So he goes, he does his thing. And I knew he was in good hands. That's why I left him because I knew he was going to be with you and Peter. Loves you guys. So I wasn't like leaving him hanging. So he gets there. And then he shows me your seats. Seats like they were okay. They were average, you know, not the best seats in the world, not the worst seats in the world, but you're at the Yankees playoff game. And I said, you know what? He's gonna catch three innings.

"As far as dealing with racism and being a champion. He became the first African American coach in any sport. Well, right? I mean, for two years, he was a player coach. John mccloud was actually hired by of all people, George Steinbrenner, in the American basketball league in 1961. John mccloud coached a treatment papers, and he ill fated AVL formed by apes sacristy, and a guy to hired him for the Cleveland pipers was George Steinbrenner. So Don MacLeod was the first, but that was a league that lasted a year and a half. And it was a challenge to the NBA that failed. But Russell became the first existing prominent major sports league black coach NFL, Major League Baseball. And I want to make sure that we set the record straight for John mccloud. Pioneer basketball history. And give George Steinbrenner credit, frankly, one of the, but when red tired Russ, it was the first time one of the major sports leagues. Right. Of any kind had hired a black person. And I didn't even hesitate. You know, it was a very obvious thing and a logical thing. And Russ and the first year out they don't win. And then they went to and Russ was the coach. I mean, it wasn't like red was pulling the strings. Trust me on that. No, no, no, no, no. It was Russell street and Russell Rea neck right next to you. Did he have to coach that? I mean, obviously you had a presence, but they had been together and it was sort of a Celtic way. Yeah, good veteran team.

"I'm going to play just sign me and then he went out and hit 49 homers and won the MVP for the cops. Now, if your house 9 runner, the owner of the Yankees on one hand, you're excited about the team is playing and you get a lot of interest, a lot of eyeballs in this team. It's a fun team to watch. And in the distance though, Tim, I see these storm clouds gathering for Hal Steinbrenner because this is developing into an unbelievable litmus test that now has a different context that Steve because Steve Cohen owns the mets, right? We're going to get to free agency in the fall because Aaron judge having turned down that Yankees offer. It's not like he's going to in mid season say, hey, can we talk again and he'll reach free agency and we continues to play this well. He's going to get an offers of over $300 million, and if your Steinbrenner after what Steve Cohen's done with the mets, man there's going to be some special and new type of pressure on him. Right. I don't think there's any doubt any time of course when the mets and Yankees are competing for anything New York postseason, whatever it is, but when you're talking about a premier player like this, this would open up a whole new word to free agency. If Steve Cohen would get involved for Aaron judge after the season, which you're right, you know he would have to look at that and then it would be up to the anxious to say we're not letting this guy go, period and we can't let him go across town. And Tim, I think there would be pressure, even if the mets don't get involved, like Steve Cohen might say, look, we got to pay other people. We're not going to focus on him, but he's, you know, he now, what Colin has done for the mets is a little bit like when George Steinbrenner owned the Yankees where, you know what? We're going to go after the best player. And that now becomes the standard in New York. And so even if the mets don't go after them, say it's the Giants that do with the Dodgers or some other big market team, there's going to be pressure on Steinbrenner because of what Cohen's done with the meds. Fascinating scenario and I can wait till the off season believe me buster, but that will be one of the great stories of next off season. All right, what'd you think of what Brian cashman said in response to Astra's owner Jim crane? Well, I'm not surprised that Brian cashman said what he said and the way he said it because at least according to the proof.
THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas
"steinbrenner" Discussed on THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas
"Buys of all time. Nobody ever talks about that, but I just want to mention that because I remember when George Steinbrenner bought the ages from CBS, for $10 million. Again, if my memory is right, if I'm off a little bit, I'm off a little bit. $10 million. One of the greatest buys of all time, it's worth, well, who knows what the Yankees are worth, but it's worth bands. And then yeah, Jerry Jones commented by the Dallas Cowboys. Again, I don't know. Yeah, Trump changed. Trump changed. I know, and I'm not being disrespectful to people. That's a lot of money. I get it. But Trump changed compared to what it's worth now, which is billions of dollars. Who knows what the town's cowboys? I look, it's the most expensive NFL franchise. I look at you. I put you in that group. Right up there with that purchase of that island called Manhattan. That was a pretty goodbye too. Some years ago. When they bought the Manhattan island there, which is now in New York called New York City. That was pretty good. I think that was about $24. That might have been the best of all time. As far as getting value for your dollar. But do you ever think about that? I guess you and the potatoes when you're together, you must sometimes say, wow, we did pretty freaking good. $2 million to finish. Yeah, we definitely do. And you're right. You get on, teddy. I mean, Steinbrenner bought the Yankees for $8.7 million. There it is. 8.7 million. And you know, God knows what that team would go for today anywhere between three and 5 billion. Right? Yeah. And Jerry Jones, same thing. I think he bought it for like $6.92 million. They're the most, you know, the most expensive NFL franchise on the planet right now. So yeah, I mean, we're up there with some of those great. Sports business stories and it's obviously awesome. Can I tell you a funny story, a little story? It was obviously, I don't think you're aware of it. And why would you be? It didn't turn out to be anything important. Nobody listened to my advice. So I'm not afraid to say that. But when I was probably somewhere around 20 years ago, and I was working at ESPN fights, quantified. We would do some fights in Vegas, obviously. Does station casinos, which was owned by your partners? The data brothers. And I got a call. And I think it was Lorenzo. I'm not a 100%. Definitely. Yeah. And I got a call, Dana. I get a phone call. Hey, this is Lorenzo potato. And I didn't know who he was. Quite frankly. He says, I'm involved with the UFC. Have you seen it? And I had seen a little bit of it with the crisis. And he said, I would like some view up to it, teddy. I would like you to give me some suggestions, how you think we could make this point a little more entertaining. Fan friendly. I actually wrote them down in facts to them. That was the one thing I could do. In fact, I got rid of a flip phone about two years ago. And I still do facts. Once a while doing a broadcast doing a podcast for my house, the fax machine to go off. And people actually because I don't go on the Internet. So my son is saying that people are like, teddy's really old school, a freaking fax machine went off in the middle of his podcast. So he said, can you put a list together of some of your suggestions? So I did. In fact, it overturned. I remember one of them. I don't remember the others. One was to have a shot clock. That was my brilliant idea. Like the NBA. That was shot clock where the fighters would be forced within that time zone of the shot clock to stand, not go to the floor, stand and strike 12 punches. And because I thought that I just thought that the stuff on the floor back then I just wasn't as developed as educated as smart as patient as I hopefully am now. And I thought the stuff on the floor as great as the graces were, was could be boring. So I said, you got to have a shot clock. Well, I look for that shot clock for a couple of years, and I gave up. I never saw the shot clock. But I just wanted to tell you, I just wanted to share that story with you. I'm sure that I'm glad you guys did okay without my advice. I guess that's what I'm trying to say. But that's the type of person Lorenzo is, you know, Lorenzo wants to hear all these people's opinions, you know, you know, people that he respects. So we obviously both have a lot of respect for you. Well, I appreciate that. I appreciate it very much. My last question will be this one. When you obviously there was a lot of important decisions you had to make early on. To me, I don't know if it was directly you, but obviously it comes under your realm. What are the very important decisions was when you decide to brilliant, because you had to have credibility, you had that authority, you had to have somebody in charge you had to have a connection to civilization quite frankly. Because a lot of people thought the sport was too barbaric. And you had to have rules. And I thought your decision Dana at the time of the UFC's decision by figure was, again, I figured would fall under you..

