2:02

well man excited for this

2:04

this game tonight as i'm sure you are

2:06

now being that you are with the braves

2:09

you get a look at his met team quite a bit

2:12

i just curious from your perspective

2:14

how what do you think of the twenty twenty

2:17

two new york mets and how to like them this area's

2:19

did it against the as well

2:21

the world this the in this think that's

2:23

one thing we we can agree on can think of

2:25

times last couple years when you watch the match

2:28

they weren't they was disciplined

2:30

was n n of assad you

2:32

see them play with i also what

2:35

you got edwin you got it when be as

2:37

who has been outstanding and

2:39

you know when you look at what it would be as can do

2:42

from a closing standpoint you know i

2:44

mean it's a it's the little

2:47

with for them compared and the path

2:49

bike into one thing that will be interesting as

2:51

time goes on guy is to see

2:53

the power the seemed of not and hit a lot a home

2:55

run y'all know well why

2:57

do you know you look at the yankees you look at the

2:59

braves these teams have you know big

3:01

home on hour and a lot of time are

3:04

able to when in october

3:06

they're going to have to make a move jeff i would think

3:08

for a bad because i guess i'm i'm with

3:10

you

3:11

that they're going to need the power now you just

3:13

wonder soto aside does

3:16

it does a bell does abandoned ten the

3:18

does a men

3:20

seaney are these names that float

3:22

your boat as far as supplying some of the power

3:24

they're missing

3:26

you know a good i think closer

3:28

to the team i'd call last year i mean you know you

3:30

saw the guys a guy was somewhere

3:33

the on and they want huge you

3:36

know pick up to canada

3:39

the coming back and so i i look at

3:41

it like

3:42

it'll be interesting to see which way they decide to go

3:44

but i do things are going to have that some authors

3:46

the one good thing you know when you get jack up the ground

3:49

he comes back in itself the

3:51

him and scherzer i don't there's

3:54

a better one two punch a baseball at photos

3:56

got your help you percent so that helps so

3:59

yeah

3:59

the right now in the in the back of every mets

4:02

fan jeff the question of course is that if

4:04

around jacob de graham and

4:06

when we actually see him

4:08

looking like jacob de gramma yeah now

4:11

it in atlanta the outside of new

4:13

york do a lot of people talk about the

4:15

long term durability of like underground

4:19

you know i think so i think like

4:21

anything was disguised put a lot of money

4:23

your new york or whether yourself goes mouth

4:25

but you have to sure you're helping in this

4:28

is one thing i'm be a very dot there's

4:30

some players and for

4:33

it

4:34

you know if a guy can stay healthy

4:36

you know what i don't mind paying auto

4:38

eight in that little thing i think about judge

4:41

with the yankees this is a second year now where

4:43

he's been healthier than out there every day

4:45

the ipo i could dansby swanson for the braves

4:48

three that he played and so those

4:50

guys if they're healthy they're worth

4:52

every penny if gop and

4:54

put up put up the numbers like

4:56

you said you know if you just gotta be able to be healthy

5:00

when the yankees perspective it looks like

5:02

they're hot on soto but with jeff would

5:04

you have the acquisition of a

5:06

one soto come at the expense of not having

5:08

the prospects to the add to this

5:10

rotation or get another arm in the bullpen

5:13

yeah i think it'll be interesting to see what happens

5:16

without because of the you know

5:18

when you watch yeah you

5:20

know what sorry just wanted by

5:22

ultimately what you look little one solo

5:24

got it he trade i'm is it just

5:26

so you know this time is what's your side

5:29

of the long time i will say this i

5:31

think our judges the dot they all

5:33

the idea of a guy like wants soda might use

5:35

it said pure

5:38

ahead of before you might have to that players

5:40

on on t cel would

5:42

be here again what's the cost that

5:44

you're giving up and can you overcome

5:46

and i think that's be the big

5:48

thing i can imagine many teeth able

5:50

to get a wants soda why

5:52

i think it's a select few now

5:56

you mention their judge been their the

5:58

best player baseball

6:01

when you really breakdown the stats soldier

6:04

