You think that you're going to give him a significant, you're
0:02
going to have a ton of money to spend.
0:04
Why not putting in one of the top three offensive players in
0:07
the league? We're going to be looking at
0:16
Aaron Judge and saying that he can't win the big game, Michael
0:20
Jordan said. I played 82 games.
0:22
You don't see the one doing that A.
0:24
Game where you got to go? I told you, giant feet Saquon
0:29
Barkley at this Welcome, welcome, welcome,
1:41
welcome. I'm lost today.
1:44
It's been a long weekend for me. Ladies and gentlemen, you're
1:46
listening to a new show of Jabba and the Mouth.
1:51
I'm your host, the one and only arrow marks.
1:54
They call me the mouth. My Co host Mr. Flamethrower
1:58
himself, Jabba Chamberlain and the speedster Speedy PD
2:03
631-672-3108 It's a number to call and you can go to our
2:09
website at www.worldwidesportsradio.com.
2:13
Check out all our throughout the week, including Java and the
2:16
Mouth every single Mondays and now Wednesdays at 7:30 PM.
2:21
All you have to do to tune in and check out our local listings
2:24
for all our crazy shows is go to our website at
2:27
www.worldwidesportsradio.com. You just heard them, Mr. Aaron
2:34
Fish Fishman, our executive producer board OPS and producing
2:38
right in the background, Mr. Tommy Poops.
2:41
Mr. Nick Goody will be joining us once again.
2:44
He's been out in Cleveland doing the pre gamut post game show for
2:48
the Guardians over the last past week.
2:50
So we're very happy to have him back a little bit later in the
2:52
show. Yes, Mr. Nathan, our PR guy is
2:55
hiding. He's lurking.
2:57
Our interns and everything. Jabba, how was your weekend,
3:00
man? We were celebrating speedies.
3:04
Finally did it right. Like you, you took the weekend.
3:07
We did. Did he get his?
3:09
Did he have his dancing shoes on?
3:11
Yes, he danced a little bit. I, I will say this DJ Theo was
3:15
out and, and doing his thing over there at Flynn.
3:19
So I, I didn't like the crowd. It was craziness.
3:22
A lot of the older, younger crowd and you couldn't move in
3:26
the place, so you really couldn't enjoy the music.
3:28
It was a it was a bad weekend to go over there to Fire Island.
3:32
But yes, Speedy was doing his little jiggling and twerking and
3:36
whatever the hell you call it as he's doing the crab dance,
3:40
That's what I call. It Java the Speedy's crab dance
3:43
perspective. I was lucky if I had that much
3:45
room at that place. You didn't have any room, but
3:48
you don't know where to stand, Speedy.
3:50
I kept moving you in so many different positions because this
3:53
kid would let everybody walk through him.
3:55
I'm standing right there. I'm like, stand here so nobody
3:58
gets around our circle. You know what Speedy does?
4:01
He turns around. I think he was looking at ladies
4:03
asses. That's what I think he was doing
4:05
because it made no sense when we were trying to to kind of close
4:10
up the circle. So nobody was bugging the hell
4:13
out of me and I was trying to enjoy the music.
4:15
And by the way, I used to love DJ Theo.
4:18
I'm not going to take shots at him on this show because he's
4:21
done wonders for the house, you know, region here in New York.
4:25
He was one time, one time the best DJ in the country.
4:30
Yes, he was voted best DJ in the country.
4:32
I think it was about 10 years ago and then he had kids and
4:35
then he kind of disappeared for a little while.
4:38
But now he's back in the scene and doing his thing.
4:41
I got to give him a little bit of credit.
4:43
I just don't like that old music or even some of the new mixes
4:46
that he's putting out there. I just, I, I don't know, I'm
4:48
not, I'm a DJ and I'm not a big fan of it.
4:50
Did you like? The drum guy though, I thought
4:51
he was pretty good. I actually know.
4:54
So I actually reached out to him after we left and I just wanted
4:58
to tell him I couldn't really speak to him or even have a
5:01
conversation with him because they're people like when you're
5:04
there and you're the center of attention, you have like some
5:06
kind of like you're like some superstar and you think you're a
5:09
superstar. You know what I mean?
5:11
You're standing there and you know, and I, I just something
5:16
turned me off about the people there.
5:18
I don't know what it was. Maybe the fact that people were
5:21
stepping on you and throwing things and those stupid
5:25
volleyballs, whatever the hell they those three different.
5:27
Beach balls, yeah. Can't move.
5:29
And like they were stepping on you.
5:30
Jabba, they were stepping on us. I, I, I, the, the people, people
5:34
there were just so rude and disrespectful.
5:37
And I, I walked away from one of the guys and I kind of kind of
5:40
kind of give him a shoulder. You know, when you're walking
5:42
away from somebody and give him like a little nudge, like get
5:44
the hell out of my way. That's what I did.
5:47
And nobody messed with Speedy, but I was teaching Speedy how to
5:49
keep his hands in his. Pockets.
5:52
Pockets. That's right, ladies and
5:53
gentlemen. I was training him to be what,
5:57
Speedy? Like a puppet?
5:59
It was my puppet, sure. We'll go with that.
6:01
He was my puppet, but I actually had a chance when I was on the
6:04
ferry. I was looking up Jabba
6:06
Chamberlain some looking at statistics and trying to compare
6:09
his statistics to Ian Kennedy and Philip Hughes and I came
6:14
upon this 9 minute video which was posted up four years ago
6:18
called The Summer of Java. You can check it out on YouTube
6:22
and it is a 9 minute and 46 second love fest for Jabba
6:28
Chamberlain. Yes, this kid who?
6:30
And by the way, it was about 5-6 thousand people checked it out
6:33
and viewed it. It was like a love fest.
6:36
No matter how much trials and tribulations you had over a 3
6:41
1/2 year span. Jabba, he was comparing your
6:44
numbers to some of the greatest pictures of all time and in some
6:47
of those numbers really were interesting.
