A Yankees torpedo volpedo bats a weekend, I was, Sam,

It was excited for this week, Excited to be rocking
out with you. Let's go, you said, March madness, March
(01:09):
coming to an end? Is there anything that mad about it? No? Cinderellas.
I think people are more mad about the Yankees in
their bats. No upsets for one seeds only happened one
other time back in two thousand and eight, So everyone
that tried to get tricky with their bracket, like the
final four again all one seeds. The Elite eight was
(01:30):
a one two one two one two one three. It's
very usual, suspects. You know, it's exactly what you would
have thought. But I hope you enjoyed your college basketball,

swiggy later on in today's show. It's our stainless steal
water bottle, sort of the shape of a bowling pin,
sort of the shape of a torpedo kind of bat,
but it's a water bottle. And oh it's the Midnight
Black Sapphire Black limited Edition. See in our our Cavino
(03:00):
and Rich on Fox Sports Radio water bottle is let's
be honest, your kid's lost yours, so try to win
one later on when we play Last One Standing we
played every Monday. Is the game that's sweeping the nation.
So lots to get to so pumped about this show.
I'm just pumped Rich because the Yankee scored one hundred
and thirty runs this weekend. I mean I felt like it, right, Yeah,
we got to talk about this torpedo bat. I know
(03:22):
everyone else has, but I feel like our opinions more
fun and better. So, first of all, as a Mets fan,
Danny g as a Dodgers fan, I was Sam Dodgers fan.
I mean, you're the Yankee guy here, Cavino, I would
love to hate on you. I would love to say cheating,
bogus bs. But they've done nothing wrong. Anyone that's opposing
(03:43):
what the Yankees are doing just a bunch of damn haters.
It's funny that you say, I would love to say
cheating and all that. That's what everybody's saying online. There's
so much misinformation and so many people who are so
upset by this. But I keep hearing the wrong rumors
over and over and over again. They're pretending and acting
like all the Yankees are using it. It was designed
(04:04):
for Anthony Volpi. That's why I said the volpedo bat.
Because he wasn't getting around on the ball. He kept
hitting the ball on the logo. So they said, let's
make the media part of the bat where the logo
is closer to the handle. So essentially you're changing where
the girth is. Yes, exactly, and girth could be distributed
in different places on everybody. Then he want to say
(04:25):
girth is worth Yeah. So the only people that used
it for the Yankees this weekend and they hit nine
home runs in one game, like fourteen to fifteen home
runs over the weekend, only Jettism and Vulpi are using it.
So the thought that Aaron Judge and Goldschmidt and all
these guys, no, that's fake. The fact that it's illegal
(04:48):
also false and fake. The rules are simple. Everyone's throwing
out these rules as if they're experts. Rule three point
zero two. According to the MLB, bats can't be thicker
than two point sixty one inches, right, two point sixty one,
that's what she said. And guess what, it's not bigger
than two point sixty one. That's the magic number here.
(05:10):
It's just distributed differently. Has to be made of solid wood.
Guess what, that's what it's made of, solid wood, just
distributed differently. Can't have a cut in the hole the
tip of the bat deeper than one inch. It does
not forty two inches inches in length. That's the limit
and those are the rules, and it just goes by
(05:30):
the rules. They were just innovative and changed it up
a little bit. That's surprising. What's more surprising, which is
that it took this long for someone to try to
innovate something. That's what happens when nerds and jocks collaborate. Right,
Yankees got an mit like scientists, nerds nerds. When you
get nerds and jocks work it together, look what happens.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
How do you think you're gonna beat the alpha betas
any other way?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Right? Do you know what? Get that javelin? Yeah, Lamar latrelle,
you are just looking for every advantage, every edge. Will
not deny that. But I think it's smart. You know,
It's like, are you mad that pictures are throwing one
hundred and eight miles per hour?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
The game changes, the game advances, equipment changes all the time,
all the time. And if it's in with the in
the parameters of the MLB rules, then what's the problem.
Besides all the lies that are being told on social
media social media, I haven't seen a story explode like
this in social media in a while.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Wait, you mean the story today about the Yankees Big
New gloves that they're.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Gloves fake. I saw how they change the Yankees logo
to to make it like a fat whiffle ball bat,
because the k and the Yankees like traditional big red
plastic bat that all the kids have when they're toddlers,
or that vourtex bat that hit bombs like Mark McGuire. Look,
we've seen it all and it's hilarious, but people are
so mad about it, and I'm thinking, well, it's just
(06:56):
a matter of time before everybody gets they're already putting shit.
It's in your boiling door, has already been on that.
There's other players that have them. Yeah, used it over
the weekend. Yeah, they've already been approved by the MLB.
Now do they have to go through some sort of
reapproval per team that I don't know, But the Yankees
aren't the only ones allowed to use it, and to
(07:20):
me it makes perfect sense. I'm more surprised than anything
that it took this long for them to figure something
like that out. The other part of the advantage rich
that no one's really talking about is all right again, Vaulpi.