"Plus an option year in 2025, he made the radio round yesterday. He was on the keyshawn Jay willen max and asked the question when he knew he would be back. I didn't feel like I was in limbo. You know, I knew towards the end of the season my conversations with Brian cashman that he certainly wanted to be back and I knew I wanted to be back. But there were things that organizationally you got to go through and had a really good conversation with Hal Steinbrenner last Monday and then were he informed me that they did want me back and I felt like I heard what I wanted to hear in that conversation that allowed my agent and Brian to then kind of work out a deal. So I don't think I ever felt Limbaugh. I never felt like it was a certainty that I was coming back, but was optimistic that we would be able to work something out. He was asked what the Yankees need to do to get over the top. We're always searching for a more perfect team or a better team where it's hard to get it all. In a perfect world, you'd have this team that has a high contact rate that hits the ball out of the ballpark that gets on base, that's athletic that plays great defense that pitches like so you're always working towards that. You know, it's hard to get that perfect team. So I think on the offensive side, people obviously talk about our power and our strikeouts. But this year was an up and down struggle for us offensively. And I would say the biggest thing that hurt us was because especially because we're not a very fast team either as we put the ball on the ground a lot and the double play ball was something that really hurt us. I think more so than just people talk about the strikeout. It was us putting the ball on the ground and really ended a lot of rallies with double play balls. And that really hurt us this year. Something that hopefully we can improve on next year. Bleacher.

"Ilk wants a one percent you know. Maybe that can be arranged. I don't know he does have a small percent with oakland as it is now. I do think the as will give permission. We don't know yet if they have already done that they may. Well have and you know people around baseball. Billy being may actually do this. It's hard to believe in a way is fifty years old. He does have two teenage daughters not intimate with the situation. I don't know exactly. What is how old. They are acting like that but they are in high school so You know it's a big step to move across the country. And i do think they're not gonna let him pull the. Jp ricciardi is good friend. Who the red sox. Gm from worcester Some of it or whitey herzog from saint louis with the angels for a while this big job in new york you my understanding. They're not gonna let somebody operate the teen. Kim twenty five hundred miles away. So he's got a big decision on his hands and he is clearly the guy that they're focused on. If they can get him they will be happy. New york will be happy. No guarantee could go either way at this point the other candidate. The top list is david. Stearns with milwaukee is done a very nice job. He did work for the mets omar. Minaya hired him ever good higher obviously but he didn't even better higher for the brewers and the brewers wanted to hang onto them. They've that clear. Mark nausea does not want him. Going anywhere is a little bit of an interesting situations. Got one year to go if he's not extended he says i'm not you know i'm gonna let me wait and see You know maybe that gives the medicine opportunity to wait a year. i can. They go another year without a top baseball guy. You know. obviously sandy was the guy this year. He didn't wanna do it one year two years. Probably not you know but you know. I am not going to rule that out as a possibility if they don't get any of their if they don't get billy bean. They might wait for a year. David stearns after that you hear judge burns's name he's part of the dodgers a team. That's such a great job or potentially christianity with the indians who've been in charge there then a very nice job in a smaller market. So they are. Potential candidates is really being not to take it and they don't wanna wait for david stearns beyond that. I'm not sure possible that sandy does it for another year. Rule anything out at this point. So and i want to cover on the other side of town while we're still talking about managers general managers. Aaron boone is right now waiting to see what the yankees decide. My understanding is that. How steinbrenner the managing partner will make that decision. He's obviously been very very stable guy. he loves stability. And you know. Brian cashman will make a recommendation. I believe will be a strong one for aaron boone who has a six so one lifetime. Winning percentage which is fifth best at of hundreds of managers who managed at least foreign fifty games. I saw on wikipedia fifth best. He's behind dave roberts. And he's behind. Joe mccarthy and to other gentlemen and you know he's done a terrific job in the regular season the yankees obviously of not won the ultimate prize in his tenure to this point but You know i think cashman will. I know cashman will recommend that he stay and it will be up to hal steinbrenner and you know it may not come quickly i said may so nobody jumped on me if they decide tomorrow or the next day but You know hell is a guy likes to think about things. And maybe they'll see however all the other situations shake out before they decide also and so. i do. Think that aaron boone. The likelihood is that he will come back no guarantee but again it will be how steinbrenner's decision i believe john. Let's move into some of the players. We know what the three agent market is gonna look like but some of the big shortstops hitting the market but there a few guys that have opt-outs debt or notable. Talk about some of those guys in what you think may happen with them. Certainly custody janos. That's a big one with the reds and ease. Basically said no comment about his opt out. He's got two years in thirty four million to go any at a terrific season at a p s around nine fifty was top. Ten in the league This year in the e will opt out. There's no doubt about that and We'll play the market. I've heard that the reds would be interested in bringing him back not surprised there but they're small market you know you wonder if they're going to pay the freight They did bring him in. The first place obviously signed joey. Votto that huge deal. It looks better than it did a year ago. Say that but cincinnati's got some budgetary constraints so no guarantee that they're able to keep him Also in the region garcia earned. It opt out by hitting the