6:50
When a guy like you who didn't give up an earned run in like I
6:55
think it was, I'm not, I don't remember exactly, but it was
6:58
like Four Seasons. You didn't give up an earned run
7:00
in like a certain amount of time and you had like 40 strikeouts
7:05
when you came into the major leagues without any walks or
7:08
something like that. It was some ridiculous number.
7:11
And I don't remember what he was saying.
7:12
I wish I I should have wrote it down before I came on the show,
7:16
but check it out. It's called the Summer of Jabba.
7:19
It's actually really, really good.
7:21
It's, it's at the 9 minute documentary of Jabba
7:24
Chamberlain's career rolled up in 9 1/2 minutes.
7:28
So, and by the way, his I, I think his Gmail has your number
7:34
and Derek Jeter's number, his two favorite players growing up
7:38
as, as a Yankee fan. So yours and Derek Jeter's
7:41
number was at the back of his e-mail address.
7:45
So pretty interesting. I actually enjoyed it.
7:48
I got a got a chance to get to know you a little bit better
7:51
behind the scenes. I mean, in his eyes at least.
7:54
But it was fun. It was, it was a cool time.
7:56
We actually had a BBQ after that.
7:58
We went over there to Brittany's house and and had a barbecue and
8:01
and then we had a cake and we sang happy birthday to the one
8:04
and only speedster. What?
8:06
What kind of cake? Ice cream cake.
8:07
Ice cream cake Carvel. Yes.
8:10
Can't go wrong with. That no.
8:12
Don't worry, don't worry Jabba, I had my sausage too.
8:14
Yes, he had his nice dry sausage, long and thin.
8:18
It was actually. It was actually cheddar infused.
8:20
Yes, you like that, right Speedy?
8:22
Did you dance? Did you like have like this like
8:24
love fetish for that cheddar? You know, you brought it home.
8:26
You brought it home. Did you feed?
8:28
Did you feed it to granny? No, you didn't feed it to
8:30
granny. No, no, I I'm surprised.
8:33
The the jalapeno cheddar sauce, like we have those here like
8:37
because we have a bunch of like meat lockers like in small towns
8:39
and stuff. So they they always usually have
8:42
some good. Stuff that's interesting.
8:43
I have to see if I ever. I've never seen that one.
8:44
I have no jalapeno cheddar. The flavor.
8:46
I've never seen it in a sausage concert.
8:47
Speedy, did you just pop lock and drop it last night when you
8:50
went home to Granny? What did you pop lock and drop
8:53
it? I don't know what that means.
8:55
Show us your pop lock and drop it.
8:56
Why don't you show? I don't have no idea.
8:57
Stand up and show us your pop lock and drop it.
8:59
I don't know what the context. Just show us with hands what you
9:02
would do if you were pop lock and drop it.
9:04
I have no just show a hand. I have no idea what it is.
9:09
What the hell is this? By the way, since we have Snug
9:13
in the comments section, Snug, you would love Brittany's house.
9:16
There's eight different cats there.
9:17
Oh God, Police police. 8 cats man, 8 cats in one big room.
9:23
It's just I'm definitely allergic to cats, so I when
9:28
you're walking there, I have to take like allergy pills or I'm
9:30
going to break out and just absolutely fall over.
9:33
Yes, there it is. There's Keith in the corner and
9:36
P Diddy crossed out in any kind of way.
9:38
But yeah, it was it was fun. Sunday was fun.
9:42
It was an interesting weekend. I actually emceed a big wedding,
9:45
enjoyed it. I like to thank the family.
9:48
I'm not going to mention any names.
9:49
I don't want to if they don't want me to mention any names,
9:52
I'm not going to mention any names.
9:53
But I had a very good time over there at the Essex Country Club
9:57
in Brentwood, NY. So I I did have a good time.
9:59
Thank you young little Frankie for twirling in.
10:04
What is it, Burling or whatever it is?
10:06
Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, it's been a long weekend for the
10:10
New York Yankees as they were just swept by the lonely Florida
10:16
Marlins. This weekend, the New York
10:19
Yankees were swept by the Miami Marlins, dropping them behind
10:23
the Red Sox right into third place in the American League
10:26
East. Both Derek Jeter and Alex
10:28
Rodriguez ripped the Yankees play on Saturday during the rain
10:33
delay at Bristol Motor Speedway on Fox, with Jeter saying the
10:37
Yankees make it to make too many mistakes and a rod take shots at
10:42
Jazz Chisholm for a horrific base running mistake, saying
10:47
that his ERA Jazz would have been benched for it.
10:51
Manager Aaron Boone said it is a gut check time for the Yankees
10:55
but he still has confidence in them because they're a very good
11:00
team as he would say in the pathetic effort.
11:04
All three relievers the Yankees traded for at the deadline gave
11:09
up multiple runs and the much talked about trade deadline
11:13
acquisitions acquisitions. The return of Louise Hill was
11:19
was a bad one in his return Sunday's giving up five runs in
11:24
three innings of work. The only silver lining is the
11:27
Yankees still sit in possession of the second wild card and
11:32
Aaron Judge should be back Tuesday or Wednesday from the
11:36
IL. I didn't get a chance to watch
11:39
much of any of those games this weekend because I was working,
11:44
but I did get a chance to check out some of the statistics that
11:47
were absolutely putrid and and Jazz Chisholm's absolute
11:51
debacle. Base running was just so
11:54
embarrassing. I don't even think a rod gave
11:56
you enough information on how bad it was.
12:00
But everybody knows how I feel about Jazz Chisholm.
12:02
I know, I know at one point Jabba liked him.
12:06
I know Keith absolutely adores him, but this is a guy that
12:11
doesn't shut his mouth. He opens his mouth too many
12:13
times. He went that he went to the All
12:15
Star game at the Home Run Derby and absolutely embarrassed
12:19
himself in the Home Run Derby, only hitting three home runs.
