were sitting in the upper deck which i like though seats. I like sitting behind home plate in the highest tier. I don't like it as much as i did. At the old yankee stadium where the reserve section was much closer to the field. Now it has pushed back a bit as many modern ballparks are unfortunately but it still a good view of the whole landscape laid out below you and even the beach boys looks small from that hyper smaller at least and that was the highlight for me was in this game. You had joey gallo in left fresh off of his lindsay adler photo of him deniro face and the italian hand gestures which went viral. So he's left. Judge isn't right and then you have. Jonathan davis center. And i spoke recently about seeing brett gardner running in from the outfield flanked by gallo and challenging and looking like they were gonna start swinging him like a toddler between them in this case. Jonathan davis who is listed at five eight and that might be a baseball five eight. Not sure if that's a legitimate five eight. It's hard to tell next dude. The beef boys. But every time i would look up i would see this giant and left this giant and right and then a twelve year old. Who had somehow sneak the field in donde yankees for between those two guys. He looked so tiny thing and he made a great catch so good for him. But every time i would survey the field i'd be like who is that very small person out into the field at. It's not that he is so tidy. It's just that the others are so large like the lineup for that game which wasn't quite as as it could have been because some of the yankees were in are still on the i l. but even so you had like lemay hugh leading off who is not as wide as some of the other yankees but is quite tall and then you had judge and then he had gallo and then you had stanton and then you had void. There's probably like a step last in the biggest size differential between like half of a lineup. And the other half of a lineup. Because then you had. Metal door kawaguchi. Yoga. who is not tiny but his not huge. Then you had. Jonathan davis batting eighth andrew velasquez batting ninth. So it's like normal size. People who are small for major leaguers juxtaposed with the beef ius of before us and that was great fun. This is like when i watch the nba and like. Wow you know what steph curry that to all the see next door normal person. You're like yes. It's just won't pay likely larger and in this game. Shohei went over for now. He did hit a ball very hard. So hard that garrett cole thought it was gone and a lot of people thought it was gone he hit it one hundred nine miles per hour but at a forty five degree angle. So it's still got to the track and it had that sound but it did not leave the park so a hitless game fro tiny so now in the two games that i have seen him in person this year he has zero ups and a ninety five year. So are we sure. This guy's good. Because when i go see him not so great really happened to pick a couple of the worst possibles times to see otani and if i had gone to see him in the other couple of games. He played against the yankees. I would've seen him homer. But no i picked poorly. I mean this is the risk. This is the risk. Leo always run but at least you saw him hit the ball. Hard right like he was manifesting. Some of his underlying skills that make the big moments really saying you just didn't see them actualized but really most people don't think he's been incredible. I continue to think that he will be the ale. Mvp but like most people who have seen otani play in person. This year have not seen his best games casinos. Just so baseball works. So i'm glad you didn't get rained on. There's at least as much cooler than the last time end much drier and you did get to see joey gallo. Hit a big homerun. Just now i feel so happy for him whenever he does something like that because he has admitted to feeling and being made to feel insecure On a relative basis he thinks of himself as the brett gardner in this situation And so now my own good for you jolie next to jonathan davis has to help imagine a nice boone. That really does seem like he was just always faded to play for the case like joey gallo fitted so well. They're like it already. Seems like everyone loves him and he embraced his his identity at everything. And like you'd think with that name that he would be from this area like my wife was asking. Where's is he from the bronx or now. He's from nevada. Oh okay well. That doesn't make as much sense as you would think but still. It seems like he's found a home here and he said as much i think in a post game zoom where he was like always thought it would be nice to play here but now playing here and people are carrying like italian flags again. Rooting for minority helps. That he's hitting these monster home runs from time to time to but like between the combination of yankee stadium's dimensions and his name it just is like. Oh yeah he's yankee. of course. you would be a yankee this long. I think that it is just so sweet of you ban to not associate italians with nevada a we because we are. We are famous scoundrels in state of nevada..

"When to all star games were played. Which by the way is how Hank aaron and willie mays and guys like that can have twenty-five all star appearances and only so many and only twenty one seasons played in the big. That's how they did it. It was just two all star games. I figured i found out Shortly after i had recorded the hank aaron segment and i realized that it was such a minuscule detail that i didn't even think to re bring it back up. We're just we're going to skip ahead a little bit right here since we only got a few more minutes left in this episode. We're gonna go to two thousand eight. This one is remembered because it was a marathon in the bronx in two thousand eight. The american league in the national league played fifteen innings. Baseball's biggest stars. Sent off the old yankee stadium in probably the most memorable way. They could aside from a game. Seven world series. Walk off home. Run by derek. Jeter but they did a great job sending off the ground like the historic stadium that year and rangers slugger josh hamilton. Hit twenty eight home runs in the first round. Which by the way before before. Monday in colorado. That was the most in history. And what's even more mind. Boggling is that is that he did it in a place where everybody else was getting really tired and what i think is most impressive is that he hit more home runs in the first round and then still beat everybody else for the championship. Salvador perez tied. The twenty eight home runs this year. I mean granted. It's a completely different game because You only had ten outs. So you only had ten swings. That couldn't be home run so it was a lot shorter of process back in the day. As i'm sure a lot of you remember. But like i said hamilton. Let off the festivities with twenty eight home runs in the first round of the derby and then twinstar justin monroe of outlasted hamilton. Though to take derby crown.

