1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: One to Tulch.

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: All right, first official voicemail show of the season. Welcome back, everybody.

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: Welcome to another season of Yankees baseball. And it's been

4
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: an interesting winter to say the least. A lot of

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 2: new faces, a lot of clean shaven faces that will

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 2: have beards in a few days. We'll get more than

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: on that on a second. But you know, I don't

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: know about you, guys, but I am ready for my

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 2: most recent baseball memory to be something other than Game

10
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: five of the World Series. Big news today is that

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: the Yankees have amended their polarizing facial hair policy. This

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: is cool. I know it will not sit well with

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: some of the more you know, hardcore old time fans

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: that you know, really got used to the clean shaven look.

15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: But this is not an ancient policy. This was instituted

16
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: by George Steinbrenner in the seventies, and I think it's

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 2: great that the Yankees are going to allow some well

18
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 2: groomed beards moving forward. So let's go ahead and take

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: a look at the statement from hal Steinbrenner on the issue.

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: He says, in recent weeks, I have spoken to a

21
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: large number of former and current Yankees spanning several eras

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: to elicit their perspectives on our long standing facial hair

23
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: and grooming policy, and I appreciate their earnest and varied feedback.

24
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 2: This sounds like it was written by chat GPT. These

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: most recent conversations are an extension of an ongoing internal

26
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: dialogue that dates back several years. Ultimately, the final decision

27
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: rests with me, and after great consideration, we will be

28
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: amending our expectations to allow our players and uniforms personnel

29
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: to have well groomed beards moving forward. It is the

30
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: appropriate time to move beyond the familiar comfort of our

31
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: former policy. And I just want to say that is

32
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: a smart move. That's right, Raymond says, Poor Devin Williams,

33
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: he just got it shaved. Yeah, I mean that would

34
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: suck to have this massive beard and you get to

35
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: camp and you hit the razor and you shave it all,

36
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: and then a couple of days later, Hal's like, you

37
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: know what, never mind, go ahead and grow it back.

38
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: Oh man. Tough luck for mister Devin Williams. But look,

39
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: I think it says something about how that he's willing

40
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: to accept the feedback from former players and make this change.

41
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: I think he saw Devin Williams without his beard and

42
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: was just like, Nah, man, let's let's get that guy

43
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: some facial hair again now. But seriously, I think this

44
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: is a positive for the culture and I think that

45
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: how made the right decision here. Almost every player who

46
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: leaves the Yankees grows a beard immediately after they leave,

47
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: so that should tell you everything that you need to

48
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: know about how the players feel about the policy. I

49
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: am one hundred percent in favor of doing anything that

50
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 2: allows these players to feel more comfortable in their own skin.

51
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: There's a massive spotlight on these guys. Tons of media,

52
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 2: tons of podcasters. We've probably got more podcasters covering the

53
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: Yankees than any other team. And you know, weird favorite beards.

54
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: I got a beard? Is another wrong with having a beard?

55
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: My tax guy has blue hair. People look different these days,

56
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 2: so I don't think there's any correlation between how well

57
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 2: you play on the baseball field or how people view

58
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: you as a professional these days, and whether or not

59
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: you have a well groomed beard. I think it's fine,

60
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: and I think it's only going to be a positive

61
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: in terms of how people feel inside the clubhouse. I'm

62
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: gonna have a show tonight with Terrence Kim. We're going

63
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: to discuss the state of the Yankees, as we will

64
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: do most Fridays throughout the season this year. A lot

65
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: of stuff coming this year. Tune in nine pm Eastern.

66
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: We got some other news and notes to get to

67
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: here on the first Voicemail Show, and then we'll get

68
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: to your calls. Chase Hampton, Yankees number six prospect, has

69
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: an UCL injury, an elbow issue. Number six or number

70
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: six prospect, top pitching prospect. Honestly, he could be headed

71
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: under the knife right now. They're calling it a flexer strain.

