Speaker 1: do you have? What's your what's your prize possession piece
Speaker 1: of sports memorabilia? Oh? Um, you know what. It goes
Speaker 1: back to when I was a little kid. So when
Speaker 1: I was when I was a kid growing up in
Speaker 1: South Jersey and I was ten years old, I got
Speaker 1: a Maurice Cheeks jersey. Mo Cheeks is all time favorite
Speaker 1: those great sixer teams of obviously when Moses Malone finally
Speaker 1: came and they won the championship. Mo Cheeks was my
Speaker 1: guy when I was a kid, and I got this jersey. Uh,
Speaker 1: and it's it's the greatest gift I've ever gotten in
Speaker 1: my life. I still have it. I still throw it
Speaker 1: on every now and then. So I would say, my
Speaker 1: Mo Cheeks jersey. Have you ever met Mo Cheeks? I
Speaker 1: have funny story. So I was at a Clippers game
Speaker 1: in the off season and I was sitting courtside and
Speaker 1: it was after I hurt my knee after UM in
Speaker 1: the off season of three and oh four and Moe
Speaker 1: was coaching, and I happened to get his attention across
Speaker 1: the court and somebody walked me over there and I
Speaker 1: got to meet him and everything. I kind of told
Speaker 1: him my story growing up and everything. So yeah, it
Speaker 1: was pretty neat. So you were you were fan boying him? Yes? Absolutely, absolutely?
Speaker 1: But did you keep anything when you hit the homer
Speaker 1: off of Wakefield when the Yankees won the World Series? Well,
Speaker 1: you guys went on to win the World Series, but
Speaker 1: or no, you lost to the Marlins? Right, yes, blips, Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'll try that again when you hit the home run
Speaker 1: off Wakefield? Did you keep anything from that game? Now? So,
Speaker 1: I actually gave my bat to the Hall of Fame. Um,
Speaker 1: a fan that got the ball. I ended up meeting
Speaker 1: him and signing the ball for him. Um, you know
Speaker 1: I have the batting gloves and and everything from from that.
Speaker 1: But but no, not, I didn't really keep much from that. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, I guess I have somewhere in a in
Speaker 1: a in a case, you know, the spikes. I wore
Speaker 1: the batting gloves. But um, now with with this athletes
Speaker 1: directing a lot of the things that I wear, um
Speaker 1: in season, during the season, you know, sometimes my lineup
Speaker 1: card that I keep in my pocket, my cut off
Speaker 1: hoodies and things like that. Um, these are things that
Speaker 1: Um it's amazing that people, you know, want to want
Speaker 1: to grab these things. And it's cool to be able
Speaker 1: to interact in that way. And uh, this is this
Speaker 1: is what this uh venture with Brandon's allowing us to do.
Speaker 1: It's pretty neat. Yeah, and you take control over your
Speaker 1: your own gear. I did you ever talk to Wakefield
Speaker 1: about that home run? Like, how does that work with
Speaker 1: after after you're out of the game. Yeah, you ever
Speaker 1: had a conversation. So I've had a few conversations with
Speaker 1: Tim m First of all, Tim's a great guy, like
Speaker 1: loves the game. Um has been involved on the broadcast
Speaker 1: sign so I've I've had a number of conversations with
Speaker 1: him over the years. Um, nothing about that, more just
Speaker 1: talking the game, catching up with each other. Uh, we
Speaker 1: don't really talk about that, you know. He he uh
Speaker 1: he actually had my number, he owned me U and
Speaker 1: I fo him ran into one against him because un
Speaker 1: nothing I think danced all over the place. Usually he
Speaker 1: could still pitch. I think Aaron I would think he
Speaker 1: could roll out there and and and definitely get some outs.
Speaker 1: You know, we don't really have any knuckleballers in the
Speaker 1: game right now, so he be even more unique and uh,
Speaker 1: but but he was special and obviously, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: had an amazing career. But we've had some great conversations
Speaker 1: over the years. But basically just uh, you know, talking
Speaker 1: like like old friends. He's Aaron Boone, the Yankee manager.
Speaker 1: Did you see the play with the Pirates and the
Speaker 1: Cubs yesterday with Hobby byands? Yes, I did? And how
Speaker 1: does that happen? You know? I think I think you
Speaker 1: get caught up in the moment a little bit. First
Speaker 1: of all, credit to Hobby for for getting a little
Speaker 1: creative and creating a distraction. I think, you know, it's
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, as manager coaches, we go over these
Speaker 1: things sometimes with with things that you think are just
Speaker 1: completely obvious, you know, uh, rules rules like a infield
Speaker 1: fly rule, where something happens in the moment that's different,
Speaker 1: and sometimes you react in a funny way. And obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, with the ball taking him off the bag,
Speaker 1: and as you start to chase Hobby down the line,
Speaker 1: you're like, what is this guy doing? All of a
Speaker 1: sudden though you see runners moving and obviously he got
Speaker 1: a little cluttered in the mind and and one of
Speaker 1: the weirdest plays you'll ever see. We'll get to see
Speaker 1: now on a on a replay for for as long
Speaker 1: as we're here. But the creativity by Hobby to create
Speaker 1: you know, confusion, um was amazing. But obviously you know
Speaker 1: in the end, all you needed to do with step
Speaker 1: on first, even after Contrera scored, which the strangest thing
Speaker 1: you've seen on a baseball field. That's right up there,
Speaker 1: that's right up there. Um. You know, Danny Grays I
Speaker 1: played with in Cincinnati, was a really good closer with us.
