Speaker 2: show talk some baseball. Yankee broadcaster Michael Kay on the
Speaker 2: greatness of Aaron Judge. This year's season compared to two
Speaker 2: years ago, this season might be even better eight seven,
Speaker 2: seven to three DP show. We say good morning. If
Speaker 2: you're watching on Peacock, thank you downloading the app. That's
Speaker 2: our streaming partner and our radio affiliates around the country
Speaker 2: as well. iHeartRadio Fox Sports Radio. I have a pull
Speaker 2: question for you for the final hour of the program.
Speaker 2: Last night, it happened again. Now there's a couple of
Speaker 2: movie franchises when they're on and I'm flipping through. If
Speaker 2: the Equalizer is on with Denzel the Bourne Identity, with
Speaker 2: Matt Damon and Taken Liam Neeson.
Speaker 3: What if it was a draft that you could only
Speaker 3: pick one?
Speaker 4: Born's quick answer, Yeah, Born, Yeah, that's the right answer.
Speaker 2: I'm watching Taken. I don't know if it's one or
Speaker 2: two or three. But his daughter has been taken and
Speaker 2: he's got to go over and he's got to kill
Speaker 2: everybody on a boat. But I don't know if that's
Speaker 2: any different than Taking three or two or one. But
Speaker 2: I do watch. He has that ability to just he's
Speaker 2: there on camera and somebody is going to have hell
Speaker 2: to pay, and he's going to find you and he
Speaker 2: is going to kill you. Todd.
Speaker 5: I will hunt you down. I will find you, and we'll.
Speaker 2: Carry And I did think about that when I'm watching.
Speaker 2: And I don't even think he used that line in
Speaker 2: this movie that I saw, but I did. I if
Speaker 2: those movies are on, I'm watching, and sometimes I get
Speaker 2: the titles mixed up. I get the plot lines mixed up.
Speaker 2: Usually the plot lines are kind of the same with
Speaker 2: The Equalizer and Liam Neeson and Taken. They're somewhere and
Speaker 2: somebody is in trouble and somebody is gonna get killed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the person responsible for it, oftentimes is an
Speaker 4: Eastern European who never seems to leave a techno nightclub
Speaker 4: dance thing where there's flames shooting. Yeah, you're going to
Speaker 4: kill him. Wait, I thought you said you killed him.
Speaker 2: I did. I must do everything myself. And then there's
Speaker 2: like seven women draped all over him, and then he
Speaker 2: does his shot of vodka and then gets in his car.
Speaker 2: The chase scenes though, and Born are just unbelievable, unreal.
Speaker 2: So I go back to the French connection and when
Speaker 2: Gene Hackman is in the movie and I think that's
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy or seventy one. It's the first time I
Speaker 2: remember seeing a car chase where it felt like you
Speaker 2: were in the car. Now when you're watching Born, feels
Speaker 2: like you're driving it. They do such an unbelief of
Speaker 2: a bull job. But yeah, I did get caught up
Speaker 2: in that last night. And uh, no shame, no shame
Speaker 2: in telling you that phone calls. We'll get to those
Speaker 2: coming up. Jamar Chase is expected for week one, and uh,
Speaker 2: his head coach was asked about that possibility. Here's Zach Taylor,
Speaker 2: the Bengals head coach. What what's the.
Speaker 5: Plan for him moving forward this week? How much man?
Speaker 5: How has he looked so far in these in these
Speaker 5: first couple of practices back.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's he's a great You know, Sam Jama, I'm
Speaker 6: used too, And uh, the plan will be continue to
Speaker 6: practice with them.
Speaker 5: Has he given any indication if he wills there be
Speaker 5: any conversation about what his plans are for week one?
Speaker 5: Have you all had that discussion yet?
Speaker 2: He and I always have conversations, Zach, I think my
Speaker 2: my zoom may have cut out. Did you say the
Speaker 2: plan is for Jamorrow to be ready for week one?
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's going to practice this week and we'll just
Speaker 5: keep taking it from there. Are you competent he'll play
Speaker 5: week one? Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay. I think coach, you could have stopped this a
Speaker 2: lot sooner if when you were asked about Jamar, you
Speaker 2: know he's practicing. We hope he's going to be ready
Speaker 2: to play week one. Hey, come on, got to ask
Speaker 2: you four different questions to get is he going to
Speaker 2: be Do you expect him to play in week one? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, we're hoping that he's going to be able
Speaker 2: to practice. Do you think that he might be able
Speaker 2: to play? Yeah? I mean you know we talk all
Speaker 2: the time about this. Is he going to play in
Speaker 2: week one or not? Yeah? Yeah, he's gonna that's the goal.
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean it's not exactly like he's holding on
Speaker 4: too like the nuclear codes, like if your star wide
Speaker 4: receiver is going to play week one or not, it's
Speaker 4: not that good.
Speaker 2: Well, you can't give him any advantage.
Speaker 4: I'm not letting this out like it's not that big
Speaker 4: of a deal.
Speaker 2: Dude, vague questions, elicit vague responses. Jamar Chase playing in
Speaker 2: week one, and he'd say, as long as he stays
Speaker 2: healthy in practice. Okay, what are your plans for Jamar
Speaker 2: Chase in week one? Like just get the point? You know,
Speaker 2: they were kind of tap dancing a little bit there,
Speaker 2: and then coach like, they don't want to tell you anything.
Speaker 2: They go to these press conferences not wanting to tell
Speaker 2: you something. Yes, Tod is.
Speaker 6: That the new passive aggressive approach by my zoom may
Speaker 6: have cut outlet to make.
Speaker 2: Sure we all heard that was pretty good though, Yeah,
Speaker 2: my zoom cut out. Did you say that he's going
Speaker 2: to start?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna he's gonna play, Yes, poem.