He was basically getting jammed, not getting around quick enough
to get the barrel on the ball. Right, So they said, well,
let's make the barrel closer to the hand open to
me to the bet. But when you do that, it
(07:40):
also appears to be lighter. So think about it from
that perspective. Right, If you're using a thirty four ounce bat,
but you move the meat closer to the handle, it
feels like a thirty two ounce bat because the heavy
part isn't at the end wasted at the end. So
it's really just smarter than anything. And here's the other side.
(08:00):
Not everybody likes it. Not everybody's using it because it
feels weird to them. It feels it feels different, so
they're it's like some of those slap hitters with the
axe handle. Right. Yes, not for everything. It's a redesign.
And dude, it's only a story because the Yankees are
doing it. If it was the White Sox, no one
would give a Diddley squat. Yeah, let's not forget the
(08:21):
Yankees played at home. They have a small ballpark. Early
on in the season, hard to not hit one out, right,
So Yankees are on fire, I'll give you that. I
think it is crazy how everyone thinks the whole team's
using it when it really is Vulpy and Chisholm and
Aaron Judge on fire. The guy is not using one
of these bats. But there's one thing I want to
(08:42):
make clear. If the rest of the league starts using it,
could the Yankee fans not do this whole Oh your copycats?
Because it's like if the first team in the NFL
that came up with a cool face mask and everyone
else uses it. No, I just don't want to hear
Yankee fans call people copycats. I mean I already did
on social media. But yeah, no, I think it's fair.
That's also fair. I don't see any problem with this.
(09:04):
I find it odd that people do. To me, it
just makes sense. Again, I'm more surprised than anything that
it took this long to happen. Because we see equipment
innovation all the time. Why was the bat the same
way for so long? We need to ask ourselves that. Like,
I know it's not fore hitting, but when gian Carlos
(09:25):
Stanton got hit in the face, remember he came back
with that cool metal little flap. Didn't that turn into
every player having a little bit of a flap extender
on the helmet? No one said during copying Dunk Carlow,
it's you know, you see a cool innovation, Innovati die
Man and as our buddy Jim Ramsey, our unofficial consultant
of the show. Jim Ramsey hit us up from North
(09:46):
Carolina and he said, the torpedo bats are an example
of a broader, relatable point. Sometimes you need to challenge.
That's the way we've always done it. So that's the
way it stays. That's the way we've always done it.
To see what's possible in what my actually be better,
and this might be better for some, for some and
for all the Like I said, the Red Sox haters
(10:07):
and the port noise out there saying the Yankees are
cheap and cheating, it's just a matter of time before
you're broke. Cast Raphael Devers has one too. But the
reality is not everyone's gonna want these. Not everybody's gonna
want them. There's innovations with helmet designs in the NFL,
there's innovations with i'm sure compression sleeves and socks and
(10:29):
everything in the NBA. It just might not be comfortable.
It's not my style. If you think every guy next
week's gonna have a torpedo bat, you're mistaken. Some guys
are like, no, the way I like my bat distributed
is this way. Everybody has their own example of that.
Like there's a new piece of equipment at the office,
and you know some people are like, yeah, I like it,
and then other people like, no, man, I like the
(10:50):
all the way better. I'm more comfortable with the old one.
I'll be like all these people, Like a couple of
years back, do you remember when everyone in corporate America
decided to have a standing desk desk and then some
people would have a treadmill and they'd be like working
and doing their emails while they're on their treadmill. I mean,
there's always an innovation. I mean, listen, when we came
here to Fox. I'm not saying we're the torpedo Bats
(11:12):
of FSR. No, I'm tweeting that out right now, Covino
and Rich the torpedo Bats of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I remember when heavy in the middle, light on top.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
I remember more like the twerppedo bats, give me on
red show sticks at the bottom, big heads, Yeah, gurthy
and delivers.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The reason I say this is because when we first
got here, I remember one of the first interviews we
did was Henry Winkler because on the Funds Wowie zowie.
You remember. It was right around the time when Winkler
had that funny interaction with Mahomes on the field and
(11:52):
he's like, yeah, I'll come over for dinner and he's like,
you're welcome at my dinner table anytime. You're welcome, Patrick.
I remember now, we wanted to interview the Fonds because
we're pals with them. I remember some people around here
were like, yeah, have them call up, and we said, well,
why don't we do a zoom call? That way we
(12:14):
could get video in better quality. And at first it
was like, well, no one really does that around here,
and I remember us being why not? Why not? No,
we just don't do it that way, well says who.