12:22
I've never seen a Yankee absolutely embarrass himself.
12:24
As we call or the Yankees call themselves the Bronx Bombers and
12:27
Aaron Boone saying that it's gut check time is just being nice
12:31
because it's been gut checking time for the last four months,
12:35
since the season started. The Yankees have been absolutely
12:39
disgraceful. Disgraceful.
12:42
There's no excuses to this team and the way they've played.
12:45
There's not. The pitching has gone from good
12:49
to absolutely bad. If you add these relief pitches
12:52
and you think, hey, it adds depth to the bullpen and you
12:54
think, oh, the Yankees are going to be great.
12:56
They're going to be sensational after adding 23 pitches at the
13:00
trade deadline. And and obviously the Yankees
13:03
over the second-half of the last three seasons have been
13:05
absolutely disgraceful in the second-half when it comes to the
13:09
bullpen. You look at Devin Williams,
13:11
who's played a little bit better, has come back in the
13:14
second-half, has been up and down.
13:17
And you look at this staff, really Max Fried, who's been one
13:20
of the best pitchers in baseball really from the first half of
13:24
the season, has been taking steps back.
13:27
I, I know a lot of people going to say he has blisters and, and
13:30
Carlos Rodon still has a 3.18 ERA and everybody says, well
13:34
this is a good season for Carlos Rodon.
13:37
When you're making $26 million a year and you're giving guy like
13:40
Max free $32 million, that's 50 some I $1,000,000 almost $60
13:44
million. You're investing into two
13:47
pitchers and you're not getting enough hits and not getting
13:50
enough wrongs behind these guys. It just shows you where the
13:53
Yankees are AT and you're. Depending that's not that's not
13:55
as bad Errol as us having 48.3 million for guys that aren't
13:59
even playing. Well, that's true too.
14:00
I we could go, we could get into the the past of the Yankees.
14:03
I mean, remember Call Pavano getting hit by a Wiener?
14:06
I'm saying right? I know.
14:07
I'm just saying. Carl Provano, how many games did
14:10
he play when the Yankees decided to bring him in from the
14:12
Marlins? I mean.
14:13
That's not even the big Jacoby Ellsbury's the worst.
14:16
That's another one. And Jacoby's, Jacoby Ellsbury,
14:19
his final year, he was an MVP candidate.
14:22
So I, I think that obviously you look at the Yankees in the
14:26
situation that they're in, I said it before the trade
14:28
deadline, they should have been sellers, they should not have
14:31
been buyers. And I know Jabba, you're going
14:33
to get into how much the Yankees have to win in the next 50
14:36
games. You think they have to go 30 and
14:37
20 to to even make the playoffs. I just, I don't see this team
14:42
having enough depth offensively. Aaron Judge comes back, even if
14:46
he adds that depth offensively that they've been lacking over
14:50
the last week, week and a half since he's been gone, I just
14:53
think there's not enough on this team to get over the hump.
14:56
I still think obviously the Astros are going to be a one of
15:00
the teams to beating the American League.
15:02
I do also believe Detroit, even though they've been up and down
15:05
over the last couple weeks, the Red Sox have played better since
15:08
the acquisitions that they've made.
15:10
Even getting rid of Devers. I think the the Red Sox have
15:13
been better. I, I think Devers has been was a
15:15
cancer in the locker room. I just think that this team just
15:18
doesn't have it this year. Every boot can make any excuse
15:22
that he wants. Derek Cheeter could say what he
15:23
wants. Derek Cheeter hasn't been on a
15:25
baseball field for how long? 10 years?
15:27
He hasn't been on a field for a while.
15:29
And Alex Rodriguez is another one that opens his mouth.
15:32
You want to talk about distinguished and stupid.
15:34
How many times do we see Alex Rodriguez on the on the baseball
15:38
field Absolutely look look like a Jackass.
15:41
I remember the times that he was screaming when there was a pop
15:44
up fly, making sure that if I'm not if is it Castillo, one of
15:48
those guys, one of the Mets? Castillo.
15:50
Castillo when he was trying to catch a pop up fly at second
15:55
base. He drops the ball because he's
15:56
screaming in his ear or at 3rd. Base that was that was a rod in
16:00
the yeah in Toronto at 3rd. Yeah, but it was two.
16:02
It was. Twice.
16:03
But he did twice. He did it twice.
16:05
Popped it up at freaking Castillo.
16:06
The most infamous drop popping ever.
16:08
In the extra. In the extra.
16:09
He did it twice and and again, Alex Rodriguez is is been
16:14
obviously one of those Yankees that nobody likes because of
16:17
what he did with steroids and and some of the weird things he
16:20
did on a baseball field. But again, Alex Rodriguez could
16:24
go down as one of the top five players of all time.
16:26
Derek Jeter is going to go down as one of the top five top six
16:30
Yankees of all time and one of the most clutched.
16:33
Actually, you look at this roster, who is clutch on this
16:36
roster before besides Giancarlo Stanton?
16:40
Because it's not our judge, Jazz Chisholm, we know what he does
16:42
in the playoffs. He's absolutely putrid.
16:45
OK, we go to Bellinger. He looks like he is a good
16:48
playoff player, but not with the Yankees.
16:49
We have to see what he's going to do with the Yankees, if the
16:52
Yankees even make the playoffs. I mean, right now, this is not a
16:55
good team. I don't care what anybody says.
16:58
This Yankee team is not good. When you talk about trying to
17:03
build a roster to win a championship, when you look at
17:06
from top to bottom, when you look at the top five hitters for
17:09
the Yankees, are you going to actually tell me with Volpe in
17:13
the lineup, this is a good a lineup, good roster?
17:16
Volpe's had more more errors in the last four weeks than I've
17:21
seen any Yankees since Chuck Knobloch.