plate. Appearance number of one thousand fifty that counts last year's prorated in so he has the option of taking the twelve million dollars or or opting out and I'm sure at this point. Eleven confirmed this that he will opt out and hope for a multi year deal could be with. Milwaukee could be elsewhere but obviously excellent season there. batting in the middle of that order in helping that small market team Into the playoffs You know. I don't think they wanna lose any more often. Grew offense has been real quick. Real quick john doe so it was garcia. You said He reached his over a thousand player of parents Market in order to get that often. That's over two years. I'm assuming correct. Yeah okay yes yes over two years and that could last year's Was he played almost every day. Pro rated they multiplied by point seven. Not a mathematician. So i can't tell you the exact figure but prorated anyone over one thousand fifty so he can opt out instead of taking the twelve million for next year. And i'm fairly certain any will another one on the last one. I'm gonna go over. Its jd martinez. He's got a one year. Nineteen point three seven five million obviously a big offensive performance. One reason that i think he will consider. This is because i think we're looking at the likelihood of universal d. h. That is d. h. In both leagues. That's the one thing it seems like both sides are able and willing to agree on is. Let's have the d. h. for both leagues Not everybody can hit. Like max freed are too many enters anymore among the pitchers and they feel. It's a better for the health of the pitchers to keep him out of the batter's box so universal d. h. Gives him something to think about that. One i can go either way though i. I'm not sure that he doubts. Coin seven five million is quite a good salary for loosely d. h. at this point does can play the outfield though so that market is going to grow if all the other teams are Now having dha so It'll be entry interesting to see. Can't get there until we finish does playoff run. We'll keep you update..

"That's great city. Use the extra money what got spoiled by ninety late nine. Earthen two thousand merle. That's exactly what it is. Because that's what i was gonna say. Most inky spreads now were fans when they were dominant. When there was no one was gonna touch and now. They're not that team anymore. Haven't been several years trying to get back to it. But with george steinbrenner without 'em in control you're not gonna get that i'm team and he he may still be the owner but he doesn't run it like used to out at yeah. He passed family though right. It's a family still running the families team. Yeah it's big state. It's not the yankees that steinbrenner manufactured into the biggest best. Most expensive or team. There was yes not that anymore. Now what a lot of people don't remember that those teams were full alike mercer news from other tea's like roses and the owner lay real invented. Making people will say that it was basketball and baseball or football. That started like making the super team. No baseball in the yankees and steinbrenner invented that report. Where even at bane. He was building cheaper teams back in the early nineties. You see the reason why people don't connect it to steinbrenner in the same thing is because it's the players building instead of the owners. The owners can build super team. Everybody's fine with it but the second the players are like no we want decide. Because it's who you wanna play with since the ones carry that focus in that way the nba players just took it from the owners to themselves. That's what they get. Rob was one of the talk about k. If you could go ahead and put the parental advisory warning up because this is gonna be alert going the owner of the diamondbacks. Ken hendricks this wrinkly asked nut sack four zone attorney general after dive the lost the diamondbacks took the record for consecutive losses losses in mlb. History tweeted out that if kendrick wasn't going to make the steps make the changes necessary to bring the team to being a competitor. Then you need to sell the team for the benefit offense okay. This is a former ex attorney. General for the state of arizona currently works four hours or and at that point worked for a law firm. That also happens you have. The diamondbacks is one of their clients. For general counsel. Ken kendrick sent him an email telling him that it was out of line for him to say and that if you know that he wasn't going to like it when they see each other in person next first off issued seventy six his old ask probably can't even move fast enough to make punch with your contact with the punches. It actually affects that clear. I second the diamondbacks in be so he he joined the team in its inception in ninety five has been part owner at least since then took over general owners in two thousand and four k. They have had to national division. Titles that that went past. You know it's actually went to the end the they they've won the west by tom's not since two thousand eleven They've only had two times. They actually went to the s. And the one one world series currently right que. They have an absolutely abysmal record. They started a young may i. You're fifty and thirteen. They're now at at first time game. Zero thirty one in thirty and seventy home. He's right to get criticized yet. And if you're gonna have known as a business owner getting called out on twitter sell the company. Go get a bakery shop. Because you're not you're not the public doesn't want that as an owner especially in the public singer dot. Guess what you're gonna take some flack robert kraft's take slack. He also gives him jobs. But that doesn't count this cool. Everybody's i forgive it but can doesn't doesn't have doesn't seem to understand that the culture of tea and starts from the owner and works. Its way down the hud family and what they do in kansas city and the chiefs is a prime example of how you build a culture in. Yep and what's what. Ken hendricks is is doing with this. Because it's been found out public that he sent this email now all of a sudden. Also this guy tweet if it doesn't work at that offer many more they're saying if not related but it's it's very clear it's very clearly what happened and so you have this nut sack that thinks because he's a business owner. The owner of the diner bax worst team in baseball the worst team in baseball tracking to the worst team in baseball history after jut one that record literally four years ago when they took a hundred law season the diamondbacks may maybe pass one hundred losses before they get out of august.