Speaker 3: Does all sounded like when you asked Pritzy a question,
Speaker 3: you know, like you could ask Pritty any direct question
Speaker 3: and you'll you'll get like, is Jamar Cha's gonna start?
Speaker 2: What do you mean by start?
Speaker 5: Starting? You play?
Speaker 2: Play?
Speaker 3: What do you mean by play?
Speaker 6: There's a lot of scenarios there. It's just you know,
Speaker 6: it's kind of semantics starting.
Speaker 2: Well, when I do that with Todd, I'll say, hey,
Speaker 2: are you working out? I could be better? I could
Speaker 2: do better? No, you didn't answer my question, are you
Speaker 2: working out? I mean I I I could do I
Speaker 2: could I? I uh, Todd, we're seeing some friends at
Speaker 2: the gym and I flexed a couple of times.
Speaker 6: Does that cow that? I?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Todd? Are you are you exercising?
Speaker 5: I throw out the garbage? Or I did the dishwashing?
Speaker 2: That's the I know that you didn't do that.
Speaker 8: You know what?
Speaker 2: Speaking of movies, guess what I have right here in
Speaker 2: my hand. Got it from DraftKings Early Odds Best Picture
Speaker 2: Academy Award. Okay, you guys want to take a guess.
Speaker 2: There's a young heart throb might be dating somebody really
Speaker 2: really famous, and his movie right now is the favorite
Speaker 2: for the Academy Award Oscar for Best Picture. Spells his
Speaker 2: first name differently than you might expect. Timothy Timothy Shaloma.
Speaker 2: Dune Part two Okay, interesting, I gotta see Dune part
Speaker 2: one first apparently, but definitely done. Part two all right?
Speaker 2: The second I don't think I've seen any of these movies.
Speaker 2: The second favorite right now, according to DraftKings Best Picture
Speaker 2: Same that that there's two words and they're the same words.
Speaker 2: Sing sing? Was that a cartoon? I have no idea
Speaker 2: is that cartoon movie. I don't well, would a cartoon
Speaker 2: movie win Best Picture?
Speaker 4: Doesn't sing? A movie sing sing might be sing too.
Speaker 2: Okay, but it's sing sing which is also a prison
Speaker 2: so a different movie. Yeah, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 2: know anything about it. It's a cartoon movie about a
Speaker 2: prison where they sing sing sing.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 2: The third favorite has a football terminology in its title.
Speaker 4: Something about room, quarterback, room wide, receiver, room.
Speaker 2: I blitz, blitz. I've never even heard of that movie.
Speaker 2: I haven't heard of any of these. The next one
Speaker 2: is a Noora. I have no idea that that's the
Speaker 2: name of the movie. I was gonna say, dude, if
Speaker 2: that's the clue, come on, you find yes very anora
Speaker 2: ing all right? And then the next one is also
Speaker 2: something I find fritzy, A real pain, A real pain.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I haven't seen any of these movies.
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about these movies. Dang, I gotta
Speaker 2: get out more, Yes, Martin.
Speaker 10: But isn't every Oscar Best Picture nominee a movie you've
Speaker 10: never seen?
Speaker 9: Like?

Speaker 10: and a year out Besides Top Gun Maverick.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, and Save the Industry, Tom Cruise, Save the Industry.
Speaker 2: He gets credited with the save, Yes he does.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It feels like they like those movies that it's like
Speaker 2: everything all at once, parasite some of those movies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Pauline, I got last year's list, and the movies
Speaker 3: are like Oppenheimer, Barbie made it.
Speaker 2: That's those were big movies. Yeah, yeah, those were those

Speaker 2: Uh what was the uh what was the movie about
Speaker 2: the woman who start she runs off with the creature
Speaker 2: in the water. Huh oh yeah, uh the Shape of Water.
Speaker 2: Shape of Water. Yeah, yeah, Now I did watch it

Speaker 2: gone yeah right there that has Gone with the Wind.
Speaker 2: Ever seen it? Yeah?
Speaker 7: That?
Speaker 4: I never saw the one, the cartoon one that James
Speaker 4: Cameron did either.
Speaker 2: The Avatar. Never saw it. That made a billion too, Yeah,
Speaker 2: not watching it. I think he's made Avatar. A couple
Speaker 2: of them, both of them made a billion. Avatar of
Speaker 2: that Okay, we kind of what about three.
Speaker 6: Billboards in North Dakota whatever that.
Speaker 2: Was, that's grabbing, tired, that's that's Ebbings, Minnesota, Like three
Speaker 2: billboards outside Ebbings, Minnesota.
Speaker 5: With a clever movie title.
Speaker 2: Yeah, although what's his name? Ady Harrelson was in that, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but he's not the guy, oh, the other guy, racist
Speaker 2: cop Sam no worthing, No, No, but you're you're in that.
Speaker 2: It's Sam Rockwell. Sam Rockwell. He was awesome. Oh he's
Speaker 2: a good actor. He's one of those guys. He's a
Speaker 2: Ruffalo Mark Ruffalo kind of guy. He's a good actor. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's been some really good movies. We got into a
Speaker 2: conversation this morning my wife and I is, I'm getting
Speaker 2: ready to leave to entertain a nation, and she says
Speaker 2: something about Paul Rudd and I go, okay, and then
Speaker 2: she goes, you know, he he's kind of like the
Speaker 2: male version of Sandra Bullock. He's our sweetheart. I go,
Speaker 2: who's our sweetheart? And she goes, no one has anything
Speaker 2: negative to say about Paul Rudd. I go, you're right,
Speaker 2: but where's this coming from? She so, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just thought of it. So I'm like, all right,
Speaker 2: crushing on Paul Rudd right in front of me.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: See, according to.