Speaker 1: Uh we were we're appealing a play at third base,
Speaker 1: and he was all he actually was a great fielding
Speaker 1: pitcher as well, and field his position really well. And
Speaker 1: uh so you know he gets on the rubber steps
Speaker 1: off to appeal a third threw it over my head
Speaker 1: and into the stands and that didn't work out too
Speaker 1: well though. That was a pretty good one that I
Speaker 1: tease Danny about a lot. Now, your grandfather played, your
Speaker 1: father played, your brother played. You know, the look of
Speaker 1: baseball now as opposed to what you grew up with, right,
Speaker 1: and it's definitely different. Yeah, but how do you manage
Speaker 1: do you manage differently then you would if if you
Speaker 1: were managing fifteen years ago, ten years ago. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think so, because I think there's just so much more
Speaker 1: information available to you on a daily basis, and you
Speaker 1: know how you're you know, evaluating players, opponents, different matchups. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, there's just there's just more detailed involved and
Speaker 1: obviously it's a different game with with um, you know,
Speaker 1: the amount of power pitchers in our game now, especially
Speaker 1: rolling out from the bullpen. So it's definitely changed and evolved,
Speaker 1: and you got to try and keep up with it
Speaker 1: as bestially can, as well as you know, doing our
Speaker 1: part to try and you know, as keepers of the
Speaker 1: game to try and do things that do make it
Speaker 1: more appealing. But is there always going to be a
Speaker 1: place for pitchers, like like if Maddox was pitching now
Speaker 1: or Tom Glavin's pitching now, more finesse spotting what they
Speaker 1: do living on the edges here as opposed to these
Speaker 1: guys who just say here it is right, go get it.
Speaker 1: First of all, when you're talking about great pitchers like
Speaker 1: Maddox and Glavin, they would adapt and they would, you know,
Speaker 1: no doubt, figure figure things out. I would say the
Speaker 1: one thing that's different when you mentioned those guys and
Speaker 1: you're talking to me who played in the nineties and
Speaker 1: the two thousands, I would say one thing that's changed
Speaker 1: a lot is the strike zone. The strike zone is
Speaker 1: much more north south now. There's probably some lower pitches
Speaker 1: called strikes, some higher pitches above the waist called strikes
Speaker 1: that weren't when I played um, but definitely east and west.
Speaker 1: If if if if you're an inch inch or so
Speaker 1: off the plate now and and that's called a strike,
Speaker 1: you know you're hearing about it. You know that that's
Speaker 1: off the plate now, whereas you know back in the
Speaker 1: when I played again, if a pitcher had command like Maddox,
Speaker 1: like Lavin, if you were demonstrating, you could hit the
Speaker 1: glove two, three, four, even more inches off the plate,
Speaker 1: sometimes off the corner. You got that calls on a
Speaker 1: lot of nights now. I don't think you'd get that
Speaker 1: on the regular. Who says something to you when you
Speaker 1: go out and you start arguing with an umpire and
Speaker 1: it doesn't go well, who lets you know? What? What? What?
Speaker 1: What are you doing? A different You know, obviously you
Speaker 1: you have your own bandage point from the side where
Speaker 1: obviously it's not perfect. I don't have the home, but
Speaker 1: you get an idea of how things are going. Um,
Speaker 1: and then it could be anyone that if if if
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get worked up about something or I
Speaker 1: feel like something needs to be addressed, UM, I might
Speaker 1: ask about a couple of specific calls that I think
Speaker 1: we're questionable, and I'll want to I'll want a little
Speaker 1: bit of color and a little bit of context on
Speaker 1: all right, what exactly am I dealing? What do kids? Do?
Speaker 1: Your kids say something to you when when when you
Speaker 1: make it on the highlights here here? Oh? Um, not really,
Speaker 1: I think they kind of laugh. But um, you know
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, I've had a couple rants that obviously
Speaker 1: a hot mic has has caught. Uh, you know, when
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with my children. Um, it's not the proudest moment.