He set a franchise record with 16 home runs in the month of June seven of them leading off game and he became the third player in major league history to hit 16 home runs over an 18 game. A span All Star show Otani. Two more long falls Friday and, according to ESPN stats, the two way stores the first player in American League history to reach 30 home runs and at least 10 stolen bases in the team's 1st 81 games. It's the 22nd time a player has reached 30 home runs by the 81 game Mark, which is officially half the season. The L Player of the month has 13 home runs in the past. 15 games. Speaking of runs the Mets up 583 as we move to the bottom half of the seventh back to singing, Dave, That's right, Jim. They also have 13 hits to the Yankees three today. As we bring you to the last half of the seventh inning. Short, just unbelievable. With those 16 home runs in the month of June, the Jim mentioned and they came in the last 19 games of the months. Among the many incredible stats and just so unfortunate about that hamstring injury, It's got to be mean hands down the best. Run of his career in terms of that much production in a short amount of time, and hopefully he's able to recover quickly and get back to reckon. Bottom seven. Gardner takes a strike Brett Gardner has flied out lined out over to today. Saying It's a significant hamstring injury, though, so that will probably take some time. But for the nationals who've been closing the gap on the New York Mets, that's a big blow offensively, one of the great June's of all time next one outside the ball one and one on Gardner. Number nine hitter, then you and then judge Yankees did not have a hit in the ball game until the sixth inning. Taiwan Walker went five and two thirds And had no hit until that 0.26 the pitch check slight in a strike and a boost to one and 21 gardener. That's eight. Yankees three last of the seventh in the Bronx, Okay. Over a shift around the right on the med infield and 12 from the right hander, and he tried to pile the inside corner, but he missed their two or two Try to run that back over the inside corner, and it stayed in the gutter. If you were lucky, bowling instead of it kind of coming back and getting those pens just stayed the gutter for Brett Gardner for ball very familiar with the term and doing it, finding it often. While boiling 22 swung on foul back, sad to say. Did you? Ever hit that old Yankee Stadium? Yeah, I mean, the previous the old the previous version. Yeah. So you're talking about the dirt around home plate here and inside the batter's box here, and particularly with the diamond dry they've been forced to use over the last couple of days. You see a lot of that how that might affect the hitter. You know under those feet is very interesting is swinging a foul here at home plate by Gardner. But remember talking to Nomar Garciaparra once about old Yankee Stadium, and he said it was the greatest feeling in the world because whatever they use for clay like Offer. You know a riverbank at Georgia or something. It was unbelievable How you could dig in and it never stayed that way from one hitter. The next you could move it all around manipulated. You didn't have these huge ditches inside that box to to swing in the line, right? Caught on the left side of the diamond. As Peraza, who is the only man they're the only man who could possibly make the play went racing to his right back, handed that out of the year. Look out in the dugout. Brett Gardner frustrated. He's been robbed a couple of times today. An intent on hitting the ball to the left side. Pilar's tracked down some balls, the outfield and right there. Paracha. Nice job, Quick, first step to get there. One man out. Top of the order in Libya, who as a hitting streak on the line today of 13 in a row Hitler so far and he'll look at the strike. He's grounded to the pitcher he's walked in. He has struck out looking 8 to 3 Mets in the seventh. They got three in the fifth inning and five more in the sixth pitch, a wave animus its own, too. Yes, that's with a lot of singles today. I have only one extra base hit up there out of the 13 hits Nobody on base for LeMay, you and the 02. Cut on and missed a high fastball to put him away to down. No, not looking quite like DJ lemak. You there He is a little more. Open if you will, with his approach, where his approaches Has been so tight, especially with two strikes just to be able to shorten up hit the ball to the right side, which has done so well throughout his career. The Yankee Star Aaron judge to climb in He ended the No hit bid by Walker with a home run here. The sixth pitch swung on a tap file back line have played on the ground on one Hitting 2 85 19 home runs now for Judge Mhm. He's hit safely in five straight games. He's in right field today. The old one check swing at home. Playing up our city went okay building, Cobra said It was a swing and a miss since on two Not an argument from Judge. A lot of times hitter will say, Hey, you've got to ask for help on that. Wake up Bruce down there first Base home run Did he hit in the sixth inning, the 138th of his career. 02 is down and away. That's the fourth most as a member of the Yankees among players drafted by the organization, trailing only Jorge Posada. Derek Jeter and Don Mattingly. Two down and one to on the way. Try to hold up and he did. They appeal the first base umpire. He said, No swinging a catcher McCann was halfway to the dugout. Yeah, alright. Aaron is going to have to make them pay here trying to walk off on me, but it looked like he went to me. Did it. Oh, wow, which is Sun overhead shot, folks and Yeah, happy to make contact that probably would have gone into left center field dropped in front of the outfit that one was not close to down and two to from the righty. And outside just a little bit low and three and two. The count that's supposed to be the makeup call right there. Right. Usually it is. You know, there was a time and you've been in this game a lot longer than I have, where the makeup call and guys didn't have a problem with it. They knew true enough three to Cut out of his, He struck him out pretty nasty breaking ball. To retire the side 123 inning for familiar and at the end of seven, it remains the Betsy the Yankees three This is Major league baseball on ESPN Radio and the ESPN APP..

