This is the Don, Han, and Rosenberg podcast.

That sounds like heaven to me!

Listen live weekday afternoon, starting at three on E-80 ESPN, the ESPN New York app, and your smart speakers.

504 in the big city, 504 at Kalandra's Bakery, right here in Caldwell, New Jersey.

For those who are regular listeners of the show, you know who's here.

Who? Who? Who?

Tessa from West Caldwell.

That's right!

It calls in regularly, and I mean, let's just say that Don and Peter's argument, a couple of weeks ago, was not the only heated argument that we have had on this show, that got to a point where we were all pretty worried about, let's just say, your safety.

Yeah, that's right. Or my head exploding because my red face, you never know what happened.

No, Tessa and I had it out recently, it was not a great situation.

But much like Don, family as family, you know what I mean?

Tessa probably went maybe a week and a half, two weeks without calling, and then she called back, and we had multiple conversations.

The other day, Tessa called the show when you guys had left, and I was hosting, and we had a lovely chat, and I got to tell you, really lovely to see her, have an in-person embrace.

Now listen, the sport, what was the draw?

BEEP!

Listen, sports fights can be intense, and she is about as, she is as much that guy as a sports fan, as you can be.

Oh, yes.

And I think she would be the first to admit that.

Like, one of the reasons she gets annoyed with me, for example, is because I bring up my team too much.

I mean, she is like a walking logo for the New York Giants, right?

So we are oil and water in that way, but wonderful to meet her in person, had a lovely little chat.

Yeah, great to see her.

She's from right around the way, like you said, and she was talking about how much of a staple Kalandras is.

Yes.

Very excited to have a nice adult beverage later on.

Have a little meal with my compadres here?

I think I'm looking forward to the meal part.

Once the show is over, we can really dive in.

Yeah.

And we've kind of like-

No, you held back.

Tasting a little here, a little there, some sweets, some pasta, some Kalamari.

What else do we do here?

Oh, we have this whole-

Oh, the olive oil.

The olive oil, by the way.

The olive oil was amazing.

John left us some of the dessert.

There's not a lot left, but some of the-

Wait a minute.

And by the way, what box was full?

Yeah, I know.

By the way, our engineer came over here and just-

Two hands?

Oh, he ripped one hand here.

And he just won any chance.

Listen, everyone wants the Kalandras.

That's fine.

I don't blame him.

Now, I have an interesting piece of Yankee information.

Yankee information.

Yankee of J's?

Oh, Yankee of J's.

All right.

What do you got?

But there are certain people.

I think you'll be included in this.

I know Jacob probably already knows that he's included in this.

Oh, yeah.

Who will be very excited?

What do you got?

On July 10th, which is a Friday,

and July 11th, which is a Saturday,

at Yankee Stadium.

Jay-Z is performing to celebrate two anniversaries.

What?

So, on July 10th, he's doing the 30-year anniversary

of reasonable doubt at Yankee Stadium.

Woo!

And on the next night, he's doing the 25-year anniversary

of the blueprint on back-to-back nights at the stage.

Oh, yeah.

So, for a certain kind of New Yorker.

Yeah.

On the Venn diagram.

Yankee hat.

The Yankee, the Yankee Jay-Z Venn diagram.

There's going to be a very happy group of people.

And of course, you know, there's really no argument that reasonable doubt

in Blueprint or Jay-Z's two best albums.

So, to have them sell, because when I first saw it,

I thought he was doing Blueprint both nights for 30.

No.

I mean, I'm sorry.

He's been doing his best nights, which is cool.

Because reasonable doubt is amazing.

But from an album standpoint, I'm probably more excited

to see him do the Blueprint 25-year anniversary.

Back to tonight's two.

It's going to be pretty cool.

I look, it's not the Baja men.

All right, but for the Yankees, it's not bad.

You know.

Why does he have to do it?

Why?

It's not bad.

That's a pretty good poll.

It's not Timmy Trumpet.

Why is it, why can't you?

It doesn't make you feel bad, John.

Well, he has to do this.

He can't just say it's enough that you have the biggest rapper of all time

who has to perform at Yankee Stadium again.

