00:00
John Birdie in the lineup hitting ninth and playing first base.
00:07
John, you have more seasons in Cape Cod Open than whoever the hell that is.
00:12
John, they acquired from the Marlins back right before the season started.
00:16
He missed a substantial amount of time this year with a calf injury, but he's in there
00:21
tonight.
00:22
34 years old, gives you a little bit of speed on the bases, a decent glove, I guess.
00:27
And against the lefty Reagans, he'll be out there tonight.
00:30
So let's go, John.
00:31
Is that because Rice can't hit?
00:33
Well, I mean, they played Cabrera the other night against the righty.
00:39
So I guess they don't want to play Cabrera against the lefty, and they don't want to
00:42
play, obviously, Rice against the lefty.
00:45
So they don't have a lot of options.
00:47
So John Birdie in the Yankee lineup here.
00:52
He'll hit a home run like Boone did back in the day that got him a manager's job for
00:57
the rest of his life.
00:58
The guy hit 125 his whole career.
01:00
He hit one home run.
01:01
He's been a manager ever since.
01:03
It's unbelievable that that guy is a manager.
01:06
It's unbelievable that that hack player became the manager of the Yankees.
01:11
Yankees 7-8-9 tonight.
01:12
Volpe, Verdugo, and Birdie.
01:16
Not exactly murderer's row there at the bottom of the lineup against a really good pitcher
01:19
like Cole Regans, who's going to be on the mound.
01:22
I like Verdugo better than you do.
01:24
I think he's performed in the playoffs before.
01:27
I know you can't stand him, but we can't have everything.
01:31
You know, you don't like him.
01:32
I like him a little bit.
01:33
I don't love him.
01:34
I like him a little bit.
01:35
I told you, I wanted him more than your boy, what do they call him?
01:39
What's his nickname?
01:40
The Martian?
01:41
The Martian.
01:42
Dominguez.
01:43
Yeah, Dominguez.
01:44
What do they call him the Martian for?
01:46
What is that?
01:47
I don't know.
01:48
I don't know.
01:49
I wish he played a little bit more like the Martian, that's for sure.
01:53
Come on.
01:54
And give him a reason to actually have a nickname.
01:56
He had two homers in his first two games last year, so he needed a nickname.
02:00
That's just what they all have to do.
02:02
Regans and Rodan tonight.
02:04
Yankees minus 155, plus a buck 30 for the Royals, and a seven and a half.
02:11
Oh God, like, you know, honestly, I'm scared to death of Ronald Regans.
02:17
I think that they can beat the Yankees tonight.
02:19
I really do.
02:21
With that lineup you just gave me, and Judge is, I mean, he is missing everything.
02:26
Like, did you see him whiff three times?
02:28
Like, he was swinging like they're, he could have, it was air conditioning for the entire
02:32
ballpark.
02:33
This guy was swinging and missing so bad.
02:35
People's hair toupees flew off their heads out in left field.
02:39
I mean, honestly, so if he's not hitting, boy, are they average to watch.
02:44
Like I said, they should have never won.
02:45
I mean, you get two bases loaded walks, and Verdugo's the hero, and Chisholm hasn't had
02:50
a hit since July, and he's on base scoring the winning run.
02:55
I'll give him this.
02:56
He can haul ass.
02:58
That guy can haul ass, Jazz Chisholm.
03:00
He's the most exciting.
03:01
He reminds me of Mickey Rivers, but Mickey Rivers hit way better than Jazz Chisholm.
03:06
Yes, indeed he did.
03:09
So I'm with you.
03:10
I think the Royals are going to win tonight and make it one-one going back to Kansas City.
03:15
I just have no confidence in Rodan.
03:19
I just don't.
03:20
By the way, Salve tonight, I always like to give you one of these.
03:26
Salve Perez, 12 for 26, that's 462, with three homers off of Rodan in his career.
03:35
So Salve has seen Rodan fairly well, I guess you could say, so far in his career.
03:41
So there you go.
03:42
That's your one-tater look, possibly, for tonight.