Speaker 4: The Twitter, most of the movies that you've been mentioning
Speaker 4: right now haven't even been released yet. So that's probably
Speaker 4: why we haven't heard of him.
Speaker 2: Just as much.
Speaker 4: Well, Dune two is out, June two is out, but
Speaker 4: most of the ones, according to them, Oh that a
Speaker 4: lot of them aren't out yet.
Speaker 2: Dang, that's a lot of pressure. Yeah, who's got more pressure?
Speaker 2: Todd Fritz sing sing or Patrick Mahomes this year? Right there? Yes, ud,
Speaker 2: Jason Bateman comes to mind.
Speaker 6: I know we've kind of done this before. Very likable,
Speaker 6: No one really has a bad word to say. You
Speaker 6: look forward to seeing him.
Speaker 5: In the movies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but when he was doing Ozark, like he could
Speaker 2: be a bad guy. Paul Rudd is normally not a
Speaker 2: bad guy. Paul Rudd. Okay, who plays themselves better? Paul
Speaker 2: Rudd or Jason Bateman. It's a push. There's certain actors
Speaker 2: it just feels like they play themselves, which is.
Speaker 4: So unfair to just be born and then be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: it turns out I'm really good at being me. I
Speaker 4: guess I'll be an actor. Well, you know, when Happy
Speaker 4: to gill More Too. I'm being asked to play me
Speaker 4: and it's not easy. It's not easy, trust me, Bill
Speaker 4: and Dallas. Hi Bill, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8: Hey?
Speaker 6: Dan?
Speaker 7: Just five to eleven and a softest hard two five
Speaker 7: needed to call in to defense a little bit of
Speaker 7: Steve Martin slander from an earlier call.
Speaker 2: He must not be a wild.
Speaker 7: And crazy guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: You also watch some of his banjo videos during the
Speaker 7: Peacock commercial break one of the most incredible things you'll
Speaker 7: see today.
Speaker 2: Also, just watch.
Speaker 7: Grewn Upstu for the first time and absolutely how to
Speaker 7: your gym teacher character. I can't wait to see you
Speaker 7: happy Gilmore Too, but hopefully not as much as you.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. People wanted to know if Sam
Speaker 2: gave me a prop to where in my as the
Speaker 2: gym class teacher. No, he did not, but I just
Speaker 2: know that he did give me the outfit, anything to
Speaker 2: make me look silly. Sandler usually tries to do that.
Speaker 2: But I think I'm shooting my Happy Gilmore Too scene
Speaker 2: in here in the man Cave. Now. I don't know
Speaker 2: if that means you guys might get in the scene,
Speaker 2: but I am shooting it. I think in studio, because
Speaker 2: Sailor goes, do you want us to build a set
Speaker 2: for you? And I go, well, why don't I just
Speaker 2: do it here in my studio? He goes, I like it, Danny.
Speaker 2: I like it, Danny. Yes.
Speaker 3: Yes, So we haven't been asked to leave the building
Speaker 3: during the shoot. Now that's a good sign.
Speaker 2: No, there's still a chance that you guys may be
Speaker 2: a cutaway. I don't know, maybe we could work in
Speaker 2: a line there or something like that. Charles in Florida, Hi,
Speaker 2: Charles Woods on your mind?
Speaker 7: Hey?
Speaker 2: DP, how are you spectacular?
Speaker 11: Two quick things? Anybody that says Josh Allen is overrated,
Speaker 11: I mean, these guys are out of their minds. He
Speaker 11: single handedly almost beat the Chiefs dynasty two different times,
Speaker 11: put the whole team on his back. So I got
Speaker 11: to totally disagree with that. The most overrated quarterback by
Speaker 11: far is Dak Prescott. I'm a Cowboys fan and I
Speaker 11: can't even watch it anymore. It's awful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he played really well last year, and the
Speaker 2: expectations like there's a certain personality trait you must have
Speaker 2: to be the quarterback of the Cowboys and deflect and
Speaker 2: not take everything so personally and Dak has done a
Speaker 2: pretty good job of that. And I know we get
Speaker 2: to the postseason, it's it can't be all on him
Speaker 2: that they win thirteen games or he doesn't get credit.
Speaker 2: But he only gets blamed when they get to the postseason.
Speaker 2: He's a really good quarterback. Has it, you know, ended
Speaker 2: like a Greek track the last couple of years. It has.
Speaker 2: But I do think he's a I think he's overcovered.
Speaker 2: There's the difference overcovered and as opposed to overrated, Like
Speaker 2: Lebron is overcovered. Lebron's not overrated. Lebron's overcovered. Therefore, it's like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, bal out of the playoffs early. The expectation
Speaker 2: level is so high in social media. It's just different
Speaker 2: now for these athletes. Yeah, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 10: Quick question about rock perty Will he go from underrated
Speaker 10: to overrated once he gets paid?
Speaker 2: Yes? Okay, yeah, because then we're going to go you're
Speaker 2: paying in fifty five million and he's only throwing nineteen
Speaker 2: touched whatever it is going to be. I mean, there's
Speaker 2: somebody's going to go after him, because if you sit
Speaker 2: here and compliment people all day, you know, people don't
Speaker 2: want to hear that. They want to know if you
Speaker 2: have an opinion about somebody, or you make up an
Speaker 2: opinion about somebody just to get clicked. All right, let
Speaker 2: me take a break. We'll talk about Aaron Judge's season
Speaker 2: coming up. Michael Kay, the Yankee podcaster, will stop. Buy
Speaker 2: more of your phone calls as well. Take a break

Speaker 2: Learn more. M busa dot com slash dream. He's the
Speaker 2: voice of the Yankees. He's Michael kay Back on the program. Mike,
Speaker 2: thanks for joining us. If I would have told you
Speaker 2: before the season started Aaron Judge would be on pace
Speaker 2: to hit sixty home runs again, you would have said what.