I don't care if you can play there defensively. You're playing everyday in left field ad book. They said i'd move. Luke floyd to d. h. I'd moved lemay huda i. i'd take. Tourism moved him to second. I'd take time away. Who has since been sent to the minor leagues put immature. Stop or trade for shortstop. That's what he would do with the everyday lineup to try to shake things up because adm enormous shakeup is necessary. otherwise they're they're simply not gonna make claps period and that five hundred streak buster the The reason we bring that up is that is the second longest streak in major league history of consecutive years. Five hundred or better the other one of course is the yankees which is way longer than this one and the next longest is by the orioles like seventeen years in a row. That's why it's important that we look at this because the the yankees have a street going now. That's only been topped in major league history by the great yankee teams of the thirty forty fifty sixty. That's what we're talking about here. I wish i had known that. Statistic when i wrote the column that posted this and his band dot com about About the decision coming up our house steinbrenner especially with the yankees in sync into the abyss. And don't make the playoffs in their struggles. Continue by the way according to bankruptcy yankees chances to make laps. You're still okay. Thirty eight point. Two percents net. Not something that. They're not capable of overcoming. So what i wrote him. Was that at the end of this year. How steinbrenner in a people of asked about aaron boone. And i've been saying that that's not the pertinent question. The pertinent question is what how steinbrenner feels about brian. Cashman and i imagined him as it wrote the column sitting down at the kitchen table with a legal pad in drawing a line down the middle of it and doing the pros and cons on the cons that without a doubt the fact that in the in the last four years when it looked like it was going to be the window for this team to win a championship. It hasn't happened the yankees now. I haven't won the world series. Who twelve years. Which in yankee years like you know. Eighty five for a small market franchise so longtime since they last won a world series and on the list of cons I i mentioned that you can reasonably make arguments that coming into this year. The yankees running out basically same group of players. Last they had the last four years could have expected success. The last four years tim. They've led the majors in runs scored. So not only have they underperformed based on the standard last for years but they have badly underperformed like they're in the bottom ten is supposed to be in say like seventh rate and they'd be in a much better position with that Cashman is also someone who house steinbrenner knows. Well any trust any knows that when ryan makes decisions he's got the interest of the yankees at heart. Which is the reason. Why george steinbrenner trust jean-michel. Because he knew that it wasn't going to be political it was gonna be what's best for the yankees today on. Here's the other factor to timothy in the back of your mind on. How steinbrenner if the end of this year you decided. Let brian cashman go. He's got a year left on his contract. You'd have to pay him six million dollars for next year to go watch his son play bass all in his last year of high school but also if they let brian cashman go tim he's going to have a job within point two seconds like he's really but regarded in the store and i the more that i thought about it and i actually didn't write this in the piece. I think there's an easy decision for hal at the end of the year which is to say you know what. I'm going to give brian another year. And we're gonna give aaron boone another year at the end of two thousand twenty two if we still the same problems and they try to remake an doesn't happen than moving on i think that's an easy default position for have what are you and i think he'll take default. Because i'm with hal steinbrenner on this. It's he put it all on the players the other day and it should be all on the players. Buster are you can argue. This team is not well constructed. Too many swing and miss guys. I get it but then what happened four years ago and last year and in the last four years just like you said it's been a devastating offensive team that has taken an enormous drop this year. So who else to blame but the players for just not performing. And that's why. I think aaron boone will get another year. I think i think brian cashman will get another year. And i think they should and then if it doesn't work you're right..

"Look at the Yankees right now, and I see a team that tends to trip over itself. In a lot of trouble. They have the ninth best record in the American League. Right now. They have been the single greatest disappointment in professional sports. Yeah. Hey, Oh, what a weekend. You have Mets, Yankees or Subway Series action, which you know, used to be a novelty. It's kind of worn off and they play each other. It still is an event. No doubt about it. But you know you're so used to that this on the on a yearly basis. I don't think people really get excited about it, of course, unless one of the teams is in a complete tailspin. Welcome to the Bronx. Sanjay will Zubin. Presented by Progressive Insurance August Join us on the Goodyear Hotline. Allan Hi Monica McNutt in for the guys, Monica. Over the weekend. You had first going into the weekend against the Mets in the subway Series. You had The Yankees sort of have reached that point where we've just heard After each I guess milestone of the season it becomes Something's wrong. Got to get it right. Right enough Talents. Teams shouldn't be as bad as they are. I mean, they're basically a mediocre team on the treadmill of obscurity right now at 42 41 only saved by the fact that they were able to split a doubleheader, winning the game on ESPN last night. After Mean an awful first game there where you have the lead. And or all the Chapmans on the mountain seventh inning, and they gave up six runs. The Mets have never scored six runs in a single inning. Is the Yankees ever and they do that in this game is Chapman was awful. And they lose again, and it just reaches that point of just frustration. Understand how that happens. After Not just Brian Cashman. The GM speaks Erin bonus, spoke at nauseum. Aaron Judge, the kind of leader of the team had a players only meeting to air out things. And then the owner, Hal Steinbrenner spoke And this is what really caught my attention. Hal Steinbrenner. Didn't mince words. And that's a Steinberger thing. Of course you get to the point. When putting the blame on the Yankees issues this season. Take a listen to this. Make no mistake about my opinion, the majority of the responsibility whether it's the responsibility of inconsistent offense or bad baserunning, etcetera. That responsibility lies with the players. They're the ones on the field right there, a group of very talented professional athletes that are playing this game at the highest level in the world. They need to fix this problem. They need to fix the problem because everyone, including our fan base, rightfully so has had enough. Quite frankly, it's an Now after this is when they had meltdowns over the weekend against the medicine still looked like that team that everybody's had enough. Well, apparently not because you're getting more of the same. One of the other things that Steinbrenner did say and those who followed baseball for a long time, especially people in New York. Understand that when you hear stunned Brenner and the Yankees, not playing up the potential, you know what comes next. Somebody's getting fired. Normally, That was the thing that was the history the Billy Martin coming back every every two years to take over for whoever couldn't get it done. Um, you know Yogi Berra getting fired, getting so mad that he just refused to come back to the franchise because he felt like he was scapegoated just the different manager decisions that were made at a frustration until they got to the nineties until they got to a guy Joe Tory who people thought that was the wrong guy for the job. He ended up being the perfect guy for the job, and he held it for a long time. And then from there The easy transition to Joe Girardi, who seemed also like the right fit and then Moving on from Girardi. That's where things change in my opinion for this franchise. Now, when asked about making you know you heard him say, it's