17:23
Remember that? Does anybody remember Chuck
17:25
Knobloch? This was a Gold Glove type of
17:27
player. He comes from the Twins.
17:29
He comes to the Yankees, has one Goodyear at second base, and
17:33
then what happens? What happens?
17:35
He can't throw the first. He's throwing it.
17:37
He's throwing it to the fans. I he threw it, throwing it in a
17:40
dugout. It it's it's to me.
17:43
It's a big problem when you're young superstar, as the Yankees
17:46
believed he was going to be, Can't really throw the first.
17:50
He can't even throw the ball the second.
17:51
He can't put the ball in front of him.
17:53
It to me you got to send him down.
17:55
But the Yankees have no depth at shortstop.
17:58
And the Yankees were looking to add depth.
18:00
Now, Ahmed Rosario is a good player somewhat against lefties.
18:05
Is he a starting shortstop in this league?
18:07
No. Ask the Mets.
18:08
If he was, he'd still be a Mets. He'd still be a guardian.
18:12
OK, let's let's be honest here. This is not a good Yankee
18:17
roster. If you look at the roster that
18:20
they have on the bench, who you could bring in.
18:23
Now, I know Chris Sims had a good year.
18:24
Is he really a guy that you want to bring in week in and week out
18:28
if you need that offense? Come on, guys.
18:31
He wasn't. He was up and down with the
18:32
Padres. He wasn't a great player.
18:34
He's been OK with the Yankees and the beginning of the season
18:37
was on a home run, you know, tear for what, a couple of weeks
18:41
and he's falling off. The Yankees have no depth
18:44
offensively. You look at the Dodgers right
18:47
now. If the Dodgers fall apart at any
18:50
point, Mookie Betts has had a terrible year.
18:53
Mookie Betts and MVP has had a terrible year.
18:57
They have guys that can pick up the slack.
19:00
The Yankees don't. If Aaron Judge is not in the
19:03
lineup, they're not getting offense from John Carlos
19:05
Stanton, and they decided to part ways with Glaber Torres,
19:09
who's right now playing great baseball.
19:11
He's going to earn himself a lot of money after only signing a
19:14
one year deal with Detroit. Maybe the Yankees should decide
19:17
to bring them back. He would have been a better
19:19
option at shortstop than the one and only Mr. Volpe.
19:22
Volpe's been absolutely terrible and the Yankees have no future
19:27
as far as I'm concerned with Volpe.
19:28
And now you got to send him down.
19:30
He loses confidence. We've seen Yankees over the
19:32
years go down after this and never come back up.
19:35
Clint Frazier being one of them. Remember that guy?
19:38
It's just, and then you add the cat story over there and then
19:42
all the stupid things you heard from Clint Frazier when he was
19:45
here with the Yankees. I just, I'm just so terribly
19:50
stupid to believe that this team had any chance this year to make
19:55
a run, really. Yeah, you look at a lot of the
19:57
younger players too, we've talked about with the prospect
19:59
development, especially like Anthony Volpe, you said it like
20:03
2 years ago he was a Gold Glove winner.
20:05
He was probably the fifth or sixth guy for Rookie of the year
20:07
and what was a really good Rookie of the year class that
20:09
year. Gunner Henderson won it, but
20:10
they had Josh Young Louise, not Louise Hill.
20:13
Tyler Wells for the Orioles was also very good that year in
20:15
Tanner Bybee. Ben Volpe was in that set and
20:18
then all of a sudden two years later, all of a sudden he can't
20:20
throw to 1st and Glaber Torres. Remember how hyped he was
20:23
defensively too? Not as much as Volpe was, but he
20:26
couldn't field either. And it leads to be a problem
20:29
that maybe the Yankees in a prospect development department
20:31
have a big problem too. I don't think it's as much Brian
20:33
Cashman as it is like the the scouts or whatever the
20:36
management is down there as much because the Yankees have had
20:39
trouble with this for a while too.
20:40
Like you said, who's fielding really on this team right now at
20:43
a high level? It's not.
20:44
It's not good at all. And then these young hitters
20:46
just have not developed either, and they're banking on that this
20:49
year because they have no line of depth.
20:51
That's the problem with the Yankees, and I'll go back and
20:53
Jabba knows this more than anybody.
20:55
He was a Yankee for a significant amount of time.
20:57
They get guys they're either great in both, you know, fight,
21:01
they're either A5 tool player or they're a tool tool player.
21:05
That's what they are. They're either good defensively
21:07
or they're good offensively. How many guys have we seen over
21:10
the years that are 5 tool players that we've been brought
21:13
up by the the Yankees? Honestly, if you go back and you
21:16
look at it, Jorge Posada being one of them, Bernie Williams
21:19
being another, Derek Jeter being another, I mean, we could go and
21:22
then we move up In the 2000 era, Alfonso Soriano wasn't a good
21:27
defender. He wasn't.
21:28
He was a good power hitter and he couldn't hit for average.
21:31
If you go up and down the Yankees rosters over the years,
21:35
they haven't been good 512 players.
21:38
They don't grow on trees for the Yankees.
21:40
They haven't grown on trees for the Yankees since the 50s.
21:44
Since the 40s, it hasn't been that that good for the Yankees.
21:48
Even Thurman Munson, when Thurman Munson was coming up as
21:51
one of the great catches for the New York Yankees, what was on
21:54
that roster? Lou Pinella?
21:56
I mean, come on, There was nothing.
21:58
That's why they had to make a trade for Reggie, Reggie
22:01
Jackson. They weren't good, and that's
22:05
the problem. Well, who's the best?
22:07
What was the best, best prospect for the Yankees in the 80s?
22:11
Roberto Kelly, who was traded for Paul O'Neill.
22:14
We never even got a chance to see Roberto Kelly.
22:16
Oh, I'm sorry. We saw Pat Kelly.
22:18
Randy Velardi. Remember him?
22:19
I mean, come on, guys. They weren't good.
