Baseball underway and under an amazing way with...

0:07.0

I got to move this. I mean, every night's a hockey night. Not anymore for the Ranger fan for crying out loud.

0:11.6

Why was that even? I don't want to have no idea. But anyway, it started off at a great way for the New York Yankees.

0:18.3

A shutout victory. Seven nothing cruising along. No problems.

0:23.5

Freed great. Offense relentless without home runs. Bullpen comes in. No blips on the radar at all.

0:30.7

So a really, really good start for the Yankees outside of Aaron Judge, but you don't really need to worry about him because you know he's going to be totally fine.

0:39.6

So yeah, I felt like this is it, man. We are right back in it. We got Yankee fans fired off about their team again. We got everybody complaining about the broadcast. And Boomer put his Yankee sweatshirt on again today. Good morning, Boomer! How are you?

0:52.6

Number one, it's not a Yankee sweatshirt.

0:54.3

It's a Jay Cruz sweatshirt, so I don't want to hear about it, all right?

0:57.2

And I don't lay out. on again today. Good morning, Boomer. How are you? Number one, it's not a Yankee sweatshirt.

0:54.3

It's a Jay Cruz sweatshirt, so I don't want to hear about it, right? And I don't lay out my clothes the night before. I just pick, you know, something out of the dark and throw it on. This was just a total coincidence. 100% coincidence. And by the way, the first thing I thought about last night, honestly. Yeah.

1:08.9

Was thank God Trent Grisham picked

1:11.0

up his option. Really? That's the first

1:12.9

thing I thought. I mean, because, you know, everybody's screaming and yelling about that for the last six months. Yeah, they're not happy about it. Yeah. I mean, but he came through last night, you know, and it's one of 162 for sure. And, you know, it's, I think you said it. I mean, Max Freed's the story, honestly, because, you know it's uh i think you said i mean max frets the story honestly

1:29.3

because you know he was just absolutely amazing and great and uh that i mean if you were our

1:34.5

player and you were the uh opening day starting pitcher you couldn't ask for a better outing

1:40.7

and that's and that's something that you, every team hopes for and wishes for,

1:45.3

and unfortunately for Webb of the Giants. It's the other way around. But, you know, look, all I can

1:51.7

say is that is a great start, and that's all it is. It's a start. So here we go. Yep, that's

1:57.3

right. And you said that you couldn't ask for anything more for Max Reed. You probably couldn't

2:00.3

ask anything worse from Logan Webb, but from the Yankee fan perspective, who cares? And all the things that you want to see and the things that we hear about, not like everything is cured at one baseball game. We know that is not the case. But this is the way you want to see him win. You want to see the dominant starting pitching.

2:54.4

You want to see them be able to score runs without the home run. And it's great when Aaron Judge has four strikeouts and he's old for five that the Yankees still find a way to score seven runs. And there's just no sweat at all in a victory. I was just thinking at the bottom of the lineup starting, you know, when you get the jazz chisholm in the lineup and then you look down, you look at all the guys that actually came through here. It was good. Everybody had a hit in the game with the exception of Aaron Judge. So as you said, I'm not worried about that. But, you know, you think about, Stanton had two hits and then, of course, Lost of the Wells had two hits. Yep. Maybe his elbows are feeling pretty good. They have to be. They have to be with that exit velo, 114 miles an hour on one of those line drives. Don't do that. No, I was just saying. That's what they were talking about. They were talking about it.