the players. I put this on the players. You guys are good enough to perform. You're not performing, but sometimes when the players aren't performing Then you start wondering. Why is it strategy? Is it something going on with our organization? Because when you have this much talent, and you're getting nothing out of your talent Eventually it's not about the talent. It's about how you're managing the talent. So whether it's supposed to be Aaron Boone's fault. Whether it's supposed to be Brian Cashman's fault. It's someone's fault as we're at the halfway point of the season. So, he said. That firing in person firing in season was something that his dad did, He said. Quote. Certainly did that a lot. What people forget is a lot of the times it didn't work end quote, but I got to tell you that The opposite extreme of doing nothing. Of fiddling while Rome burns that doesn't work either. Traditionally takes you so far. The Tampa Bay Rays kind of said it openly. In fact, they didn't kind of said it, Monica. He said it. We're not intimidated by them. Yeah, Yeah, we know we could beat them. In fact, we know where in their heads. Yeah. The Rays are like the low budget franchise that just wins and mocks you for it because you're the high payroll team so Mean, as we've reached that point now with the Yankee thing, that a lot of guys like me who grew up with it in the nineties and just loved that it came back The Yankee mystique, the aura, the pinstripe, just pride and all that stuff. It's gone. In fact, I think it's gotten stale. They have this stubborn approach that is more than just the manager. It's the GM, and that's Brian. Cash has been there for two decades, and they follow a very Very deliberate, analytical approach. That once you reach a point of like this season, you realize it ain't working guys and the game is changing and everybody else is changing and you're not. So not only are you as a team getting stale Or about your franchise, which which always the Yankees are considered. They are up there as to me, one of the premier franchises that's the logo in sports. Universally that you consider greatness. It's stale. In my opinion, that's the problem with the Yankees. You can talk about whether they have a pitching issue whether they don't have the right second basement whether their shortstop should be playing second, whether they don't have a center fielder. Whether the catching is Gary Sanchez as he care enough to be a regular catcher. Is he good enough to be a catcher Gerrit Cole, and you take away You know Spider Tech and now he can't throw anymore. He can't get out of the three innings. Are all this Chapman is overpaid now for what he does as a closer you can point to all that stuff. They're stale..

"Let's go what's up everybody. Welcome to the bronx pinstripe. Show friday fives somehow. Even though the yankees did win a game this week it was worse than the previous week. That i david today could have been better. They didn't have a game. So i feel like it was the best day of all. It wasn't it wasn't like top of mind. I'm not just like fuming anger at this point although after the ninety-seven brain delays last night. Whatever i flipped it back onto like. Are they playing and yes. They sure they sure shit. We're still playing. So i was up late. I'm like fine fine. I will watch the rest of this game. it was. It was the eighth inning. I think that find out. Watch the rest of this game boy. Am i glad. I watched it. Are you at least. At least. I'm at least i was able to witness the debare the absolute meltdown of meltdowns. We'll talk. what a dumpster fire. What a fucking dumpster fire for. Like i'm numb. I'm numb at this point on alleged that you see that grow out you're like yes of course that's going to go out and they're definitely going to win this game because they're definitely score a few more runs which they did and of course the yankees went down with a a a a cool breeze. No problem saw that coming billion miles away but yeah you know i'm numb to it at this point and i'm just like you know. Maybe maybe they can break me out of this numbness but it's going to have to take a lot. It's gonna to stick a lot of sustained success in the regular season which you know who knows if that even can be possible at this point but for the game partially because there was a two hour rain delay and a five hundred team does not does not warrant my attention to one o'clock in the morning so when i did wake up an open my phone and check the score i was expecting to see like eight to three winners and eight to four win. Because that's the last. I saw the score legitimately to do a double take. I like rubbed my eyes. I was like is to still fuzzy. And i looked i saw the score and i saw the chapman grand slam and i just laughed. Because that's the that's the only reaction. I could have had in that moment at six thirty this morning to that result last night and that result coupled with the boston sweep and many other terrible terrible losses. This season prompted. Hal steinbrenner to speak. He said madel he speak absolutely. I'm aggravated frustrated angry. But that's not going to push me into a knee jerk reaction not gonna make a knee jerk reaction to this team being five hundred and looking terrible finding new ways to lose spiraling out of control halfway through the season plus last year which they only made the playoffs because there were extra seatings and then i know people have done this. It's hard to go season to span seasons but if you start the calendar on september first two thousand and nineteen all the way to today. It's a five hundred baseball team. I don't know how you possibly talk about a kneejerk reaction at this point how this is not a if you move right now. It would be a jerk reaction. Would anyone imported watching you watching the same team that we are watching. This is a team that is nd. Doesn't look like they're prepared in any moment inconsistent as all hell seemingly has the talent but can't put anything onto the field in a in a way that that represents you know what the talent should be like. This is the clearest of clear opportunities to fire someone's ass and and and you know at least try to make a move in some capacity. It's it's absolutely ridiculous that you're talking about this as a knee jerk reaction this is. This is anything but a knee jerk reaction if a move were made at this point anything. But it's absolutely warranted. I would do anything. probably not. Maybe who knows but at least at something because you can't bring back back. You can't bring the after a season like this. You continue the seat. Let's just say we've continued to season and things go about the same right maybe. They don't make the playoffs. Maybe they do make the playoffs and there's an early exit. Let's say that for conversation sake you're going to bring. You're going to bring aaron boone and his coaching staff back again after another early exit. And that's assuming they make the playoffs at this point. How can you possibly say that. So if you're if that was your thinking in your head yes he's coming back then one. Why are you making that decision. So so far in advanced and two. It's a bad decision like the fact that you're you're actually thinking about that of being a knee jerk reaction. It means you have something in store. It seems like seems like there's a plan for more of a future right. Otherwise if this continues you get rid of a guy. So why not. Just get rid of them. Get rid of him. You don't make jerk reactions on april seventeenth. You don't even make knee jerk reactions on may fifth but it's july first now. It's halfway through the baseball season. They're terrible boone. Is clearly overmatched okay. He's an awful manager. Not just talking about this year. It is clear as day since two thousand eighteen and he's actually gotten worse since two thousand eighteen. He's a bad even even if he even if it's not his fault even if it's not his fault which people could argue a billion ways we did the whole who who's to blame in ranking right. Cashman yes for sure could be absolutely cashman players absolutely to blame sony. The stunning cashman. Though it's like cashman has full immunity. The thing i quite like. Why is there no mention. Even of of cat like he calls boo. He goes out boone. The coaches at main. 'cause that's usually who you fires the manager but this is also on brian cashman and it says if brian cashman has aids like he's a member of the steinbrenner family. It's like he can't get fired. Yeah he's not untouchable. but why..