Speaker 1: Some of the some of the language I use, I'm
Speaker 1: not I don't regularly use that kind of language. So
Speaker 1: usually it's just in those moments that it gets me
Speaker 1: worked up like that. But can't you get your point
Speaker 1: across without like kicking dirt or being demonstrative. Can't you
Speaker 1: just go out and just go let me just talk
Speaker 1: to you here? I guess like, did you ever think
Speaker 1: about that approach? How much of this is first show? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes that happens. I could you know, you
Speaker 1: should you should get in the dug out one time,
Speaker 1: and I would like to see you go out there
Speaker 1: and get your point across like that and kind of
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick fashion. Yeah, but Aaron, I'd go a little
Speaker 1: humor with my voice and I'd go out and I
Speaker 1: would say, hey, Joe to Joey, Joe, Joe, come here.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to understand this. Just help me because
Speaker 1: it feels like I'm getting squeezed here a little bit,
Speaker 1: and uh, I gotta protect my guy. I don't want
Speaker 1: to make a big deal out of this. Look, I
Speaker 1: got great respect. You're one of the great manager or
Speaker 1: one of the great umpires of all time. I think,
Speaker 1: the best umpire of all time. But aside from that,
Speaker 1: can you help out, Garrett Cole. I mean, the guy
Speaker 1: is getting squeezed a little bit here. Just you know,
Speaker 1: see it within your heart that you can just call
Speaker 1: it the way it should be called, at least I
Speaker 1: think it should be called. And look, if I'm out
Speaker 1: of you know, out of line, you just tell me, Joe,
Speaker 1: you just tell me how would that go? Aaron, I
Speaker 1: think that would be tremendous. And I'm you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm going to take that under advisement, and if I
Speaker 1: have to go out there the next time, I may
Speaker 1: do it in that calm, yes, somewhat passive aggressive. You know.
Speaker 1: I had to help Mattingly because Mattingly would get tossed.
Speaker 1: And I said, if every time you get tossed, you
Speaker 1: have to send me a part of your uniform. I
Speaker 1: have the whole uniform eron because he would get taught.
Speaker 1: He said there were times when he went out knowing
Speaker 1: he was gonna have to send me his pants, and
Speaker 1: so he said, I'd go out there and I'm so mad,
Speaker 1: and I know this is going to cost me a
Speaker 1: piece of my uniform here, and I have a whole
Speaker 1: mannequin full of Don Mattingly, his entire Dodger uniform. I haven't.
Speaker 1: That is tremendous. Yeah, and we've added the Marlins uniform
Speaker 1: now to that as well. So when you go out there,
Speaker 1: just have that thought that that's right. Dan Patrick said,
Speaker 1: how about I just go out there and just have
Speaker 1: a conversation. You know what, I Am absolutely gonna try
Speaker 1: that and I think that would be quite funny if
Speaker 1: I got kicked out in the process. Completely calm, yeah, complimentary,
Speaker 1: and even say thank you if you get tossed, you
Speaker 1: know what. Thanks, I'm sorry I interrupted the time here
Speaker 1: and look I am. I apologize and I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: into into the locker room right now, and I hope
Speaker 1: I'm going to enjoy watching the rest of the game.
Speaker 1: And I wish you nothing but great things, Joe. I
Speaker 1: love your work, like I'm taking it under advised. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you are. I think it would be tremendous.
Speaker 1: So instead of sending me a piece of your uniform,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have it on athlete direct dot com. So
Speaker 1: I'm not even see what I did there full circle
Speaker 1: Aaron Yep, I like, I'm a five tool host. They
Speaker 1: call me the Jeter of host. Well it was Jeter
Speaker 1: a five tool, um, I mean on an a power
Speaker 1: Guy plastic five tool. But you know he had the
Speaker 1: sixth tool though, too. What was that? Just the intangible piece? Oh?
Speaker 1: I thought I had to do with the women, my bad.
Speaker 1: I thought like, I'm like, oh, where are we going
Speaker 1: with this? Okay, all right, we should have hung up
Speaker 1: two minutes ago, right we should have yeah, huh, yeah
Speaker 1: he was quite a teammate though, right, yeah he was.
Speaker 1: Uh it's athlete direct dot com. See this is the
Speaker 1: kind of demeanor you should have when you go out
Speaker 1: to argue with an umpire. Very I'm definitely fun, composed, complimentary,
Speaker 1: pat him on the head. Maybe it's great to talk
Speaker 1: to you and uh have fun with this um and
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. I appreciate it. Dan, take in
Speaker 1: a good sport. Daron Boone, athlete Direct dot com. I
Speaker 1: didn't know what the sixth tool was? Am I alone?