72
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: But Boone did say that there's something wrong with the

73
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: UCL and that they are going to take another look

74
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: at it with a specialist, and he seems bummed about it,

75
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: as Chase Hampton should be. I was really looking forward

76
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: to watching him in spring training. He could have been

77
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: one of the first guys called up in the inevitable

78
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: case of an injury. And this is why you gotta

79
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 2: be careful with investing too much into pitching prospects, because

80
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: you know they can go down with elbow stuff at

81
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: any given time, shoulder stuff any given time, and that's

82
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: why you gotta be careful about prospect hugging too, But

83
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: when you're a pitcher, you're at the mercy of that

84
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: tiny ligament in your elbow. And it sounds like it's

85
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: going to be another derailed season for Chase Hampton. Last

86
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 2: year he had some other elbow injuries. I mean, there's

87
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: no question about the stuff. He's got a ninety nine

88
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: mile an hour fastball, cutter, slider. He only made seven

89
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: starts last year, but had a two point four to

90
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: one er A former sixth round draft pick, and if

91
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: he has to miss the season, I mean, that's gonna

92
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: put him well behind the eight ball. He's twenty four

93
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 2: years old, so that would mean at minimum he's twenty

94
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: five next year when he's making his return, and there's

95
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: no guarantee that he would, you know, make the rotation

96
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: next year either, so you know, something to keep an

97
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: eye on. He does have great stuff, but his mechanics,

98
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: you know, they're a little bit inconsistent and that can

99
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: lead to elbow injuries as well. He you know something

100
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: he was I see he's posing with the Apple watch there.

101
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: He's he's a guy who kind of flies open a

102
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 2: little bit on that front side. You see how he

103
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: spins off a little bit that puts strain on the elbow.

104
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: You see him moving off, falling off towards first base,

105
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 2: so you know, that's something that you know, it's obviously

106
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 2: a bummer, but it is what it is. Injuries are

107
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: a part of the game. Anthony Volpi has bulked up

108
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: this winner. There's been a lot of videos and pictures

109
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: of him floating around where he is noticeably stronger. I

110
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: worry about shortstops becoming too bulky because it can affect

111
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: their range. But maybe he realized that he was wearing

112
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: down throughout the season last year, and instead of getting

113
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 2: constant rest, he just decided, hey, look I need to

114
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: be stronger. I need to be physically more durable.

115
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: You know.

116
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan did the same thing when the bulls were

117
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: having difficulty getting past the pistons, you know, around nineteen

118
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: ninety or so, and there was all this talk about,

119
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: you know, is his added you know, muscle going to

120
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: reduce his athleticism. But it didn't. He only got better.

121
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: He learned to play with a new weight. Marcus Stroman

122
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: will be pitching the opener today. I think that's interesting,

123
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 2: but I wouldn't read too much into it. I do

124
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,559
Speaker 2: think that there's a chance he could still be dealt

125
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 2: by opening day, but as we saw with this injury

126
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: to Chase Hampton, I mean, injuries can come out of nowhere,

127
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: so it doesn't hurt to have a little bit of insurance.

128
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 2: And Jason Dominguez will be in the leadoff spot today

129
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 2: and he's gonna be rocking number twenty four. We've got

130
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: Oswald Piazza in the lineup. Talk about the lineup in

131
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: just a second. But first game of the spring today,

132
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: and I just wanted to give you guys my spring

133
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: schedule for postgame shows because we don't do every postgame show.

134
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: We try and do the ones that are available or

135
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: easy to cover because I do work during the day.

136
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: So we're gonna do February twenty third, March first, March third,

137
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: March seventh, March tenth, March fourteenth, March sixteenth, March nineteenth,

138
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: March twenty second, and March twenty third. Those will be

139
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 2: my ten preseason postgame shows. So tune in for those.

140
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: And let's get to your voicemails. You have two hundred

141
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: new messages, all right. First voicemail is on Paul Goldschmidt.

142
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Derek, I think I think the biggest X factor

143
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: coming into this season. I mean, obviously you have what

144
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 4: we have at third, so I just kind of expect

145
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 4: whatever we get as a plus. I think Paul Goldsmith

146
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 4: is going to be our.

147
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: X factor because first base past two years have been

148
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: effect So Paul Goldschmit gives us a sixty batanaviage for

149
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: twenty five bombs that that would be a great pickup.

150
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: But I do not think the third basement for the

151
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: playoffs is on the squad right now. I'm not too

152
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: worried about it opening day.

