Speaker 1: He wanted to talk at all. Holy caw, the Yankees
Speaker 1: won a game in extra innings? How about that? How
Speaker 1: you doing? TK doing good man?
Speaker 2: That was a good, good win, a much needed win,
Speaker 2: as the Red Sox also won their games. So they're
Speaker 2: battling off Boston. But good to get a win there.
Speaker 2: I believe I looked it up earlier. Their last walk
Speaker 2: off was in back in May when Aaron Judge hit
Speaker 2: a home run against the Tampa Bay Rays to walk
Speaker 2: it off. So nice to get that.
Speaker 1: I think that might have been his last home run
Speaker 1: before he went down with the injury too. That was
Speaker 1: while he was hurting, and it was like a pop
Speaker 1: up to right field that just carried out of the ballpark. Well,
Speaker 1: not a big crowd tonight. A lot of people, I think,
Speaker 1: you know, turned off the game when it was two
Speaker 1: to nothing going into the ninth inning. The offense for
Speaker 1: the Yankees tonight was not good, but it came through
Speaker 1: at the right moment. The Braves hit two solo home
Speaker 1: runs Riley and Olson, but the Yankees battled back in
Speaker 1: the ninth inning. You had a big double by Austin Wells.
Speaker 1: You had a what was it a double by Ben Rice?
Speaker 1: That hit the wall. I don't know if maybe you
Speaker 1: got a single out of that, but he smoked it anyway.
Speaker 1: That tied up the game, and then the Yankees won
Speaker 1: it on a sackfly. We got to talk about the
Speaker 1: defense tonight because there were some great defensive plays you had.
Speaker 1: Ryan McMahon made a fantastic play George Lombard Junior. The
Speaker 1: arm strength on that kid is insane. And then you
Speaker 1: had a fantastic over the shoulder catch by Luis Garcia
Speaker 1: and it all added up to a Yankees win and
Speaker 1: TK this was a big win because Boston won again.
Speaker 1: How much are you sweating Boston right now?
Speaker 2: I'm big time. I'm worried. They are playing unbelievable baseball.
Speaker 2: I would say in the last forty games they are.
Speaker 2: I mean not only record wise, obviously, but they are
Speaker 2: the best team in baseball. I'll give you guys a
Speaker 2: little nugget here, but I have a friend of mine
Speaker 2: who has a friend, so it's a bit of a
Speaker 2: friend of a friend situation who's kind of close to
Speaker 2: the Red Sox front office. And the word that I
Speaker 2: heard was that one of the things they did was
Speaker 2: simplify it for the players, meaning they took one a
Speaker 2: lot of the analytic guys out of the dugout the
Speaker 2: guys with the iPads. It's just too much information. It
Speaker 2: was just too much information for them. They kind of
Speaker 2: simplify things and they were just kind of like, get
Speaker 2: out there and play baseball. See the ball, hit the ball.
Speaker 2: It's not that analytics are bad and information is good,
Speaker 2: but sometimes you got to streamline things a little bit.
Speaker 2: And ever since then they've been playing great. They got
Speaker 2: a great pitching performance tonight as well. I think that, yes,
Speaker 2: the Yankees one tonight, but going as what the offense
Speaker 2: has been the last couple of weeks, the last month
Speaker 2: or so, even you know, and the Yankees being heard,
Speaker 2: I expect the Red Sox to eventually take the Yankees
Speaker 2: over if they keep playing this way.
Speaker 1: So yeah, well let's get to the good, the bad,
Speaker 1: and the ugly. And as you can see, uh, there
Speaker 1: was not a lot of great stuff for the Yankees tonight.
Speaker 1: Ryan McMahon had a couple of hits. George Lombard Junior
Speaker 1: had another hit and a walk. Trent Grisham's slump continues.
Speaker 1: He has just been awful, t K. And we were
Speaker 1: gonna talk about and we can talk about it as
Speaker 1: soon as we're done with this, whether or not. Trent
Speaker 1: Grisham and Spencer Jones like, who's gonna be the center
Speaker 1: fielder when Bellinger comes back here pretty soon, because neither
Speaker 1: one of them is hitting very much right now. Spencer
Speaker 1: Jones hit a couple of balls to the warning track
Speaker 1: tonight that goes gravity. Both of them were caught. Jazz
Speaker 1: Chissel went over three, he's down to two fifteen and
Speaker 1: uh for the Braves, Akunya Junior had a couple of hits.