Speaker 1: Am I the only guy who thought that? Paulie, we
Speaker 1: were all laughing, like you could just call Jeter a
Speaker 1: six tool player, which we've always known, like collectively we
Speaker 1: just hear a whoa whoa, Okay, all right? Maybe I
Speaker 1: think he meant clutch. Yes, that guy has to face
Speaker 1: in New York media every day and he never blashes,
Speaker 1: never loses cool. He turned bright red there. I think
Speaker 1: he was back with the Cincinnati reds. Oh Man all

Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, let's see that's recency buys. It
Speaker 1: gets recency buys. Mark and Georgia joins us on the topic.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark, what's on your mind today? Good morning
Speaker 1: Dance danants five ten and an ample two thirty four.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to weigh in on the wearing um
Speaker 1: opposing team's jerseys the games, and in my opinion, the
Speaker 1: only team that can honestly get away with it is
Speaker 1: probably the Pittsburgh Steelers because we usually equal, if not
Speaker 1: exceed the number of fans and I saw this in
Speaker 1: action in Jacksonville and it was like Steelers home games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you, Mark. It's like there're gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of Knicks fans in Atlanta tonight. There's certain areas of
Speaker 1: the country where you think you have a home field,
Speaker 1: home court advantage and you don't. Chris and Phoenix High. Chris,
Speaker 1: I've nine two twenty. Hey, So a lot of two things. First,
Speaker 1: I don't think the fans are any better or any
Speaker 1: worse than in the past. You touched on it earlier,
Speaker 1: but these days we have you know, four hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty different camera angles on broadcast, everyone a cell phone
Speaker 1: camera to capture these moments, and then you posted on
Speaker 1: social media and we're talking about them twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: If you didn't catch it in the moment or see
Speaker 1: the clip on Sports Center, you didn't know about it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Second thing, as I sit here in my DP show
Speaker 1: gear T Bone Steak Meet Friday T shirt, I can't
Speaker 1: help but feel like mclovin deserves a wheel of punishment
Speaker 1: for his tofu suggestion. I know you want to Aaron
Speaker 1: Square the right to pick the menu, but he guaranteed
Speaker 1: the Lakers who have the goat and Lebron James if
Speaker 1: they beat the Suns. I mean, it wasn't so extraordinary
Speaker 1: that he should get to commit DP show treason. Well
Speaker 1: what you want to boys do? Keep it up? Multi,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Chris, Thank you, Chris. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: think Laker fans reacted to their game to win over
Speaker 1: the Suns the way the Knicks fans reacted to their
Speaker 1: game to win over the Hawks. I didn't see them
Speaker 1: dancing outside Staples, you know, guys with their shirts off.
Speaker 1: I think it was just fans basically stuck in traffic there. Uh.
Speaker 1: Scott in Connecticut joins us, Hey Scott, Hey Dan, how

Speaker 1: Red Sox fans. Yea, his fights and things. Yes, but
Speaker 1: sometimes fans go there to start fights. Yeah, Like I'm
Speaker 1: not going to put all of this on the home fans,
Speaker 1: but sometimes you go and you want to add you
Speaker 1: tate and there's certain stadium, certain ballparks you just can't
Speaker 1: do it. Sad to say you can't do it. Yeah, club.
Speaker 1: We were at a neutral stadium. The Danets were sitting
Speaker 1: in the stands for the Eagles Patriots super Bowl, and
Speaker 1: there were Patriots and Eagles fans were real close to
Speaker 1: go time. And that's like a kind of a corporate crowd. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember the first Super Bowl that my kids went to.
Speaker 1: It was in Houston. That was Patriot It's in Carolina.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable game, unbelievable finish the whole thing. And I brought
Speaker 1: my son and daughter and I was hosting Sports Center
Speaker 1: and I talked to my daughter, who was really young
Speaker 1: at the time, and I said, now, it's an unbelievable game.
Speaker 1: She goes, you would not believe Tom and Mike, and
Speaker 1: I go, Tom and Mike tom Brady. She goes, who's that?
Speaker 1: I go, who's Tom and Mike? They were two Patriots fans.
Speaker 1: They were sitting next to us, and they were drunk. Dad.
Speaker 1: So I took pictures of them all night long, and
Speaker 1: I go, Okay, did they say anything inappropriate? I don't
Speaker 1: think so. We couldn't understand them. So she gets she
Speaker 1: had those old cameras, you know, the old ones, the
Speaker 1: disposable ones. She gets her pictures back from the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: They're all of these two guys just being drunk, and
Speaker 1: she took an entire role of film of two New
Speaker 1: England Patriot fans. Yeah. Mcclem, I hate to say this.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure your daughter merited as a super Bowl
Speaker 1: ticket if she didn't even know who Tom Brady was. Well,
Speaker 1: I had to, I was. I had to take him
Speaker 1: to the game, but I had to work after the game.
Speaker 1: This is babysitting. Is your babysitting technique? Sit in the
Speaker 1: stands the Super Bowl? Yeah, seventy thousand fans were babysitting
Speaker 1: my kids. There was somebody else there to get them
Speaker 1: to and front, just like the usher, the guy. Somebody
Speaker 1: I eventually met after the game and I go, oh,
Speaker 1: did you watch my kids? Yeah? Yeah, these are your kids. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll just drop them off. I gotta go host Sports Center. Yeah,

Speaker 1: and the Dannetts are all stretching. Why are you stretching?
Speaker 1: It's ten thirty in the morning. Shouldn't you do that
Speaker 1: when you wake up? Why are they ready to go? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's discussing like stretching policy. Do you stretch in the morning?
Speaker 1: Do you have to warm up before you stretch? That
Speaker 1: kind of seems odd like you jog a little fright bike.
Speaker 1: Are you big stretcher? Nope, nope. I leave people on stretchers. Yes, mclock.