22:22
And then they bring in guys from Kansas City like Danny Turnable,
22:25
who had one or two good seasons when it came to power.
22:28
The Yankees had a winning record in the 80s and could never get
22:31
over the hump because there was no wild card teens in the 80s.
22:34
And in the 90s we all know Donnie Baseball could never get
22:37
over the hump because Donnie Baseball couldn't stay healthy
22:40
after the mid 80s he had back problems.
22:42
And then in the 90s, unfortunately, the Yankees
22:45
slowly but surely found ways to draft players.
22:50
However way they did it, the Yankees have not been that good
22:53
since then. And Jabba, you know all about it
22:55
because you were a first round draft pick with Ian Kennedy.
22:59
Yeah, I mean that that kind of that streak too, because Hughesy
23:02
was was a little bit before us in the first round too.
23:05
And yeah, I mean, it's it's interesting how they've they've
23:09
tried to. And I remember I think it was
23:12
2010 when we got like Carrie Wood and I think I've mentioned
23:15
this before, but I think we had in that team, I think we had
23:18
like 14 or 15. It was the most ever first round
23:21
draft picks on one team. And you know, it just it there
23:24
hasn't been many since that's happened.
23:26
And I mean, it's crazy. It was funny you mentioned Clint
23:29
Frazier. He he he's starting to get back
23:32
on the talking shit train about certain things.
23:36
And of course he's like, he's like, should I start my own
23:39
baseball? Actually, he just said it today,
23:40
like start his own baseball show.
23:42
And then somebody's like, oh, you should team up with Clint
23:44
Frazier. And I'm like, I don't know about
23:46
that, but yeah, so it's it's I don't think it hasn't, it hasn't
23:53
been one. That's and obviously, you know,
23:55
Volpe's been three years. So obviously it's, it's it's
23:58
enough to have AI guess a subject matter of like, yeah, it
24:03
hasn't been a year, It's been three years.
24:05
And we kind of see what it is. So it there, there's been, I
24:09
wouldn't say not lack of trying it.
24:13
It's like lack of when to when to use them and, and if you have
24:17
those guys, you know, when do you bring him up?
24:20
And it's something that, you know, we all kind of go around
24:23
in a circle. It's like, do you bring him up
24:25
to have the energy? Do you do you take that risk of
24:28
maybe stunning his growth or doing whatever?
24:30
So, and we're all kind of in agreeance and disagreeing on on
24:34
certain aspects of how it works, but there really hasn't been
24:37
that many that you look at lately that have thrived, you
24:40
know, and been able to, you know, not necessarily put the
24:45
team on your shoulders, but carry the backpack.
24:47
So it'll be interesting to see how it is.
24:49
And and like you said, they to to reach 90 wins, they have to
24:52
go 30 and 20 in the next to to get 90 wins.
24:55
Like we didn't think that was going to be I did.
24:58
Absurd number. Yeah, I thought the leaders were
25:01
going to win 95, I think. He said it was going to be
25:04
close. I think he had like 87.
25:05
No, no, no. I had the Yankees winning over
25:07
90. I did.
25:08
Oh. I did, yeah.
25:10
So I and that's where it's like, man, that's there's only one
25:14
team that's that's playing at that clip right now and that's
25:17
the Brewers. But yeah, they just lost some
25:19
guys. But still right now that's the
25:20
only team. So it's going to be tough.
25:22
And it's going to be interesting to see how, when and if.
25:26
I guess from the reports on Twitter and Boland, Eric Boland
25:32
reported to on Twitter that Judge is headed to Texas.
25:36
They haven't announced anything yet.
25:39
See, they're obviously going to have to make a correlating move
25:41
with who's going to be sent out because you're going to have to
25:43
make room for him and how that's going to affect Stan.
25:48
Haven't really read much if he's taking many reps in the outfield
25:52
as of right now. So that's going to take away at
25:56
bats and they're talking about maybe starting a throwing
26:00
program with judge here, but they haven't even said if he's
26:02
going to come off. He's eligible to come off
26:04
tomorrow. But will he?
26:07
And I think that's kind of he's he's headed back to Texas.
26:10
So we we'll see. It's I mean, there's a lot of
26:12
what ifs at this point and especially, you know, with the
26:16
lineup that they're featuring tonight, we'll see what they
26:18
might go out and score 10 runs. You never know.
26:21
That's the. Problem that's the problem
26:23
because Aaron Boone keeps moving around this lineup and it's not
26:26
his fault everybody every Yankee fan is attacking this guy on
26:29
social media keep doing this and I I don't think Aaron Boone's
26:33
going to last after this season. I really don't if the Yankees
26:36
failed to make the playoffs during the second wild card
26:38
spot, I know everybody keeps saying he's tied to Brian
26:41
Cashman, but you know how how will keep Brian Cashman because
26:45
they have a connection. They grew up together, like you
26:47
said, Jabba, all these years with the Yankees in the
26:49
organization. I don't know if if that
26:51
connection is still there when it comes to how.
26:55
And then obviously a guy like Aaron Boone now Aaron Boone is a
26:58
guy that I like. I do believe Aaron Boone, if he
27:01
gets fired from the Yankees, I'm sure there are going to be 5 or
27:05
6 other teams lining up for him. I, I know guys like Fish and
27:09
other people all over social media that have podcasts and
27:12
Yankee podcasts have taken shots at Aaron Boone.
27:15
Some of the lackluster moves that he made, obviously on
27:18
Friday, what he did with that that absolute debacle in in
27:23
extra innings with Jazz, Chisholm and and the Yankees.
27:26
The Yankees have been a major, major problem when it comes to
27:32
certain fans and the way they've played over the last couple of
27:34
years. And the Yankees have really
27:37
blame of the Yankee fans have really blamed not the players,
27:40
but Aaron Boone over the last couple years.