Speaker 1: Drake Baldwin had a couple of hits. Olsen with the
Speaker 1: home run, du Bond with the home run or with
Speaker 1: the base hit. Sorry, Austin Riley with a home run.
Speaker 1: Uh Hasan Kim hitting sixty seven oh for two but
Speaker 1: uh yeah, that is your good, the bad, and the ugly.
Speaker 1: We got to talk a little bit about Max Freed.
Speaker 1: We're gonna break him down in just a minute, but
Speaker 1: DK let's get to the nitty gritty. So Max Free
Speaker 1: does feel like he is back, and that is huge.
Speaker 1: The offense feels like it has not changed very much though,
Speaker 1: even with the additions of Lombard Junior and Garcia and Ramos.
Speaker 1: Ramos had a double and I think a walk tonight,
Speaker 1: and Garcia had a couple of walks. But still this
Speaker 1: team just is not putting together any kind of rallies.
Speaker 1: It's mystifying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Lombard's actually the guy that kind of
Speaker 2: got it going, you know, in the in the ninth
Speaker 2: inning there, and you know Grisham. It's funny Grisham. I
Speaker 2: kind of went back and forth where I was very
Speaker 2: vocal that I did not believe in giving him the
Speaker 2: qualifying offer, kind of expecting him to turn back into
Speaker 2: a pumpkin, so to speak. And I think if you
Speaker 2: look at Trek Grisham's numbers this season, he's very much
Speaker 2: the player that he's been his entire career, and last
Speaker 2: season is clear the outlier. Even what worries me about
Speaker 2: Grisham Derek is like, defensively, it looks smooth, like I
Speaker 2: almost think if he looks like Robinson Cano in the outfield,
Speaker 2: like just in terms of how he fields the ball
Speaker 2: and how he moves out there, but metrically the range
Speaker 2: isn't really there. You know, He's definitely not that gold
Speaker 2: Glove caliber outfielder that he was, you know, not at all.
Speaker 2: It's not even close. So I think it's like, even
Speaker 2: with Bellinger being injured currently, I'd rather have Jones in
Speaker 2: center and have Grisham in left and Ramos and right
Speaker 2: and do it that way just because I'd rather have
Speaker 2: Jones and center. And I realize that Jones is not
Speaker 2: really hitting all that much. I mean, obviously neither is Grisham,
Speaker 2: but I'm more so of the mindset that Grisham is
Speaker 2: not going to be on this team next year. Spencer
Speaker 2: Jones has a high likelihood of being on this team
Speaker 2: next year, and I'd rather him get the run and center,
Speaker 2: and defensively he's the better player. Offensively, they're kind of
Speaker 2: the same.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you. I think the trade off
Speaker 1: is that you're gonna get more strikeout with Spencer Jones,
Speaker 1: but he's also going to probably hit for more power
Speaker 1: than Grisham, and he's a better defender. He's a plus defender,
Speaker 1: I think, whereas Grisham really isn't that great anymore out there.
Speaker 1: The one thing I definitely agree with the audience on
Speaker 1: is that Grisham cannot be in the leadoff spot anymore.
Speaker 1: I Mean, this guy is hitting like one hundred for
Speaker 1: like a month. At some point, you got to make
Speaker 1: a change there. I think the Yankees not getting a
Speaker 1: rise is going to come back to bite them because
Speaker 1: Jazz is washed. Jazz is awful. He's having a terrible year.
Speaker 1: Jazz doesn't even look like he's trying anymore. He doesn't
Speaker 1: even look like he cares anymore. So I don't want
Speaker 1: to pick on Jazz too much, right but this is
Speaker 1: the impression I get from him. He was hoping he
Speaker 1: would have a huge season so that he could get
Speaker 1: a massive payday. Imagine thinking that you had a pretty
Speaker 1: good chance to win three hundred million dollars in the lottery,
Speaker 1: and then a couple months later, it's pretty clear you're
Speaker 1: not going to win, and in fact, in fact, your
Speaker 1: career might be winding down quicker than you thought. Nobody's
Speaker 1: gonna give this guy a big, long term contract. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure that he can hit the type of pitching
Speaker 1: that exists in Major League Baseball anymore. He's unfocused. He's
Speaker 1: I mean, an okay defender. He makes some runs with
Speaker 1: his legs sometime sometimes, but I just feel like he
Speaker 1: has packed it in mentally, and I think the Yankees
Speaker 1: are gonna regret not getting a rise.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I was really all really about getting a rise.