Speaker 1: What about the DP twelve method, famed, No, no DP
Speaker 1: twelve pack. Yeah. Remember you asked Kobe, what would thirty
Speaker 1: five year old Kobe Bryant tell twenty year old Kobe
Speaker 1: Bryant positives stretch? Yeah, but that's what Brady learned. Brady
Speaker 1: learned later in his career about pliability and how important
Speaker 1: it's been. That's probably the one thing I would say
Speaker 1: to anybody who gets to be over thirty five years
Speaker 1: of age, if you can stretch every single day. You
Speaker 1: ever notice when a dog gets up like animals stretch.
Speaker 1: A dog will stretch all the time, gets out of

Speaker 1: now Teenagers, New Age of Ninja begins. Catch the season
Speaker 1: premiere American Ninja Warrior Monday, eight Eastern on NBC. Streaming
Speaker 1: right here on peacock. A lot of talk about what
Speaker 1: happened in that Pirates game against the Cubs and Hobby Bias.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to describe it, but there was. Well,
Speaker 1: let me play it. This will probably confuse you more
Speaker 1: than anything. Here's the call with the Pittsburgh Pirates KDKA
Speaker 1: of this play yesterday involving Hobby Bayaz of the Cubs.
Speaker 1: Here's a oh to home and a swing in the
Speaker 1: groundball on the third base. He took a neck high
Speaker 1: pitch and hit it on the ground a third. Now
Speaker 1: Baya's running back toward home plate. Tag him quickly, and
Speaker 1: what did Craig do there? They got a run out
Speaker 1: of that, And now they got to get the out
Speaker 1: at first and they throw it in the right field.
Speaker 1: That's gonna get a run for the Cubs. Oh my,
Speaker 1: what a looney play. And he's in its second base.
Speaker 1: Just tag him out. Yeah, that's all you had to do.
Speaker 1: Will Craig is the first baseman. The throw from the
Speaker 1: third baseman pulls him off the back, so Hobby Bayez
Speaker 1: then starts to go back towards home plate, which, okay,
Speaker 1: you can go back, but if you go back there
Speaker 1: then you have no place to go and I'll is
Speaker 1: tag you or the first baseman could have walked to
Speaker 1: first base tag first base. Inning is over. Instead, he
Speaker 1: tries to flip the ball to the catcher, who, instead
Speaker 1: of tagging Bayaz, was trying to get an out at
Speaker 1: the plate. The runner is safe at the plate, and
Speaker 1: then the catcher, Michael Perez, throws it past the first
Speaker 1: baseman guy covering first. Bayaz ends up going all the
Speaker 1: way to second base and goes there safely. It's an
Speaker 1: O two pitch, it's two ounce. I have to is
Speaker 1: tag first at any point. No run scores. On an
Speaker 1: inning ending play which the third out is a forced
Speaker 1: out at first base, the batter has to reach first base.
Speaker 1: That's it. So now even if that runner scores, you
Speaker 1: just have to throw it to first base and do
Speaker 1: it before Bayaz gets there. He's out. Inning over. No
Speaker 1: running's scored. In other words, the force out counts before
Speaker 1: runs or score. Yeah, seton, But doesn't that sound crazy though?
Speaker 1: That the runner comes home, crosses home plate right is
Speaker 1: called safe by the ump. I can't say it sounds
Speaker 1: crazy after the play we saw, which was crazy, and
Speaker 1: then ten seconds later, say, Hobby Bayez is called out
Speaker 1: at first base. Now that run no longer counts because
Speaker 1: he was tagged out after the run had scored. He
Speaker 1: didn't finish the play. You have to get to first Now,
Speaker 1: if he gets thrown out at second, try to go
Speaker 1: from first to second or home to second. He got
Speaker 1: thrown out, that runs will count because he got to
Speaker 1: first base, right, But I don't understand why it would
Speaker 1: matter getting to first base, Like, if you were able
Speaker 1: to cross home plate in that timeframe, why would something
Speaker 1: that happens after the fact affect you crossing home plate.
Speaker 1: It's just an unwritten rule seed. Oh, that's a human element.
Speaker 1: What we need more of that. I like how Aaron
Speaker 1: Boone was talking about how they just all of a
Speaker 1: sudden change the strike zone. They're not giving you things
Speaker 1: on the corner now, it's a it's a narrower strike zone,
Speaker 1: Like why do they do this? Shouldn't it be that's
Speaker 1: what the strike zone is. If you had tennis and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you go you hit it
Speaker 1: out of bounds. But I give I like to give
Speaker 1: my tennis players when I'm the umpire, I like to
Speaker 1: give them that like this is this is the strike zone.