you really see how over the last couple

6:06

years the last three years since alonzo has been with

6:08

them

6:09

his job or maybe even more impressive

6:12

than judge you think pete alonzo gets the credit

6:14

he deserves no

6:16

i i i don't in i think again that

6:18

that whole things think about it not

6:20

see him on the big stage i know we do for the

6:22

all my derby book for the play offs and i think

6:25

you know i i'd set up to the longest time

6:28

you know live in atlanta be in their freddie

6:30

freeman i thought was one of most underrated players

6:32

until the last two years well why did everybody

6:34

kind of think as he was any nlcs use in

6:36

the world series and people got a chance

6:39

to see ready and that and

6:41

it would be the largest do on this year so far

6:43

has this is insane

6:45

he's so good and they need

6:47

him to deliver what he did the other night i mean i would

6:50

say loss first against the padres and

6:52

in that game three all the southern a tightwad

6:54

and he delivers at three run homer they're

6:57

going to need him to continue to do that

6:59

the as like we talked about i think while they

7:01

add a couple pieces around what

7:04

i mean he's deaf player an mvp

7:06

contender i can say that

7:08

i'd yankees match you are a part

7:10

of it in in twenty ten these games

7:12

are so vitally important for both teams

7:14

especially the mets trying to hold off the braves gf

7:17

so is it fun the be

7:19

a part of this rivalry or can become

7:22

a little bit of a distraction when you just try to win

7:24

games a focus on yourself

7:26

would you be a little bit distraction but i'll say this

7:29

man i had so much fun and ten and

7:31

playing in the series and you know we

7:33

were great than ten but

7:35

i think when you have two teams like i said are so

7:37

good i mean i look on now and i

7:39

truly believe there's five six games that have

7:41

a chance to win the world series in two

7:43

of them are right here new york i

7:45

don't know there's also weaken the

7:48

are truly say that that's gonna happen

7:50

in the series so i think you have to go

7:53

teams you get the yankees get the best record in

7:55

all baseball and let's not forget

7:57

the mets who have played really

7:59

well this year good cardio and they got a chance

8:01

to send a message to everybody you're

8:03

paid attention guess what do you like it or not whether

8:06

your messages fan or not throughout the whole cancer

8:08

people most games go on ah the sweet and

8:11

at the series is gone so i think it'll be a great

8:13

want and ah but i do i

8:15

think it's a chance for the match you know he got shares

8:17

it on a maronites our waters touch phenomenal

8:20

sorts a chance to them to send a little message i said

8:23

jeff ah thank you so much for take a time

8:50

, appreciate your bag related

8:52

an algebraic coral beyond

8:54

the call tonight the call for the national

8:56

broadcast of these is a fun guy wasn't

8:59

a new york long he came in at the trading

9:01

deadline and own i and and then he was gone

9:03

for the end of the twenty ten season i

9:05

got to see him play with the giants a little bit towards

9:08

the tail and a believer the twenty thirteen season

9:10

he played everywhere kansas city the atlanta

9:12

braves he was always like a really key

9:14

acquisition for a lot of teams are gathered you wanted

9:16

get you doing a great job on tbs

9:19

in the should be a fun couple a days now

9:22

your herbert i said about the alonso

9:25

stats your the actual stats and i don't

9:27

as are interesting or yeah at a you

9:29

you might you might think you know

9:31

all of all stop at any hear it and it's com

9:33

like wow really okay

9:36

alonzo entered the majors

9:38

in twenty nineteen three and a half seasons ago

9:41

the is it nineteen more home runs

9:43

than yet aaron judge

9:45

seventy five more rb eyes than

9:47

judge one more run

9:49

scored than judge nineteen

9:51

more doubles fifty five

9:54

more hits

9:55

that is despite the fact

9:57

that along was also made three

10:00

hundred and seventy more plate

10:02

appearances in that time the judge

10:05

that although in that in that period those applet

10:07

at others appearances plate

10:10

appearances only has sixteen more strikeouts

10:13

though done you wonder whether or not

10:15

when the big lights come on in this situation

10:17

