- 0:28Speaker 1: It's a big honor to finally see it happen. Not
- 0:31Speaker 1: that I had a lot to do with it, but
- 0:32Speaker 1: I feel like I could take a claim in this
- 0:34Speaker 1: that we are advocating here at One Leg Up Alex
- 0:37Speaker 1: for fairness for people with disabilities. It's happening, Lindsay. Big
- 0:40Speaker 1: win for the One Leg Up Alex Adapts crowd. The
- 0:43Speaker 1: ADA fair is going to be all day long, which
- 0:45Speaker 1: I think we've been campaigning for with the LR here
- 0:49Speaker 1: at this podcast. So it feels like we can take
- 0:51Speaker 1: a claim in that win. And as you know, fairness
- 0:54Speaker 1: fairs is good for people with disabilities. But yes, it's
- 0:57Speaker 1: a good foreshadow for tonight because the Yanks play the
- 1:00Speaker 1: Red sox a rivalry renewed. How fired up are you,
- 1:03Speaker 1: Lindsey Sports Flash.
- 1:05Speaker 2: I am so fired up? You have no idea?
- 1:12Speaker 1: Well tell us how fired up? Because I mean, look,
- 1:13Speaker 1: we have Max Freed who had nineteen wins and only
- 1:17Speaker 1: four losses, and if he didn't have that dumb blister,
- 1:19Speaker 1: he would have been he would have been over twenty
- 1:23Speaker 1: wins easily. Lindsey, Yes, correct, So so talk to me,
- 1:28Speaker 1: what are your thoughts today?
- 1:31Speaker 3: I think Max Freed has to come out hot, Judge
- 1:37Speaker 3: got to come out hot. Stan has to come out hot,
- 1:40Speaker 3: and Volpey even though Vopi struggled this whole entire season
- 1:47Speaker 3: and he just fined.
- 1:48Speaker 2: He needs to find a way.
- 1:51Speaker 3: To be the Vopie who he was last year when
- 1:56Speaker 3: he was already let's.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Go back last year when he hit that Grand Slam.
- 1:59Speaker 2: I mean, you're a I watched that game. I watched
- 2:02Speaker 2: that game.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Household you're Italian fan and all, yeah, you're also in
- 2:05Speaker 1: the short stop position in your world? How happy for you?
- 2:08Speaker 1: Were you? That? Were you? For that kid?
- 2:11Speaker 3: I felt something so special about Anthony Volpi because I
- 2:17Speaker 3: know when you struggle as a as a rookie, he
- 2:22Speaker 3: knows that he needs to be his best, the way
- 2:26Speaker 3: how Derek Jeter was when he was a rookie, and
- 2:30Speaker 3: I remembered he struggled his years when he became a
- 2:34Speaker 3: Yankees shortstop.
- 2:39Speaker 1: And you saw his struggles. I mean we all did.
- 2:41Speaker 1: And then of course, yeah, we all start. But lindsay,
- 2:44Speaker 1: when you see the community saying, oh cut volpie, I
- 2:46Speaker 1: just I never vibe with that. I don't believe that's
- 2:49Speaker 1: the right energy to bring into you. Now.
- 2:50Speaker 3: Honestly, I was frustrated with him, but you know, I
- 2:55Speaker 3: don't mean that kind of stuff. And we know we
- 2:58Speaker 3: all got for us. It was everyone's like, oh, trade
- 3:02Speaker 3: this guy, I'll.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Get rid of him. Oh he sucks, and come on,
- 3:05Speaker 2: I just give him a chance.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think he's gonna get that chance tonight
- 3:09Speaker 1: in the.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Post I think will I think it will.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Aaron Judge incredible statline going into the postseason. I get
- 3:15Speaker 1: another guy, if he wasn't injured, would have had easily
- 3:18Speaker 1: sixty homers or at that but his average consistent throughout
- 3:22Speaker 1: the whole year. That's a huge sign of going into
- 3:25Speaker 1: this wild Card series here, Yes, he might actually get
- 3:30Speaker 1: to hit cruche tonight. I really feel it.
- 3:32Speaker 2: How many homeowns. Do you think Judge is gonna have
- 3:34Speaker 2: tonight tonight?