Just making a point. That's all now. What's the point that the meds have tried to do things like this to and and you know

Has not hit the same this will be on the DVD right this

Will be on the championship DVD. Oh, this is all star weekend too. You know what I mean?

Like this will be all part of like the the greatness thing. I'm guessing now. Here's the question if it's all star weekend. Yeah

All star weekend is always they'll be back to like do you think it's the

mid-July. No, no, it's mid-July the last day they play on all star weekend. It's usually the Sunday, right?

Yeah, and then they're off that whole week until when Friday

It's a week

Oh, yeah, got it. Okay. Yeah, so so there's a game on Thursday night before. Oh, they played the night before like I said

God, okay, got it interesting. All right, so pretty good. I'm excited man. Good a good pull

No, that's excellent. And again, it'll all be part of the championship DVD now what

What else could be part of it if this is the year the Yankees finally break through and we've been talking about clutch a lot on the show so far

We have tons of calls to get you eight hundred nine three seven seven six that we will we made a list of

All-time great players now you got a MVP caliber to be on this list that just couldn't come through in the clutch and

Having judged currently on the list gives him time to get off the list of course because you don't want to be on this list

But last night was wasn't it another example as much as you want to fight it and we all want to fight it because we know how great of a player he is

That 0-4 with three strikeouts striking out right after

Harper hits an epic home run to get the US team right back in the game get the building back as well

Like on a pitch that you always see him strike out on like just it looked familiar

We had a caller earlier that said it felt like a Yankee playoff game

Yeah, a murderer's role lineup that couldn't score and only could rely on a home run and judge not coming through

Stats will tell you throughout his career. He has had moments people will bring up moments

You know, we somebody came over and said, you know against class A and against Cleveland came through huge in the seventh inning in that series

Yes

But world series big moments those are the things you're looking at

I thought yesterday was an opportunity for him once again to close that conversation and instead it opened it oh

Fact it couldn't close to media did well you got to help it silence is well well well. Well is probably the better word, but

It's all it did to me is almost light a fire on it. I know as much as we're calling it right?

Well, but we're calling it an exhibition. We're calling it a it's a fun series of games

But it's before the season and all that stuff

But for some reason because of him and who he is and how important he is to the sport how big he is is a Yankee

How much coverage he gets people couldn't wait to jump all over the fact that in a moment for the US to win something

He did not come through once. I just want to remind everyone about the word exhibition that we keep using all right

This is an important moment might. I remind you that the fight between Apollo Creed and Drago is an exhibition

This was supposed to be an exhibition

You know that it did it started with James Brown a man died and a man died because because his best friend threw in the towel

One to Marcus and already hit the mat too late so an exhibition could go wrong and it went wrong last night

It did for Aaron Judd. I like how you pulled in Rocky on this because I'm always there for that

I am always there

And because Apollo is acting to be so fun and the whole time Rocky's looking at the highlights and Drago like I don't know

Rocky's like you sure

You've been retired a long time

All right. Yeah, this is not gonna go well for you

Remember Rocky in an exhibition. I mean don't get Rocky knows about a bad exhibition

He had a one with thunder lips also didn't go great with that did not go well

You're also fine and then okay. They got a polaroid together

And that was really what it was all about. I love them. All right. So is it fair is it fair

To the criticism that is coming the way of Aaron Judd and what people are saying and again

Is it also a lot of red socks fans and a lot of meds fans probably

But it is something that once again got loud. It was amplified off of the performance last night

And a great amount of frustration that goes with it. Chris in the Bronx. Chris. What do you say about it?