153
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 2: They could be a right appreciate the call. Yeah, Paul

154
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: gold Schmid has a chance to really upgrade the Yankees

155
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 2: at first base. He is hitting third in today's order,

156
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: Rocket number forty eight, same number as Anthony Rizzo. Let's

157
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: hope he has a little bit better luck with the

158
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: Yankees than Anthony Rizzo did. Now, you mentioned that the

159
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: third baseman for the playoffs, and it's not a guarantee

160
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: that will make the playoffs, So let's just not get

161
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: ahead of ourselves. Still got to play out the season.

162
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: It might not be on the roster. Oswald Parazza batting

163
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: eighth today, still Rocket number ninety one. Look, I'm a fan.

164
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: I don't have to pretend to be a journalist and

165
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: be objective. I am rooting for oswald Piazza to win

166
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: this job. I like his glove, I like his arm.

167
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: I want him to hit, and I want him to

168
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: prove in spring training this year that he can hit,

169
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: and I think with regular bats that he will hit.

170
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: And now I know a lot of you are rooting

171
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: for Oswaldo. Cabrera can't complain if he wins either, because

172
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: he is a switch hitter and he's deadly from the

173
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 2: left handed side of the well. I would say that's

174
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: the wrong word to say. He's not daily he's better

175
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: from the left handed side of the plate. But anyway,

176
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: I'm anxious to see how this all plays out. Let's

177
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: just go through the lineup real quick. We got Domingez

178
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 2: in the leadoff spot. I had him in my leadoff

179
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: spot all year long. Bellinger batting second for time as

180
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: a Yankee. Paul Goldschmith batting third, Jazz Chisholm batting fourth,

181
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: Anthony Vopie with his muscles now batting fifth. J c

182
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: Escara one of the guys competing for the backup catcher job.

183
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 2: Batting six, Pablo Reyes in right field, batting ninth, Oswald

184
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 2: Perrazza batting eighth. He is at third base, and ever

185
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: since Pereira at DH batting ninth. Ever, Sin pere is

186
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: another guy I'm anxious to see. All right, So let's

187
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 2: get to the next voicemail. This one's on Kyle Tucker.

188
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 5: I think the Yankee should do whatever possible.

189
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 4: To sign Kyle Tucker or even trade for him if

190
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 4: the Cubs are out of it at the trade deadline.

191
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm seeing a lot of people getting

192
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: on the Kyle Tucker bandwagon right now. In Nick the

193
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: Gamers says should Judge grow a beard? He should? I

194
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 2: think he think he You know, you look at the

195
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: thumbnail of this episode. He looks badass with a beard. Anyway,

196
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker is somebody that we're definitely going to keep

197
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: an eye on as season unfolds. I'm, you know, like

198
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: I said, I'm a fan. I'm rooting hard against the Cups,

199
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 2: you know, offense to my Cubs fans. Friends out there,

200
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: my wife's family are Cubs fans. They're probably watching right now.

201
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: I'm rooting hard against the Cups because I want them

202
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 2: to trade Kyle Tucker. I think he would be a

203
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: nice addition. But where would he play you know, this season,

204
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: you know, it remains to be seen. You know who's available,

205
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: you know who's available to play. Where we could have

206
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: some injuries, everybody could be healthy. If everybody is healthy,

207
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: they probably won't deal for him. But I definitely think

208
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: that he's going to be a candidate when free agency

209
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: rolls around. All right, next call is on Aaron Boone.

210
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 6: You know, I think Aaron Boone gets a little bit

211
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 6: so much heat. Yes, he's the manager, understandable, he's the

212
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 6: face of what's going on in the field, but at

213
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 6: the same time, it's the players that needs to step

214
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 6: up and play to the best of their ability. All

215
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 6: he can do is really bring that out of them,

216
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 6: and I think he really does a great job. You know,

217
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 6: senior contract is not bad. That's about the window that

218
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 6: they have when the World Series, you know, basically saying

219
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 6: balls in your court, you gotta score. And honestly, I

220
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 6: feel like he deserves it.

221
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: Well, Hey, I mean, you got to the World Series

222
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: last year. You don't fire a guy for that. Look,

223
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 2: I got no problems with the contract. It's a two

224
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: year deal. I would have had problems with a five

225
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: or a six year contract like Scott Bron wanted them

226
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: to sign him to. But look, I got no problems

227
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: with a two year deal. And you can always fire

228
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: the manager. That's no big deal. I'm not a Boone hater,

229
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: even though I, like I mentioned, I do fire him

230
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: here on the show a couple of times a year,

231
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: like Bro's gotta go, I bet it up my boat.