we know how much pete enjoys

10:20

what he does and i think really

10:22

wants to be thought of is great you wonder

10:24

if he has a little extra motivation

10:26

that so many people talk about judge like

10:28

he's on a different level when you look at the stats

10:31

that's not true at least not offensively

10:34

wall and but but a lot of it has to do with

10:36

the key stat and that's that that the a bats

10:38

the available because are

10:40

just looking as you were saying that in twenty

10:42

nineteen when p came into the league the

10:46

judge played on your it judge

10:48

with one hundred and two games in twenty

10:51

nineteen alonzo

10:53

and twenty nine team played a hundred and

10:55

sixty one there's just one

10:57

game of his rookie season we

11:00

got a twenty twenty there was a sixty

11:02

game season judge played twenty eight of

11:04

those games p plate and fifty seven

11:08

so in the first two years of his career

11:10

miss five games

11:13

now last

11:15

year was we judge was healthy

11:18

played one hundred and forty eight games

11:21

did miss really any time at all due to injury

11:24

and people either one hundred fifty two so

11:27

be doesn't miss many games he's missed fifteen

11:30

games the last three seasons

11:33

as your didn't have to do the quick math but just

11:35

the just looking at it he all mister

11:38

the sixty games and nineteen this

11:41

thirty two games in twenty and

11:43

and fourteen games and twenty one so that

11:46

that's the difference between the two players at a the numbers

11:48

would favor judge had gotten those

11:50

extra three hundred a bad that he lost due

11:52

to injury or but but but the thing is but

11:55

that's actually more reason to appreciate

11:57

alonzo maria ah availability

11:59

neil yeah i mean unfortunately

12:02

yes while it may pad statistics

12:05

in some ways it's also

12:07

or a credit to him he's always there

12:09

even in the years or which they both are fully healthy

12:11

he sold it to play more games

12:13

that stupid alonzo is at least so

12:15

far

12:16

what today's yankees starting lineup

12:18

brought you buy bigelow cheetah

12:21

reddit and

12:22

so yea i take a guess gimme

12:25

gimme some else or less when

12:27

i don't have this is the logic behind it or maybe

12:29

just because of all the pomp and circumstance

12:32

did let's just the not have gallo

12:35

dawn on telly i think you've been talking

12:40

the i do have a relationship with him

12:42

say because you're you're getting very good i talk

12:44

alma least once a week you

12:48

limit you leading off judge batting second

12:50

rizzo third to labour torres

12:52

that in clean up at your dh

12:55

carpenter about a fifth donaldson

12:57

six hicks seven

12:59

interpol epa is trivial

13:02

knife the catcher

13:03

jordan montgomery on

13:05

the hill for your new york

13:07

yankees that city's getting started a lot about you buy bigelow

13:10

regularly proud supporter of taisho

13:12

initial hot tea of judge jury and

13:14

the new york yankees back to the phones

13:16

one hundred and one nine three seven seven six dino

13:19

itself might be a what's up

13:21

they would i was going on that

13:23

that

13:24

so i know they're saying it's

13:27

more of a yankee story with soto but if

13:29

you look at the moon's the mets made

13:31

for the draft they drafted in a

13:33

more catcher bacon and drag the

13:36

, that they actually had the number one draft

13:38

and more the team's team's traded

13:40

for yeah basically transmitted gone

13:43

so i mean they can trade alvarez

13:45

the can close smith include a couple other prospects

13:48

these are ready made guy that what

13:50

the national the looking for the

13:52

couple years or not to yeah i mean shares only has

13:55

a three year contract that can definitely

13:57

follow all the money at sought after that

13:59

it i know that a yankee story but

14:01

i think the mets made some moves that

14:03

shows that they're still involved more

14:06

i i agree with you from that standpoint

14:09

imagine that to and de martino yesterday

14:11

and he said it's not the lack of prospects they've got

14:13

one of the top prospects and all baseball alvarez

14:15

it's just a national don't

14:18

want to do peter i don't

14:20

get it because he's gonna go wherever

14:22

easier to go and three years anyway he could go sign

14:24