Oh

I say it's not fair. Um pretty much

You know it's just tournaments and started everybody's talking about exhibition the games don't mean anything

But when it comes to Aaron Judd

It seems like they they want to change their tune

Um, this guy you know during the season if you're a Yankee fan you didn't see these WBC results as

Anything other than just a glorified spring training. So you guys do his thing and you didn't work out the last game

But um

I'm sorry I lost my train of thought but

Pretty much what I'm just trying to get to is that if you're a Yankee fan

You see that he batted 500 in the playoffs last year and you see that that run that that story that he can't get it done

If you watch the games you know that when this even comes he'll do it, you know

I mean um, I just think you know

Using the WBC as an example. That's just met and

Yankee haters, you know, I mean that's that's what I think it is. I mean

There's a lot of stats out there Chris. Thanks for the call

And that that's part of the problem is that you have dueling stats now about his clutch ability

And I think there's a lot of it that is I test for a lot of us who have watched him over his career since 2017

That there were moments that you were like, okay, this is a big moment. We're used to seeing

Great players come through in these big moments. I mean again

Derek Jeter is a guy that wasn't really the best player on the team in those great teams

But man did he always seem to find them like had that clutch moment even later in his career

Let me ask a question Yankee home run for three thousand

Let me ask you to walk off for his last game like just oh, and ask your question Yankee boy

I'm listening and I say it respectfully

Who had the most

Clutch moments of that Yankee team? Is it a given that it's Jeter?

It's Mariana Rivera

I can't I hate that that's not a clutch moment. No, I hate to be that guy

But besides Mariana Rivera because yes, you're right. Oh time and time again. Sandman delivers

I know but besides all of them are off because I'm real time at the abats

That's how we're kind of measuring the judge thing. I guess so

What are you saying Anthony? Yeah, cuz it would it be Bernie uh Bernie, but but it felt like

It felt brochures it the the 98th year. He brochures was unreal in the postseason, but I felt like

Everyone seemed to have that moment. Tino had his first moment

He really needed to have the grand slam. I mean O'Neill

You remember in the comeback in 96 that's right

The the some of the hits that he had running down a fly ball

Like I think it was shared and so if you're gonna push back

That's your best pushback is

Those great Yankee teams that Jeter was part of that Jeter gets a lot of credit for being clutch

Had a lot of guys contributing to clutch

Aaron judge

Who contributes to clutch with him?

Well now stand stand stand in that guy very good in the playoffs. Anyone else

That's the only name that really comes to your mind

That's the problem and so I don't I do think

Clutch opportunities can't always be on the shoulders of one player in a team in a sport like baseball because

You only get the bat four times

But in one of those times if it's a big moment and last night it felt like twice

He had big moment at bats. The one right. I know what you're saying

You said that Bryce Harper's home run took the pressure off him

That's what I thought because it made it to two and now he didn't have to step up with two on or with one on

And come up big if Harper what if you would have thought it judge didn't have to bat thinking if I strike out the games over

The game wasn't over they extended the game. It's two two right turned out to not extend the game

But they seemingly extended the game. Yeah, so I thought now less pressure just get up there and do what you do

Yeah, and it looked like he felt all the pressure no Harper gets out the innings over and then he leads off

Which there's no pressure on a leader. Oh true. It was too out. Yeah, but but if if Harper gets on and now

You've got a chance to knock two in to tie or hit one out to take the lead that would have been the highest pressure

So that's the highest pressures, but but I still think it's pressure home run

The stadiums now going crazy you wake up the American fans were being out cheered. They were

The Venezuelan fans were completely much louder. They took over the building

And now you get the building back momentum. You've maybe got there a little rattled

And you strike out swinging on a pitch that we have seen that got swinging

Anytime and that's

And you moment that must have felt so familiar. Oh, it had to Yankee fans of like it was to me when I watch it again

I admit I was working last night. I didn't watch it live

I watched it this morning and I remember sitting in that bat and when he swings in misses. I'm like that

Is judge the nutshell you have the big moment right before and you're all hyped and like before the crowd has even come down from cheering in the stadium

Judges taking off his batting gloves to walk back out, you know like it ended so quick

You're like no already spitting the gum and batting it away with the bat right like just so frustrating

800 now in nine three seven seven six

Let's see. Let's go to

Well, we're packed man. We are packed. I'm looking for fitting into the conversation

Bobby and Bill Moore is ready to roll

And I know I know I think he's already ready to freak out

Good Bobby. Hey, guys

How you doing?