27:42
Meanwhile, Aaron Boone was the same manager that took that team
27:45
all the way to the World Series. Yes, they choked in the World
27:49
Series, but he still was the manager.
27:51
And by the way, he was the manager of the American League
27:54
East in the All Star Game. I know it doesn't matter, but he
27:57
was. But nobody gives him credit for
27:59
taking that team all the way to the World Series.
28:01
And honestly, I could go back over and over and over again
28:05
over the years that Joe Girardi was there.
28:06
Was Joe really that much better than Aaron Boone?
28:10
Not really. I mean, Joe Girardi had better
28:12
rosters than Aaron Boone in his first four years.
28:16
I mean, look, as soon as Joe Girardi came, got the manager
28:20
position, what did the Yankees do?
28:21
They added CC Sabathia, they added AJ Burnett and Mark
28:25
Teixeira. OK, Have they have the Yankees
28:28
done any of that since Aaron Boone's been there?
28:31
Have the Yankees spent over $700 million for three players since
28:37
Aaron Boone's been there? The answer would be no.
28:40
So I know everybody wants to say that Aaron Boone is the complete
28:44
blame for it. Hey, if the Yankee fans wanted
28:46
Juan Soto, why were they bitching and moaning after the
28:50
fact? Juan Soto went to that press
28:52
conference with the New York Mets and he said, you know, he
28:54
picked the right New York team. Goodbye, farewell.
28:57
Meanwhile, the Yankee fans behind the scenes were saying,
29:00
we just lost Juan Soto for $768 million.
29:04
Why did our ownership actually actually pay him?
29:06
Maybe because they went after 3-4 guys, gave them some depth
29:10
because that's what the Yankees were lacking in the playoffs
29:13
last year. That's the fact.
29:16
The Yankees have no depth. They have none.
29:19
And I they're going to overpay for Kyle Tucker in the offseason
29:22
if he decides to leave the Chicago Cubs.
29:25
They're. Not I would say I would use it
29:27
different. They have bodies, they don't
29:29
have depth, they have bodies to put out.
29:31
OK, I'm sorry. So let me present you this
29:34
question. OK.
29:35
So you're saying that Booney doesn't last past this year?
29:38
No, I don't think so, no. So what direction do you go
29:41
then? That's a good question.
29:43
And you know it's going to be with him because I believe now I
29:47
think Brian Cashman is there for at least his contract.
29:50
I think after this contract Brian Cashman will step down.
29:53
There's quite a few people that a lot of people believe could
29:57
take over for Brian Cashman. Two of the guys or girls that
30:02
have been quoted to possibly take over if Brian Cashman ever
30:05
steps down. I I look at the manager position
30:09
either the Yankees stay within. If I was running this team and I
30:13
was the GM of the GM of this team, like Brian Cashman, I'm
30:17
making a call to Mark Del Rosa. That's who I'm reaching out to.
30:21
I think Mark De Rosa, he was Team USA head coach, head
30:25
manager over there. I think he has a lot of people's
30:28
ears in baseball. He speaks very highly still of
30:32
the New York Yankees. I've seen him on podcast over
30:34
the last couple of months, still thinking that the Yankees are
30:37
contenders in the American League.
30:39
I, I just, I, there's something that tells me there is something
30:43
missing when it comes to depth with the infield and then
30:47
obviously with the health in the outfield.
30:50
And I think that if Bellinger does come back and he do they do
30:54
extend him. He's got to play first base next
30:56
year. I, I cannot see him playing in
30:58
the outfield. They need more depth in the
31:01
outfield. Maybe a Kyle Tucker, but again,
31:04
job, I don't know. I don't know what the Yankees
31:05
are thinking. They're going to probably hire
31:07
somebody that's a part of this roster, this management right
31:12
now on on the bench right now. Or do they reach out to Don
31:16
Manningly, A guy Donnie Baseball is doing a great job with the
31:19
Blue Jays right now and is looking to add to another roster
31:25
when it comes to a managing position.
31:26
This is a guy that failed with the Marlins, failed with the
31:29
Dodgers, and always wanted to manage the New York Yankees.
31:32
He brought he was brought up in the Yankees organization, never
31:35
won with the Yankees organization, and he was passed
31:37
up on Joe Girardi when he was being interviewed.
31:41
And Joe Girardi did win a World Series in 2009.
31:44
And Donnie Baseball took over for Joe Torre and could never
31:47
get over the hump over there with the Dodgers.
31:49
But I, I just think that Donnie's done a great job over
31:52
there. I think you reach out to Don
31:54
and, and see if if he's a good fit over that.
31:56
But the problem is, does Brian Cashman like Don Manly?
31:59
That's the thing. And I know Jabba, you're not a
32:02
big fan of Brian, but again, I don't know what's thinking in
32:06
his little pea brain over there. He's got a big head.
32:09
The organization has a lot of big heads over there as
32:12
executives. I'm not going to, I'm not going
32:14
to name any guys because I don't want to hurt myself if if we're
32:17
planning to work with the Yankees.
32:18
But anybody that knows the Yankees knows that the Yankees
32:21
have a lot of big executives and a round table.
32:24
Speaking of Hal and giving their feedback on what they know.
32:28
It's not George Steinburn anymore, ladies and gentlemen.
32:30
It's just not. Unfortunately, if you're a
32:32
Yankee fan, you can't be happy on what you're watching.
32:35
This is not good baseball. If you're if you're a Yankee
32:37
fan, watching the Mets and watching what the Mets are
32:40
doing, it makes you sick. It makes you sick.
32:44
I am sick watching the Mets because Juan Soto's finally
32:48
figuring things out. They're getting power in the
32:50
middle of the lineup by Pete Alonso.
32:52
And by the way, they added depth to the bullpen, which they
32:55
haven't had in over 10 years. More than that.
32:58
I mean, seriously, the the Yankees should be the Mets and
33:03
the Mets should be the Yankees, but it's the opposite.