with any other teams in the division you could be a brave

14:26

could be a met a guy who knows he can be a philly

14:30

so why you so concerned about the next

14:32

three years of him burning you you

14:35

get it did the national fans are going to see him have

14:37

a chance to win in san diego or with the

14:39

new york yankees or with the st

14:41

louis cardinals does it hurt more because it's

14:43

the mats the expense of maybe

14:46

getting the best deal upon the nationals of i'm

14:48

result i go on to get the best deal for my

14:50

team i don't worry about what division is

14:52

in but coronary martino

14:54

nationals don't want to do it so it's not a meth

14:56

thing it's a nationals there

14:58

how do you convince him to trade him in the debate

15:02

alright let's go to

15:06

in jersey with i game

15:08

it was going on guys so

15:12

ah i know the edu the have an amazing

15:15

he's in a thor the med but for some

15:17

reason i keep on and like i just see the

15:19

comparison between judge p the

15:21

one thing that scares me is that

15:23

judges have such an amazing year and

15:26

i don't see a p the

15:28

is still going to be a mess they still have time

15:30

to offer mccaughan shy but would judge is like

15:32

be added a t not from fungibility putting

15:34

up amazing numbers may his sixty

15:36

home runs it scarier the yankee

15:39

fan the see him doing this and he may

15:41

not be make the next year

15:43

it it's it's gonna make a sick right

15:46

that i guess if you get one soto

15:48

little make it easier to digest but

15:50

yeah yeah i can i see a yankee

15:52

fan peter

15:55

not not rooting against him

15:57

but you're like you're so excited about this amazing

15:59

season and all it's going to do is probably just

16:01

add add numbers to

16:04

the reason why not get a comeback that

16:06

i think so it's a catch twenty two

16:08

right you don't you want on that play well have

16:10

been mbp but it could also they

16:12

mean it it these gonna get more money on

16:14

the open market you don't want to read from

16:16

have a bad year because then the yankees will be as

16:18

good as so i it's

16:20

tough it's w like pizza dot a free

16:23

agent i guess he's arbitration eligible and twenty

16:25

four free agent twenty five so you'll have

16:27

the think about it now wait

16:29

repeat and i you get an owner where it's probably not gonna matter

16:31

anyway

16:33

that i can understand that color sphere

16:35

the rooting for him the break the record for home runs

16:38

any american league and in some people's minds

16:40

the than the history of baseball roger maris

16:43

the when and mvp that he

16:45

was robbed of in twenty seventh and

16:48

all to get to do was maybe get something to offer

16:50

money the yankees are gonna want to go to you

16:53

know i live in the now i said this yesterday

16:55

for europe live in the now

16:57

no on a be free age what it just hey it's

17:00

enjoy twenty twenty two

17:02

route your tail or form to go out there

17:04

break every record imaginable a win the mvp

17:07

and then if he leaves you don't worry

17:09

about that descent by

17:12

the way down that that advised that sage advice a general

17:14

living in the now that's that's the vice rev up a

17:16

high school i will buy some i can went

17:18

off on a yesterday for years and like all you know

17:20

gonna give your soto all this this

17:22

money in the a what would it be becomes a free

17:24

agent and twenty twenty five twenty

17:28

twenty two

17:29

the mets and yankees have seems

17:31

that have a chance to win the world series as is

17:33

right now that that's i'm going to worry

17:35

about losing him and twenty twenty five

17:37

we wouldn't have an ozone layer of the of the earth

17:39

may be a fireball by twenty twenty five

17:42

of a lot of who knows what's going on and it's a

17:44

bit of now of all time no joke

17:46

in a source of every day it's one

17:48

new worse news after the other

18:11

years from now go get yourself a world series

18:16

that's why i think it's worth it the idea

18:18

of being unwilling to part with

18:20

prospects who you don't know if they're

18:22

ever gonna be good to get a

18:24

generational talent who's it is

18:26

early twenties are you out of

18:29

your gourd and even

18:31

if it's as for the next few years it could be worth

18:33

it the laundry list of prospects

18:36

peter highly touted prospects