Sometimes you have to question the well we don't do
it around here that way, sticking within the rules that
are written. I mean, take it back to your earliest
level of Little League, Hey, rich when everyone had a
(12:35):
ceramic bad You were curious about it, But did you
go out and buy one and jump on it or
were you just comfortable with yours? Some people love them,
some people did. That's what I mean, Like it worked
for some and some people loved it. But I guess
what I stuck with my Eastern big barrel. You know,
Damn Byer, my black magic Dan Byer, who's a student
of the game, not just baseball football, and going to
bring up I think Colin stars insinuated it's BELICHICKI and
(13:01):
I'll be honest, I thought the same exact thing because
Dan wasn't there a rule where Belichick fold the way
to run the clock out more And it's like, ah,
very tricky Belichick. And I said, we're going to change
that rule.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yeah, yeah, And verbel actually used it against Belichick in
a game as well, which ultimately led to the change.
I look at it as in from the world of golf,
to be honest with you, of trying to get an advantage.
There's rules that your club needs to fit in. But
as a guy who's not a professional, I need a
bigger club face because they don't always hit it on
(13:32):
the sweet spot when I don't. I want it to
go a little bit more straighter. So like a tour
pro wouldn't use my clubs because they would want their
own in a certain way. It's not an exact parallel,
but that's kind of how I looked at it.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Dan, question, because I don't know. I'm not the PGA
expert like you are. But when we were kids and
you'd watch highlights of a Chi Chi Rodriguez doing funny handshakes,
and you'd be watching all the highlights on with your dad.
They had a regular putters. Who is the first to
have the I hold the putter a funny way and
do all that? Because that I'm guessing at first, Whoever
(14:06):
the first few golfers that did that, you don't think
they were like, well, hold on what I doing with
this different type of putter?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I can tell you Bernard Longer was one of the
first to do it.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
You don't think there was resistance by some like what
is this guy doing?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
There was because it also looked funky as well. And
then there's there's a whole different point to that of
an anchoring because of what they would do is they
put the club to the chest. But just the point
of it being different. I mean, there are golf putters
now that you guys see where you know, there's a
big white circle you know around it or two of
them which then lines up and they'll call them like
a two ball putter. And putters never looked like that,
(14:42):
you know, thirty forty years ago, and now they do.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Cavino, I know, you're a big bowling guy. There's you
see a bowler's bowl like now, oh, with two hands.
They take two hands to do it. I remember the
first guy that I remember seeing it was a guy
I think his name was like, I'm not don one
a chili and I would see him used two Well,
actually I started that when I was like five years old. Yeah,
I think I invented it, but then I saw a
(15:07):
bunch of other people doing it all the time. Just
became the way. So again, my confusion is more how
social media has run with this and people are mad
about it when it's going to be fair for everybody.
And why do you want to give so much advantage
to the picture but not the batter here, That's what
I don't get, the pictures always doing a little something.
(15:29):
Batters can't change how the bat is shaped since when
you know. But again, we've never seen anything like this before,
so people are afraid of it, you know. What It
comes down to people, And I think more people are
just mad about the fact that the Yankees were the
ones that thought of it. First, that's really what you're imagine.
If the Dodgers came out, that's it. It would have
(15:49):
been even worse. I didn't think it could. That's all
people are mad about. I do think it's bs.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
The Yankees are gonna wear graduation caps tomorrow night to
show how smart they are, and why on the on
the cardboard piece task.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
The jokes are hilarious though, Like I've been entertained so
much by the torpedo bat that everybody's talking about. It
really is a great story. It's made for some great
memes right weekend. Hilarious, a great start. So the hatred
that everyone's throwing at the Yankees, I do find to
be as a Yankees fan, like hilarious and entertaining. I
just don't understand all the lies about it. I'll tell
(16:25):
you why. It's well, I'll be honest, look yourself in
the mirror and I will as well. It's people that
love to read headlines. I guess, so not the story. Yeah,
And I have another example, like the same way. At first,
to be honest, if you want to know the truth.
At first, I also thought it was the whole Yankee team,
and then it's yeah, because that's how it seems until
(16:46):
you read the article and you're like, oh, no, it's vulpe.
And by the way, I mean, they hit nine home
runs in one game, a team record, so of course
that shines a huge light on the fact that they
have different shaped bats. I mean, remember, like a week ago,
all that stuff about what underneath the pyramids, and if
you just read the headline you probably still think there's
stuff underneath the pyramids.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Is also why you need time to look underneath at
the comments too, because there were Yankee experts in there
immediately correcting all the boneheads.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
So you know, I can't believe Judge hit those three
home runs with.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
One of these bats, and a Yankee expert like Cavino
right underneath that saying, hey, bonehead, he wasn't even using
that bad Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It makes the idiot so dumber. You know. I'll give
you the example if you want to rewind the better
year ago Danny, because I think a lot of people
on their network were incorrect and saying do you remember
the female boxer who everyone amediate was like just trends
for sure, and it was like everybody thought, oh that's
the truth. Yeah, because the the this that's how the story.
(17:44):
It's like a bad game.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
I thought.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
We put the brakes on that on our show because
I was like, let's let the dust settle on this
before we, you know, have a strong stance on it.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Bad game of telephone is strong if you don't how
many legitimate broadcasters were calling that female boxer trans and listen,
they were idiosyncrasies were they were. I believe that, But
we were the ones that were like, ah, pumped the brakes.