33:06
Let's flip and I'll tell you, I'm flipping right now because I
33:09
think the Mets have a good chance of making a run right
33:12
through the playoffs in a National League that's wide
33:15
open. Besides Milwaukee, who scares
33:18
you? Who scares you in the National
33:21
League? Nobody does.
33:23
It's just Milwaukee and Milwaukee.
33:25
They're choke artists in the playoffs, but I'm not even
33:27
talking about them. The Yankees, another mediocre,
33:31
you know, conference there. There is really no slam dunk in
33:36
that conference. The American League conferences,
33:38
there really isn't. Are you going to trust that the
33:41
Astros have the best team now? They have the pedigree.
33:44
They had a Correa, he's playing third base.
33:47
They bring him back. Maybe he gets more pop in that
33:49
bat, which he hasn't had in the last past year.
33:52
I, I, I don't know. To me this is probably the most
33:56
mediocre season when it came when it comes to baseball
33:59
throughout the league, it's so mediocre.
34:02
How many 90 win teams are we going to have in the major
34:05
leagues this year? Really?
34:07
I, I don't know, 5 maybe. I don't even know if we're going
34:10
to have five, maybe 3. It's it's really bad right now.
34:14
Now Maybe it's, it's, it looks like baseball is more
34:17
interesting to watch because there's no powerhouse team.
34:21
I, I mean, you want to see, you want to see an evil empire like
34:24
the Yankees. The Dodgers look like they were
34:26
the next evil empire with their deferred money.
34:28
I should have given them their, their name evil and blue or
34:31
whatever the hell you want to call them.
34:33
I, I just, to me, you can't be happy the way the Yankees have
34:37
played. Yankee fans are going to point
34:39
their fingers at somebody and it's going to be the manager.
34:41
In every sport. It usually is not the player,
34:44
it's the manager or the GM. And that's who usually goes
34:48
first or last or both. I don't know.
34:52
So there you go. I'm just, I'm just talking.
34:54
Errol. Who else is supposed to keep
34:56
them accountable though? If it's not the manager, who?
34:59
Else does it yourself. Each other I mean.
35:02
All right. So that's a great point.
35:04
But here's the thing, guys that are coming up, we have a lot of
35:07
young guys. Volpe we talked about on this
35:09
show for weeks now, he's just not getting it done.
35:12
How come all these young guys seem to go through struggles and
35:15
we haven't seen them? I mean, Dominguez has been up
35:19
and down since he's been here as well.
35:22
I'm not convinced that the coaching and the like, let's
35:27
just call it like the mindset in the clubhouse is where it needs
35:30
to be for these younger players. And I I just don't know if
35:33
that's something that is like endemic in the minor league
35:37
system where they don't have the focus.
35:39
I don't know what it is, but a lot of it just seems like sloppy
35:44
play and they're not getting better.
35:46
And usually that's the coach. Now, I know we've said, we heard
35:50
Jim layer it, say it on this show as recently as a week ago,
35:53
that you know, that that a lot of these decisions come from up
35:56
top, from the MIT guys like Lenny, who invented the torpedo
36:00
bats to try to make these guys better to do.
36:03
The hell is, I still think it's the coach.
36:05
Remember this first story? I know, I know, Lenny the
36:07
Pizzeria man. Lenny, if you're listening to
36:09
the show, I love you, man. But I'm sorry, he's a big Yankee
36:14
fan, by the way. He's a legend.
36:15
Yes. Wow, you never met Lenny at the
36:17
pizzeria? Mike No, I know Lenny the
36:19
torpedo bat inventor. Wow.
36:21
Because he thought, we thought beginning of the year, you know,
36:23
Volpe started real hot. He had the torpedo bat.
36:26
He was hitting oppo homers and now he's still hitting homers.
36:31
But a lot of the rest of the game is not rounded out
36:33
offensively and the base running across the entire team.
36:38
I I, I just can't understand it. If that's not a coaching thing,
36:42
I don't know what is. But Jabba, I'm real concerned
36:46
because you said something that makes a lot of sense to me as a
36:49
coach. I can only keep my players
36:51
accountable as much as I can. You have to keep your, the guy
36:55
next to them accountable. And if they're not doing it, I
36:58
mean, what are you supposed to do?
36:59
Like, it's like, you got to blow it up, don't you?
37:02
Yeah. I mean, yeah, a little bit.
37:03
But the one thing that like bother me, like and I I wouldn't
37:08
say I'm a huge fan of Jazz. I wouldn't say I I dislike him
37:11
as much as as Errol does. But like what got me in this
37:15
whole thing was he said he was trying to make a play.
37:18
Like, what were you? What play were you trying to
37:20
make? Like, dude, you've known the
37:22
infield like the options of what?
37:25
Like what play are you trying to make in that instance?
37:27
And then it's like Booney pulls the first base coach and like is
37:32
trying to give him the business. Like what what do you what what
37:36
do you want me to say? I I I said get back.
37:39
Is there like I physically can't touch the guy and grab him to
37:41
get your ass on the base. The fact that it was so close
37:45
that he had to slide back in is awful.
37:48
Makes it look even worse. And then like to what you're
37:51
saying is the accountability, like I don't necessarily say you
37:55
berate him right in front of God and everybody, right, but like
37:58
pull him down. There was there was a great
37:59
highlight of AJ Hench when Javi Baez did something in Detroit
38:04
and it was in Toronto. He took him under, gave him the
38:07
business. And then he said, Javi, you're
38:09
done. He grabbed his stuff and he went
38:10
out. Like that in essence needs to
38:14
happen at some point. And it's you know, it's I'm
38:17
going to use a yogiism. If there's a fork in a road,
38:19
take it. But he's not taking anything.
38:22
The only fork, the only fork he's running into is the fork in
38:26
Aaron Boones ass because that's what he's going to be picking
38:30
and that's Dixies. When Aaron Boone is going to be
38:32
let go in the offseason because he can't listen.