Speaker 5: I would say. I could see it happening, but it
Speaker 5: wasn't likely because you know, in twenty twenty two, we
Speaker 5: felt that that was a once in a lifetime thing.
Speaker 5: So I wouldn't bet on it because I just think
Speaker 5: that these are so unusual. But now I start to
Speaker 5: think that if he didn't run into the wall at
Speaker 5: Dodger Stadium last year, maybe he would have made a
Speaker 5: run at sixty as well. He's just on that kind
Speaker 5: of role right now where he's the best hitter in baseball.
Speaker 2: I wondered about his swing or I wonder about his
Speaker 2: swing when you first saw him and it felt like
Speaker 2: somebody that size and having a long swing. Could he
Speaker 2: continue to have that success when his bat you know,
Speaker 2: slowed down. He's thirty two and having probably the best
Speaker 2: year of his career. So how do you handicap that
Speaker 2: swing of his as he you know, gets to be
Speaker 2: thirty five, thirty six years of age.
Speaker 5: You know what, He's a really smart player, Dan, and
Speaker 5: I think that what he's done is he's turned it
Speaker 5: into a science because he actually cares about batting average
Speaker 5: and his strikeouts are actually down from his rookie year
Speaker 5: when he hit fifty two home runs that year. I
Speaker 5: mean I even talked to Joe Juraradi about it. You know,
Speaker 5: nobody could envision this. Nobody could have dreamed this big,
Speaker 5: that he'd be a three thirty hitter and be on
Speaker 5: face for sixty three home runs. But that's what he is,
Speaker 5: So you would be led to believe that if in fact,
Speaker 5: he's going to get older and you know, the laws
Speaker 5: of physics take over and he's going to have a
Speaker 5: slower back, I think he'll be able to make it work.
Speaker 5: I think he's got a lot more in the tank.
Speaker 5: Remember he got called up late because he went to college.
Speaker 5: So if he wants to do great things in a
Speaker 5: compiling sense, he's got a hit to He's thirty seven,
Speaker 5: and I think he's going to.
Speaker 2: Who's having a better season, Aaron Judge or show Hey Otani.
Speaker 5: I think Judge is simply because of the fact that
Speaker 5: he's playing the field. You know, Otani's unbelievable. He's stolen
Speaker 5: over forty bases and that's something that Judge doesn't do.
Speaker 5: I think Judge could steal more bases if he wanted to,
Speaker 5: but it's imperative that he stay healthy. But he's playing
Speaker 5: center field most of the time, so I'd say that
Speaker 5: he's probably having a better season.
Speaker 2: Was there ever a time when you thought, or maybe
Speaker 2: Yankee fans thought you were getting Otani?
Speaker 5: I thought at the beginning they did. I mean that's
Speaker 5: the reason the Yankees have Stanton because once they lost
Speaker 5: out on Otani, they really thought that they were going
Speaker 5: to get Otani, and then they pivoted and made the
Speaker 5: trade for Stanton. And I remember sitting next to Otani
Speaker 5: on the day I said a Baseball writers dinner in
Speaker 5: New York, and you know, he had signed with the Angels,
Speaker 5: and he said to me, said, why are people so upset?
Speaker 5: I said, because they really wanted you to be a Yankee.
Speaker 5: He goes, well, maybe one day, but that's not going
Speaker 5: to happen. I think he likes it on the West Coast,
Speaker 5: and at the end of this ten year contract, I
Speaker 5: don't think the Yankees will pursue him.
Speaker 2: What about Jan Sodo.
Speaker 5: I'm one of the people who believe this, and I
Speaker 5: don't think it's something that people want to embrace. Everyone says, oh,
Speaker 5: he loves being a Yankee, and the fans love him
Speaker 5: and they showed him sets love. He'll definitely sign with
Speaker 5: the Yankees. He's definitely gonna sign with the team that
Speaker 5: offers him the most money. I mean, you don't have
Speaker 5: Scott Boris as an agent to take a discount. That's
Speaker 5: just not the way it works. And maybe it's going
Speaker 5: to be the Yankees that give him the most money.
Speaker 5: The only thing I would actually bend a little bit
Speaker 5: on Dan is if it's close. I think he is
Speaker 5: enjoying his time. He knows the power of hitting in
Speaker 5: front of Judge and the fans, and Soto from opening
Speaker 5: day this year have had a love affair. So if
Speaker 5: there's a difference between a million dollars for one year
Speaker 5: over a ten fifteen year period, I could see him saying, Okay,
Speaker 5: go to the Yankees. But let's say the Mets and
Speaker 5: Steve Cohen they offer him sixty million a year and
Speaker 5: the Yankees offer him fifty. He could love the Yankees
Speaker 5: all he wants. He loved being with the Nationals and
Speaker 5: he turned down four hundred and forty million dollars. So
Speaker 5: I think it's going to come down to a business transaction,
Speaker 5: and I think emotions is going to be pushed to
Speaker 5: the side.
Speaker 2: Best team in the American League is who.
Speaker 5: I think it's between the Yankees and the Orioles. But
Speaker 5: if you want to ask me who do I fear
Speaker 5: the most, it's probably the Astros. I don't think they're
Speaker 5: the best team, but they have the institutional knowledge of
Speaker 5: having to get to the ALCS. So if I'm the
Speaker 5: Yankees and the Orioles, that would be the team that
Speaker 5: scares me the most. I mean, in an eye blink,
Speaker 5: they went from ten out to buy five and a
Speaker 5: half six over and in front of the Mariners and
Speaker 5: got the Mariner manager fired as well. So the Astros
Speaker 5: scared me the most, and I'd say that the Yankees
Speaker 5: and and the Orioles are the two best teams in
Speaker 5: the league.