Before I get the judge James hot in the worst fourth quarter playoff shooter in history the NBA

The playoffs

Yeah, it's a long fact, but let me talk about judge for a second

You look at his numbers in the final four just the final fourth is 2022

one for sixteen against the aftros

2024

Three for eighteen against the indians the aftls

Well, he was started one for twelve against the dodges

Then in day face an opener and getting it was a series all over and he got a couple of hits

Best forward to this year one for eight in the last two games semi-final against filming in and alpha four last night

That's nine for sixty with a 150 batting percentage

You're telling us LCS world series or

Right to the final four so final four see I

I would go with those because I feel like those are the biggest stages too

And I don't like any of those numbers. I don't like any of them and like you can't argue with numbers

Yeah, yeah numbers don't lie and

You know you want to talk about last year. I mean he didn't have any help. No one. No yank. He didn't even two 50 last year

In the playoffs and it's and I started stunk in the playoffs in against Toronto

So maybe you had a shot, you know, because he was really hot. So that was the thing. I really wanted to say

Yeah, and uh, oh and this year. I mean you've got to look at the Yankees

I mean close coming off Tommy John. Well, then you don't know about the playoffs

He's a hit a miss. He's got over 70 already in the playoffs

Three, you know, pitch well against boys to be with awful good Toronto and this history hasn't been that good in the playoffs either

Another guy, right and I bet that you know

He also gets Toronto, you know, and he has a 200 by now, but you make a more money in judgeship which is hard to believe

He's making four over 40 million the first two years of his contract and could opt out after that

So I don't know what Yankees gave him so much money, but he hasn't done anything in the playoffs last year either and he hasn't been a student

Yeah, he has but Bobby and thanks for the call Bobby the numbers you gave again final four those are that's the biggest stages

You know, you can't argue with them

But I will say though there's two things that can happen right now

For judge it can just be one of those things that he just ignores

He just says I'm not listening to the criticism and just goes back into his robotic kind of way of approaching baseball

Which I think is the best way to describe it. Yeah, he just does seem very robotic and very much like he blocks out all the criticism

or

It becomes the fuel it becomes that frustration for him even where he's now just taking it personal as I said

I thought they should have done two years ago coming out of the world series when they're auctioned off the ball that I dropped

You kid me like I'm out for blood now. I'm out the shit like I want Aaron judge with a damn chip on his shoulder

I don't want Aaron judge just

Robotically going out and just doing my at-bats and I'm just sticking to the program and trust the process

No, I don't want that. I want to see a pissed off Aaron judge. Would you would you prefer an Aaron judge?

I don't think we've seen that yet. This may be obvious, but would you prefer because it let's suppose he needs that mentality

To be the sort of proficient player that he is would you take Aaron judge who batted

25 points lower

had

7 to 10 less home runs a year but seem to have more moments where he stepped up in like the big spot wouldn't everybody

I guess right as it is, but you lose games because of that you his average goes down 20 25 points

Oh, it affects his losing game. No, his his war is a reason why like he is a great player because his impact on winning for the Yankees is

Is notable and that's one of the best stats for him is that he is somebody who contributes to winning

You can't say he doesn't help you win

But we all know what it looks like clutch moments statistically in analytics and clutch moments in what we'd remember or two different things

And there are clutch moments that you remember because it's a moment

Not seventh inning or later all season long that's much different

You know like come on when you watch sports there are clutch moments you'll never forget shots. You'll never forget

Well, we haven't mentioned the guy. There's one guy to mention whose personality in some ways seemed like Aaron judge

Very business like never up never down always straight ahead all right except the difference was all he did

Was beast mode in clutch and that was Eli man

You know, that's a cool like he literally was just phenomenal phenomenal pull you would you would look at Eli

Everybody everybody watch let's take another moment

That's not a strange pull that's a phenomenal. Thank you very much. I think he's having a day. We need a big play phenomenon

You are having a day right now, but Eli Manning is a great example. Yeah of a guy who was very much like judge

In that he really didn't show you emotion didn't really get caught up in things

Didn't want to hear criticism whatever kind of like just went through it

regular season though

He didn't put up epic numbers like judge does but when he got to the postseason who was a killer number one