18:38

can't miss guys

18:41

the river the never heard from i

18:44

18:48

in the draft and the yankees drafted six

18:50

18:52

18:54

18:57

19:24

baseball player and he the carved out a nice

19:26

greer for himself a dog does this this

25:26

i had a hunch she be around for this one i'm okay

25:29

yeah back

25:31

ah

25:33

andrew said his phillies antenna

25:35

went up when he heard me slight

25:37

bryce harper by saying that sotos a full

25:39

level the disagrees

25:42

i was gonna i was going are you

25:44

a little bit to be your honor roll you were make

25:46

it a point

25:47

they

25:48

the wanna like create another conversation but

25:51

harbors really really really good

25:54

he harper is really really good them take a look

25:56

at harper right now this year when he was a free agent

25:58

like this he was

26:00

the same i got they that same age

26:02

kind of greek came up on what became of as a

26:04

teenager but he's definitely youngers blow

26:06

college

26:08

the

26:09

there there are there the same

26:12

you want to say sotos better minutes get but a full

26:14

level that was not

26:16

only person sometimes you you

26:19

get caught up when you try to make to make

26:22

i'm not mad at you

26:24

and maybe i'm a little

26:27

the wind it bullets to there's two things there's

26:29

one i probably have a little bit of bias because

26:31

they want

26:32

they won the world series after harper left when

26:35

soda was becoming a stud but that team

26:37

had there was lightning and a bottle adjusted

26:39

ditches was what it was and i

26:41

think i was very unimpressed as most people

26:43

were if i recall

26:45

with harbors first year in philadelphia

26:47

but i was no time ago war

26:51

you're correct me if i wasn't so much on him

26:53

and his the team just had the same record they did

26:56

without harper's first year in philadelphia

26:58

he was really good know he was good your one

27:01

it was year to i mean

27:03

year to was there was there was a weird

27:05

year

27:06

what he was still not bad was a bad

27:08

but the thing the thing was it might be mistaken

27:11

i think there were like five hundred the year before they got to

27:13

within five hundred the your weather yeah

27:15

going to leave same record that was the issue but now

27:17

you still good

27:20

the lp

27:22

the i'll take we'll also feel

27:24

i mean ellison ah he's

27:27

not

27:28

if sotos better

27:30

it's not substantial that it and

27:32

i'll say andrews

27:34

correct on that

27:36

what i'd also like to submit bryce

27:38

harper said the hospital and hospital would not

27:40

want him on my real that's real factor for

27:43

me i mean come on

27:45

you left your team is that the know i

27:47

don't what what team do i have i'm i don't know

27:49

what that's a good question i can't think

27:51

of

27:52

you

27:54

as a d c guy but at the same

27:56

time there was no nationals when you're grown

27:58

ups you more an oriole guy

28:00

you're not really even that

28:02

that drugs and i'm i'm a fraud listen i i

28:04

have legitimate love her i have legitimate

28:07

and also not that legitimate love

28:09

for a few baseball teams but

28:12

i was not a harper guy what is he was

28:14

in dc

28:15

i always thought he was annoying then

28:17

he would devote alfred i thought he was even more underwear

28:20

and if i'm going to give you illicit if i sit here and give

28:22

a hard time to pete alonzo

28:24

he's a trial

28:26

that seems like a great guy

28:28

i have to give a hard time to harper who

28:31

is it a try hard he just comes off as a novel

28:33

now only energy dot feel the nozzle from

28:35

our broke his hundred he now

28:37

the a be disingenuous of me

28:39

to say that i don't see what you're saying

28:41

because i felt that way about him when he was with the nationals

28:44

having him now on my team i have

28:47

not sound that to be the case but or

28:49

not i will fight you on that you are a big man saying

28:51

that you would you take the on the sort of thing them off

28:53

of i'll respond in kind and

28:56

say i guess as an as a fan of it's have

28:58

a different team i see what you would met

29:00

my perspective are now says you

29:02

don't want to show

29:04

ernie and you have an allegiance to

29:06

three of the four major sports

29:09

why don't you to clarity you've

29:11

been in new york long enough