Which is crap where they stole that from us. Yeah, Daft hands understand? Over there. Uh, I'm sorry to waste your 25 hours and 26 minutes from the bucks. Kickoff against the Packers SA lot going on. This is the A D d of radio shows that's for sure. So we got that going on. People are dropping dead left. And right. I know me hammering. Hank Aaron, who for me? One of my favorite baseball players growing up. I think my favorite is just like I had so many ideas you to say that I mean Stearman months. It was definitely my favorite. But then, also, Tom Seaver was also my favorite, as was Rusty stop, as was Bobby Mercer. As was Hank Aaron, as was clean on Jones and as Woz Willie Mays like Willie Mays, like everyone's goes, How do you root for the Mets and Yankees? I go real simple. I love Willie Mays. He got traded to the Mets The year I started following baseball. Willie Mays was like the only thing I knew he got traded to the Mets in the first game ever went to was a doubleheader. Old Yankee Stadium. Yankees won both games. I like both teams. It's okay shoot me for people say you can't Yes, I can. So but anyways, yes, I got Hank Aaron highlights. Hey, care, So I remember everybody was losing their mind because Hank Aaron was closing in on Babe Ruth's home run record. And a lot of the stuff is you If you ever see the Hank Aaron documentary of the Hate Mail, and for me as a kid, I could never understand Why that why would you hate someone for breaking records? Just great. It's a 78 years old thinking this Just like I just thought it was exciting, Like great. I just start following baseball as this is going on. This is fantastic, and everybody's gonna know it's terrible because he's black. I go. So what? He's a great baseball player. You're an idiot is seven years old. I'm calling people who are much only be idiots always get my butt kicked. It's just like the stuff that he went through and the hate mail and this security and if you ever see the footage of him when he broke the record, it was on my still remember washing like some old sister. It was Monday night baseball Al Downing pitching for the Dodgers thrown against Hank Aaron. He hits the home run, and as he circle a second base, two guys jump out of the stands and start running with him and you'll see in the highlights. And at first he thought that like literally because one it's in Atlanta, Georgia, of all things that you know, possibly three good, but then they were high fiving him. He was looking at him off and then goes into and scores and breaks the record and then goes on to hit. Another 40 home runs in his career into me, and my mind is great. And I think Barry bonds if he never did the roids, I think probably could have had a great career. But to me, that record is Taurus. I still I still in my mind. Think it's Hank Aaron. You could yell at me all you want her at me all you want, I'll talk to you have a debate. I don't think there was a lot of steroids and stuff going on in the sixties and seventies. I don't know. I just know that a very bonds went from being 6 £170 of 612 40 with a size of a boulder. But so a good player very discreetly, and he belongs in the Hall of Famer himself. Hoppy roll the Hank Aaron highlights. Well, This is his record breaking home run. I got it, okay..