He was a killer even though it didn't exchange an expression whatsoever

No, he's a guy took a beating in San Francisco

He's a guy that froze his tail off in green bet

Didn't affect him at all win

And then when it came time to make a big throw in a big spot did it twice to get a super ball and then as sort of

He sort of the answer to the question of would you take the trade off of worst player with the clutch gene

Eli Manning was never as sexy as his

Uh, uh, you know

Compadre is in the NFC East right at the time you would have thought at the time

Romo was better than Eli that would have been like hey week to week who do you fear more in your schedule

You probably say Romo over Eli, but guess what one guy shrinks and the other guy shows up with the playoffs on real perfect

All right, Vinnie and statin islands pissed off Vinnie. He always is go Vinnie

They got to get off the iron judges back

Enough is enough this the Yankees would be actually nowhere without this guy. It's true

And another thing is let me ask you a question. Let me ask you guys a question all right if he

Take the C wins in the rest of his career two-ball world series

Does he get that much you off his back? And yes, who good world?

I don't know just one Vinnie. He got to win once. It's the same as Lamar Jackson. Just win one and everybody shuts the hell up

He was pretty he was pretty great to play off last year. You got a win

He wasn't paying the player fashion. I mean they got a win, but you got to get one

We get rid of iron bones. Uh, that's another thing. Can I say one thing about the game last night? Go ahead

I want to take one thing about the game. I say watch the game last night. They're losing one nothing

I think it's the third inning the catcher comes up

You got a two-no count on him and he swings that swings the next pitch, which is ball three

To me that's that's that's the Yankees and Aaron Boone in a nutshell right there

Let Aaron Boone was a Florida watching the game on television

But that's but that's what that's just the idea

It would Vinnie say Vinnie. We got to run but that's what Boone was like. I like that

I know what Vinnie saying we got to run Vinnie, but thanks for the call

What he's saying is what the caller earlier said yeah is that game not just judge that game from a US perspective

felt very much like it totally it gave off experience of so much offensive firepower and

Very very little production. It felt incredibly familiar. You look up and you go. It's the sixth inning already

We have any hits what's going on? It is but that's what again pressure baseball

That's what it's like you've got to be able to have a clutch moment when it matters

Vinnie's well it did hats off to them

More your calls coming up eight hundred nine one nine three seven seven six

Why don't you just come down today because we're here say hi to us and enter to win

Uh before we get back to calls. So Garrett Cole actually pitched today one in it against the red socks

He 53 weeks since Tommy John. He's on the mount and he had he had he right he was good

Yeah, no, he did bring it. He had six fastballs at average 97 miles an hour

I think he topped off at 99 on one of them. He only threw 10 pitches, but still

Uh did not give up a run. How about the first the first at bat first pitch a bunch

Like if you're coming back from Tommy John and like you're just trying to get into rhythm and the first thing that happens

It guys squares for a bunch. I'm thinking about shoulder right into writing your chest serious question for you

What how much money would I have to hand you right now to envelope? Okay, just square up and bunch against Garrett Cole

I'd probably have a better chance

Than swinging oh, oh no, oh no, it's there bet it's 100% your best chance. It's absolutely the only chance

Yeah, I don't know if they're like that can you imagine that no the cubes of a guy you know it's garic

You know, he's just coming back from Tommy John and you're going I'm gonna

Like what are you doing about it? It's spring training. It's spring training, but well, I'm telling you

I hope I don't we do say we do say how often to someone call at least once during the season to go they don't practice budding

So I mean, this is the time really first that bad of the game. It's a little odd. Yeah anyways

Uh, but Nicole you got through it 10 pitches. I believe he was supposed to go to the bullpen and pitching another 20

Just to kind of get the work up now. He's still about two months away from returning

They do have to ramp them up. There's a lot of hurdles. You need more than 10 pitches

More than 10s probably get you're gonna need to get them there

But the good news is though is that he he did it got on the mound pitching

That's a good sign for the Yankees and so I think it's the strength of the team

Their potential pitching rotation by the time we get to the second half of the season on paper