Speaker 2: You look at a Yankee Dodger World Series.
Speaker 5: I would like that. That would be fun. I think
Speaker 5: it would be good for baseball. I see Otani and
Speaker 5: Judge on the same field. I think that would be great,
Speaker 5: and it would bring me back to eighty one and
Speaker 5: seventy seven and seventy eight. But I'll tell you what
Speaker 5: on my radio show, Dan, all I take is Yankee
Speaker 5: fans talking about this Judge scenes means nothing unless they
Speaker 5: go to the World Series. I mean that's the way
Speaker 5: they've been programmed. So I really can't get upset with them.
Speaker 5: But it's so hard to get to the World Series.
Speaker 5: The last time a team went back to back was
Speaker 5: the Yankee So there's just so many layers of playoffs
Speaker 5: to get there. I mean, Brian Cashman calls it a
Speaker 5: crap shoot. I don't know if it's quite a crap shoot,
Speaker 5: but I do know it's really really tough to do.
Speaker 5: So what I like to see the Yankees and the Dodgers,
Speaker 5: maybe the Yankees and the Philly Sure, Yankees and the
Speaker 5: Mets would be fun. I think there are legitimately ten
Speaker 5: teams that could go to the World Series.
Speaker 2: What was your reaction when the story came amount that
Speaker 2: the Yankees could honor Alex Rodriguez.
Speaker 5: Should honor or that they actually invited him to Oldzeimer's Day.
Speaker 2: Well, no, I thought that there was something about ay
Speaker 2: Rod talking about, you know, being put out in Memorial
Speaker 2: Park or out there with all the legends.
Speaker 5: A lot of people were asked at during Oldzheimer's Day.
Speaker 5: I think the fact that Alex was invited to Old
Speaker 5: Timer's Day, if you asked me that six years ago, yeah, okay,
Speaker 5: that's going to happen. So time does heal some wounds.
Speaker 5: And when he was introduced to the Crab, there was
Speaker 5: a lot of love that came his way that warren't booze.
Speaker 5: There were cheers for sure, not the most of any Yankee.
Speaker 5: That still goes to Derek Jeter. I think it's a
Speaker 5: long way from putting into Monument Park. I really do.
Speaker 5: I mean, this is a guy and I think if
Speaker 5: you look at his numbers, just look at his numbers,
Speaker 5: six hundred and ninety six home runs, three MVPs, two
Speaker 5: of them with the Yankees a great World Series running
Speaker 5: on nine. He deserves to be out there for that.
Speaker 5: But this guy was also suspended from baseball per year
Speaker 5: and he was suing the team. So I mean, there
Speaker 5: have to be a lot of a lot of wounds
Speaker 5: that have to be healed before that would ever happen.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't I would never say never, but it would
Speaker 5: be tough.
Speaker 2: But the Yankees love to celebrate these things, even though
Speaker 2: I wouldn't celebrate a Rod with putting him out there.
Speaker 2: And I misspoke Memorial Monument Park, but hey, it's the
Speaker 2: Yankee franchise. They do what they want to do. But
Speaker 2: it seems like a Rod's still like how do you
Speaker 2: curry favor to get in the Hall of Fame? And like,
Speaker 2: I just don't know. He's been relevant doing the Fox games,
Speaker 2: the ESPN stuff, and then I just wonder, is he
Speaker 2: ever going to get into the Baseball Hall of Fame
Speaker 2: having been popped twice with steroids.
Speaker 5: I don't think he will. I don't think he will
Speaker 5: unless there's a seismic change of the people that are voting.
Speaker 5: You know, people have said, well, you know, people will
Speaker 5: die off and there'll be a younger generation of voters. Okay,
Speaker 5: then it's ten years on the ballot will be over
Speaker 5: and then it'll be the hands of some kind of veterans.
Speaker 5: And I think a lot of the players want to
Speaker 5: keep the ped guys out. The sad part is Dan.
Speaker 5: Of all the people that have been kept out, like
Speaker 5: Bonds and Clemens and the like, the one that it
Speaker 5: hurts the most is a Rod because he is such
Speaker 5: a lover of baseball and he understands the history of
Speaker 5: the game and what it means to be in Cooperstown
Speaker 5: that would mean the world to him. But he also
Speaker 5: knows that he messed up in a big way. So
Speaker 5: I'm not sure he'll ever get into COOPERSTOWND just not.
Speaker 2: You bring up a valid point, and I've heard that
Speaker 2: before that you get younger voters, they aren't as offended
Speaker 2: by steroids. And I had Tim Kirchin on the show
Speaker 2: recently and I said, it is a museum, and there's
Speaker 2: a lot of things in museums that aren't attached to
Speaker 2: good people, but they're still in a museum. Are we
Speaker 2: treating the Hall of Fame like it's a little to
Speaker 2: pristine instead of let's use it to tell the story
Speaker 2: of Baseball.
Speaker 5: All due respect, and because you know I idolize you,
Speaker 5: I hate that argument.
Speaker 8: Hate it.
Speaker 5: It is a museum and he's in that museum. Pete
Speaker 5: Rose is in that museum. That doesn't mean they get
Speaker 5: a plaque. The plot is the ultimate in the Baseball
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame. So there are displays. You've got Pete
Speaker 5: Rose's back there, You've got Alex Rodriguez something from the
Speaker 5: two thousand and nine World Series. So everybody is represented
Speaker 5: in the story of baseball. But just because it's a
Speaker 5: museum doesn't mean that they have to get a plaque.
Speaker 5: And that's where I would draw the line. And as
Speaker 5: for the I think you bring up a great point
Speaker 5: about it's treated as if it's a church. It's a sacrament.