Speaker 2: I think Philly is lucky to have grabbed him. He's
Speaker 2: exactly you know. It's just that he doesn't fit what
Speaker 2: the Yankees like, which is home runs. It's a guy
Speaker 2: who doesn't strike out on a lot, you know, he's
Speaker 2: a baseball player. And I was really for Louis a
Speaker 2: rise because his defense had improved dramatically over in San Francisco,
Speaker 2: having Ron Washington kind of his ear there. But yeah, man,
Speaker 2: I think at this point, like there's just no way
Speaker 2: in chance that I'd be re signing Jazz even if
Speaker 2: if and I'm expecting Jazz to kind of sign like
Speaker 2: a like a two year contract with a one at
Speaker 2: want like an option to opt out, or a one
Speaker 2: year prove it deal, like that's kind of what I'm
Speaker 2: expecting from him. But even if I'm the Yankees, there's
Speaker 2: just I don't want any part of that anymore. I'd
Speaker 2: love to sign Luis a rise in free agency because
Speaker 2: he will be a free agent. I don't think he's
Speaker 2: gonna sign for a ton of money just because front
Speaker 2: offices don't value what he does. Look, I know this
Speaker 2: is like way too early for the offseason. But two
Speaker 2: things I'm doing immediately if from the Yankees is signing
Speaker 2: Luis a Rise and hiring one Ron Washington to coach
Speaker 2: third base and coach the innfield. Those are the two
Speaker 2: things I'm doing. I'm getting George Lombard Junior, who's already
Speaker 2: showing that he's going to be an elite defender. I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't want to kick him when he's down, but
Speaker 2: there's just no way Anthony Bolti makes that play in
Speaker 2: the hole there or makes that throw. I've seen him enough,
Speaker 2: you know. I'm just Those are just the two very
Speaker 2: easy things that I'm doing if I'm the Yankees.
Speaker 1: So something I was talking about on the show yesterday
Speaker 1: or day before. I'm not sure if you watched, but
Speaker 1: I think it's totally appropriate to compare Lombard and Volpi.
Speaker 1: They're competitors in the same organization. Right at this moment,
Speaker 1: they are in competition for the shortstop position. Okay, Volpi
Speaker 1: is obviously losing that competition. He's down in triple A.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean we have to kick him, but it's
Speaker 1: not It's not sacrilege to be like, you know what,
Speaker 1: Lombard's better he's just better, right, we're just evaluating. I
Speaker 1: don't think that's kicking somebody when they're down.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And the evidence, it's impossible to ignore. The arm strength
Speaker 1: is elite for Lombard. And we've got some people talking
Speaker 1: in the chat about whether Lombard would be a good
Speaker 1: leadoff hitter. I think eventually, but I don't think Yanks
Speaker 1: want to put that kind of pressure on him yet.
Speaker 1: But so far in the major leagues hitting three hundred
Speaker 1: and three for ten with a couple of walks, so
Speaker 1: getting on base. He has tough at bats. But I
Speaker 1: want to see him get through the league a little
Speaker 1: bit for you know, maybe a month or so, and
Speaker 1: see how he's doing, see how the hee's pitching him,
Speaker 1: pitching him, because the last thing we need is for
Speaker 1: him to get attacked differently and go into a big,
Speaker 1: long slump, because Grisham has been in a huge slump.
Speaker 1: If you put somebody else in there and he immediately
Speaker 1: goes into a slump, well then it's just like you're
Speaker 1: giving up the leadoff spot for a whole season. I'd
Speaker 1: rather put somebody who can actually hit in that spot.
Speaker 1: I was hoping that it would be Dominga's didn't work out. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I agree with Joel Sherman. I think Jose Cabairo needs
Speaker 1: to be the second baseman for right now. Just go
Speaker 1: ahead and put him in the lead off spot. He'll
Speaker 1: he's fast. At least if he gets on base. He's
Speaker 1: not gonna get on a base a ton, but at
Speaker 1: least if he gets on base, he can steal second,
Speaker 1: you know, and maybe you get a run in the
Speaker 1: first inning. So that's where I'm at. Ryan McMahon, good day,
Speaker 1: had the sack fly to win it. David Bednar, good
Speaker 1: job in the ninth inning, Yankees win this one over win. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm calling it audible. I've been playing too much Madden
Speaker 1: this afternoon. While I was waiting for the rain delay,
Speaker 1: I was playing a little Madden, and I'm in the
Speaker 1: mood here to use a football term, borrow some football parlance.