We didn't roll with that the way everyone else did.
I mean that that was the story though, too, so
(18:17):
you're like, well, what am I supposed to believe? If
that's the story. Let's just get this clear right now.
This is a legal bat. The Yankees ran it by
the MLB. It's not called a torpedo bat. That just
sort of organically happened. It's more shaped like a bowling
pin than anything. It's not that big of a difference.
(18:39):
It's just distributed in a different way, and it's like
wasted mass at the tip of the bat. You don't
want to hit the baseball at the tip of the bat,
so they just brought it toward the logo. Raphael Devers
is stepping into the batter's box, by the way, I'll
see if he strikes out, you're expecting to strike out.
And I heard the Braves and a bunch of other
(18:59):
teams already put their orders in for these new torpedo bats,
which some people are gonna like guys like Jazz Chisholm
who were open to like, yeah, man, I like it.
And then other people who are just already feeling good
about the bat that they use, that are not gonna
mess with whatever's not broke. Like I said a few
minutes ago, think of how many people you know gave
(19:20):
that axe handle bat a chance, like, yeah, I'll take
some swings, and some people like no, not for me.
And there's a few players that stuck with it. So
innovator die, I think it's cool, like you Dan and
Dany g and everyone said, I promise you Rich, I
swear if it was another team, let's say it was
your Mets, right, yeah, I would be more mad that
you guys came up with the idea first and that
we're we're now playing catch up to the Mets. But
(19:42):
I would not be mad that there was a loophole
that someone figured out that was a legal loophole to
make the game more exciting for more offense. Could they
not be mad about that? If it was fair for
everyone else to use it? There was a company the
first There was a first company that said, let me
use social media to promote my business. Now every single
(20:03):
company does it, Like there's gonna be one person that
or how about like chat GPT people who want to
use chat GPT to their advantages and no other people
are go, well, I don't know if that's okay. It's like, well,
we have the ability to do this, why can't.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
We This also reminded me a little bit of the
champions during COVID, not First Bubblets, Mickey Mouse. Everybody had
the same chance.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, that's true. Everyone has the same opportunity here, you know,
unless you're a pitcher in the MLB. I don't know
what everyone's so mad about. All right, well, listen, we
have one more pitch because I want to see if
Dever strikes out full count and they have a lot
a tough weekend that we'll take your feedback on the
torpedo bat. We'll talk about a new move the Mets
are doing. We've got some NBA, some NFL, but the
(20:49):
three to two pitch. Let's see what happens here, and
Ever walks. All right, he has he's a good player.
He just had a roll start. Turn it around, all right. Listen,
we got more cove Rich next right here on Fox
Sports Radio. Now Rich. Yes, life in general could be chaotic.

(22:36):
Think about that. You know how a lot of times,
you know, idiotic fans will I could do better. That
is a circumstance where you're absolutely right, nasty Nester Cortes
and his fun, weird, wind up mustachio and all faced
his old team, and that was the day the Yankees
score twenty runs. But three pitches three home runs. Honestly,
it's into a ball. It would have been to add
(22:56):
insult to injury. He has like platinum blonde hair with
like a hint of purple in it, and he asked him, well, man,
go with the platinum look. He's like, well, I couldn't
do that with the Yankees, so I figure I'd lean
into it with the Brewers. And they're like, well, technically
you could have no one ever said anything about dying
your hair with the Yankees. So uh yeah, well, welcome

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well bets kind of weekend. How about that walkoff on
Friday night?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Was why I was out at a bar when that happened, dude,
And that's always the best when you're out and about.
You're out in about and you know, I'm in Los
Angeles and everyone's there to watch the Dodgers win and
Mookie Betts. It's a walk off, and you know what
he went through was away one hundred and twenty five pounds.
He looks so little and he hits a bomb like that.
(24:04):
The place erupted. It was so fun to be out
at that night. Yeah, sure, he's just not on ozempic.
I don't know, maybe so No, I'm glad he's better.
Iowa Sam on the ones and twos, DB's got your updates,
Spotty's on the videos at Covino and Rich. Look, it's
a new innovation. Stop crying about the torpedo bat. Don't
buy into the lies. It's approved by the MLB. It
(24:26):
doesn't exceed the specifications that MLB requires for a Major
League Baseball bat. Again, it can't be thicker than two
point six one inches, has to be solid wood, it
can't have a cut deeper than one inch on the
tip of the bat, and it can't be over forty
two inches in length. None of these bats are not
all the Yankees are using them. Everybody's able to use them.
(24:46):
Like I said, I don't know what the approval is.
Like Rich, if all of a sudden the Mets want
to throw a specified order in, I don't know how
long that takes. I don't know what the rules are
with that. But already teams are putting their orders in.
