I have never ripped MET fans for not going to games. I ripped MET fans for taking free tickets from Steve Cohen and then not going to the game. Not because you're ripping off Steve, but because there were other fans who would have taken the free tickets and gone to the game. And also not have gone. Maybe not have gone, but would have gone. It is your choice to go or not go to games. I mean, it was my choice to not go to yesterday's game.

I didn't go.

I'll tell you my schedule if you care.

I'm not going today. I'd love to go tomorrow, but it's my wife's birthday. And I put her ahead of Nolan McLean. And then I'll probably go Friday, Saturday. You could go watch Nolan McLean and go get a beverage and go home.

No, I can't do that to my wife's birthday.

Come on, man.

Would you do that?

No. watch Nolan McLean, then go get a beverage and go home. No, I can't do that

to my wife's birthday. Come on, man. Would you do that? Would you go to a sporting event on your wife's birthday? I can't do that. I'd love to see... My wife's birthday during football season. There you go. Well, but that's work. So probably. Yeah, that's a different story. Could you go... Could you skip your wife's birthday for an April start.

Like, I love Nolan McLean.

And honestly, if Nolan McLean throws a perfect game and you guys ask me, hey, any regrets? No regrets. There will be a regret. No, it wouldn't be because I'm not even... Because your wife would have enjoyed it as well. She would have, but you can't assume something like that. You know what I mean? Let's play a quick game before we get back to your calls. It's called let's guess how Aaron Boone answers the question. Obviously, last night, I think the big story was Ahmed Rosario, with two home runs, and Aaron Boone's decision to start him. Ahmed Rosario usually starts against lefties. He started against the righty. It was announced earlier in the day when he was

talking to Jake and John Boy. We talked about it briefly on the air. Like, oh, wow, given Ahmed Rosario a shot, we all kind of agreed with it because of Ryan McMahon struggles. So the natural follow-up question, this is Boone 1, Sean, is this question from Bob Koppish? Aaron, is it likely we'll be seeing more of Rosario against right-handed pitching?

Is it likely we'll see more of Ahmed Rosario against right-handed pitcher? What do you think Aaron Boone's answer was? After, well, this was pre. This is after the game. Just did two home runs. Yankees won because of Ahmed Rosario. I think he's going to say yes. He's going to say yes. Like, why not? He's earning it. Production matters.

Production matters.

Sean,

hopefully you haven't heard the clip.

I haven't, but if you know Aaron Boone enough, he's very careful about not burying guys. So if he says full-blown, yes, it's going to be burying Ryan McMahon. He will play. He should bury Ryan McMahon. He should, but he won't say that.

So what he says and what he does will be two different things.

I'm going to say he references depending on matchups.

That seems like a stock boon answer. And would you agree that most Yankee fans would want to hear him say, look, if he hits, he plays, is that like the answer that most Yankee fans would want to hear from that question? I mean, look, maybe this is because he's not never in the starting lineup, but whenever we have been at games, we always see him out there grinding.

It does run. And one thing we learned yesterday. I think you earn yourself a spot when you grind and then produce. The other thing, which I wasn't fully aware of, was that everybody loves that guy in the locker room is widely loved that he's basically a cheerleader and he pumps the guys up and everybody finds him funny and endearing. Ahmed Rosario. Jose Alvarado. I knew you were going there. That's what Mike Brown said about him. But Ahmed is loved in that locker room. Makes sense. This kid's been through a lot. He was a top prospect with the Mets.

He had the pressures of being traded for Lindor.