Speaker 1: This is inbounds, this is out of bounds. But we
Speaker 1: have this. You know. I like to have my own
Speaker 1: personality when it comes to the strike zone. Really, who
Speaker 1: gives a damn about your personality? How about you just
Speaker 1: call it and there's uniformity here. You know, I'm an
Speaker 1: individual and I like to be able to interpret these
Speaker 1: strikes zone just how I express my artistic spirit within
Speaker 1: the game. Here is the Pirates manager Derek Shelton on
Speaker 1: have you seen that play before? Skip? Well, they say
Speaker 1: if you stay in the game, walk enough, you'll see everything.
Speaker 1: I've never seen that before. U. That's on me, Like,
Speaker 1: we gotta know that, so I guarantee you'll never see
Speaker 1: it again while I'm here, So you know, hopefully we'll
Speaker 1: never see it again. But that that's on me that
Speaker 1: our guy's got another role. I'll come on, come on,
Speaker 1: come on, Skip, It's not on you. It's on your
Speaker 1: first baseman and everybody else who could have just said
Speaker 1: go to first, throw to first, walk to first crawled
Speaker 1: to first. It just had to take half a step
Speaker 1: backwards anyway over. Yeah, Paulie, that is foe blametaking, because
Speaker 1: Derek Shelton knows he had nothing to do with that.
Speaker 1: But in this culture, you have to back your players
Speaker 1: or else you're bashing your players. You imagine me went
Speaker 1: the other way like that guy was clueless. Yeah, my
Speaker 1: guy doesn't know baseball. Yeah yeah, maybe what he's saying is,
Speaker 1: you know what, it's my fault. That guy should have
Speaker 1: never been playing first today. So that's my bad. I
Speaker 1: made the lineup, I put the people out there. That's
Speaker 1: my fault. Well, Derek Shelton, the Pirates manager, then followed
Speaker 1: up by saying it it's his fault, Shelter, you're talking
Speaker 1: about knowing just Craig, you know, going back to first base,
Speaker 1: that's the easy play there, obviously. Yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 1: a force out back hasn't moved in one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty years. So again, our guy's not got to know
Speaker 1: the rules. That's that's my fault. No, it's not. See
Speaker 1: should have stayed with that sarcastic. That's great, you know,
Speaker 1: and Baggage been there for one hundred and four years,
Speaker 1: hasn't moved it und four years. Dang, Skip, Yeah, yeah, glad,
Speaker 1: it's my fault. We're not even in June yet. Skip.
Speaker 1: Do you do you think now when we get to
Speaker 1: spring training next year that every team is going to
Speaker 1: go over this scenario? Feels like it seems pretty obvious. Yes,
Speaker 1: So what if he lost track of the outs and
Speaker 1: there's one out in that situation, he might have I'd
Speaker 1: have no idea what he was supposed to do. Then
Speaker 1: then I would have if he had turned a first
Speaker 1: base and the runner would have stuck behind him and scored. Okay,
Speaker 1: do you realize even in T ball, you turn around
Speaker 1: go two outs to it like shortstop second two. You
Speaker 1: got two out and then the outfielder goes right back.
Speaker 1: Two outs. So you're trying to tell me in the
Speaker 1: big leagues, where there's all kinds of monitors there, that
Speaker 1: he didn't know how many ounce there were. He probably
Speaker 1: thought there were two outs, but he's like, wait, this
Speaker 1: guy's running like this, there must be one out, and
Speaker 1: I gotta worry about this guy running home. He panicked. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean everybody's done that. Two outs, all right, two down?
Speaker 1: Come on? You just like making that hand cut two down,
Speaker 1: then the outfielder would have to signal back to me
Speaker 1: that he got it. Aw Come on, yeah, mclub. What
Speaker 1: is the purpose when the after a strikeout they throwed
Speaker 1: around the horn? Does that have any meaningful purpose to
Speaker 1: just look cool? I think because the game is so
Speaker 1: damn balling that they just try to keep you awake.
Speaker 1: But then there's always a guy who doesn't get the
Speaker 1: ball on that throw, so it's it's home to third,
Speaker 1: somebody doesn't get the ball. I'm trying to think, been
Speaker 1: such a long time since been in the infield, but
Speaker 1: it always felt maybe is it the first baseman who
Speaker 1: doesn't get it? But when you throw home first or
Speaker 1: home third, then you throw it to second, who throws
Speaker 1: it to short, who throws it the first who walks
Speaker 1: it over to the butcher, but then he doesn't tag first. No,
Speaker 1: I always thought that there's sometimes you throw it around
Speaker 1: the horn, but then somebody doesn't get it, And I
Speaker 1: don't know why they didn't get it, another unwritten rule
Speaker 1: of baseball. Yes, Polly, According to the Washington Times, it's
Speaker 1: been going on forever. They did a thing about it,
Speaker 1: and it was always big after strikeouts that they thought
Speaker 1: that catchers were like all fired up, like yeah, like
Speaker 1: they throw it down the line of the basin around
Speaker 1: the horn. I just think there's nothing going on, and
Speaker 1: you probably just want to get people, you know, keep
Speaker 1: them awake, look alive. Yeah, I mean that's the only
Speaker 1: action you got. When Nolan Ryan was on the mound.