Players are going to give it a try. Either they're
gonna like it or they're not. It's like there's always
an innovation that people jump on too, and then some
people don't like. So not everyone's gonna use it, and
(25:09):
not all the Yankees are for example, when it comes
to mind, is a stupid one, but like lane assistance
on my car, some people love it. I is all hated. Yeah,
I feel that. I'm like, ah, I don't like it,
and other people swear by it. Right. I had a
car that had something you love and I'm like, yeah,
well mean that that heads up to splay where on
(25:32):
your windshield you see like the hologram of your navigation.
I'm like, yeah, no things, some don't mean that. I
love that, and I lean into it. That innovation works
for me. Not all new stuff is good for everybody.
That's why guys like Aaron Judge, I doubt Gean Carlos Stanton,
guys like that won't use the new bat, but younger
players might be open to it. Look at it like
anything in life, there's people that are reluctant and resistors,
(25:54):
and there's people that love to jump on a new
trend just to even give it a shot. For instance,
just recently, how long has the coffee company Starbucks been around?
You ever heard of them? Covino? Finally, Well, like weeks ago? Yeah,
mobile water now weeks is a stretch, but I would
say month. I would say about a year no, no, no, Yeah,
(26:15):
I'll prove it to you. Sounds a fine, but you're right.
I was. I was way later. I was the guy
that would Cavino was the guy that would go to
Starbucks and wait in the line. The line, like, who
does that? I like waiting in line? Another thing? We live,
we live. We live here at Fox Sports Radio. We
live here at Fox next to an l Loco, which
is a little, you know, chicken fast food place. Up
(26:36):
until recently, I don't. I don't have the for that.
I don't. So you walk in order and wait fifteen
I don't go there every day. It's not fifteen minutes.
Yeah I don't. It's like a little kiosk, And yeah,
I don't go there enough to like want to flood
my phone up with you.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Save some of your hard earned dollars too, because you
can scare those acts. Yeah, scan the code.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
The point is, what do you mean? It's the same
thing here? I had something boomerash. You said, clog up
your phone with an app. Yeah, I don't want it.
I don't want them, I don't need it.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Do you hate having to sign into every thing?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I'm not there log into? That proves your point. Some
guys like gash Chism are like, yeah, give me the app.
I'll use the new stuff. Sam's got a cordy keyboard.
Some people not open to it. But there's also debates
and those are fun too. On do you get more
(27:32):
of a sweet spot? So if you hit it outside
of the sweet spot, are you getting less of an
impact than you would have got before? Right? I know
Mike was arguing. Wasn't Mike and dB arguing about that
off the ear runs this place? Yeah, because I heard
I've heard several people talk about it because you're shortening
or you're you're compacting the sweet spot closer to the handle. Now,
(27:55):
if you hit it toward the end of the bat,
maybe you would have got a little juice out of
it before, where you're actually maybe gonna get less juice
out of it now. I'm sort of getting that understanding too,
Like it's not all bombs that you're gonna get out
of it. You really just have to hit that sweet
Think about it where if you're taking toward meat, the
meat of the bat, if you're taking the meat from
somewhere and you're putting it that you're losing meat somewhere, right,
(28:19):
Like it's like, you know, squeezing the toothpaste tube.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
That's like rookie, you take the meat out of somewhere
and it's.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
You know, it spup me A great analogy there, picture
a tube of toothpaste. The Yankees are just squeezing the
toothpaste a little more towards the middle of the tube.
The middle bottom, Yeah, middle bottom, middle bottom where you know. So,
if I was the guy who invented this, though it
was his name, they call them Lenni, Lenny Aaron Liner, Yeah,
I would want it named after me, especially with other
(28:47):
teams copying it. I'd want it to be Ceping Lenny Liner.
I was pushing for the volpedo back because they did
it for Anthony Volpi. They did it kind.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Of yeah, but Vulpiy didn't invent the actual bat. If
I'm Lenny, I'm like, I want my name on it.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
And if I'm not mistaken, this guy was so innovative
and so instrumental in this change. Again, the Yankees hired
them just for that. I think the Marlins picked them
up as a got a batting coach job, which is
wild Yeah, because there's so much analytics involved in how
to improve hitting.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
And field coordinator with the Marlins.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
I've had enough hitting. I've said this last week. But
you know how, your algorithm is really a reflection of
who you are. Now you look up one coaching hitting
video cave youno. Do you know how many products there are?
So I'm not shocked by this. There are when I
I'm not exaggerating, hundreds of different products, like here's a bet,
but it's not. It's a rope. And if you can't
(29:40):
hit off the tea with this rope, your your hand
speeds not. They have something for everything. So I'm not shocked,
and I feel like You're only going to see more
and more innovation with gloves, cleats, bats, It's it's science
mixed with athleticism. More than Everfest stays within the rules.
