| 0:00.0 | The Mets, meanwhile, got a Juan Solo home run and then a two-run shot as they lost for the second straight night to the Nats, 8 to 4. I was so impressed by the amount of Yankee fans that were at that game for the first pitch. Me too. Because at the end of the day, it's a Wednesday night. It's the middle of May. I know it's the Blue Jays. It's Yankees, Blue Jays. It's warm out at least. but there was a two hour plus rain delay. |
| 0:23.3 | This game didn't start until lay after 9 o'clock at night. And a part of me always looks at situations like that, especially when you're facing a division rival and could easily just cancel the game and play a double header and do all that. And I say, that kind of sucks. I feel bad. people waiting around for two hours. But so many people stayed, I'm like, people probably liked it. |
| 0:40.9 | They were like, yeah, I'm just hanging out at Yankee Stadium, having a drink. Also, wasn't it must watch baseball? Is that what we talked about? Yeah. Cam Schlittler was amazing, as was Trey Yassavage. And maybe it's the Boone decision that sent them out for the six or the seventh because |
| 0:56.2 | that's when things started to go awry but i mean he he they managed it listen here's the way |
| 1:01.6 | i view this because i heard sean say i think you phrased it as you savage outlasted cam slettler |
| 1:08.0 | yeah that's not what happened i appreciate your attempt at that that's not what happened. What happened was what you said. Yeah. Aaron Boone, rightfully so. I'm with him, said, hey, Cam, go out for the seventh inning. And it didn't work, especially that last that bat to Jimenez. Right. And he struggled. Your Savage came out after six innings. Yeah. He didn't come out for the seventh inning. So over six innings of work, it was even, it was a draw, if you will. The difference was, and I get why, Schlittler's pitched all year, Yassavage's made fewer starts because remember he started the year on the injured list. Maybe they're being more careful. He's a few years younger. |
| 1:45.4 | But the difference was he as Savage didn't come out for the seventh. |
| 1:48.2 | Yeah, he didn't get an opportunity to screw it up in the seventh. Good point. Alast is the wrong word. Now, I do think last night, I'm glad you brought that up. I know you were going there. I think the Yankees have figured out something |
| 1:57.9 | or should have figured out something off last night. |
| 2:00.3 | Anybody with Legends tickets |
| 2:02.2 | should get an hour earlier entry than everybody else to the stadium going forward. |
| 2:07.0 | Why? |
| 2:07.1 | Because it wasn't that the whole stadium was full, Evan. |
| 2:09.3 | It was that what you saw on TV behind Home Plate and the Motes was completely full in the first couple of innings of that game |
| 2:15.3 | because they'd already spent two hours stuff in their face in the legend street |
| 2:18.3 | that they actually sat in the seats. That's what was noticeable last night. So you're saying because one of the critiques of the new Yankee Stadium for the last decade and a half is that when you watch a game it's empty behind the plate? Yes. Because people are in the club. You're saying if you open up that club even earlier, kind of like sitting through a two-hour rain delay, |
| 2:34.4 | it would be filled most of the day. |
| 2:35.6 | Listen, you will have people that will challenge the girth |
| 2:37.9 | and how much food they could eat. But what do those people do with those seats for those two hours? They ate and they ate and they ate. So by the time the game started, you're ready for the game. You're ready for the game. So that is why it was so full and bustling behind the plate last year. He's fat. By the way, you're right, because the times that I've, |
| 2:51.6 | it's only been a few times that I've sat in those legend seats, |
| 2:54.4 | I don't want to go out there. |
| 2:55.9 | Yeah. |