"Hal steinbrenner is gonna talk today and the timing is not great for him and the fact that they announced it last night late is interesting. They were winning the game. So i guess it makes some sort of sense. Do you expect to hear anything from him. Though i don't think so i think You know he's usually pretty measured. He's not emotional like his dad was. He's a very bright guy. I don't necessarily know that. He is going to be clamoring for any sort of changes. I mean even brian cashman. Said you know. I'm paraphrasing right. Now we weekend here we can put this guy and say it's his fault But i think what they're doing now is they're kind of getting their corralling the whole thing and saying we're all in this together we're not making any changes and you know if the trade deadline leads us in in some actual go that way but right now this is our team and this this team has got to fight. Its way out of its. You know it's kind of malays because that's what we anytime you're offense is in scoring runs and you're losing. It just looks bad especially to your rival like they did over the weekend in boston. But they've come back offensively at least against the angels in a look pretty good they have. They had their. They had their closer implode last night. Which happens from time to time. Unfortunately for him over the last three weeks he's been getting progressively worse and last night was the bottom of the barrel for him so i don't know whether or not he needs arrested. Need sunday's off or whatever it is to kind of get whatever you know. He has lost back. But i really suspect the house going to say anything earth shattering. That's for sure. He's he's definitely coming out today. And saying we're firing aaron boone and hiring and so right now i wouldn't expect that at all. I know steve cohen. I think it was last week or two weeks ago. He was asked in some way shape or form..

It's like football to us. I know baseball. They say it's an extra we. All i mean does the what were the president. The prime minister prime minister does he hate hockey. I just think he's backward asked. I think they're like they have never like. They are still in a situation where it's just rampant and the vaccination has been slower than molasses. They have done a poor job. In fact it's so bad. I think that guy should lose his job without a question. They should just absolutely run him. White the hell out of office and straight. Send him to hell. I mean he has butchered that like other. Your boy cam stewart. He tells us every day has many leaders apartment in two years. I mean what's going on there. It's like the third reich. I mean what is happening in. Canada obviously came. Always saying it's true though. I knew i'd get the name eventually. I knew justin trudeau. But here's the deal. It's embarrassing the fact that there's only thirty five hundred people at that that gives them zero advantage whatsoever. Now i know i know game. And everybody's gonna say that. It's nothing's done until they played their two games. I'm sorry i'm sorry you. They should have won tonight. They kick their ass on that and they still lost. That's all you need to now. They've been schooled by the lightning. Who on five in a row at home and who are so loaded. They could have a guys missing in their lineup tonight and nobody even cares that they're not playing cologne doesn't even matter. So here's the deal. Let me ask you about the yankees. I almost killed over tonight. I hit. I hit otani at plus two thirty home. Run monday tuesday. Plus one ninety. I went again tonight on the ferrall. boat in the lagoon. He didn't do it but he got lit up pitching against the yankees for that seven runs in the first inning. Yeah that's i. I thought it was. He hurt something helping stayed in. They did check them once. But i do wonder what was up there for a tiny lit up like that. Could these outings every while we get lit up eventually right. Every great pitcher does a bad game. I don't think new york's scares them so scare them hitting so it was weird. No judge of a lineup tonight as well. I know people go off about that. The yankees analytics crap. Then says he needs a day off. But yeah i i think we were all shocked. That the yankees go seven runs. Period immortalized donnie. So they have been so awful. I know they won last night. They're winning right now. Seven four in the bottom of the six stands up. I know you're probably watching Are you surprised at how frankly how steinbrenner's never said a word and that cashman finally admitted the other night that they suck. And nothing's happened to boone it all and they're just gonna go down like a ship. Titanic well two things here people. Who are blaming boone. You're out of your mind. Boone is a figurehead. that's all he is. He has nothing to say about any department cashman as he. You can't fire anybody. We all know this. I bought that making any decisions. He's your yankees. Oh be fine where book. We're really close. We're going to get close. we're going to. I want to strangle him. When he says that the lime would annoys me about the yankees is this. It's the same lineup. The same guys game in game out gay in came out. I understand the minor leagues right. They don't have a lot of top players. they're all younger with. They're not ready to play here. But for the love of god make a change. Somewhere right put estimate floreal put him at not. A garner should not see not see anywhere near the batter's box and there's a left hander on the mound. He should barely see as a right hander. On them out but we know we can't hit a left dance getting ridiculous here. So i think the most frustrating for me as a yankee fan is it's the same guys game in game out frazier and heart. Judge stanton all the guys outdoor and always can't really play can't really hit people on base. You wanna tell story of the yankee game. Just look at the screen each game to eleven to thirteen. They get lots of traffic but nobody can drive a in. That's what the story of the season and now. Hey hey we suck well. He scored ten runs.