Then what are you complaining about? That's really what problem? Yeah,
what's your problem? Relax? So yeah, my algorithm rich all
(30:02):
weekend was unfortunately, that terrible earthquake in Thailand seven to
seven on the Andy Richter scale. Horrible. Do you see
those people in the pool on the back, Yeah, oh
my god, that was frightening. All right, Well, hopefully you
had a great weekend. A torpedo bat type of weekend.
Let's go to Dan Bay for an update. Let's see
what else is going on in the world of sports.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
What's up, buddy, Hey guys, busy day in baseball. You
had your eyes on that Orioles Red Sox game. Boston
tried to mount a bit of a comeback. They were unsuccessful.
Orioles end up getting an eight five win in that contest.
Right now, in Philadelphia, Nick Castianos has just hit a
home run Phillies, extending their lead over the Rockies six
(30:47):
to wan. Kyle Schwarber is also homered in this game
for Philadelphia. The White Sox were nine nothing winners against
the Twins earlier today while in Milwaukee.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
And the pitch and a swinging a blast down the
left field line, that's way back there. It's fair, it's gone,
it's fair, and it's gone. A home run Salvador Perez
his first of the year.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
It's five nothing.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
All Royals today. They beat the Brewers by a score
of eleven to one on the Royals Radio Network. College
Football News, former Colts and Panthers head coach Frank Reich
will service Stanford's interim ed coach for the twenty twenty
five season. Freeger quarterback Eron Rodgers did have a throwing
session with Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf. Browns owner Jimmy
Haslam took full responsibility over the signing of quarterback Deshaun
(31:33):
Watson and the trade that brought him to Cleveland, calling
it quote a big swing and a miss end quote.
Rutgers freshman Dylan Harper entering the NBA Draft Tonight's women's
college basketball Regional Finals number one Texas against number two
TCU in the Regional three final in Birmingham. Regional four
final in Spokane, as USC against Yukon and Suns forward
Kevin Durant out at least a week with a left
(31:55):
ankle sprain at the Crown in Las Vegas Men's college basketball,
Butler Or with an eighty six, eighty four win over
Utah guys, back to.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
You, no, thank you, dB, Thank you dB. No. I
know it's only, you know, three to five games into
the baseball season. It's been fun already, but how do
you feel about getting off to a smoking hot start
or really straggling? Because I'm looking at the standings now
and I know there's one hundred and sixty two games
and you could argue, Hey, my Mets started own five
last year. Remember how depressing they were oh and five?
(32:25):
Because right now two teams that were postseason teams last
year you just mentioned the brew Crew. Brewers and the
Braves are both oh and four and the Dodgers five
and all pi Braves got that sound of bats coming in.
But I'm saying, like, when you get off to that
rough start, like the Mets are one and two, I'm
not really bummed they win tonight, all of a sudden,
you're two and two. But when you're when you start
(32:46):
oh and four, oh and five, then I feel like
it's such as you got to win five in a
hour to get back to five hundred. I feel like
you're chasing the first month or so.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
I also think there's a completely different feeling with the
Brewers now that you run into a buzzsau like the Yankees.
But Milwaukee last year, remember they were coming off of
a season where Corbyn Burns went to Baltimore. Yeah, their
manager went to the Cubs. They had this chip on
their shoulder and I think they wrote it all the
way through the season. And now maybe someone that catches
up with you. Maybe you weren't as good of a
team as you were last year, and now this year
(33:15):
you're paying the tax on that.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, and I as a Mets fan, I do not
mind the Braves being zero to four, But I just wonder,
like you said, you go five and one over your
next six games, and you're back to five hundred, Like
no one likes chasing. Start doesn't matter that much because
it's a long season. But you don't want to start
from behind, right. I'd rather start hot than than like
the Braves have started. Yeah, well, listen, I have a quick,
(33:39):
dumb sports hypothetical. I think you guys will get down with.
We'll do that next. We're going to play Midweek Major.
We're going to talk about uh something something? Did I
say Midweek Major? I met last one standing? I think?

that last one standing? A dumb hypothetical. We'll tuggle NFL

(35:11):
with a round bat, A round ball going one hundred
and eight miles per hour nowadays. I back you up
for one thing. Idiots out there, and I'll tell you why. Well,
people keep comparing it to steroids. It's like, well, no
steroids were illegal, this bat not illegal. I just saw
jazz chism jazz Jazz chishm puts on social media a
(35:31):
complete explanation of everything we said. And I looked at
the comments and they were still like translation, you sulk
and you need a cheating bat. Like that's why I
can't believe even Dave Portnoy leans into that. He's a
smart guy. What are you doing? They be serious, you're
just stirring the pot, or like you're like rallying the boneheads.
(35:52):
I don't understand how you could even compare this to
steroids or consider this cheating. When they just change the
shape of the bat up a little bit, it's not cheating,
all right. But it is such a huge story, and
I guess because it just seems so obvious but no
one ever thought to do it. Props to the Yankees.