38:35
He doesn't listen. Chisholm has been the the bona
38:39
fide Nick Swisher, and I like Nick Swisher.
38:42
Nick Swisher actually listened to guys, you know, on the bench.
38:45
This man, even though he's spiteful and he's dancing in the
38:49
locker room and everybody says they love him in the locker room
38:52
and he's got so much enthusiasm and he's playing the music.
38:56
So did Nick Swisher went rock and heavy metal and all that
38:59
stuff that you heard. We're hearing that Chisholm is
39:02
more out there speaking to many different podcasts and saying
39:07
the things that he's saying, saying that the Yankees are
39:09
still one of the best teams in the league.
39:10
Where where do you see that? This is not a good team.
39:14
This is not a good baseball team.
39:17
I don't know why anybody's selling this to the Yankee fans.
39:20
Here's what the Yankees are doing right now.
39:22
They're still opening their pockets.
39:24
How? Still opening his pockets.
39:26
Even though it's not the players that Yankee fans want, They want
39:29
superstar players. Well, OK.
39:31
Is Max Free the superstar player?
39:33
Well, he's not the cherry. He's not that cherry that you
39:37
put on an ice cream cone. But guess what?
39:40
What soda was in? The Yankees had them.
39:42
Why did the Yankees give him a contract?
39:44
I didn't want them. But Yankee fans work bitching
39:46
and moaning after the fact when he signed with the Mets and then
39:50
when he spoke at the at the press conference, like I just
39:53
said, what did they say? Oh, good, good riddance.
39:56
We don't need you. We have Max Freed, we have Mr.
39:59
Bellinger. We had that.
40:00
They could have still brought Bellinger in in with the team.
40:03
And even if they made made that decision to bring Soto back, it
40:07
is embarrassing what the Yankees are doing right now.
40:10
There's nothing that sells to me.
40:12
Even if the Yankees make the playoffs, they're making a run.
40:16
This is not a good roster. Marcus Stroman.
40:18
Thank God they got rid of that stupid ass a Patchogue Medford
40:23
guy. I didn't want to see him anymore
40:26
in the Yankee colors. The Yankee.
40:28
Pictures, everybody called that too.
40:29
Like he's going to, he'll post something within like hours.
40:33
And like I remember Gary Sheffield Junior, who I was on
40:36
their show and I went and looked back at one of his streets.
40:39
How long till it takes him to do?
40:42
And then he posted the picture like saying that, oh, he's
40:44
still, he does, no worry in the world, whatever.
40:46
I think it was like 4 or five hours, something like that,
40:48
where he took the picture on the plane and said adios, whatever,
40:52
Like his watch or whatever. It's like, all right, dude, we
40:55
get it. Like, yeah, OK, whatever.
40:57
It's embarrassing, it's embarrassing, and every Yankee
41:00
fan is trying to find somebody to blame.
41:03
Oh, if Aaron Judge was 100% healthy all season long, the
41:06
Yankees would have just drove all the way into the playoffs in
41:09
first place. What drugs are you guys on?
41:12
What are you guys smoking? If you're sniffing some lines,
41:15
it better be good stuff. They did right now.
41:18
The Yankees are not a good team. This is not a good roster.
41:22
How many times do I have to tell the Yankee fans over and over
41:25
and over again? My blood vessels are popping out
41:28
of my neck. I'm a Yankee fan.
41:30
Everybody wants to attack me on the Anthony Edwards take and I,
41:33
I sent out post on why I said what I said about Anthony
41:37
Edwards. All you guys want to say what
41:39
you want on this take. Here's the take.
41:42
The Yankees are not a good team. They're not good.
41:45
Wait until next year until Garrett Cole comes back and see
41:48
what you got with Garrett Cole and Max Freed.
41:50
As long as he stays away from the blister problems and Rodon
41:53
has a back-to-back year which we've never seen in his whole
41:56
career. And then if Luisio Atticus can
41:59
actually stay healthy for a full season as a pitcher, if that all
42:02
happens. Oh, and by the way, Clark
42:04
Schmidt actually pitches 20 games.
42:06
If that all happens, the Yankees will make a run next year.
42:09
This is not the Yankees year. Jabba will admit to it now.
42:14
Now, I think any baseball fan that knows the New York Yankees
42:18
and that absolutely our real Yankee fans will tell you this
42:22
is not a good roster. Before we move on, I just want
42:26
to ask you rank you the most annoying athletes, Jazz
42:28
Chisholm, Anthony Edwards and Travis Hunter.
42:32
Travis Hunt, I would go. Travis Hunter Chisholm.
42:35
He did. He did self proclaim his own
42:37
nickname by the way. Oh, Gremlin.
42:40
No, that's yourself. That's your proclaimed name to
42:44
him. Okay, I thought he actually
42:47
claimed the did. You hear what it was, right?
42:49
No. What was it?
42:49
What was it? The Unicorn.
42:51
Please the grapple. Errol, Just so you know, Travis
42:57
Hunter is listed as a starting wide receiver and a backup
43:01
cornerback. Can't wait to watch this
43:03
debacle. Or his roster.
43:04
So all those comments as going to draft, I remember I was being
43:08
shouted down about how he wouldn't be a receiver first.
43:11
Don't worry, you'll be it'll be shouted down when he fails to be
43:14
that and he'll be right back as a corner and failed to do that
43:18
as. Well it does help Errol's bet
43:19
with Quinn couples though for Travis Hunter not getting
43:21
interception all. Season that's true, and the only
43:23
reason why is because the coaching over there is going to
43:26
bow down to Mr. Gremlin himself until they realize he's nothing
43:30
to sniff about and he might be doing sniffing of his own
43:34
sniffing somebody'd ass. I'd like to thank Spotify and
43:37
all the Apple downloads followers, a tick tock at
43:39
Instagram and all the social medias.
