Ty Butler in from Michael Dining Peter on the K show. We're going to six o'clock right here on 98 7 ESPN 800 919 3776. We are cook it. We bring the ruckus.

Hit us up on Twitter at TM KS ESPN at Ty D Butler Instagram as well, hanging with Harvey and Joe Leo for the next three hours.

You want to get involved in a conversation. You know how to do it so much on the table. I am now in the studio on the big screen watching the Yankee game.

Looks like those three run leads are just not insurmountable in this series Yankees came back from the three O deficit to win last night in the opener of this four game set against Baltimore today.

They went up three nothing before the Orioles tied the game Yankees now threatening in the bottom of the fifth inning. So we'll keep you posted on this one.

When it goes final, we'll get your reaction as you're leaving Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. And for Aaron Hicks, he had a solo shot that had to feel great.

And Joe Leo is telling me that might be his best moment at Yankee Stadium of his career. He hit one and you know the vitriol he has received so far since coming back to the Bronx.

He's been playing really well for Baltimore, but Yankee fans just let him have it. I said in the past the worst thing to happen for him was Joey Callow getting moved because all the smoke now was aimed in his direction.

So we'll keep you posted on that game. Mets get a little started later on at 410. They are in Arizona on a West Coast trip against a really good diamond backs team.

It is Scherzer against Davies eight hundred nine one nine three seven seven six happy fourth to all of you as Gordon said to add to conclude his show.

Be safe out there. Have some fun. Do what you do. Hang with the family. Little barbecue action.

But make sure you keep all your fingers. We all think about that the JP P story firecracker is that that's one that goes the wrong way where you lose a couple fingers you want to have that happen.

So be safe. Be careful out there. No drinking and driving eight hundred nine one nine three seven seven six we get started with basketball.

Because I feel that I have to today especially empathize with the Nick fan base because it feels like to me.

They want something that the organization just can't seem to provide and it's the ideal way to build a team right you build through the draft.

It's it is you know prioritizing getting good young players developing them keeping them and building in dynasty.

We saw it happen in Golden State. We were watching it unfold in Milwaukee the healthiest way to build your team one that can consistently compete and contend for championships with longevity comes in the form of doing so while building through the draft.

It is increasingly difficult to do that when the organization keeps missing on lottery pick. So the news this past weekend we saw come across our timeline was that of all be topping former lottery pick eighth overall

was traded away for two second round picks. So I'm thinking to myself how badly have they screwed this up because yes,

you can be optimistic and you don't look at what they've done making the playoffs in two of the last three seasons and feel good about the direction of the fan base.