It's going to change the game. And if it's a
(36:14):
little too much like we've seen changes in the past,
like the shift right, well, why didn't they ever do
that before? I don't know, And you know it didn't work,
so they changed it back where we're not allowed. So hey,
it's gonna be an exciting season regardless. Until you can't
do something, it's not cheating if you do it right,
and everyone's an expert in rule three point oh two.
(36:37):
Now everybody l is the rule book. Now I want
to wish everybody a happy Julio says oar Java's day.
Not that that's not it. Yeah, one hundred and seven wins,
only six losses, boxing legend. Why do our draws, Julio Saravas,
But why do our kids really have off from school time?
Say sar Java's day? Just say our of course I'm joking.
I don't say sar Java's day. The I guess activist,
(37:00):
but I'm shouting out the boxer. I know him. He's
legend to me. I also wanted to give one baseball
note over the weekend. I guess I stole roof fro him.
Didn't do anything wrong to me personally. Jacob de Gram,
nice to see him have a really solid first start,
five inning, six strikeouts. Look like the cy young guy
from years past. So if d Gram's healthy, the Rangers
(37:22):
could make some noise with some good pitching in the aos.
So we shall see. So we're live from the Tyrek
dot com studio. Remember to check out the Fox Sports

Next hour, rich over Over promised we're gonna play last
One's Standing, so if you want a prize, be sure
to tune in. I know you're not a quitter. I'm not.
(38:03):
I know, it's what are we talking about. I know
that you're the type of guy that will watch a
Yankees game if they're losing big time. Well, that's because
it's like eating pizza. Even when it's bad, it's still
pretty good. Yeah, the Mets are losing. If a Grand
what's better than the Mets. It's putting something my kids
will watch. So there not board. I don't know. For me,
(38:26):
it's just a good background, even if they're losing it. No,
I don't want to say. If the Mets are if
a Grand Slam can't tie the game and it's after
the sixth inning, I'm like, see tomorrow. There's one hundred
and sixty two games last night, it's this week. I
don't even know I don't know how you lean into that,
especially on Fox Sports Radio A lot everyone. No, but
I think I think you should. I think you should
(38:47):
just be better than that. I don't think you need
to lie. Well. Better than that is actually saying, all right,
the game's over. There's one hundred games I'm gonna watch.
Something you have sports is watching them come back and
fight back. You're the guy that would watch your team
down by twenty five points in the fourth court because
you're in it. You're thick and thin. Rich is only
in it through through thin. I'm only in it through torpedo,
sickness and health, which is like, nope, just health, see
(39:10):
you later. It's a character flaw. I'm out. I understand
if your kid's tugging on your leg because he's dying
to watch Blippy, I understand that, but he can watch
on his tablet. Character flaw because if if your Cubs
fan and there, if you've got nothing else going on,
nothing else, reruner Losers, a rerun of Friends is better
(39:30):
than the actual live game. That's all right, now, let's
ta a walk around the block. Hey, kids, do you
want to watch a movie? A movie night? Okay? My
point is which episode of Friends. Yeah, I mean, which
is acting like he's not watching every piece of trash
on on Netflix. This is the one where they compete
to swap apartments. That's a really funny. He's acting like
he's he's doing a construction, something constructive. Well, my point is,
if you're a Cubs fan and they're losing twelve four
(39:52):
and the seventh inning, can he knows the guy that's like,
what would he not still watch? I don't know, because
that's over. That's what most people that you're talking to.
Would you stay at that game in person? Yes? Because
I paid for that and I'm a fan. God, your maniac.
I think I think eighty percent of the people listening
would agree with me and not. You're no what, I'm
pretty confident, no way all day can say. You mean
(40:13):
the people tuned in to listen to us banter about
sports when they're team's losing, they two know, doesn't mean
they're dumb sports fans. So you know what, how how
confident and certain you are, there is your character flaw.
I think you're gross in what you're saying and how
you're saying it. I think you are jackass. So let
(40:33):
me explain by hypothetical, Hey Danny, when your team's losing,
you still watch I do. Hey Sam, if your team's
losing and you still keep it on, depends on how
much they're losing by it. Say so, what's the what
about comebacks? You don't believe in them?
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Iowa is down thirty five to seven Ohio State. I'm
turning it off. Yeah, if it's like midway through the
third quarter, why would I want to watch it? No
one wants to watch it. But you don't just keep
it on. You can go about your day and make
yourself a sandwich. I mean, all that game's on. I
kind of sided with Rich here, Like.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
If the bad if your team roared back and made
a historic comeback gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
I'm realistic. All of our teams have made big not
with footballs off. If they're making a big comeback, guess
what I'm gonna get text messages with my friends like
you see you in this, And that just means turn
on TV back on, because maybe they're like started the
guy watching Modern Family again than the live game that's
rather watching Rich.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
You'll be halfway around the block walking with your kids,
so you're gonna have to run back to your house.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
I'm not one dimensional like some ass clowns in this room.