29:15

what team i do you root for

29:18

the meeting

29:20

i'm not a you should be sitting there with a when

29:23

you have a hockey team you have a basketball

29:25

team you have a football team

29:28

okay

29:29

it's time

29:31

and today's today the

29:34

gun to my head answer

29:37

the whom i baseball team is

29:39

like you have to pick one

29:41

that's in first place

29:44

the baltimore orioles

29:46

i believe it's the baltimore luca

29:48

so

29:50

the you have to understand it's i know it's fraudulent

29:53

or i totally notes roger

29:55

what like the national thing is weird

29:57

because i'm not from the baltimore

29:59

sun

29:59

i'm from the d c suburbs

30:02

but there were no clue on your grown up but there was

30:04

no team so i went to more

30:06

orioles games service moment in my life

30:10

i have been to more orioles games

30:13

than any other team in any sport

30:15

i've seen more orders he is that little know

30:17

oh yeah we used to go a lot during the avatar and the

30:20

cal ripken eddie murray you know

30:22

fred lane

30:23

mike bought occur

30:25

that era the bomb or

30:27

or i'm really love him where you're at right now as

30:29

all the way up through the mike

30:31

devereaux randy milliken

30:33

mickey pedals in every

30:36

version of the orioles the orioles on board for

30:38

then

30:39

some point you know like the same family

30:41

friends and the same friends

30:43

and family who got me into the boston celtics

30:46

were also very into the red sox

30:48

so there was a lot of red sox around me

30:50

and eighty six was one of my biggest

30:53

for sports memories

30:55

them when the red sox won in

30:57

oh for i was very excited and

31:00

then i was immediately disgusted by

31:02

quote red sox nation hated

31:05

i've never been more revolted immediately

31:07

by a fanbase

31:09

and i and i going back to my orioles

31:11

roots that

31:14

my ex wife was working for the mets

31:16

the go to a ton of mets games

31:18

are now starting to do this show we're

31:20

talking mets and yankees all my buddies the voice

31:23

of the eighties the i go to yankee

31:25

game smoke and my fraudulent is just smeared

31:27

all over the place oh and

31:29

then it's want an idea that see that never

31:31

existed that when i was a kid right

31:34

they showed up when i was like twenty five and

31:36

by the way little known

31:38

i went to be first ever watch the

31:40

nationals game in philadelphia

31:43

when numbers game that wanted to be a part

31:45

of the action always it's always had their first

31:47

home that seems wrong

31:50

i should was the result if i i

31:52

it was weird that there

31:55

was gonna be a special xm show on

31:58

baseball with postural me

32:00

and i needed a host their yes pm

32:02

was affiliate whether the obvious weakest buster olney was doing

32:04

the show

32:05

the mike thompson rpt said would you

32:07

like those to show

32:09

we're going to be doing it live from national park their

32:11

first ever game was going to be on the sp

32:15

opening the ballpark it was against the braves

32:18

and so i did a show a pastor

32:21

got to walk onto the field dot

32:24

most my first interaction with bobby cox

32:26

shook his hand talk to him mean buster

32:28

right there like behind home plate watching batting practice

32:31

old they did your dish knit long

32:33

shelf stayed for the majority the game

32:35

that i drove home by

32:37

and i got a tour the ballpark really

32:40

it was interesting so you're that they always been that this

32:42

when they open nationals park nationals park

32:44

yes gotta so

32:46

you as i was in their first ever home games their first game

32:49

run to the started our of again

32:52

it it was would look awful by the way

32:54

what

32:55

flying at rfk our fear was repugnant i

32:57

mean i loved it for football for football's a different

33:00

story

33:00

that was repugnant for baseball but

33:03

it is a weird experience to

33:05

not have a team in the town you grow

33:07

up in literally i think until like the years

33:09

that i moved or a cop two years before i moved

33:12

though it is a strong so experience

33:14

but i love we're at now

33:17

38:19

let's go back to the phones and talk more

38:21

about the subway series

38:24

let's start with frank in white plains was afraid

38:28

the be was gone or minutes up from

38:31

the letter much all my she was apu