Pakistan funds fact or opinion
"There's a half of our country right now that's living in a air quotes, reality that doesn't exist. Not kidding. This isn't a comic book. It's not a joke. It's a real problem. We have a Country of three constitutional Republic of 330 million people, plus And in order to make serious decisions about serious things. Just go down the list taxes, school health care, abortion guns, the Constitution, civil liberties, whatever that may be, in order to make serious decisions seriously. People like the citizens of the Constitutional Republic largely are outside of the radical left rape. We have to be able to make decisions. And in order to reach decisions, we should agree on a collective set of facts, not opinions. Okay, If you think we should support the government of Pakistan, more or less is an opinion. However, the amount of money say dish using this example in foreign policy, because it's an easy one. However, the amount of money we give to the government of Pakistan is a fact that is not an opinion. Now. I get it for the listening audience. You're like, Okay, that makes sense, Stan. But to the radical left, they don't seem to understand the difference between the two. You can say to you How? Listen, I don't think we should support. You know Pakistan with this amount of money, But the amount is a fact you agreeing with the amount we should give is an opinion. So how is it that we have half of America or close to it? That hated Donald Trump can't stand conservatives. How is it that they've come to exist in come to exist in reality where they don't have a grasp of what a fact is anymore? Folks, it's happening right now. Now we played this yesterday and bringing me not to pile on Brian Stelter, but he it's any easy target the pile, of course of CNN, but he has a show called Unreliable sources reliable. So when you get to him on CNN, and he was just the opening segment we covered yesterday, 11 seconds off Where Brian Stelter hilariously it's CNN says it's US conservatives in the listening on each other. That where the part where the problem we live in an alternate reality and thank God there's a media to set it straight. Check this out. You said the state of American Democracy is well, it's even worse than you think. So how should the reality based press cover an alternative reality? GOP? Right, And that's not a joke. He actually said that this is the same guy again who promoted the collusion hoax. The Russian bounty hoax. The China was a the Chinese, you know, coronavirus that emanated from China was it had to be naturally current couldn't have been man made. I mean, all these hoaxes were promoted by CNN, MSNBC and networks like Brian Stelter resides on now. They were all proven false. So how is it that they live in a reality? That's not real. And how is it that they're just quote discovering things that both you and I and the listening audience knew the entire time the conservatives out there. How does this alternate reality? Remember Bizarro Superman World's gonna come up a lot. I was a big comic book fan as a kid member Bizarro Superman. Everything was upside down backwards. Bizarro Superman was super ugly. How is it that the modern liberal lives in Bizarro Superman land? How is that? How was it that they live in The George Costanza Seinfeld episode. Remember that episode when Costanza does everything backwards and imagines and magically works out for him? This is the Seinfeld episode, like a stance that does everything backwards. Costanza. Stelter hadn't even done that, but it doesn't work out for them ever. He curses out George Steinbrenner and he gets fired, not a promotion. How is it that they've come to live in this alternate reality? Well, let's go to group one. First that contributes to this alternate reality they live in and why they believe things that aren't true. And why believing these things, Ladies and gentlemen, is getting people killed. This is not a joke. People are dying. Because of a reality liberals live in that does not exist. It's fake.

"So arbok has brown call Harrison and offers him the ice capades for a week if they pass on Russell. And with their top pick, the Rochester rose would draft a player by the name of shugo green. Out of duquesne, the Celtics then scooped up Russell and is a cherry on top, they also get Casey Jones in the second round. In one singular draft, red hour backs Celtics would acquire three future Hall of Famers, creating a dynasty, the likes of which the NBA would never see. Including 8 consecutive NBA championships. The first of which would be against the Minneapolis Lakers, and their rookie phenom. Elgin Baylor. And then one player on a particular team that was just we could not do very much with it. And that was entirely Russell Russell. Russell was also just unbelievable because Russell was the best defensive player you ever find. I mean, very difficult, but in the summer of 1960, Elgin Baylor and the Lakers would add a player who would help turn that ten years of hell pain into a furious decade long struggle that would not only rest basketball supremacy from the east coast stronghold of the Boston Celtics, but would sow the seeds of a bitter coastal rivalry that still exists today. The 1960 NBA draft was arguably the richest draft in league history. Four Hall of Famers in the first ten picks. And one of those picks was a lanky sharpshooter from the sticks of West Virginia. When I first came into lady, I wasn't even sure I was good enough to play, but, you know, I could run and jump like crazy. I had a very big vertical and that's before they even started to pay attention to stuff like that. And then extremely long arms and it was always really funny to me that they would put that I was 6 feet two and when I actually over 6 four and with a 40 inch sleeve length it makes you a lot bigger and you know if the physical part of it caught up with a mental part of it and that was the most difficult transition for me, the mental part of it had to feel confidence and the confidence to God were you got from playing against these people. West would be the Lakers first pick in Los Angeles. And the number two overall behind Cincinnati's Oscar Robertson. But signing the all American from West Virginia would prove difficult. As another Ohio area team, the ADL's Cleveland pipers, also had their eyes on west. The pipers were owned by a brash and brilliant young businessman, who was educated at MIT, and entered the world of sports franchises against his father's wishes. His name was George Steinbrenner. My dad had a fight trying to get Jerry West. And Steinbrenner was offering Jerry a chance to play at almost the same level as he would play in the NBA and he didn't have a pot to piss in as you would expect from a guy who just gets out of West Virginia in that era. So George wanted to see me and I visited with him at that point in time, I think all young kids, if you're any good, in particularly if you had higher aspiration, when somebody talking about something had been around for a while, but not forever, the NBA. That was always kind of a dream of mine because I'd watched some of the great great players at played in Ed era, and also I felt that if I were going to do something, the most important thing to be the most competitive person I could be was to play against better players. Not only did Steinbrenner offer west NBA money. He also offered him something most NBA players of that era needed during the off season. A job. He was really pressing me pretty hard. About doing this. His father was in the shipbuilding business and I'm going to be an insurance salesman. Again, coming from West Virginia, you know, I can't imagine me selling in a piece of candy, much less than insurance pollen to someone. As Steinbrenner pushed Jerry West, Laker owner bob short pulled, even hiring his former college coach, Fred shouse, to take over the team. But ultimately, it was west's drive. That made the decision. The money had nothing to do with it. I just wanted to play against it. What I felt was the best competition, and obviously I think I made the right decision. The kid who grew up in the foothills of the Allegheny mountains, not far from places with names like gunstock knob, was now moving to Los Angeles. The home of Beverly Hills, and Hollywood. You know, I hadn't traveled hardly any at all when I was a kid. I would say we had no means of transportation. So I was kind of shut in in terms of expanding the knowledge I had about other cities and the way that people conducted themselves and other cities you compared to very, really rule, small place that I grew up in. And it was a complete learning experience. First time I came out here and I was kind of all struck. I never forget we stayed at the old ambassador to hotel, and Wilshire boulevard, and that's where Robert Kennedy got killed. I was 20 one. They took us to the nightclub, the coconut grove, the nightclub, these old hillbillies

MSU Spartans... Presented by Rocket Mortgage?
