Now let's get to a guy I really like.

Who's that?

But I'm going to have a tough time defending him today, and that is Jazz Chisholm. All right? Now, we all love jazz. Of course. How could you not love jazz? I do. I love the guy. Chisholm! Yes. On Saturday, he was involved in a play in which it really wasn't anybody's fault. The Yankees brought the fifth infielder in,

Cody Bellinger, which I always hate because as a guy who scores games, I don't even know how I would score that. If he got the, uh, if he was part of the getting the out. What if it's a line drive right out of him? Am I writing L7? I don't even know. Yeah. I guess I do. L7 on the infield.

Right.

Right.

So there's a chopper hit

towards jazz chisholm in which either he can throw home to get the lead runner and keep the game tied in the bottom of the 10th inning. He could try to tag the runner and quickly throw to first base, get a double play, the inning is over. And that's pretty much it. Those are the only options. Right. Otherwise, the game is over. And so the play, if you missed it, features Cody Bellinger jumping to try to get the ball. Which distracts jazz, by the way. Probably distracted him. Chisholm! He then boppels the baseball to where the game is over. Like, as soon as there's a bobble, there's nothing you could do.

I think as soon as there's a chop, there's nothing you can do.

Not necessarily.

If he fields it cleanly, he may have enough time to field it and tag the baserunner, passing him by. You've got a chance. I don't know. When you watch it, the baserunner is at him when the ball is at him. That's my point. he's got to feel it's got to be an incredibly quick reflex move

got to be bang bang he's got to he's got to get it

reach blindly yeah to touch the runner who's behind him yes then gather himself and get the

ball to first base to force the inning over yes otherwise it's just as soon as it's chopped

it's just no there's no way for the play to happen as soon as he bibles it the game is over yeah that's how i think as soon as it chopped, there's no way for the play to happen. As soon as he bobbles it, the game is over. Yeah, I think that's how I view it. As soon as it chopped, the game was over. It was a very difficult play. I am not killing jazz for it in terms of he needed to field it incredibly cleanly and then immediately swipe around and tag the base runner and then throw to first base. I don't know what the difficulty rating of a play like that is. I would say on a scale of 100, it's 100. I don't know if it's 100. Dude, he's at him. I think it's an 86. You're blindly swiping at someone behind you. I got you. But let's agree that that's the only thing he could do. Yes, that's the only way that they get out of that inning. So jazz bobbles it, and once he bobbles it, the game is over, but he throws to first base, which I thought was bizarre in the moment because that does nothing. Get the runner out, the game is over, the winning run is scoring. Whatever. Like, the story of the game, to me, wasn't Jazz Chisholm and that play.

There's a lot more that you can bite into why the Yankees lost.

But unfortunately, for Jazz Chisholm, the saying from that, from Hamilton is say less, smile more.

Yes.

Now, Jazz has a great talk less, talk less smile more.

Jazz did a lot of talking after the game in which he revealed he didn't know the rule.

If you haven't heard it yet, take a lesson.

Yeah, I was really going to go try to tag the runner and just throw it the first.