Looks elite and I think that could be the difference

It's so for a guy like judge if there's ever a time to win you can win

When you got great pitching well if that pitching were able to be healthy and elite in the playoffs

The difference that means for that offense is

Rather than thinking about how do we generate six runs with an offense that always seems to tighten up

Tighten up in the postseason. Yeah, it could mean we need three. Yeah

Can you put together three runs and by the way, that will affect the way

I know the boon haters won't like this. Mm-hmm that can affect the way boon can manage a game

Yes, when you feel confident

I only need to get to three runs not to four five, but it also could be you know one nothing zero zero games adds what

Pressure that is that is the part that for Aaron judge he has to continue to prove that he can play pressure

In pressure

Nas in Pinebrook. Hey Nas

Hello, hello, I have serious formal that I'm not there today

I am upset that you're not here because I need to thank you for the wonderful gift you sent me and that I am using

So thank you again, Nas greatly appreciate you well, you're very welcome

So two points for a quick on your list. I think Josh Allen deserves honorable mention

Mm-hmm. Yep, he has lost to my beloved chief quite a few times old. He's on my list of uh

Clutch players that didn't come up much. Okay. It's fair great players and vp

But he has I'll just say the reason I still put him ahead of Lamar

Is that he has had the the games were in the playoffs where he's done the opposite of that

He has more marquee playoff way. He's played out of his mind. He's just the rest of the team stinks. Right. Yeah, that's true

Yeah, I want to get to the wbc and my

Aaron judge who I love to death

But there is a fear of doing this a nervousness that you can see when he gets up to that plate

It's like he has the yips. I know you haven't heard that phrase in a while

But that's how I feel like he's got this hitting you. It's interesting because

That's what when we at Kendanico here

That's why I wanted to get into with them when I asked him and he's gonna come back and join us for the watch party later

But that's what it's when you see it in the eyes either of your opponent or your teammate

when you're like

He looks yeah, I scared to tough word for an athlete

But are you nervous anxious uncertain?

Those are things that you can't have in your eyes and

Is does the pressure get to him does he want and you could say this too because I love the point that Nas brought up

And thank you for the call Nas

But it's you could want it too much

That's a real thing

Well, there's multiple versions but you can't just

Namaste. Yeah, do it. Well, there's there's there's so many different versions of athletes like that that we've seen right and you know

And Rod Strickland talked about it with us last week as he gets ready for L.I.U. to play Friday at 130 the tournament

Let's go fins up

Strick said he threw up before every single NBA game he ever played

But guess what afterwards he felt a calm come over him and he was able to to be a top one

You're saying Aaron Judds needs to make himself throw up. That's right before and at that

That is the only way to do it. Stephen Willie Beaman right in the right in the on deck circle

But it would not be a how picture this

Game seven ALCS Yankees down a run

Runner on base

Right the guy in front of him there's one out the guy in front of him fly ball out whatever it is

Judge knows it's all on me

Stix's finger right in his mouth just but I don't know if that would be the right on the field

New guys in front new guys in the quarter pukin his guts out

Exactly. Could you imagine that scene though?

And then he will and then he strolls up to the to home play. Oh my god. I got a care in the world

You know what it's giving what's it giving it's giving rabbit in the bathroom

Before the bat mom spaghetti a mom yeah had to get it out. You got to have that mom spaghetti moment

vomit on a sweater already that's exactly right

But everyone maybe that's what judge needs a little vomit on the pinstripes

How epic would that be?

You know what that would go for an auction how they win the world series

You know what that goes for auction the vomit jersey over the bloody sock. Oh my bloody sock. He's on the table now fake for

Bloody sock the ketchup sock we all know it was ketchup, but

Could you like imagine the the viral moment though of those sitting in those seats right there by the index

I'm just trying to think of the post headline the next. Oh, oh, oh, so he hits a home run

They win the game. What's the headline?

Judge vomit throw up throw down

That's that's that's that's it's workable throw up throw keep working. Let's keep working. Let's keep working. Yeah, we gotta effort this

What else we got like it's um is this is tough to come up with though

I might go give if the case listening

Well, what's the call we'll get a text in two minutes. Oh, what the headline? Oh, don't the Greco Texas. Yeah, because you know

It's three up and three down. This is a throw up throw down. Throw it down. It's not bad. You know what I mean?