38:33

question bubble for read the

38:35

nasty in pretty yankee fan and

38:37

me as the to have you bought some than we

38:39

didn't do that first budget with a wretched

38:42

half again the a half a game

38:44

above

38:45

they never got a full game that's what

38:47

bitch without numbers was like best record

38:49

right

38:50

yeah we're having the isn't

38:52

it because it's only it is only percentage points

38:55

i said the day they passed you for best record

38:57

what is it the water

39:00

doesn't matter get all even it's only a good

39:02

behavior at all

39:04

the want to have questions for his own the

39:06

yankees are to be getting soda home

39:09

i didn't lol

39:12

i guess i just i guess this get your perspective

39:14

want to do you think it's like a either or follow

39:17

bomb judge and sort of will be good sense

39:20

or do you think it will be mathematically

39:22

possible for the people because

39:24

my eyes opinion like it's ,

39:26

of those judge who's on delhi the best

39:28

player on the planet like know annals

39:30

of pizza when it comes to the games with measure

39:32

didn't have to depend on people

39:36

is no question was a feel

39:38

like the bill will

39:40

be a good enough catholics and tried with he was

39:42

just saw that and like you guys think his apartment

39:44

wait for them to attacks

39:47

and keep

39:48

they did it mobile i guess the only way

39:50

guys thanks for call frank

39:54

would be the yankees resign

39:56

judge they get

39:58

soto but have no no intention of

40:00

resigning images keep him for the two and a half

40:02

years so that they can play together

40:05

the route twenty twenty four and

40:07

then you let subtle

40:10

and maybe things change by then

40:13

maybe boris is no longer

40:15

his agent maybe finance

40:17

has become a little bit of a different story and you can can

40:19

revisit doubt be the only way

40:22

the

40:23

the not making any really money now so

40:25

what would be the will be the the the big deal

40:28

that he wouldn't so much be replacement

40:30

it we just having the excess of orphans

40:32

for the next two and a half years the

40:34

yankees wanna do that or

40:37

would they in acquire him

40:39

peter for the sole purpose of replacing

40:41

judge

40:43

i think if they got him it's because

40:46

they don't have any intention of resigning

40:50

i just wanted to respond of the caller who said

40:52

i was doing mental gymnastics

40:54

the compare pete alonzo and aaron judge

40:57

or it's really not mental gymnastics

40:59

it's literally just a list

41:01

of statistics that show

41:03

a lot lower head in every in a ton

41:06

of categories now i understand he

41:08

has more of that but my point

41:10

is him having more a bad is is actually

41:12

on the other credit to hit but

41:16

it is it is gymnastics if

41:18

you didn't mention the difference the discrepancy

41:20

in the bats say be like oh wow i

41:22

realized that alonso a better player know

41:25

a lot of not a better player as alonzo

41:27

is played more since he came

41:29

into baseball the judge has

41:31

since twenty nineteenth that's the difference judge

41:33

the better player

41:35

even if you wanted to do the mental gymnastics

41:37

of comparing them all offensively it's night and

41:39

day difference

41:42

alonso gotten better but he's an

41:44

adequate defensive first baseman he's not spectacular

41:46

that keith hernandez is not our mattingly know

41:48

i was it by the judge is it was horrific

41:50

outfielder with a fantastic on

41:53

i truly think judge is the better

41:55

player

41:56

now he also said judge

41:58

is no doubt the best play

41:59

the world

42:01

i think mike trout job would would

42:03

be interested in having a conversation

42:05

i've been there are several players

42:07

who would be in that conversation but i

42:09

certainly agree he's right there

42:12

well again that is that me

42:15

whatever there's a yankee attitude that exist that they're

42:17

just they're not even going to consider point alonzo and

42:19

a get down i don't think i don't the fact that he

42:21

try hard antics probably don't album in that conversation

42:24

but he's freaking awesome

42:26

you gotta realize that with baseball

42:29

because it's not like

42:31

your basketball you get days off hockey to

42:33

get days off football you know you could you

42:35

