There's Tommy again. No, I think I'm good. I think it was I'm going to blame it on Tyon. I'm going to blame it on him. I don't think it was me. Okay. I'm going to blame it on you.

Good pronunciation of his name there. Well, he said it like you said it like six times, so now I'll never mess it up. I also, I know we're going to get the interview. I think he was stretching during the interview.

What do you mean?

I think he was stretching, like I think he was doing stretches. Okay, sure. I don't know. We could see him and did not appear. Just look like he was holding his phone the whole time.

I guess that I was just I guess maybe I'm seeing things. You probably always see a lot of things. But yeah, so yeah, much mentioned that we've got James and Tyon. I'm drilling the name of the pronunciation of the last name, but we got him on the show a little later.

A few news and notes. Yankees have signed a few people. It seems like they're finally the rosters basically just a bread gardener away from being finalized. I feel like he will he'll just show up and they'll give him money. But three guys.

J. Bruce Justin Wilson, Robinson Srinos are on the Yankees. We'll start with J. Bruce. I just kind of shrugged my shoulder. It wasn't even worth like a I don't think I tweeted about it. It was just like, Oh, J. Bruce.

I like it. I'm like, I'm not jumping for joy, but a minor league deal. He's a guy that a lefty like they need lefty power. Who knows me? You know, he had one 98.

One 98. I'm just saying never know. It's not you like it. Like there's zero reason. There's zero reason to not like it. It's a minor league deal.

No, for sure. But like, no, there's no reason to get like he hasn't excited about it. He hasn't hit above 221 since 2018. So that's not great.

Like I remember when I bet against these like, but bet on teams that were playing J. Bruce and he would come up to the plate. I'm like, yes, like we were good listening because he could not hit the ball anymore.

Yeah, although I feel like when he was on Indians, I think he got us. I feel like in the playoffs. Like he had like one good hit or whatever. And then that playoff series. I could be wrong. But he's got some power.

Yeah, well, I just remember like that. Remember that series was crazy where they came back from 2.0. But he was a little bit of a motherfucker. But yeah, power bet left handed. Obviously like a guy that like people are like, oh, Mike Ford's done and all this. No, he's not like. There's nothing. By the way, Ford put on his story. That guy's he slimmed down. He was, I think he's slimmed down like 20 more pounds in the offseason. He looks like he put some work in the offseason, which is that's awesome because obviously 2020 wasn't so great. But yeah, I don't really think.

He's just he's just insurance just a debt piece insurance. He's a lefty. He's got some pop. We'll see what he does.

Robins and Torinos. He's the Philbier third catcher because crats is retired. Yeah, behind Higgy. People like, oh, this means the end of Gary bringing around Mr. Torinos. What are you talking about? Yeah, no.

I didn't like that clip. You see the clip of him talking. Yeah, I was going to bring that up. He has that clip about how Yankee fans left early during their series or whatever and then ended up backfire because the series against the gnats. I think right after that they were seen or the Dodgers. There were scenes of them.

Their Astros fans like fleeing the stadium. Right. So I kind of off the bat. Hey Tim. Kind of don't like this guy at all. Yeah, he's an astro too.

But hopefully we don't have to say. Yeah, he is numbers last year. We're one of like the worst. I think he put up a negative war in like 82 played appearances and the year before that was really. He's just not very good.

But he's a third catcher. He's a dead piece again. So it's nothing to like get all riled up about. The third guy Justin Wilson. Big fan of this. One because the meds kind of feel like the reaction was like,

why aren't we paying this guy anything? Like he's just a rock solid pitcher. Good left handed guy out of the back of the bullpen. Yanks got him. I think it's four million. I don't know if they released like the actual parameters of the contract.