Speaker 1: I'm calling an audible. I know we decided on the
Speaker 1: belt winner before we started live, but I'm changing it
Speaker 1: up just from the comments that we're seeing here. So
Speaker 1: your belt winner tonight, mister Ryan McMahon, And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: let you dissent like a Supreme Court justice in just
Speaker 1: a second, but one the original belt winner that we
Speaker 1: had decided on, or that I had dictated was Ben
Speaker 1: Rice because that double to break out of the slump
Speaker 1: there and tie the game in the ninth inning. You
Speaker 1: wanted to go Luis Garcia because of that great play,
Speaker 1: but if you're gonna give him credit for that great play,
Speaker 1: you have to also consider McMahon's great play defensively. And
Speaker 1: McMahon also had two hits and the game winning hit.
Speaker 1: So that is my reasoning behind Ryan McMahon. But feel
Speaker 1: free to dissent.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I got a little frazzle there, my girlfriend calling
Speaker 2: me mid show. But I think I was going with
Speaker 2: Louis Garcia Junior just because, yeah, that's right, guys, I'm
Speaker 2: in a relationship. I don't live alone.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna say, we gotta tell her to knock
Speaker 1: that shit off.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, I'll let her know. I'll let her know.
Speaker 2: But I went with Louis Garcia Junior just because I
Speaker 2: thought that play in the ninth inning saved the game,
Speaker 2: just that one play. It was a tremendous play. He's
Speaker 2: not really known for his glove. He's definitely a offense
Speaker 2: first first baseman. He I mean the Nationals were basically
Speaker 2: like they banished him from second and made him a
Speaker 2: first basement's last dagh. But I thought that that was
Speaker 2: a critical play in the game.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, That run scores.
Speaker 2: You know, you don't know if they're with this offense
Speaker 2: the way that they've been playing, Like, I really really
Speaker 2: just thought that there was a good chance they were
Speaker 2: gonna lose that game. So that's why I had gone
Speaker 2: with Garcia. You have Max Freed, obviously contender with a
Speaker 2: great start tonight. There were a lot of guys you
Speaker 2: could have gone with, but for me, it was Garcia
Speaker 2: just on that play.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm gonna agree with Wayne that we got
Speaker 1: some great honorable mentions. Let's get to one of them.
Speaker 1: Max Freed, who was tremendous tonight. Six and a third innings,
Speaker 1: three hits, no runs, two walks, seven strikeouts. It's a
Speaker 1: shame that it has to be so stressful because he
Speaker 1: can't get any run support. He deserved to win. He
Speaker 1: pitched well enough to get a win, and the fastball
Speaker 1: was over ninety seven tonight. I think he's fully back.
Speaker 1: I think he's fully backed.
Speaker 2: TK Oh yeah, no, he looked great. He looked fantastic.
Speaker 2: He didn't really look like he was laboring at all
Speaker 2: or whatever anything like that. Stuff looked great. Atlanta's a
Speaker 2: great team, They're one of the better teams in baseball. Also,
Speaker 2: pitching against his former team sometimes there's something like maybe
Speaker 2: they know him better than other teams do just scouting wise.
Speaker 2: So I thought he looked great. You know, I thought
Speaker 2: that they were gonna maybe let him finish up that
Speaker 2: that seventh inning, but I guess they don't want to
Speaker 2: like push it too much coming back from injury. But
Speaker 2: definitely very encouraging. Seven k's. You know, there was only
Speaker 2: I guess that war little misshapp And I think this
Speaker 2: is just because you know, Garcia is a new player
Speaker 2: where you know, there was that back play, but and
Speaker 2: then you saw Boone talk to him in the dugout
Speaker 2: after that, Like when Max is on the mound, you
Speaker 2: always got to be covering the back because of the
Speaker 2: move that he has.
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's get to the game breakdown real quick,
Speaker 1: getting kind of late here. Seven hits for the Yankees,
Speaker 1: three doubles, no home runs, seven walks, fifteen strikeouts. Fifteen
Speaker 1: strikeouts for the Yankees tonight. That is no good. They
Speaker 1: left thirteen men on base tonight and two for eleven
Speaker 1: with runners in scoring position. TK it is astonishing how
Speaker 1: many people they leave on base and how much they
Speaker 1: strike out. Elliott Ramos with the hardest hit ball of
Speaker 1: the night, one oh six point three. I love that
Speaker 1: opposite field line drive from him. It reminded me of
Speaker 1: that Gary Sanchez double from the twenty seventeen ALCS you
Speaker 1: talk about. Just I can mentally replay that perfectly because
Speaker 1: I've seen it so many times and I go there
Speaker 1: in my mind and I just feel, I feel good.