232
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: I can live with Boone. I just you know, I'm

233
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: gonna need him to manage the bullpen a little bit

234
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: better this year. And I'm glad that they brought Tim

235
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 2: Hill back because you know, you can't have Nestor coming

236
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 2: out of the bullpen in big spots.

237
00:12:55,559 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 3: This doesn't make any sense. I know he said you

238
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 3: don't hate it, but I assure you, like, hey, what's

239
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 3: the by the way, Andrew nearschell, what's up there?

240
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 7: It's just it's.

241
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 3: It's it's mind boggling. There's just a complacency problem on

242
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 3: the team, Like how are they so okay with mediocrity?

243
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 3: And okay, okay, so not mediocrity, but when you have

244
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 3: this roster, how do you not crush.

245
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 8: It's it's just any manager or many managers can step

246
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 8: in and just absolutely rock the team. So how many

247
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 8: games have the Yankees won and that you can point to.

248
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 3: And say we won that game because of Boot? Seriously, like,

249
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 3: I can't think of any.

250
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: If anything, I appreciate that it went on for another

251
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: couple of minutes. Reminder, keep your voicemails, you know, maybe

252
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: a minute and a half or so, just for the

253
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: sake of our listeners. But I appreciate the call. I

254
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 2: appreciate the rant. As I mentioned in the Little Low

255
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 2: or third, there takes questions, ideas, memories, comments, suggestions, rants,

256
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: all that stuff. Be mindful that people are listening who

257
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: might not like swearing. So you know, if you need

258
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: to swear, if you absolutely have to, I might bleep

259
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: it out. I might play it. You know, it depends

260
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: on my mood and my energy level for the day.

261
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: But as you can hear from that caller, there's a

262
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: diverse spectrum of how people feel about Aaron Boone. Some

263
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: people don't mind him, some people love him, some people

264
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: hate him. I'd say more people dislike the move than

265
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: like it at this point.

266
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: Hey, Derek, random question, Now that the little commer after

267
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 3: the Boon voice, Vail was curious if you can share

268
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: any insight as to how they picked numbers for guys

269
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 3: on the scene. I was always curious about that, never knew,

270
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: never knew the rhyme or reason, like why do some

271
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 3: guys get to pick their number yet other guys don't.

272
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 3: I'm assuming it's the higher profile that you are, you know,

273
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: you get the pick or whatnot. But I'd be curious

274
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 3: if you have a to know that and to share that.

275
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 7: One day on one of the episodes.

276
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: All right, appreciate it. So the Yankees' clubhouse manager, I

277
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: believe his name is Rob Cocuza, hands out numbers to

278
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: rookies when they come to camp. A lot of times,

279
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: these guys don't get to pick their number. They're just

280
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: kind of given what's available. If someone gets traded to

281
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: the Yankees, they're given an option to pick numbers from

282
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: what's available. I remember, I want to say it was

283
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: Jamison tye Own, but I could be wrong on this.

284
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: There was somebody who was kind of funny who said,

285
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: after they got traded, Will, why don't you just tell

286
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: me which numbers are available? Because he was trying to

287
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: like pick what number he wanted, and none of them

288
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: were available because most of them were retired. At this point,

289
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: the clubhouse manager gives out the initial uniforms, and then

290
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: after somebody has a little bit of time in the

291
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: Major leagues, after it's clear that they're a favorite to start,

292
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: they get to change it. You might remember that when

293
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: Austin Wells came up to the Major leagues, he wore

294
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: number eighty eight. Last year in spring he changed it

295
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: to twenty eight. Jason Dominguez when he first got to

296
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: the Major leagues war number eighty nine last year, again

297
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: eighty nine. When he got called back up this year

298
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: in spring training, he changed it to twenty four. Same

299
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: thing happened to Don Mattingly. When he first got to

300
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: the Major leagues. He wore number forty six, now retired

301
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: for Andy Pettitt. Mattingly switched to number twenty three, now

302
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: retired for Don Mattingly. So, I mean, the numbers are

303
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: what they are. You get used to whatever somebody wears.

304
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: I don't love numbers like ninety two for somebody who's

305
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: an established player. I think, I don't know, I don't know.