- 3:35Speaker 1: I don't know tonight, but I'll say.
- 3:38Speaker 3: I'll say maybe, I'll say maybe one, maybe.
- 3:42Speaker 2: One.
- 3:43Speaker 1: He said last week he wants to win every game.
- 3:44Speaker 1: I want to see him do it. I want to
- 3:46Speaker 1: see him do that for this team. And I think
- 3:48Speaker 1: Stanton's gonna be October stand which will be fun to work.
- 3:50Speaker 2: The way would the way how Judge played this.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Year, he has to be that guy in this playoffs.
- 3:58Speaker 3: This year, no doubt, out better than last season. But
- 4:02Speaker 3: you know, for get last season, forget last scene. How
- 4:05Speaker 3: he was this year is a new start in the
- 4:09Speaker 3: postseason this year and tonight, all right.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Let's get to row. Donald's gonna be the game too.
- 4:15Speaker 1: I mean, we got to focused one game at a time,
- 4:17Speaker 1: I know, and we we'll do a Game two preview tomorrow.
- 4:20Speaker 1: But I like the rotation against this Boston team. I
- 4:23Speaker 1: really do too. And then because are gonna go with
- 4:26Speaker 1: camp for Game three if it gets there, I would
- 4:29Speaker 1: like to see us go to and zero and then
- 4:31Speaker 1: get into that Toronto series, which is not gonna be easy,
- 4:34Speaker 1: and we can talk about it and sit here and
- 4:35Speaker 1: say wow, the Yan Division winners.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Let's take one game out of time. Let's where it
- 4:40Speaker 3: wasn't I. Let's focus on beating Boston and then get
- 4:44Speaker 3: through the series and then play Toronto. Even though that's
- 4:48Speaker 3: but I think could be anybody.
- 4:53Speaker 1: I love that confidence and enthusiasm. Lindsey, you are appearing
- 4:57Speaker 1: on this space for the first time. We did one
- 4:58Speaker 1: on the other one which didn't record. That was my mistake. Anyway,
- 5:02Speaker 1: one log ab Alex Sports Lindsay's Eerlis Sports Flash collab here,
- 5:06Speaker 1: Uh talk about your show and how cool it is.
- 5:09Speaker 1: I got to interview not one, but two, you know,
- 5:12Speaker 1: giant favorites. I mean Tyrone, Tracy and Uh and Tommy DeVito.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Of course you met Malik as well. But interviewing these guys,
- 5:18Speaker 1: what's that like? To break in that in that way?
- 5:22Speaker 3: My feeling was when I first interviewed who like Tommy DeVito,
- 5:29Speaker 3: wood Bridge and Jersey, I felt I wanted to be
- 5:33Speaker 3: that person to interview players and I was so happy
- 5:37Speaker 3: I was able to ask some questions and then and
- 5:40Speaker 3: then interviewing Tyrone was like special to interview somebody who
- 5:46Speaker 3: I wanted to talk to and act some a bunch
- 5:49Speaker 3: of stuff. And meeting Malik was crazy. But then meeting
- 5:55Speaker 3: Jackson Dart at an access, he seemed like a dude
- 6:00Speaker 3: that's down to earth, so nice.
- 6:05Speaker 2: I would totally want to interview those two.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Next, I know you mentioned Jackson, you mentioned Malik. I mean, look,
- 6:12Speaker 1: Jackson had an incredible game on Sunday and against the Chargers,
- 6:18Speaker 1: and he beat a undefeated Charger team.
- 6:21Speaker 2: His first touchdown. Like, wow, the whole problem with bananas.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Lindsay sound like a sports talk show host. I love it.
- 6:29Speaker 1: I also thought it was so angl climac because of
- 6:32Speaker 1: that injury to Malik, which is seas ending. However, maybe
- 6:35Speaker 1: it's a good sign the Giants can overcome adversity. I
- 6:38Speaker 1: know it's one game, but maybe it's a good uh
- 6:40Speaker 1: Fore voting for the rest of the year with this team.
