Summary

Shaun and Tiki react to Jazz Chisholm’s scary collision and turn it into a bigger conversation about trust, urgency, and the Yankees’ handling of injuries. What starts as a debate over dugout habits and a lollipop scare quickly becomes a serious question about whether the team should play it safe with one of its most important players.

The conversation expands into Aaron Boone’s future, Brian Cashman’s deadline pressure, and whether the Yankees are built well enough to dominate a weak American League. Shaun and Tiki also dig into the roster holes, Ben Rice’s recent slump, the need for real additions, and why this Yankees season may ultimately be judged by whether they finally get back to the World Series.

And I did in fact mention that I think you and Evan Roberts, I'm going to call him metaphorical L.

0:04.3

Okay.

0:04.9

I'm not even a waste of time putting the L on it.

0:06.6

All right.

0:20.8

Where is? I guess the L is in here somewhere. Do you want to guess what you? I have no idea. Okay. I truly don't. I want to ask you something. I don't remember things that I did a week ago. Oh, it was a big argument that I had versus you and Evan on the same side.

0:22.0

You, hmm.

0:24.0

I don't remember.

0:20.8

Well, it was a big argument that I had versus you and Evan on the same side.

0:27.3

You, hmm, I don't remember. Well, it started a tidal wave of talk on the station, so let me just say this.

0:35.6

What happens last night if jazz chisholm sucking on a lollipop with a stick when Jason Dominguez basically elbows him in the head and he falls to the ground?

0:36.6

Okay, I see.

0:54.1

Even if the stick's not there, what happens if there's a big old blow pop in his mouth? He's probably choking and has his damage to his esophagus or something. Did you see him looking to grab for air last night? Yes, I did. So when we said just a week ago, how bad is it to have a lollipop in the mouth?

0:54.7

Okay, hold on.

0:55.4

He does it. When he had the lollipop, he was trying to finish the lollipop so he could get to the gum in the middle and he couldn't finish it. Okay. And he usually twists the stick or bites the stick off. As he told us after the fact, he just couldn't do it. So what if that exact moment and exact play happened as he was trying to twist the stick off last week?

1:14.0

How about I just give you a W? Couldn't you have choked on sunflower seeds though, too? Or gum? Yes. But a stick is just, it just looks worse, Connor. Looks bad. And I want to, Connor, I'm glad you mentioned that. because you're only the 47th person to bring this to my attention. I'm anti-eating sunflower seeds in the field, too. I used to crush A-Rod for a batting with a four-course meal in his mouth. I'm anti that, too. Sometimes you get hungry out there. I know. It's a long day. But the point is... You need some nourishment, some sugar. You could have really had a dangerous situation.

2:34.1

You could have had a long day. But the point is... You need some nourishment, some sugar. You could have really had a dangerous situation. You could have a dangerous situation. Now, you're right. Now, in that situation, especially if he had been knocked unconscious. Yeah. Because he got hit pretty hard by Jason Dominguez, who's not a small guy, basically elbowed ahead. Yes. And if he's unconscious, has a stick in his mouth, it goes in his throat, then he could have choked. Yeah, I agree. Now, there's also a lesson to be learned here for the Yankees. And again, we'll get right to your calls here in a second. Remember, we have monitored this for a long time. And I have my questions about Austin Wells this year, whether it was Anthony Volpe last year, whether it was Rizzo with a concussion, ironically enough, because jazz is in concussion protocol. Whether it was the Clark Schmidt, they knew something was going on around the no-hitter. Remember all that last year? Mark Lighter with the form. The Yankees, whether it's coincidence or not, have been horrendous at diagnosing injuries until they are too late. Right.

2:51.7

If I am the Yankees, I am being extra causes with Jazz Chisholm and I'm learning from my own mistakes. Even if he gets cleared from, it's not a concussion, he gets cleared out of the protocol, I would put Jazz Chisholm on the 10-day I-L and just make sure everything is right. Yeah, get him back after the All-Star break. That's it. You don't want to put him in a spot where now he's like,

3:07.5

I don't know, not clear five days from now, but you thought he was all right and things are off and now he's like not swinging right. And then over a sudden we find out two months like Anthony Rizzo. Oh, it turned out he did have a concussion and they're hard to predict. To me, Tiki, just play it safe with jazz. Like, he's too important to play her ultimately.

3:24.7

Yeah, I mean, again, and he, so jazz just like, I think most athletes, when something like this happens, they want to be fine as soon as possible. Like, in their minds, they're saying, I need to play. I want to play. I want to play. And it's, it's a cliche, but we say it all the time. You've got protect them from themselves.

3:27.9

And I think that's likely to be the circumstance with jazz.

3:24.7

He's going to watch. play. And it's a cliche, but we say it all the time. You've got to protect them from themselves.

3:28.7

And I think that's likely to be the circumstance with jazz. He's going to want to play.