Speaker 5: It's sacrilegious if you would let somebody in that I
Speaker 5: don't like and I love the way the baseball writers
Speaker 5: hold on to this and do treat it that way.
Speaker 5: But the one thing that they've messed up on, because
Speaker 5: I just watched the Pete Rose documentary on Max, the
Speaker 5: fact that they were ever had that Pete Rose vote
Speaker 5: taken out of their hands. They should have said, we
Speaker 5: will never vote for another player unless you let us
Speaker 5: vote for Pete Rose. That doesn't mean Pete Rose deserves
Speaker 5: to get in, but they should be the ones that decide.
Speaker 5: Once it was taken out of their hands. It shows
Speaker 5: you how much they just love that boat and how
Speaker 5: much it means to them, because they should have stepped
Speaker 5: away and said, unless you give us a chance to
Speaker 5: vote on this guy, because we've done right by this hall,
Speaker 5: we've kept bad guys out, we've kept pd guys out.
Speaker 5: We should be allowed to vote for Pete Rose. And
Speaker 5: once the Baseball Hall of Fame took that out of
Speaker 5: the hands, they should say, okay, find another way to
Speaker 5: vote people in because we're out. But they didn't do that,
Speaker 5: and that's on them.
Speaker 2: Well, you get people have this argument, Michael, and that is, Hey,
Speaker 2: Bonds was a Hall of Famer before he cheated. Hey
Speaker 2: Clemens was a Hall of And I said, it doesn't matter,
Speaker 2: like you could be Father of the Year in two
Speaker 2: thousand and eight and then all of a sudden, you're
Speaker 2: abusing your wife, Like just because you were something doesn't
Speaker 2: mean that's what you are. It's the totality of your career.
Speaker 2: And I never buy that. Was Bond's a Hall of Fame, Yes,
Speaker 2: he was well on his way. Clemens, I don't think
Speaker 2: was until he went to Toronto and then after that that
Speaker 2: things changed there. Sammy Sosa's name never comes up as
Speaker 2: one of those guys like what about I mean, he
Speaker 2: had four seasons of hitting over sixty home runs. I
Speaker 2: don't know. It feels like Bonds, Clemens, but never Sosa.
Speaker 2: So I don't like we kind of pick and choose
Speaker 2: who should shouldn't, why they should, why they shouldn't, And
Speaker 2: even Pete, if you cheat when you're in graduate school,
Speaker 2: I don't take away your undergraduate degree. If he bet
Speaker 2: as a manager. Now do I think he bet as
Speaker 2: a player, I do. I don't have any you know,
Speaker 2: any reference with that, but I just do. I don't
Speaker 2: think he started once he became a manager. But I
Speaker 2: can't take away what he did as an undergrad. Michael
Speaker 2: that he that's a Hall of Fame baseball career. And
Speaker 2: I know what he did as a manager. He bet
Speaker 2: on baseball.
Speaker 5: Well, p Rose is a really complicated case because the
Speaker 5: only thing to have proof of is the fact that
Speaker 5: he as a manager. He never bet. As a player,
Speaker 5: he would not be getting in as a manager. He'd
Speaker 5: be getting in his guy with the most hits in
Speaker 5: the history of baseball. But it's a tough thing to
Speaker 5: delineate on and say, Okay, you separate the guy because
Speaker 5: I'm sure you Shoe was Shoe Jackson never bet on baseball,
Speaker 5: you know, the Black Sop scandal. Should he be in
Speaker 5: because of the stuff he did before that? I think
Speaker 5: it's the one whole thing. It's not just like, it's
Speaker 5: not a sizzle of buffet to get the whole thing?
Speaker 2: Uh? Could we should we look at Aaron Judges the
Speaker 2: single season home run chimp?
Speaker 5: I think that I don't want to cop out, but
Speaker 5: I think that's everybody's individual preference. If you if you
Speaker 5: look at bombs and you think that it was ill
Speaker 5: gotten Gains and Sosa and Maguire, than he is. If
Speaker 5: you think, okay, everybody was doing it and there were
Speaker 5: pitchers that were doing it, then he's not the best
Speaker 5: thing he has going for him is at least he
Speaker 5: knows he's the American League single season home run record holder.
Speaker 5: Is he better than bonb The sad part is Dan
Speaker 5: he had the worst April that you could possibly have
Speaker 5: the worst. If he actually had just a decent April,
Speaker 5: they'd be people talking about him getting seventy three, and
Speaker 5: then he would erase all of this nonsense and there'd
Speaker 5: be no more asterisks anymore. But the fact that he
Speaker 5: had a bad April means that he's going to go
Speaker 5: for sixty two again and probably not going to go
Speaker 5: for seventy three.
Speaker 2: You think he could hit seventy three.
Speaker 5: I do. I do now. As he gets older, I
Speaker 5: think it becomes less likely. But if he had that
Speaker 5: great if he had an April where he had nine
Speaker 5: home runs rather than what he did have. I mean
Speaker 5: he hit him at two hundred in April. He looked
Speaker 5: lost where people were saying something's wrong with him. He
Speaker 5: just didn't have enough at bats in spring training. If
Speaker 5: he had a decent April, I think he'd be making
Speaker 5: a run at seventy three. I really do, because he
Speaker 5: is so locked in right now and it's not just
Speaker 5: brute Paul force that he does out there. He's really
Speaker 5: thinking up there, and he's become a much more cerebral hitter.
Speaker 5: I think he could have done it this year. I
Speaker 5: don't know. Next year is a year older, I'm not sure,
Speaker 5: but this year he could have done it.
Speaker 2: And you see right handed hitters you know that they
Speaker 2: used the entire field. I remember Dale Murphy, you know,
Speaker 2: kept saying that they you know, there were pitches that
Speaker 2: he could hit out of the park to right center,
Speaker 2: and he became really good at doing that because he
Speaker 2: was trying to pull everything. And I see, Judge, that's
Speaker 2: a smart hitter. Even if you don't hit a home run.