Speaker 1: He either walked, he or he struck you out, So
Speaker 1: you probably had to have those guys. Outfielders said they
Speaker 1: didn't like playing when Nolan Ryan was pitching because it
Speaker 1: was really hard to stay awake, like in the moment,
Speaker 1: like you're awake, but you're not really in the game. Yeah, Poey,
Speaker 1: if baseball hadn't invented this one hundred thousand years ago,
Speaker 1: Tony really would never have a job around the horn.
Speaker 1: You go, okay, around the horn? What would they have
Speaker 1: called it? Tony talks to a bunch of sportswriters, and
Speaker 1: nobody's reading newspapers anymore. With a fake scoring system. A
Speaker 1: wordy yeah, a little too wordy there, a little too
Speaker 1: worried there. Jeff and Detroit is back. Jeff course is
Speaker 1: a former Detroit police officer and one of our one
Speaker 1: of our big fans. Hi, Jeff Hey what's going on? Dan,
Speaker 1: shout out the Fellers on this meat Friday. I hope
Speaker 1: you guys enjoy you three day weekend twelve fifteen podcast
Speaker 1: today too, looking forward to that listen. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you a story and this is just between us, you
Speaker 1: can't tell anybody else. It was around nineteen ninety nine
Speaker 1: when Tiger Stadium was getting ready to go to Comerica
Speaker 1: Park and we had a problem with people continuously running
Speaker 1: on the field. So we had one individual that just
Speaker 1: did it with impunity. I mean, this guy just always
Speaker 1: ended up on the field. We would arrest them, kick
Speaker 1: him out here sneak back in with the fact mustache.
Speaker 1: So finally we came up with an idea. The captain
Speaker 1: of our tug awar team was a six foot eight
Speaker 1: gentleman by the name of Big John. Now he was,
Speaker 1: like I mean, a massive individual. John took off all
Speaker 1: his clothes, put on a white tshirt with some shorts,
Speaker 1: and we put him in a holding sale. When the
Speaker 1: guy got arrested, we called Big John down going to
Speaker 1: hold and seale with him. Well, probably about twenty minutes
Speaker 1: later I walked past to seal and this guy standing
Speaker 1: there with tears in his eyes. John doesn't have a
Speaker 1: shirt on, muscles rippling, and you know, we're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out, like what's going on, what's going on? What's
Speaker 1: going on? So the guys like, man, please just get
Speaker 1: me out of here. So we finally get the guy out.
Speaker 1: John made the guy put his T shirt on, told
Speaker 1: him they were gonna get married and that he was
Speaker 1: his wife now. And when I tell you that, that
Speaker 1: was probably the best when I couldn't stop laughing to
Speaker 1: even trop buying the guy out. It was so funny.
Speaker 1: So needless to say, we never saw that guy again,
Speaker 1: and he actually pead himself. I'm sad to say, but
Speaker 1: don't tell nobody that story. All right, Sacred's good with me, Jeff,
Speaker 1: have a great weekend. There, take a break here back
Speaker 1: with more phone calls after this. Thanks for listening to

Speaker 1: three time NFL All pro Sean Mary and I have

Speaker 1: So were the Angels pitcher Shoho Tani was stuck in
Speaker 1: traffic and showed up late. Therefore he was not able
Speaker 1: to prepare as a starting pitcher. He was scratched from
Speaker 1: Thursday's start because of a traffic jam, and I guess
Speaker 1: he had a forty five minute trip man forty five minutes,
Speaker 1: so he ended up being a DH here. But he
Speaker 1: tried to take the public transportation I've taken bart before,
Speaker 1: but apparently wasn't able to get there in time, and
Speaker 1: so he fell further behind in his schedule. Yes, point,
Speaker 1: a guy you and I know used to play for
Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Cardinals and when teams come in down
Speaker 1: to play the Mets. They stay at a hotel right
Speaker 1: at Grand Central Station, right in the middle of Manhattan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that high at there on forty second, right, And you
Speaker 1: could either take a team bus to and be at
Speaker 1: the ballpark, or you can go at your own time.
Speaker 1: There's a certain window you have to be at the ballpark.
Speaker 1: Let's say it's a seven o'clock game, you must be
Speaker 1: there by four whatever team rule there is. But a
Speaker 1: lot of players, especially younger players, they say, would take
Speaker 1: the seven train, which is like a subway train, and
Speaker 1: you know, somewhat famous athletes will be on the train
Speaker 1: in New York on the way to the Mets game
Speaker 1: at two or three in the afternoon. Yeah, because it's
Speaker 1: a lot easier than sitting in traffic or risking traffic.
Speaker 1: And most of these guys, when you're on the subway,
Speaker 1: you usually just keep your head down or you're reading
Speaker 1: some thing, listening to music. You're not looking round to go.
Speaker 1: Is that Aussie Smith sitting next to me? Is that
Speaker 1: John Rocker on the seven train going out to Shaye State?
Speaker 1: Oh it is? Oh it is. Can you imagine it
Speaker 1: being a pro athlete where you thinking you might be late.