Um don't the Greco Texas earlier when you were taking shots at meds

I don't remember taking shots at the meds. You did we're talking about the JZ concert to Yankee stadium

Right, and you said well, I know it's not Timmy trumpet or the ball. I said it's not the ball. I remember it'll do

That's an observation and

Don wrote the group and said the Beatles played at Shay Stadium like I won't say the word that he said at the end

But he wanted to remind you can I see the word that he said at the end? It's a very childish. I don't think you could say it though

I mean, you could legally, but it's not appropriate

Yeah, they played at Shay, but Billy Joel a lot of pounds of the Shay season was over. He also played Yankee stadium

He did also play Yankee. He also mentioned the Yankees a few times in his song

He did

Yeah

Rose he rose. He knows he was credit to the game, but

You know the Yankees get the headlines every time you nailed it. That's one. He was also in Miami 2017 was awesome

Uh, and of course my my my goat Paul Simon reference to Maggio. We have you gone

Now it's Paul Simon being a Yankee fan fraudulent

Why is it fraudulent Queens guy. Yeah

Queens guy, but he grew up in a time where there was no mess. There was no national league team, so I guess he didn't go

Maybe they're maybe baseball. Yeah, it was pre-mets. Yeah, so I became a Yankee fan. Yeah, my mother's the fraud

Because she was a Dodger fan. They left

She then as a teenager we go to Yankee games

Because she loved baseball. Okay, she you know, she should have just become Yankee and then when the meds came

Then she just saw it nationally team woman nationally fan went back to the med

I'd never understood the rooting for a league

I don't I don't care about that. It's a style of play that no longer exists now of course

The nationality of the pitcher hitting because that's baseball

Susan

Let's continue with the calls eight hundred nine one nine three seven seven six

Frank in Long Island wants some wants to give us some recommendation on the clutch list that we made

Frank

Hi guys. Yeah, um, so for me

Armando Benitez is just synonymous for blowing it

When we do the list, we're looking at the best in your sport like the pinnacle MVP level people

You know what I mean? So when we say the greatest players that didn't come up clutch

It's got to be in that criteria

There's many people that we could point to that have had you know that

Had unclutch moments, but I'm talking like we've got it. We've got to have

A standard of you've got to be at this level like all the fame level player

MVP level players, you know what I mean Frank so that it doesn't really work with Benitez. Thank you though

Uh, let's go to Paul and Florida Paul

Hey guys, how are you today good

Thanks, so I was wondering um

I've been calling with just one but down based on what you said about guys who have won

But didn't win enough. I had two other

That I wanted to ask about but my first thing was damn marino

Marino is an interesting one because he did have clutch moments though

He just never got back to a Super Bowl

But I thought during my career he'd had some unbelievable clutch moments

I kind of feel like it's similar to to youwing pat did have some big moments. I got to mix

Through some rounds that he just didn't have the running mate and Patrick's a heart as a very difficult one for me to put on the list

I was strong armed

Okay, um, if I could could I ask about the other two that I thought about you guys brought up Peyton go ahead

Uh, I was thinking about our Rogers and Farve

Uh, Farve ended like three different teams seasons with a pick three years in a row

And they both had some epic teams that probably should have won more titles than just one each

Yeah, Rogers was suggested to us by somebody here

And even I don't put them on the list because

once you win a ring

Like remember these but I like the man in call and I like the Rogers call

Don't ever get because four-time MVP and how many times did he run into a wall one Super Bowl and and the games that were bad too

That championship game a few years. We're not a few. I guess it's like five years ago now at San Francisco

Yeah, remember that game when he just wouldn't run it in completely laid an egg. Yeah, so no he's at his moments. Yeah, no question

That is true. All right, Moria calls eight hundred nine one nine three seven seven six

My eyes don't deceive me, right? I did see Rick D. P. H.O. Oh rick D. P. H.O. is holding court. Oh, there's having a good time

I caught the wave the first one the first wave. Yeah, the nice. That's got another one

So we have him coming up for a big E&N at six and coming up at six your calls as well

I think I think the vibe will not be one of combativeness. No, you sure?