Speaker 2: Use the pitch to your advantage, use the ballpark to
Speaker 2: your advantage. So you can see a thought process when
Speaker 2: he's up there. A lot of these guys just go
Speaker 2: up there and swing, but he's thinking when he's in there.
Speaker 5: Also, Yankee Stadium is built for him, so just a
Speaker 5: fly ball a right field. I'm not saying he has
Speaker 5: a lot of these home runs because most of them
Speaker 5: go four hundred and fifty feet, but it's good if
Speaker 5: you're going to break a record, to have one dunk
Speaker 5: into the short fortune right two or three times a
Speaker 5: year because that gives you a little bit of a run.
Speaker 5: He's just a brilliant, brilliant hitter. And again, I did
Speaker 5: not envision a guy who's going to hit over three
Speaker 5: hundred when he hit the fifty two home runs as
Speaker 5: a rookie. He's just he's gotten so much better as
Speaker 5: a baseball player and so much smarter. And really, Dan,
Speaker 5: I don't know if you've ever stood next to him,
Speaker 5: He's a giant. They're on baseball players that look like that.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm six foot four and I feel small
Speaker 5: next to him. Paul O'Neil is six foot six and
Speaker 5: he's looking up at him. It's just an amazing thing
Speaker 5: that a guy that size could have that kind of
Speaker 5: athletic ability and also the computer of a brain to
Speaker 5: process all the information that's coming his way for him
Speaker 5: to hit three hundred, and he's one of the few
Speaker 5: home run hitters Dan that really does care about batting average.
Speaker 5: He's not Joey Gallo who's willing to hit forty and
Speaker 5: hit one seventy. He takes a lot of pride to
Speaker 5: hitting three hundred, and he's going to hit three hundred.
Speaker 5: He might even win the batting title. That Bobby Wood
Speaker 5: Junior goes into a little bit of a slump.
Speaker 2: Great to talk to you. You're in postseason four, You're
Speaker 2: ready to go. Don't screw it up, Mike, Mike, thank you, Michael,
Speaker 2: thank you. That's Michael kay Yankee, play by play broadcaster
Speaker 2: on Yes network, batting average still means something to me.
Speaker 2: It may not to analytics, but it does to me.
Speaker 2: I mean, okay, I'm not asking much, but you know,
Speaker 2: the Mendoza line is now lower than two hundred, Like
Speaker 2: we have to change the Mendoza line and name it
Speaker 2: after some other player because it's named after what is it,
Speaker 2: Mario Mendoza. That's the two hundred batting average? Can we
Speaker 2: look at like two fifty? Is that asking too much?
Speaker 2: One of these days, if I'm still alive, you're gonna
Speaker 2: get guys who may bunt in the game, guys who
Speaker 2: may have a hit and run. We got the stolen
Speaker 2: base back. You know, we're slowly creeping back, slowly, slowly.
Speaker 2: Take a break, Last call for phone calls? What we
Speaker 2: learn back after this.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio wapp.
Speaker 2: Last call for phone calls, What we learn? What's in
Speaker 2: store tomorrow? All of that coming up?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mentioned the Mendoza line and is it former
Speaker 2: pirate Mario Mendoza. You're correct, yes, and that is part
Speaker 2: of baseball. The glossary of terms. I think Mendoza line
Speaker 2: is part of like the actual terminology.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you go to MLB dot com, they have
Speaker 3: a glossary we could learn about like you know, like
Speaker 3: the sixty day DL or chin music. But it's a
Speaker 3: real deep glossary of different things like can of corn.
Speaker 3: You could find out the origin of cannon corn. You
Speaker 3: could find out the origin of the hot stove, all
Speaker 3: the things that people take for granted and basement. It's
Speaker 3: really the glossary is kind of like Southpaw. What's it
Speaker 3: referring to? Everyone knows that, but where did it come from?
Speaker 3: It's in the MLB glossary.
Speaker 2: Yes, Tom So, would you rather have a serious injury
Speaker 2: named after you?
Speaker 6: Although many players have come back from that so there's
Speaker 6: a positive to it, or be known for the bottom
Speaker 6: bottom of a low batting average, which would be acceptable
Speaker 6: for a major leaguer to be hitting.
Speaker 2: I'd rather be known for Tommy John surgery because he
Speaker 2: on like two hundred and eighty eight games. Then Mario Mendoza,
Speaker 2: who's known for his ineptitude.
Speaker 6: Strictly the surgery part. Forget about what time you John?
Speaker 6: A comboy says an actual player. Well, you could separate
Speaker 6: the two.
Speaker 2: Maybe you can't, I can't. It's Tommy John. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 2: this is.
Speaker 3: Actually quite fun. But I'm a nerd painting the black.
Speaker 3: You know when they say a pitture is painting the
Speaker 3: black when he's pitching, that refers to a pitch that's
Speaker 3: a strike, but it barely catches the outside corner. The
Speaker 3: origin home plate is mostly a white slab, but is
Speaker 3: bordered on all five sides by a thin black strip. Thus,
Speaker 3: a pitcher who's frequently hitting the corners and striking people
Speaker 3: out is painting the black.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about that? Yeah, I was aware of them. Yeah.
Speaker 2: If you look at a home plate or when we
Speaker 2: grew up, the outline of it is in black. That's
Speaker 2: where I lived. I lived, not painting the black. I
Speaker 2: remember throwing a fastball to a guy I played in
Speaker 2: this semi pro league in Cincinnati, and I threw a
Speaker 2: pitch and I thought, I'm going to overpower this guy.