Speaker 1: I feel a good season.
Speaker 2: Who just love that team. You tell the Todd Father
Speaker 2: thank you for the memories.
Speaker 1: All right, I will. I'll say he's supposed to be
Speaker 1: on the show. At some point. We're gonna get him.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get crats here as we go towards the
Speaker 1: uh the Pennant race. Here, take a look at the
Speaker 1: division snapshot. So, unfortunately, the Rays did win tonight. They're
Speaker 1: two and one and the Red Sox won. They won
Speaker 1: thirteen to one. So the Yankees remain a half game
Speaker 1: ahead of the Boston Red Sox and still four and
Speaker 1: a half back of the Rays. It's looking like a
Speaker 1: wild card year. I'm just hoping it's not the second
Speaker 1: wild card. I don't want to go on the road.
Speaker 2: No, no way, no way, you want to go on
Speaker 2: the road. But I think that that means that the
Speaker 2: Yankees are probably gonna get bounced early in the postseason.
Speaker 2: I think that winning the division is critical for making
Speaker 2: a deep run. You saw that last year the playoffs
Speaker 2: with you know the Blue Jays. Yeah, you had a
Speaker 2: legendary star from Cam Schlittler, and you were able to
Speaker 2: beat the Red Sox at home. But then you know,
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays were kind of waiting for you. They
Speaker 2: got their pitching set up, you know, they were able
Speaker 2: to align that up, and it's the Rays are not
Speaker 2: going to be easy. Neither are the Red Sox the
Speaker 2: way that they're playing right now now, it's one of
Speaker 2: those things. Eric, Like the beginning of the season, I
Speaker 2: didn't think the Red Sox were that bad, but I
Speaker 2: don't think that they're this good either. Even over this
Speaker 2: forty game sample, they're playing great, but I don't expect
Speaker 2: them to, like, you know, become the best team in
Speaker 2: baseball over the second half of the season.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 2: I think that they will cool off and maybe they
Speaker 2: cool off right in time for October. But at the
Speaker 2: same time, man like you know, it's the same formula
Speaker 2: with this team, the strikeouts, the no big hit. You know,
Speaker 2: they don't get the big two out hit a lot.
Speaker 2: You know that does not work in October.
Speaker 1: Can I interject something? So we're looking at this screen
Speaker 1: now for those of you who want to say batting
Speaker 1: average doesn't matter. The two teams that fill up the
Speaker 1: top five batting averages in the American League East are
Speaker 1: the Rays and the Red so Yandy Diaz two ninety six,
Speaker 1: Chandler Simpson two ninety six, Setian Rafaela to eighty nine,
Speaker 1: Wilson Contraras two eighty eight, and Jonathan Roonda to eighty seven.
Speaker 1: Not a single three hundred hitter in the division, but
Speaker 1: that's probably because Judge was struggling and hurt. As Wilson
Speaker 1: Contreras as your leader in the division with a nine
Speaker 1: thirty five OPS. Junior Caminaro second, Ben Rice is third
Speaker 1: winner or the leader and wins is Sonny Gray at
Speaker 1: fourteen wins. He has been unbelievable TK fourteen and two
Speaker 1: with a two point seven eight ERA, and he has
Speaker 1: been great at home. He has been great on the road,
Speaker 1: eight and one on the road, six and one at home.
Speaker 1: Sonny Gray having a fantastic year. I'll be interested to
Speaker 1: see how Cam Schlutler bounces back, because every time he
Speaker 1: has a bad start, he seems to rebound quite well.
Speaker 1: I'll take a look back at his recent action here
Speaker 1: and see if I can find his his start by start.
Speaker 1: Let's see, I know we have game logs here somewhere,
Speaker 1: I just can't find it. Oh yeah, here we go,
Speaker 1: game lug. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I was hearing on Mookie Bets's podcast, like every
Speaker 2: time he goes through a start, like the his coaches,
Speaker 2: his mental coaches show him videos of people like talking,
Speaker 2: you know, talking to ne talk against him and like
Speaker 2: kind of motivating mentally. So Cam, if you're watching, you
Speaker 2: sucks last start and use this as the fuel for
Speaker 2: the next game, all right, man, Like there you go.
