| 0:00.0 | I got a guy who lives and breathes baseball, right? |
| 0:04.3 | You want that from a manager, right? |
| 0:06.1 | Yeah. |
| 0:06.6 | A guy who knows what it's like to be in New York, right? |
| 0:10.3 | You want that, right? |
| 0:11.8 | A guy, I love this idea. |
| 0:14.0 | I'm so excited to tell you this idea, |
| 0:16.1 | even though I don't think the Yankees would have the hutzpah to do it. |
| 0:18.7 | But in terms of knowing the game, in terms of being around the game, in terms of handling |
| 0:23.8 | the media, can you guys imagine manager of the New York Yankees, Alex Rodriguez? |
| 0:55.2 | Why would he want to do that? Why would he want to? Yes. He tried to buy the match? I'm sure he'd do it. He owns an NBA team. Oh, no, he do it. He do it. You guys are wrong about that. Can he even do that? Can he do what? Can he own an NBA team? Which he's, I don't know. did that fully go through yet that is taking so many twists and I got no idea but whatever let's just say well he he's at least |
| 1:01.1 | a partial owner of an NBA team why would that matter soon to be an an owner of an NBA team |
| 1:05.6 | because he's the owner of another sports brand okay I think he's gonna manage yes he would |
| 1:10.4 | do it I think he'd be I manage? Yes, he would do it. |
| 1:12.7 | I'll tell you why he'd be good at it. |
| 1:10.7 | See, all you Yankee fans love to bring up Don Mattingly and Derek Cheater. Come on, stop with that crap. Arod's the guy. Let me tell you why Arod's the guy. I've always said this about Alex. Loves the game. Remember when the story goes? Jeter couldn't believe Arod would watch baseball when they weren't playing baseball. |
| 1:11.3 | Remember that story? |
| 2:00.9 | Arod was like, how do you not have the baseball package? And Jeter's like, I don't want to watch baseball. The guy loves baseball, lives baseball, wants to be involved. He tried to buy the beds. So A, he would do it. I disagree if you don't think he'd want it. He would do it in a second. I don't know the guy. I'm just assuming it's a grind. Why would you want to go work from somebody when you own a team? Because I think he wants to grind. He loves the sport. Okay. And number two, the media knows how to handle him. Knows the game better than anybody. Knows players better than anybody. knows the pressure is better than anybody. I know when you first hear it, you think it's crazy, psycho, clicks, all that crap. I'm telling you, I think he makes a lot of sense. Look, as far as the nuts and bolts of baseball and being on a bench, I'm with you that I think Alex Rodriguez could do that because he lives in Breeze baseball. but you talk about the media thing. This is not Arod's full, but it's the fact. Arod managing the New York Yankees would rival Tebow Mania. Yeah, but Aeroad deserves it unlike Tim Tebow. It's not about deserving. It's about the circus around Alex Rodriguez being the manager of the Yankees. But I more everything. Yeah, but I think that would be the initial weeks month or so. But then it's going to come down to how well they're playing. 100%. Then it's going to come down to how well he's managing. But you know what else, T? It's going to be less about Alex, the person. It's going to be more about Alex the manager. But you know what else? And I think Arod would do this. Bobby Valentine used to do this. Bobby Valentine would just create controversies to take the attention away from his players. And I thought he would do it on purpose. I don't know if he's ever confirmed that, but I think he did. Aeron could do the same thing. Oh, you guys want to, all you want to talk about is Carlos Roddon's struggles lately? |
| 3:05.4 | Let's talk about me posing in Central Park. Like, Arod would bring all the attention back to him, which actually may be really good for the locker. I'm telling you right now. Now, it won't happen because the Yankees got sued by the guy. Right. They don't necessarily like him. Right. They don't like them. And I don't think Cashman would ever do it. |
| 3:24.7 | But if you strip away how unrealistic it feels. necessarily like them. Right. They don't like them. And I don't think Cashman would ever do it. |
| 3:23.1 | But if you strip away how unrealistic it feels, like one of my buddies, it's texting me right now. Very unrealistic. It feels unrealistic. One of my buddies right away, A-Rod, L-M-F-A-O, which I think is laughing my bleep and bleep off. You think? If you take away all that other stuff, |
| 3:25.6 | dude, your manager's Aaron Boone. |