Speaker 2: He hit a rocket that I never saw. I heard
Speaker 2: it go by my head. That's when I knew you're
Speaker 2: not fooling anybody if you're throwing it really hard. He
Speaker 2: hit this ball so damn hard. I wanted to walk
Speaker 2: off the mound because I just heard it whiz by me.
Speaker 2: And then it was some guy who played, you know,
Speaker 2: minor league baseball. You know a lot of these guys
Speaker 2: had played minor league baseball, but it was a Twilight
Speaker 2: league in Cincinnati. Oh my god, scared me to death.
Speaker 2: He's like, did that ball? And I remember asking a
Speaker 2: teammate how close did that come to hitting my head?
Speaker 2: And they go, it wasn't that close. It was that
Speaker 2: loud that you would have thought it was like two
Speaker 2: inches away from my noggin.
Speaker 5: Tho.
Speaker 4: There were few things worse though than pitching, and just
Speaker 4: like a comebacker, because the minute the ball gets out
Speaker 4: of your hand, it feels like it's right in front
Speaker 4: of your face, right back again.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's terrifying. Yes, well, there was a
Speaker 2: play in the Dodger game where I think Flaherty had
Speaker 2: a liner came right back, right back towards his head.
Speaker 2: It was so it's so quick, like the reaction time
Speaker 2: crazy crazy. Yeah, uh Aldo in California, I Aldo, what's
Speaker 2: on your mind?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 5: Dan?
Speaker 9: Five eleven and a cozy two thirty. All right, I'm
Speaker 9: part of the DP club. That's the Dead Parents Club. Anyways,
Speaker 9: since you mentioned that for Happy Gilmore two, they're going
Speaker 9: to be shooting your man cave. If the dan Ets
Speaker 9: are represented in the film, which famous actor would they
Speaker 9: want them to play them in the movie.
Speaker 2: I know, I think we've kind of already gone around
Speaker 2: the room on this on what.
Speaker 4: The actor they look like. How many times can we
Speaker 4: mention Ryan Gosling in one?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yes, well, you try to mention it as often as possible.
Speaker 2: I did watch the end of White Men Can't Jump
Speaker 2: last night. Yeah, I got I got stuck in this
Speaker 2: vortex of Liam Neeson and taken, and then I flipped
Speaker 2: over I saw, you know, White Men Can't Jump, and
Speaker 2: I thought, all right, let me let me see Billy,
Speaker 2: see how he's doing. And then Rosie Press, who I love,
Speaker 2: but uh, you know, the movie's okay. I mean the
Speaker 2: fact that he's trying to dunk. I mean, come on,
Speaker 2: what he couldn't play for his high school team in
Speaker 2: Ohio when we played against them. He's not gonna dunk.
Speaker 2: Get out of here. Yes time.
Speaker 6: We had Rosie Press in the show a while back
Speaker 6: and she was like fantastic, Yeah, you guys had like
Speaker 6: a great report from Like.
Speaker 2: I thought, there was something going on there.
Speaker 6: Was It was a little wonderfully awkward. I don't know
Speaker 6: how you were described, but there was something there.
Speaker 2: I thought, Man, we're vibing big time, and uh, white
Speaker 2: Man's gonna jump jump your bone. What get out of here?
Speaker 2: Marvin said, huh huh. Rosie Press had a run.
Speaker 10: She did like ninety four a keeen twenty thirteen, lebron
Speaker 10: six covidnous mtp SSON a couple of times.
Speaker 2: And uh, what was the Spike Lee movie thing?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 10: She was the Jordan Dynasty.
Speaker 2: She was, she was great, she was fun. Man, she
Speaker 2: caused some people to do the wrong thing. Whoa when
Speaker 2: she was when Spike Lee. She told me the story
Speaker 2: Spike Lee comes over to her house and wants to
Speaker 2: talk to her about being in that movie do the
Speaker 2: right thing. And they sit at the kitchen table, and
Speaker 2: she said a relative had a machete and was sitting
Speaker 2: at the table and put the machete down because there
Speaker 2: is some nudity in there, and they wanted to make
Speaker 2: sure that Spike Lee was being on the up and
Speaker 2: up with their sister. And I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: put the machete down on the table. Let me see
Speaker 2: what do we have here? Mike in California?
Speaker 8: Hi, Mike, Hey, Dan five eight one eight. I grew
Speaker 8: up a Dodger fan and Steve Garvey was the man
Speaker 8: for several years, and I wonder if he will ever
Speaker 8: make the Hall of Fame. I wonder what your opinion
Speaker 8: is on that? And uh, then I got a movie
Speaker 8: question too.
Speaker 2: Okay, what's your movie question? Real quick?
Speaker 8: You guys were talking about Sam Rockwell earlier. I heard
Speaker 8: that he was going to play Merle Haggard in a
Speaker 8: bio pick and that would be right up my alley.
Speaker 8: And I'm wondering if you could put your feelers out
Speaker 8: and see if that's all right.
Speaker 2: I'll see what I can do. Steve Garvey always seemed
Speaker 2: like a Hall of Famer to me. I know he
Speaker 2: didn't have the numbers, but it always felt like Steve
Speaker 2: Garvey was a Hall of Famer. Todd, what did you
Speaker 2: learn today?
Speaker 5: At a pub in.
Speaker 6: Maine, you were immediately asked if you played benjos As
Speaker 6: the woman thought you looked like Steve Martin.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I took it as a compliment kind of. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's handsome as can be, obviously seton What did you
Speaker 2: learn today?
Speaker 4: Marty Smith called his hair a wonder of the world. Yeah,
Speaker 4: eighth wonder, Marvin, Would you learn? With reporters, it's never
Speaker 4: off the record, Paulie would you Learn?
Speaker 3: According to IMDb, Sam Rockwell is part of an untitled