Well, these are two teams that are that both leave something to be desired

But that's what makes these games more important. I got nothing else to play for so I want to kick yours

I don't think I'm not if I Anthony's my gauge of where the ron j fanbases where's the wrong?

Glasses up to enjoying tell them or do

Responsibly all right a few more calls here before we get to ENN big ENN. How about

Jay and Connecticut with a name for the clutch list Jay. What do you got Jay?

Hey, what's going on guys? We're trying color. Um, we got a question

Um, I didn't hear it at the beginning of you guys list. Did you guys mention Carmelo Anthony on the list did not

No

I don't like this mellow slander. I don't know and I don't know if he's I don't know if mellow could be at that like

Would you put him at that level of the names on this list as far as in his generation?

I mean, he's pretty great

One of the great old time you guys had being hard in on here. I

And James Harden one MP. Yeah, you know what I mean?

You're an MVP. You're an MVP. Did Carmelo have a scoring title? Yes. Yeah, he has a scoring title. Yeah, he does

He does have a scoring title. He has been

No, no, no, let me ask you a question. Uh both you guys Jay were out. Was there one particular like moment in the playoffs though when you really felt like

Carmelo came up small

No, I felt like like look the biggest year for him with the nicks was 2014

At 2013 that playoff

He was

Against the Pacers they lost that for it's typical story of nicks Pacers lose the first game in the whole series goes the hell

But he was in the game to try to force a game. I think it was a game six right game six

Trying to force a game seven

No one played harder than him in that game

He did all he could and then that's with the Roy Hibbert. Remember the Roy Hibbert block

He went up to dunk on Roy Hibbert almost broke the guy's interesting choice. Well almost broke the guy's hand

Like unreal

Like that's how but it was a great block

But he played so hard in that game

I felt like he was trying to carry the team the Celtic series the two the year before two years before

I thought also the same story. So sorry Jay. I just don't think mellow

Would be someone I put on that list. I just don't think he was in enough of those and you forget in Denver

That team went to a conference final and he was epic in that run as well

They lost to the Lakers no shame there. I like Jacob. I'd like you to get both a name drop and uh stranger

Oh, yeah, Roy Hibbert

I'm hung out with him many times

Dipper seen my manager is very close to Roy Hibbert. Okay, like

Merit man unusual like there's no reason for them to be there's no reason for Dipper seen who's all a five foot five

To be that close with Roy Hibbert who when you hang out with him

No, he's an astoundingly large man. Okay. I mean he is just a but what a sweet guy. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep

Hell to play. You know how to great career, too. Yeah solid career. Oh, it's gonna rob a new jersey with another one

Billy Wagner. Good Lord. This guy never never was crushed ever ever

Well, how could that be? He's in all the fame. Yeah, Billy Wagner. Yeah, exactly. Look it up

Root 2006 on the map

Be it well. I figured that's never in a world series

Okay

But great enough to be honest. He great enough though. Even though he's a Hall of Famer and some people were wondering like

Is he really a hall of like did he qualify but he did he got voted

But is he made the whole actor is yeah, I get that but was he on the level of the best in his sport at the time he played it

Uh, I didn't mean the whole fame

I know that's but there are compilers who make the Hall of Fame, right? But they were never close to the best in the game

Rob, it's a good effort. We'll give you the effort. We appreciate it, but I don't know if I'm

John

Winthrop our resident met fan

Would you would you say Billy Wagner is on that list of people that you're like man this guy was never clutch

Infuriated you but as it was he great enough to be on that

He said, but well, we had another cause. Hey Benitez. So Benitez was the one that more than what amount of Benitez was frustrated

You more as a fan than Billy Wagner. I was just a Honest Wacker who I was a big fan of. Yeah, whereas Don knows him

Hornets

Hornets was the bruh in a couch and found like a harness Wagner rookie card or site

Harlan you never know harness Wagner

Honest was born as a hornet
