Summary

The Yankees are calling up Spencer Jones, a move Gio calls great timing since the rolling team doesn’t need a savior. After an 83-year-old calls to thank Jerry for his prostate drink, C-Lo returns as the crew marks Eddie’s final Fridays before his "Kickoff To Summer" departure. We cover the Yankees' win, Bellinger’s hitting, and the audio of Dominguez hitting the wall, followed by the Mets grand slam loss to the Rockies. Finally, Asante Samuel defends Mike Vrabel on X, leading Jerry to question Vrabel’s future authority while a caller suggests players might love him more because "she’s a smokeshow."

0:04.3	Hi, Boomer and Geo.
0:05.5	Coming to you live for the build for a tough studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network on this feel good.
0:11.7	Friday, Jerry in for Boomer.

0:18.6	That's a Red Pocket mobile fan line brought you by your new ultimate cell carrier,
0:21.7	Red Pocket mobile. We touched on a little bit during the CELO update, but the Jason Dominguez
0:27.6	injury now brings up Spencer Jones. And I feel like he's been one of those guys with the Yankee
0:33.1	prospect people and the Yankee fans. You've just heard his name a lot over the years because of
0:39.4	his comparisons to Aaron Judge and his size and the homers and, you know, what are you going to, what's it
0:44.7	going to look like when you got those two guys in the lineup? There's six, seven lefty and a six, seven
0:48.9	righty and all of these things. I think it's a perfect situation for him to come up in right now with this team playing really, really well.
0:57.5	And somebody who has been a highly touted prospect that people are excited to see,
1:04.0	when that guy gets called up to help save a team, it could be one of the worst things ever.
1:10.2	When he gets called up to just be part of a team
1:13.4	that is rolling, that has a leader who has a manager that's been around for a while, that's got
1:18.9	a culture where it's not all about him. He should be able to thrive. And we've seen it both ways.
1:24.8	And mostly, you know, with Yankee prospects, I feel like they come up and they're great and then a lot of them then fall off. Yeah. You know, Greg Byrd and Gary Sanchez, and I know Glaber Torres was it, you know, he was a trade and everything else, but he was another one of those guys. And Aaron Judge was the one who was the most consistent. It's funny because Aaron Judge wasn't even the prize prospect during all of that with
1:46.0	those younger players. And he turns out to be one of the best players in baseball and one of the
1:50.0	all-time Yankees. So, yeah, I mean, the Yankees have throughout the years with the consistent