306
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just a number, Like how can a

307
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: number be disrespectful? Right? But it feels it feels disrespectful,

308
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: It feels unserious about a player to give them such

309
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: a high number. I don't know why. It's irrational. Numbers

310
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: have no you know, assigned you know, feeling that goes

311
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: along with them. Theoretically, number twenty six should have the

312
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: same value as number ninety two in terms of like

313
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 2: a uniform. It's just the way I feel, and I

314
00:16:58,760 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: can't explain it.

315
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 5: Hey, Aaron Joe from Jar. First of all, hey you're back.

316
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 5: I'm glad that we're calling in and you're back on YouTube.

317
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 7: Glad for that.

318
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: As far as Aaron.

319
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 7: Boom goes, well, hey, you know, hey Aaron, is if

320
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 7: we lose, at least we put some good you know,

321
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 7: swings on the ball, you know. And uh, I don't know, man,

322
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 7: We'll see what happens. It's going to be a long season.

323
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 5: Take it's time for change, though it's human nature to

324
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 5: change your management. People work harder when there's new management

325
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 5: brought in because they get scared.

326
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 7: Otherwise they get very complacent.

327
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't like this three year move at all.

328
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 5: That's my opinion. Again, Glad you're back and looking forward

329
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 5: to chat. Went to Hall season.

330
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: Appreciate the call. So, first of all, I never left, bit,

331
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: I never left. I didn't go anywhere. I was here

332
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: all winter. I was busting my hump all winter. Come on.

333
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: But yes, we are going to be back with the

334
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: regular cadence of voicemail shows after Yankees games throughout the season. Uh,

335
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: I'm thinking Monday through Friday, either ten or ten thirty

336
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: in the morning. Today we went live a little bit earlier.

337
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 2: I was originally scheduled for ten thirty in the morning,

338
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 2: but with the facial hair news coming out, I wanted

339
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 2: to go live a little bit earlier and be one

340
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: of the first ones up on that, so you know,

341
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 2: you know I'll be here. So just call in.

342
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 9: Hey, Derek, counting from California. Whatever happened to the members,

343
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 9: They used to scroll around on your coming back your

344
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 9: TV screen there you're talking about you're doing updates, and

345
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 9: I noticed that was eliminated and I really like that.

346
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 9: So anyway, I had the greatest save twenty twenty five

347
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 9: a year, and the Yankees, man, we're gonna pull them away.

348
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 9: I got ninety eight wins to leave.

349
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: I'll sign up for ninety eight wins right now, right now,

350
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: sign me up. Yeah, the members, so it's a graphic

351
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: that scrolls through the different members of the channel, the

352
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 2: paid members. I run it during the postgame show and

353
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 2: we haven't obviously had postgame shows for the last several months,

354
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 2: so it will be back when postgames rezuome on Sunday.

355
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: But thanks for the call. All right, let's move on

356
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 2: to the newest we're one of the newest pieces of

357
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: our voicemail show, Inside Edge. Inside Edge is a website

358
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 2: that gives you all sorts of fun little stats and stuff.

359
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: So my nugget of the day is that opponents swung

360
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: at the first pitch from Marcus Stroman just twenty five

361
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 2: percent of the time in twenty twenty four, lowest among

362
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: major league pitchers with at least one hundred and twenty

363
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 2: nine innings pitched. And I love this website because it

364
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 2: gives you great little stats on everybody. So I just

365
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: pulled up a bunch of stuff on Marcus Stroman, who

366
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,959
Speaker 2: is today's star, and we'll do this throughout the season,

367
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 2: get you know, basically nuggets of information about the key

368
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: players that day. You see, he works away to right

369
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 2: handed hitters, he doesn't throw that hard, the fact that

370
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 2: guys aren't attacking right away tells me that they're not

371
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: scared of his stuff. Right, You're not worried about getting

372
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 2: the two strikes against Marcus Stroman because he's not a

373
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: strikeout pitcher. You don't mind falling behind in the count.

374
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 2: And he's a guy who typically nibbles too, so as

375
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 2: a hitter, if I'm up there, I'm making sure that

376
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: he gives me a good pitch to hit. So that

377
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: is the nugget for today, Marcus Stroman making his first

378
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 2: start of spring. We'll see if it's his last start

379
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: of spring with the Yankees.

380
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 4: There is a.