Speaker 1: How frantic you are? I mean, would you get out
Speaker 1: of your car and ask for police help? And I
Speaker 1: can imagine police helping in a local town. Well, they
Speaker 1: might not help if you're a visiting king. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: if you're supposed to pitch tonight there Max Scherzer at
Speaker 1: the Shaye Stadium or City bank Field or whatever it
Speaker 1: is by the way. I don't know if you know
Speaker 1: this or not, but so we have the traggers fired up.
Speaker 1: We have tofu. Mclovin wanted tofu and we have some brots.
Speaker 1: Today is National Hamburger Day, just throwing that out there,
Speaker 1: but it's also National Brisket Day. It's on National food Day.
Speaker 1: It can't be all those national it is. It is
Speaker 1: only check. You should know this. You're always good at.
Speaker 1: Every day is National Brisket Day around here or Hamburger Day. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: Just for the record, National Tofu Day September one, okay,
Speaker 1: and we'll celebrate accordingly. That's too close to football season
Speaker 1: for tofu. A couple of phone calls here, Well, Dan,
Speaker 1: you nailed it. It's National Hamburger Day, it's National Brisket Day,
Speaker 1: It's National road trip Day and National Cooler day. All
Speaker 1: great things. All of those things go perfectly together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: except for tofu. It's a road trip, brisket, hamburgers, bring
Speaker 1: your cooler. Leave the tofu at at home. So this
Speaker 1: is so tonight. When you guys are loading up on
Speaker 1: Hamburgers and brisket, you can feel good about yourselves. You
Speaker 1: had tofu for lunch. M Ryan and Honolulu Joints. This Ryan,
Speaker 1: good morning? How are you? Hello? Helloha? Ryan Todd's not

Speaker 1: a dorm that was poor form. She slammed the door
Speaker 1: and closed the LATCHI thank you, Ryan, that's gold star material.
Speaker 1: The accent always helps with Ryan. Poor Todd not here today,
Speaker 1: probably hearing that feverishly, you know, writing up a limerick here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've gotten over Jenny Batchy. I mean it, that's been
Speaker 1: about I'm guessing forty years How were you suh No,
Speaker 1: I was I was out. I think I was in college.
Speaker 1: Um yeah, yeah, Well that's humbling, you know when you
Speaker 1: when you you have those movies where, oh I love
Speaker 1: this girl, I'm gonna get in my car. I had
Speaker 1: my friends. I didn't have a car. I said to
Speaker 1: my friends. I said, hey, we're going to Miami University.
Speaker 1: Like you know, John Cusack can say anything is holding
Speaker 1: up that boombox and it works out for him. She
Speaker 1: didn't even give me a pen at the end of it. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: I've hit the age where a lot of the people
Speaker 1: I grew up with or like went to high school with,
Speaker 1: are on their second marriage marrying somebody from high school.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, first of one didn't work out, and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, no kidding, they're dating. They're getting
Speaker 1: married again. Wow, they dated the like sophomore year. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: Well I hope Jenny is still happily married and uh
Speaker 1: that her and her husband Tim everything is great. Yes,
Speaker 1: I had a girl at a high school reunion, not
Speaker 1: to mention you know, I'm very happy in my marriage
Speaker 1: of course. Yes, I think it was like a ten
Speaker 1: year high school reunion. So you're twenty eight and doing
Speaker 1: the quick math there and this girl I knew in
Speaker 1: high school. She goes, ah, you you're married and I'm
Speaker 1: like no, She's like, you're married in no, and we weren't,
Speaker 1: you know, we lived far away. She goes, how about
Speaker 1: this when we're when we're both forty, let's get married.
Speaker 1: I'm like, deal, and we like high five. Done it.
Speaker 1: I think it's a high five type of girl, which
Speaker 1: is marriage material. Did you call her when you turned forty?
Speaker 1: And I was very sorry, bad news, Yeah you missed out.
Speaker 1: And she's like, oh, I've been waiting this whole time.
Speaker 1: I thought we had something. You missed out on this.
Speaker 1: I thought we high five. Wait. So a girl who
Speaker 1: high fives you is marriage material? Yeah? Yeah, probably big
Speaker 1: tailgate girl Like she's kind who would go to the
Speaker 1: tailgate and get mad if you've tapped out early, like
Speaker 1: dive through a table type of gal. No, but she
Speaker 1: wouldn't buzz a mafia. Uh yeah close? Yeah, okay, McLevin.
Speaker 1: Did we settle on a pool question? See let's get
Speaker 1: away from us on a Friday? Yeah? Yeah, we had
Speaker 1: a question about his fan behavior worse. I think Derek
Speaker 1: Jeter's six tool player comment, who's accurate? I think I
Speaker 1: think we started. I want to know what Aaron Boone's
Speaker 1: face really looked like, because I think he was shocked.
Speaker 1: Remember my son Burned from earlier in the Weekenyes, he
Speaker 1: was that bright red. He was that bright red. Oh yeah,
