We interrupt this traffic report for some actual content.

1:14.2

Oh my God. That's the longest traffic report I've ever heard of my life. What are we doing over here? Sneezing in the middle of it. I don't know. What a disaster. Anyway, it's Alan Jerry. By the way, real quick, I know we talked about the Mets and the Yankees already, though. Could you imagine you get hit in the face with a 99-mile-an-hour fastball?

1:44.3

You have to go to the hospital. And, oh, by the way, that was strike two. Yeah. I mean, injury to insult, insult to injury. Wow, that's David Fry of the Guardians last night, who squared to bunt on a Tarrick scoble fastball, missed it, and it hit him square in the face. I mean, you don't talk about scary as hell. So I got him. Because he tried to bunt? Oh, he didn't pull back. He missed. No. This is why I was not a good hitter in Littily. I told you. Get into the face? Well, I told you I had at least one year where I had zero hits. At least one year? Zero hits. It was always one year. Now it's at least one year. But I was a kid who walked a lot because I was shorter. And occasionally the manager are going to be a bunt sign? Yes. This is what I was afraid of. We love kids that can't hit, ask them to bunt. No. You got to know how to do it, though. Well, this guy knows how to do it, and he took a 90-to-mile-bought-fowardness to him. Part of the issue was the pitch was up and in a little bit. It wasn't a crazy. He wasn't head hunting or anything. But it was a fastball that was off the inside part of the plate. And Fry turns. He's got the bat right in front of his face as opposed to being slightly off to the right a little bit. And it's, again, I think because the ball came at him and it's 99 miles. But you realize how fast that is. You've got no time to react. Let me ask you this too, Jerry. This guy is the designated hitter last night. Why is he bunting? Isn't the DH supposed to be a home run hitter? So the guardians actually do it a lot. More than, more than, I know, I know it's, we don't bunt anymore but there are teams that do

2:52.6

I think they bunted twice or attempted to bunt two or three times in that inning as a matter

2:57.3

of fact so it's not that's not crazy that they were bunting but yeah I mean well David fry is the

3:02.3

DH but he's also not Cecil Fielder yeah I'm also afraid like is the pitch going to hit my hand if I'm squaring around the bun. You know what I mean? There's so many dangerous things about bunting. Why couldn't we teach someone to bun just by sticking the bat out? I guess you go. You know what I mean? Like, like, you don't have as much control over the bat as you would when you're holding it. And there'd be no power behind it. So yourunt would be like six inches off the plate, would just stop. And you get thrown out very quickly. Yeah. We still get the sacrifice, I suppose, although you could get the lead runner. But I don't think it's as easy as what you're saying. Mm-hmm. And the good bunters can directionally bunt, which you can do with the bat if you've got more control over the bat. If you just stick the bat out, doink. Yeah, that's not exactly what we're

3:44.6

looking for. can directionally bunt, which you can do with the bat if you've got more control over the bat.