381
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 2: Chance town possible future with no Stra Derrek back, and

382
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: this year we are going to keep track right here

383
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 2: on the screen of no Stra Derek's batting average. And look,

384
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 2: the stats will reset when the season begins, but we're

385
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: gonna have some fun with it during spring training. Ost

386
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: Derek so far hitting zero zero zero, no predictions, but

387
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 2: as of the next voicemail show, there will be a

388
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: batting average and then we'll see how we do this

389
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: spring again. Spring training stats don't matter, but I'm saying,

390
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 2: Anthony Volpi with a base hit, an extra base hit today,

391
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 2: a double, a triple, or a home run, in today's game,

392
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 2: hopefully putting that added muscle to you. So let me

393
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 2: know your predictions in the chat, and let's go on

394
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: and get to the audience chat. John the Beagle Dad says,

395
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: I'm an old head. Modern days call for modern rules.

396
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and agree with you there. I

397
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: think it's time to adjust this rule. It's one of

398
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: those things that I was planning on talking about tonight

399
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 2: about the Yankee culture anyway with Terrence when he comes on.

400
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 2: But the fact that we have this rule change, I

401
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: think it's only gonna be a positive for the people

402
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: in that clubhouse. I think it's gonna be something that

403
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: makes guys more comfortable, and it's not gonna play at all.

404
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: And I'm interested to see who grows beards.

405
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 7: You know.

406
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 2: I could see gold Schmidt growing a beard. He's had

407
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 2: a beard in the past. I could see Aaron Judge

408
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: growing a beer. I don't think we're gonna get a

409
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 2: beard out of Vopie. I don't even know if he

410
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 2: can grow a beard. He see, he doesn't seem like

411
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 2: a guy who can. Well maybe he can, but he

412
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: doesn't seem like a guy who can grow a beard. See,

413
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 2: he's got he's got that baby face. Let's see who

414
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 2: else is gonna grow a beer? Who who's gonna do it?

415
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: I can see Austin Wells growing a beard, he had

416
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 2: one in college. I don't think Garrett Cole is gonna

417
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 2: grow a beard, you know. I could see Devin Williams

418
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: obviously growing his back. I think he's gonna have the longest.

419
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 2: He's gonna be pushing the limits. They're gonna make him

420
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: trim it throughout the year. But I take a few

421
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 2: more comments here. Jingles Jingle says, it's the biggest thing

422
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 2: the Yankees have done in decades. Interesting, it's it's the

423
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 2: biggest culture change that they've made in decades. I would

424
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: argue that drafting Aaron Judge probably the biggest thing that

425
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: they've done in decades. Maybe trading for a Rod, maybe

426
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: drafting Derek Jeter, or signing Mariano RIVERA sinkerballer says, imagine

427
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 2: Volpi with a beard. I just can't. I just can't.

428
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 2: I can't imagine it. I can't see his face with

429
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 2: a beard. You know, maybe he'll grow on and we'll

430
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 2: be able to. But you know, there are certain people

431
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 2: who can form visual pictures in their minds, and I'm

432
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: one of those people. Right when I'm designing the show,

433
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: I kind of have an idea of what I want

434
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 2: it to look like. I cannot conjure up an idea

435
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 2: of Anthony Volpi with a beard. All right, we're gonna

436
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: cover this on Foul Territory today. Tune in at one pm.

437
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: I'm told to remind you, as I will every day,

Speaker 2: We've been doing a lot of advertising lately, and man,

442
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: we are growing, growing, growing. We're gonna have a monster year,

443
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 2: just like the Yankees. Hopefully, ladies and gentlemen, I will

444
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 2: see you tonight nine pm. And then first postgame show

445
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: is on SUN and we're gonna have a Ray Fonseka,

446
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 2: the actor who was on a couple of weeks ago,

447
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 2: got great response from you guys. We're gonna bring him back.

448
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: I'm hoping we get his internet a little bit more stable,

449
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: but hopefully he'll be a regular on the show this year.

450
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 2: Still trying to get some other big names, trying to

451
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 2: get Steven A. Smith on the show, trying to get

452
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 2: a few other folks, possibly a couple of Yankees players

453
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: this spring. Spring is the best time to get players,

454
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 2: and I'm pulling every string that i have, but we're

455
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 2: gonna try and get some folks on. But appreciate it.