can really pay attention with the thursday night

42:37

games the monday night games that you can still watch

42:39

every every play of your favorite

42:42

team and still consume a tremendous

42:44

amanda games outside your teeth baseball

42:48

you know it you're watching every yankee game you're you're

42:50

not you're not watching wants soda you're not

42:52

watching harper you're not watching trial because

42:54

you watch the yankees you might see them on occasion

42:56

you're always gonna love the player you see all the time

43:00

we have you watch my tried every day you would realize

43:02

he's the best player base

43:04

you don't want you every day you might

43:06

have your made only see only the table is the

43:08

yankees if you watch autonomy play

43:10

every day your your head's gonna split

43:12

these keys

43:14

the great all around player does he have

43:16

to be the best player in baseball

43:19

the also and and the be and we got

43:21

into this a little bit yesterday to peter

43:24

the biggest the situation

43:26

between soto and judges the age she

43:28

can't ignore seven years

43:30

we would have you think judges the better player now

43:33

the know we just had a conversation about living

43:35

in the now but when you judge a player

43:37

who's gabi thirty one you to judge of differently than

43:39

a guy who hasn't turned twenty four yeah

43:42

that not guaranteed but it is possible

43:44

sorta could be even better

43:46

i wouldn't want to be judged on where i was twenty

43:48

three

43:52

that is going to be better

43:54

let's go to corral and borough park

43:56

what's up carl

43:58

hi not appear

43:59

the am

44:01

how do you have the mets and

44:03

get away with their core things the buying

44:05

judge he thought to juggle by tone they

44:07

hit us with them harder

44:10

my tone and admission the nothing changed my

44:12

to twenty two to twenty twenty two when

44:14

the yankees that emits that's the bottom

44:16

would have never touches ever stock

44:18

or season and we have a better record of

44:20

them as much as as a way or another

44:22

with a little edwards ah

44:24

how can how can you compare yourself the yankees been

44:27

around forever you know they been around at

44:29

midst in start to like easy to

44:31

what would it would ever want all that me tonight

44:35

that all means tonight that those star go

44:37

we're always gonna be the yankees are always a mess that

44:39

avenue owner like at war with the one where

44:41

the yankees or mets were not a rival in

44:43

a brother with a bang late eighties

44:48

they want to say but and above

44:50

closer baseball of allow you

44:52

to remember to people

44:55

i just ask you you said will never touch

44:58

how do you explain the late eighties

45:02

why now know season is growing

45:05

they have observed that

45:07

seasons ever our seasons but i'm there's most

45:09

everything they have they best model there's

45:11

any part of for their endzone

45:13

been endzone the don't even have any facts

45:16

they're out of the best season ever that not even close to the

45:18

eighty six months we get that

45:21

was so obnoxious diaby around the

45:24

yankee fans getting all like the

45:26

weren't so so you're so and so this is

45:28

this is the pit the picture that every yankee

45:31

fan wants the paint though

45:33

they can't be touched so let's say the mets

45:35

win all four games against the yankees the here

45:37

and win the world series it's gonna be so

45:39

what we're still the guy keys

45:42

though we still have twenty seven championships in

45:44

the noodle the if they win this year the only have

45:46

three see guess so itself while by bottom

45:48

line

45:48

though car you've already won you're the best

45:50

we can thought is over what other but

45:52

but what is what does that mean tonight i'm

45:55

sorry is is ron get repetitive

45:57

i the

45:59

let me keep it you tonight is roger clemens pigeons

46:02

46:03

so it's great all the history

46:05

so why bother playing peter yankees are the

46:07

best they can't be touched they've got the history

46:09

so let's above so thats what

46:11

what fun is that and so so this of

46:14

the mets can win the next twenty world series

46:16

they won't matter because it's still will be twenty

46:18

seven and we still won't be the yankees a let's

46:20

just folded up let's just let's go let's let's teach