- 6:43Speaker 3: No I say about malik injury dot com, I like
- 6:47Speaker 3: Davis say me, actors, Tyrone got hurt, forget about it.
- 6:52Speaker 3: I was like, I'm not gonna talk to anyone.
- 6:55Speaker 2: I was like, you know, just do it. Just talk
- 6:57Speaker 2: to people, tell him how you know, how you feel
- 6:59Speaker 2: about it.
- 7:00Speaker 3: But that was a devast that was devastated seeing my
- 7:03Speaker 3: leak go down with that injury and ending in season
- 7:09Speaker 3: with a tour in a cl which nobody wanted to see.
- 7:14Speaker 1: All right, you're an athlete yourself. You're gonna play softball
- 7:16Speaker 1: tonight during the first game, which I mean, look, you
- 7:19Speaker 1: gotta play, you gotta get reps in. But I hope
- 7:20Speaker 1: you're following the game everything.
- 7:22Speaker 3: I will be, I will I will be. I'll be
- 7:24Speaker 3: checking my phone, no out of doubt.
- 7:27Speaker 1: But but you're going to these games with a heavy
- 7:29Speaker 1: heart because I know last week you felt Tyrone's absence
- 7:32Speaker 1: even as you were playing.
- 7:33Speaker 3: Right, Yes, when Jackson throw through that bomb to my
- 7:37Speaker 3: leak and then that's when it happened.
- 7:40Speaker 1: But you yourself when you play, do you feel like
- 7:44Speaker 1: you are not in buying these guys but you're doing
- 7:47Speaker 1: what they're doing in a sense in a softball field. Yes,
- 7:50Speaker 1: And I know that you've been playing to do our kid,
- 7:52Speaker 1: tell us about your your athletic history. I'm curious.
- 7:56Speaker 3: I used to be not as good when I used
- 7:59Speaker 3: to be, because I remember, I will those strikeout and
- 8:02Speaker 3: something get some first rate I'll think, oh I suck.
- 8:06Speaker 2: I suck.
- 8:06Speaker 3: But then I got lessons and then I got better,
- 8:10Speaker 3: and then I basically barn started learning how to play
- 8:15Speaker 3: I'll learn you know, different positions than second base.
- 8:22Speaker 1: And you got some speed on you, which is awesome
- 8:24Speaker 1: to see. How you also overcame a hamstring injury too,
- 8:27Speaker 1: which was pretty pretty big. But going back to the
- 8:30Speaker 1: sports flash, you know you also now have spun off
- 8:32Speaker 1: from your YouTube. Now you've got a podcast page. What'd
- 8:35Speaker 1: you like to have? There's all this content out there.

- 8:52Speaker 3: will be my Leaking Neighbors, and then episode nine will
- 8:56Speaker 3: be Jackson Dark.

- 9:07Speaker 1: remember when you first started, it was a little like
- 9:09Speaker 1: not shy, but you were a little nervous. How do
- 9:11Speaker 1: you feel now? I feel like you've grown into it.
- 9:13Speaker 3: I felt like I have grown out of Michelle of
- 9:19Speaker 3: being confident and not being nervous, not being shy. But
- 9:23Speaker 3: you know it, hey stuff idmans, but you know, confidence
- 9:27Speaker 3: is confidence full disclosure.
- 9:29Speaker 1: We did an interview a while back and I was like, oh,

- 10:31Speaker 1: And I know that you're a superstitious, so you do
- 10:34Speaker 1: want to be at the stadium, but also I know
- 10:35Speaker 1: you want to do you like to stay in and
- 10:38Speaker 1: almost be at home and watch it and in the
- 10:40Speaker 1: superstitious way, right.
- 10:42Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'd rather watch it home than people
- 10:46Speaker 3: don't distract you when you're watching the Yankee game, Like, Hey, no,
- 10:49Speaker 3: I'm trying to watch Yanke But I don't really say that.
- 10:51Speaker 3: I try to be respectful, but.