"Masks. It's going to be weird. It's going to be weird. But if there's a baseball game happening in front of me and i can drink a beer. We they need one of those a mask with like a retract when straw goes in and then it seals when it comes out goes in and it seals when it comes out you could just never take the straw out you could just cut a little hole. Keep the strong tire time. Keep it all sealed. Seal thing yeah. I don't know. I don't know man i talking about that is just is off putting because it's i know it's a long shot but i so badly wanted to happen. I mean i'm. I'm gonna put it on record right now. I give away of the seasons. Gotta be yankees face masks right. Probably i mean. I assume that they're going to give everybody one when they come in any way. Yeah i if that's a giveaway. That's some bullshit. The polite way of saying please wear mask. Well yeah this could be mandated. I'm sure it's not going to be. It's not going to be much of that. Is something that will be the no loitering policing of from the ushers went away in the new stadium and the new reconstruction of the stadium in the outfield. Everybody lawyers now. It's just like what you do. You don't sit in your seat for more than ten minutes. Whereas in the old yankee stadium you couldn't you would get moved along very quickly so this this will be the new policing mask mask on. Imagine no things you can get away with now also be interesting because obviously spring training happens in arizona and florida and the those states are a lot more lax than some of the states in north so the yankees could have fans in the stands at spring training and then no fans in the stands at opening day in new york. Yeah yeah assuming they open things up for. I think that might be a not even just a florida rule though that's going to be. Mlb's probably going to be talking about the fans in the stands in florida as well if they get to that by spring training. Like that's a yeah that's soon so it's it's a month. Yeah it's an away before. I know this because that's when the baby's due throwing around when pitchers and catchers report. So yeah it's going to be here before we know it right so i i have a difficult time for them making these mandates and not having mobile involved with with what's happening in spring training. Well we'll yasuo puig beyond on the field for the yankees because the annual yasuo peak to the yankees rumor has been Released mark san yesup is drawing interest for multiple teams red sox yankees astros marlins and orioles appear to have varying levels of interest. I feel like every year for the past three years. The yankees have been linked to yasser. Whether it's a tweet whether it's an article whether it's actually serious they might sign him whatever. He didn't play last year because remember atlanta signed him and then got like a day after they signed him so he had to basically bow out of the two thousand twenty season. I want to end this right now. I want no part of yasser on the yankees and it has nothing to do with his his his boisterous nece or his his flair or anything. Like that like that part of it. Yeah he's just not that good of a player for what the yankees you rocket arm. Great do you need a rocket. Arman redfield he is an average to below average defender. According to statcast he's got good exit. Velocity which is good but he doesn't walk a lot. He strikes out a decent amount. He's eight percent walk rate. Twenty one percent k rate. He's an average player. He doesn't suck. He's not great. He had a very quick rise with the dodgers. Back in two thousand fifteen two thousand and fourteen to it was like a long time ago. Historians nuts crazy historic getting into into the country the the kidnappings a wild story so but think about it from what the yankees need on the field and twenty twenty one. They don't need seo. They need a guy first of all. He's not a good defender he. He's a rightfielder. Has he been playing in different. Outfield positions single teams. Well i know once he got to cleveland. I believe he was stuck in right field. But i think he was fly floating around the dodgers towards the end of his. Tom and he wasn't good rightfielder. Floating around doesn't doesn't make you much of a better team. And the yankees. Don't need another another outfielder. That's you know of the same proto tight. Basically that that you're like stanton stanton strikes out. There's more production. Obviously a hell of a lot more production on. But he's just he. He's a problem when you're looking at the fit. So he plays right. Field stanton could play right field or left field. I guess but at the end of the day where would value. It's at the plate and there's no room for that. There's this he's not flexible. It doesn't fit at all. it doesn't find. Would you rather get four hundred plate appearances and twenty twenty one which is like a playing sixty percent of the time. Week or clint frazier. It's not even close right starting field. They should be. But i but even if he is the starting left fielder. I still expect the yankees. Bring back brett gardner and have him play a decent amount and there to be some sort of rotation. There's going to be injury. So i say four hundred plate appearances as as like a a ballpark yet. I mean there's no reason for. I think this is more of the fact that tweaks agent is now trevor. Bauer is agent. And we're going to put the yankees in every single conversation because that's good for us business. Yep and so. I don't expect the yankees to sign yasser peak but i can't wait next holding see now. Is he thirty three thirty. I mean he's anywhere from thirty three to one hundred seven. But i mean he's not he's not a young guy either and he's he's already pretty much it is pekan and he has learned. He was born december seventh nineteen nineties. So he is thirty eight younger thought. Yeah and pull up his baseball reference page right now because i want to check when he did actually have that he started with the dodgers in two thousand thirteen and he finished second in rookie of the year. Voting fifteenth and mvp voting. He had a one fifty nine. Oh ps plus in his first season awesome probably actually should have won the rookie of the year. I'm going to look up. Who won the rookie of the year and the year and then two thousand fourteen. He played a full season. He got six hundred forty plate. Appearances finished nineteenth and mvp voting yet. Another great season hundred. Forty five opiates plus. And it's really kind of been downhill since then. He's had some good years. He's that some average years when you add up his two thousand nineteen he had a one. Oh nine oh. Ps plus that's nothing to sneeze at but but not a fit for the team at this point the way that the yankees have to construct this team. They have to do it. Smart in a way that's going to complement the players and the existing assets..