"Michigan state has announced that its basketball team will now be called the msu spartans presented by rocket mortgage. You sit on a throne of lies. I would think so barat. it's true. Now here's the saving grace at. I believe in the way. I'm reading it. This is a story on. Yahoo is says the team will be called the michigan. The msu you know it presented by rocket mortgage at the breslin center. That's how they'll be known throughout the breslin center which is their home court their home arena so my guess rob is when near now announces a team. That's what he's going to call them at the beginning to gain when they come out for warm ups right before the game whatever. They're the msu sparks as presented by rocket mortgage. I don't expect that when they go elsewhere people are going to refer to them as that maybe they'll announce that before the game but obviously throughout the game everywhere you go. Call them the spartans or michigan state. You think i'm wrong. I mean there's it doesn't make it that much better but it makes it a little better to me. It's total nonsense. It's a allowed. Everything's not for sale. I'm sorry chris. I still respect the steinbrenner family. Chris for not taking the name. They could have put a name on yankee stadium on my right yes or no and made its montemar. Names right all right yankee stadium. How about madison square garden. Could it be very heels right. Could it be american express field reno. I mean they give me making money off of it and they won't do it. Can we have something. Everything's not for sale. I get it dan gilbert. Who was the president of ragweed and look is an alum. He went there. He loves the sports. He tried to hire tommaso to coach the cast. Chris i get the relationship. He's he's a spartan just beat the presenting sponsor when they when they make that announcement. You don't need to the msu sports presented by rocket mortgage. Why would you do that to your alma mater right. Well that's what i'm saying if it's anything but what i said right if is anything but okay well. We announced the team. You know we're announcing the starting lineup. The now star lineup. So the ms you spartans presented by rocket mortgage. But okay. i can deal with that. But if there you got jerseys now. And if that's what their official name is going to be elsewhere. There's a major problem. And i agree with you like and this is just this just shows the other greed. We talked about it and they're not paying players these deals. This is just a pity of the degree of this now rob. I'll even say this. I would've rather them. Just call them. The msu rockets michigan state rockets. Not is that this is ridiculous. This really is bad. And i just don't understand what all the money my god is it. Okay right don't get every nickel chris. I still would have been a sponsor right. There's tons of money probably just not as much maybe wide. I don't know how much is enough. I don't get it seriously. It's ridiculous like i say again. I'm betting that is just going to be announced at various times but not consistently

Hawaii assures travelers it's open for business as erupting volcano makes tourists skittish
"Support for this podcast and the following message come from almond board of California. Did you know almond farmers and processors are supporting research into restoring depleted groundwater through on-farm recharge, grow. What you know at almonds dot com slash water now to Hawaii, where the images coming from the volcanic eruption on Hawaii's big island are spectacular and heartbreaking more than eighty buildings have been destroyed by the gushing and flowing lava smaller eruptions continued to punch plumes of ash into the sky, but for most people on the big on the lava and ash actually far away closer is the impact. The eruption is having on the islands, tourist dependent economy NPR's Nathan rot has this report. On a normal weekend. The parking lot outside of the lava Rock Cafe would be a buzz tour buses would be dropping off visitors, fresh off their visit to neighboring volcanoes, national park for a lava tube plate lunch, or a cinder cone side. The adjacent stores would be ringing up lava puddle postcards and kill away keychains this weekend though. Oh, yeah, debt, nothing like graveyard. It's very sad. Adele trip is the manager here, and she says, business has come to a near halt ever since the recent eruption and the partial closure of the national park. The biggest tourist destination in the state. The volcano is a huge draw. We needed to be just enough crazy nuts too. And right now is too much crazy trip says they're cutting hours at the shops couple of restaurants, just down the road. They're going to close for three weeks or. Until further notice they're just gonna full on shutdown down because they can't afford to keep their people working. When you only have a few customers coming in the physical effects of the volcano and lava flows are only being felt on a small corner of this roughly four thousand square mile, big island, even here in the town called volcano, only about a ten minute drive from the actual crater. It really seems like just another day, but the economic impacts of the eruption are being felt island-wide can see just around town that it's a lot quieter to and a lot of the businesses are laying off people, but we're paying in there right now. Natalie, some Pyo is the owner of Hilo ocean adventures a snorkel and scuba outfitter about thirty miles from the volcano. Some pile store like many here in Hilo rely on cruise ships for a lot of their income since eruption. Those cruise ships have stopped coming to port costing the economy, an estimated. Three million dollars through July. Sarah Steinbrenner is one of the employee's here. People are under the impression that the whole island is erupting and sinking into the sea. And you know, really, this is just how how all of the Hawaiian islands would made you hear this frustration all over the big island. Many people here blamed the over excited news coverage, tourism officials, say the booking pace for the summer has slowed by almost fifty percent. People are canceling. Hotel stays in conferences, fishing trips and bike tours, but locals argue there still plenty to do. And you hear that at the Kona international airport on the other side of the island more than a hundred miles away from the volcano. Kathy Fisher is getting ready to fly back to Madison Wisconsin after a week, long trip. In any way it affects is probably the bog. That's the volcanic thog, which happens all the time here just more so now, and you're planning on like Toyin sunsets and all the nice stuff. And it was pretty much just like a fade to grey at night. Other than that much effect at all. The north side of the island was fine. She says, water was nice at, hey, she says it's a little less crowded than it would be. Otherwise, Nathan, rob NPR news, volcano, Hawaii.