- 10:56Speaker 1: I love it. We all have our superstitions. I wear
- 10:58Speaker 1: my hat. I picked out the outpa. Did they with
- 11:00Speaker 1: the world's serious championship? To win it? To wear it
- 11:03Speaker 1: into existence? In the grand scheme of things? Thirteen wins
- 11:06Speaker 1: fields achievable with this team, doesn't it. That's what it's
- 11:09Speaker 1: gonna take. Thirteen wins to be the twenty eight time
- 11:11Speaker 1: world champions and.
- 11:13Speaker 3: Hopefully the Yankees do get to the Royal Series again.
- 11:15Speaker 3: I compete against the Dodgers. Well, everyone's gonna be waiting for.
- 11:21Speaker 1: I don't know if the Dodgers have it in them.
- 11:23Speaker 1: I really they've been struggling. They might not have anything.
- 11:25Speaker 2: Oh yeah, never mind about that, but who knows.
- 11:28Speaker 3: What.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Let me ask you about this. Uh, last time we
- 11:32Speaker 1: won was on nine And I always say this every
- 11:34Speaker 1: time we're in there. What were you doing in two
- 11:37Speaker 1: thousand and nine? And did you ever think when you
- 11:39Speaker 1: were watching them as a kid? Basically like I know,
- 11:42Speaker 1: in college, for me and for you, we were kids.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Now we're doing this professionally, What where were you sixteen
- 11:49Speaker 1: years ago?
- 11:49Speaker 3: Though, this is gonna find sounds kind of funny because
- 11:53Speaker 3: I used to live in Rotten County before I became
- 11:58Speaker 3: a Burning County girl. So so I would watch a
- 12:01Speaker 3: Yankees World series definitely at home.
- 12:07Speaker 1: I remember being there down the rightfield line watching them
- 12:10Speaker 1: win it, and I had been there ten years earlier
- 12:12Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety nine. It was very special both times
- 12:15Speaker 1: with my dad, and I know I miss him the
- 12:17Speaker 1: last couple of years, and this is the second postseason
- 12:20Speaker 1: without him here. Yeah, without him here, also his Cubs.
- 12:23Speaker 1: As you know as a big Cub fan, they make
- 12:26Speaker 1: it for the first time since my dad passed, So
- 12:28Speaker 1: it's a lot of emotion, but you know it was
- 12:31Speaker 1: it was fun to watch, and you got to see
- 12:32Speaker 1: CC as a Yankee. I mean, what a what a
- 12:34Speaker 1: career cocludo Zimbers Hall of Fame induction, right.
- 12:38Speaker 3: I met CEC too, actually in a restaurant, don't know
- 12:42Speaker 3: what it was called, but it was pretty cool that
- 12:46Speaker 3: I ran into him.
- 12:49Speaker 1: Oh and he's one of the nice guys. He will
- 12:51Speaker 1: stop for a photo. He didn't have me at Pinstripe.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Probably very very awesome guy.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Yeah, also just even interviewed him last year afinax Fest.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Shout out to Chris See Kayler.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Yeah, at Fanatics Fest. But I have to say this
- 13:05Speaker 1: and uh, I say. You also talked about the Giants
- 13:09Speaker 1: and how you got into the giant fandom because of
- 13:11Speaker 1: another legend in New York, Eli Manning. Talk about that.
- 13:14Speaker 3: I think Eli was very espresso way back when he
- 13:19Speaker 3: won those two Super Bowls from seven twenty eleven.
- 13:24Speaker 2: I felt that moment of him was beating Tom Brady.
- 13:32Speaker 1: And he did it twice, and.
- 13:33Speaker 2: Yes, did it twice? Done it twice?
- 13:36Speaker 1: You agree he should have been the first Battle Hall
- 13:37Speaker 1: of Fame.
- 13:38Speaker 3: He should have been at one hundred. Like, I don't
- 13:43Speaker 3: know what to say, because he should have been in it.
- 13:45Speaker 3: It makes those sense over over those other guys and
- 13:49Speaker 3: over him.
- 13:50Speaker 1: By the way, if you're listening to Lindsay's emphasis, I
- 13:53Speaker 1: feel like she's gotten more emphatic on her videos with
- 13:55Speaker 1: the different You're you're really showing your passion, which I
- 13:57Speaker 1: encourage you to do from the beginning. Now it's showing,
- 14:00Speaker 1: it's shining through Linday.