Speaker 1: So backround June thirtieth, he gave up six runs to
Speaker 1: the Tigers. Next time out was against the Rays, eight
Speaker 1: innings of one run ball, and then the next time
Speaker 1: that he's stunk was let's see, I guess it was
Speaker 1: four and things against the Dodgers, and then he went
Speaker 1: seven and a third innings of shut out ball against
Speaker 1: the Phillies and struck out twelve and so last time
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals, four runs, six strikeouts, and five walks.
Speaker 1: Unlike him. So all right, TK, let's say a couple
Speaker 1: of voicemails and get the hell out of here.
Speaker 3: I swear this past offseason one of the worst Thinger
Speaker 3: did was offering Trent Grisham that qualifying offer. Not only
Speaker 3: is he not hitting and he's a below average offensive player,
Speaker 3: but defensively, both analytically and in the iepest, he is
Speaker 3: just horrendous. His arm is flat out not good, and
Speaker 3: again defensively, he cannot be so slow. He cannot run
Speaker 3: down any ball. And not only does he give the
Speaker 3: team extra outs offensively, but then attacking your bullpen, attackes
Speaker 3: the pitchers pitching as a starting pitcher, and then attacking
Speaker 3: your offense because they have to make up for extra
Speaker 3: runs that are scoring because he can't run down any ball.
Speaker 3: He is literally the worst move they've made his past offseason,
Speaker 3: and I am just beyond dealt with it. Let me
Speaker 3: know what you think there, thank you.
Speaker 1: I gotta say no notes, no notes on that call.
Speaker 2: Tak Yeah, yeah, I hope that's kind of going back
Speaker 2: and work one because before you even got hurt, he
Speaker 2: was on a bit of a heater and he was
Speaker 2: playing well, and I was like, oh, maybe I was wrong. Nope, nope,
Speaker 2: I was dead on the money. I expected him to
Speaker 2: turn back into the player that he was, and that
Speaker 2: the Yankees, you know, I hated that. Well, you know,
Speaker 2: we wanted to have an insurance who wanted to secure
Speaker 2: a center fielder because they didn't know if they were
Speaker 2: bringing back Cody back. It's like, dude, at that point,
Speaker 2: you had two outfielders that were untouchable in trades, and
Speaker 2: it's just like, you know, why didn't you go one
Speaker 2: of those guys. If you're not going to trade them,
Speaker 2: then you have to play them, and maybe you just
Speaker 2: struggle with the growing paints And yes to at Ban
Speaker 2: twenty one. I am still posting on my YouTube and
Speaker 2: I'll probably be doing so this weekend at some point.
Speaker 3: Go check it out.
Speaker 1: Well, everybody, I've got some great news. Okay, TK is
Speaker 1: now a made guy. TK will be getting a victory
Speaker 1: hat in the mail. Let's hear it for your guy, TK.
Speaker 1: It only took him a couple of years.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 1: Also, Frankie baseball. You know, we were unable to offload
Speaker 1: him at the deadline. Apparently he failed the physical, so
Speaker 1: Frankie's still around unfortunately. All right, ladies and gentlemen, more
Speaker 1: time from John Sterling. Oh, game over, Cans win Nik.
Speaker 1: You know, Frankie was at the game tonight and I
Speaker 1: was gonna say he was. I had this whole joke
Speaker 1: written out about how much bad luck he was when
Speaker 1: they were down to nothing, because both times that he's gone,
Speaker 1: it has rained and the game has gone extra late,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I was, I was gonna I
Speaker 1: was gonna break his balls a little bit, but they
Speaker 1: pulled through the win. Any final thoughts here before we
Speaker 1: wrap it up.
Speaker 2: He literally texted me in All Caps win of the
Speaker 2: year when when they did win the game, we were
Speaker 2: texting back and forth, so he said he got to
Speaker 2: uh he got to see Reggie Jackson walk right by him.
Speaker 2: Michael Kay as well. We were texting back and forth.
Speaker 2: I got the chance to meet Karl Anthony Towns today,
Speaker 2: so I had texted him that. He was like, oh,
Speaker 2: we both met some some New York royalty today. So
Speaker 2: you know, Cat, great guy, by the way, great guy.
Speaker 1: When I was twelve. I went to Game one one
Speaker 1: of the nineteen ninety five American League Division Series. It
Speaker 1: was Don Mattingly's first ever postseason game, and around the
Speaker 1: eighth inning we left. It was a weeknight, so we
Speaker 1: left a little bit early to beat traffic because my
Speaker 1: dad had to work in the morning and he would
Speaker 1: get up at like five in the morning and go
Speaker 1: to work. And so we're leaving the stadium and I