- 14:04Speaker 1: I mean, you ever been you You've yelled at TVs

- 14:14Speaker 2: I'm like, ma, it's part of sports. The sports do
- 14:17Speaker 2: sports fans yell, that's what they do, screaming at the

- 14:31Speaker 1: And interview and the fact you're on podcast? How cool
- 14:35Speaker 1: is that? Now?
- 14:36Speaker 3: I felt great that I put myself out there to
- 14:41Speaker 3: show the world who I really am, and I want
- 14:45Speaker 3: them to be gause. I want them to know who
- 14:46Speaker 3: I am. So this season, Oh, that's who's been doing
- 14:50Speaker 3: her episode. She's been through her podcast, she's been doing
- 14:54Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff, talking about athletes, her favorite players.
- 15:00Speaker 3: That's who I am.
- 15:01Speaker 1: All right, were you just talking as a kid? Did
- 15:04Speaker 1: you see this media sports? Because a I has listened
- 15:08Speaker 1: with a sports journalist. You know this because I sent
- 15:10Speaker 1: you and I was like, oh my god, Lindsay's a
- 15:12Speaker 1: sports journalist in the world of and they know you
- 15:14Speaker 1: out there. Lindsay, But did you ever see this happening
- 15:18Speaker 1: or were you sort of shiners or when you were younger.
- 15:20Speaker 3: You know, I have always thought of this, Curlie. I
- 15:23Speaker 3: have always wanted to do this because I know, I
- 15:27Speaker 3: see you know when you watch people like press conference,
- 15:30Speaker 3: it's like, oh, I want to be done one.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Day and maybe you will get that seat at the
- 15:36Speaker 1: table as a in the press credential world. We'll have
- 15:39Speaker 1: to see how that would be awesome. But lindsay, enjoy
- 15:42Speaker 1: the rest of the postseason. I know we're not doing predictions.
- 15:44Speaker 1: I hate predictions, but it feels right to ask two
- 15:48Speaker 1: out of two, two out of three. I mean, the
- 15:51Speaker 1: Yanks need to advance.
- 15:54Speaker 3: There's a win tonight and then talk about tomorrow and
- 15:57Speaker 3: then just get through one serious out of tend I'm
- 16:00Speaker 3: beating Boston.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Now. I haven't said this premise on the one that
- 16:03Speaker 1: got Alex Network, but I'm going to right now. With
- 16:07Speaker 1: the wild Card so close to the end of the year,
- 16:08Speaker 1: it's not like ten days away, it's literally two days later.
- 16:11Speaker 1: It just feels like another series. These guys have to
- 16:14Speaker 1: play to get to the next level. Yep. But that
- 16:17Speaker 1: being said, they all say it's a different script of October.
- 16:20Speaker 1: It's you know, in the postseason. But the Yates are
- 16:23Speaker 1: on an eight game win streak, there's no reason it
- 16:25Speaker 1: can't become nine game win streak tonight if you include
- 16:28Speaker 1: the last eight regular SE's a games.
- 16:29Speaker 3: Lindsay, Yeah, I think they got this. I have a
- 16:34Speaker 3: good feeling about the Yankees this year.
- 16:35Speaker 2: They really do.
- 16:36Speaker 3: They got some talented hitters, Davis gott come out to play.
- 16:40Speaker 2: That's all matters.
- 16:42Speaker 1: Turning point for me, there were two. The fact that
- 16:44Speaker 1: they got rid of DJ, which we all kind of
- 16:46Speaker 1: miss him, but they need to do the business move
- 16:48Speaker 1: with that. They moved Jazz to second, which made the
- 16:51Speaker 1: defense more comfortable, I think, because hey, the pitching is
- 16:54Speaker 1: more comfortable because hey, they knew that defense was gonna
- 16:56Speaker 1: behind him. Then you get Cabiarro and McMahon and yeah, Ario,
- 17:00Speaker 1: but Cabiaro at McMahon had been game changers as Bendar.
- 17:03Speaker 1: I mean, those three acquisitions right there challenged the season,
- 17:06Speaker 1: and that move that week and two when they cut