Not to mention you can't have the game on, you know,
on headphones or something and take a walk like he's
acting like you have to chease, but you think I
should be. I should be walking around the block with
my kids with a headphone in to make sure the Mets,
who are down nine to one don't make a comeback.
You're giving every spare moment of your life to your
(41:49):
your child. They're very busy coloring. I have a great
hypothetical that clearly you're not gonna have anything to do
with next Hang tight,

A Yankees torpedo volpedo bats a weekend, I was, Sam,
Is that a torpedo bat in your pants? Or are you
just happy for a show? WHOA? I think that answers that.
(00:47):
Oh my goodness, A Page Becker's Yukon dropping forty sort
of weekend. Not a Raphael Devers striking out at every
bat sort of weekend. I think he's striking out as
we speak. I'm Covino, That is Rich. What a weekend?
It was excited for this week, Excited to be rocking
out with you. Let's go, you said, March madness, March
(01:09):
coming to an end? Is there anything that mad about it? No? Cinderellas.
I think people are more mad about the Yankees in
their bats. No upsets for one seeds only happened one
other time back in two thousand and eight, So everyone
that tried to get tricky with their bracket, like the
final four again all one seeds. The Elite eight was
(01:30):
a one two one two one two one three. It's
very usual, suspects. You know, it's exactly what you would
have thought. But I hope you enjoyed your college basketball,
your baseball, your white lotus, your weekend, and I'm excited
for this week. I really am lots to talk about today.

but it's a water bottle. And oh it's the Midnight

(03:00):
and Rich on Fox Sports Radio water bottle is let's
be honest, your kid's lost yours, so try to win
one later on when we play Last One Standing we
played every Monday. Is the game that's sweeping the nation.
So lots to get to so pumped about this show.
I'm just pumped Rich because the Yankee scored one hundred
and thirty runs this weekend. I mean I felt like it, right, Yeah,
we got to talk about this torpedo bat. I know
(03:22):
everyone else has, but I feel like our opinions more
fun and better. So, first of all, as a Mets fan,
Danny g as a Dodgers fan, I was Sam Dodgers fan.
I mean, you're the Yankee guy here, Cavino, I would
love to hate on you. I would love to say cheating,
bogus bs. But they've done nothing wrong. Anyone that's opposing
(03:43):
what the Yankees are doing just a bunch of damn haters.
It's funny that you say, I would love to say
cheating and all that. That's what everybody's saying online. There's
so much misinformation and so many people who are so
upset by this. But I keep hearing the wrong rumors
over and over and over again. They're pretending and acting
like all the Yankees are using it. It was designed
(04:04):
for Anthony Volpi. That's why I said the volpedo bat.
Because he wasn't getting around on the ball. He kept
hitting the ball on the logo. So they said, let's
make the media part of the bat where the logo
is closer to the handle. So essentially you're changing where
the girth is. Yes, exactly, and girth could be distributed
in different places on everybody. Then he want to say
(04:25):
girth is worth Yeah. So the only people that used
it for the Yankees this weekend and they hit nine
home runs in one game, like fourteen to fifteen home
runs over the weekend, only Jettism and Vulpi are using it.
So the thought that Aaron Judge and Goldschmidt and all
these guys, no, that's fake. The fact that it's illegal
(04:48):
also false and fake. The rules are simple. Everyone's throwing
out these rules as if they're experts. Rule three point
zero two. According to the MLB, bats can't be thicker
than two point sixty one inches, right, two point sixty one,
that's what she said. And guess what, it's not bigger
than two point sixty one. That's the magic number here.
(05:10):
It's just distributed differently. Has to be made of solid wood.
Guess what, that's what it's made of, solid wood, just
distributed differently. Can't have a cut in the hole the
tip of the bat deeper than one inch. It does
not forty two inches inches in length. That's the limit
and those are the rules, and it just goes by
(05:30):
the rules. They were just innovative and changed it up
a little bit. That's surprising. What's more surprising, which is
that it took this long for someone to try to
innovate something. That's what happens when nerds and jocks collaborate. Right,
Yankees got an mit like scientists, nerds nerds. When you
get nerds and jocks work it together, look what happens.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
How do you think you're gonna beat the alpha betas
any other way?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Right? Do you know what? Get that javelin? Yeah, Lamar latrelle,
you are just looking for every advantage, every edge. Will
not deny that. But I think it's smart. You know,
It's like, are you mad that pictures are throwing one
hundred and eight miles per hour?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
The game changes, the game advances, equipment changes all the time,
all the time. And if it's in with the in
the parameters of the MLB rules, then what's the problem.
Besides all the lies that are being told on social
media social media, I haven't seen a story explode like
this in social media in a while.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Wait, you mean the story today about the Yankees Big
New gloves that they're.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Gloves fake. I saw how they change the Yankees logo
to to make it like a fat whiffle ball bat,
because the k and the Yankees like traditional big red
plastic bat that all the kids have when they're toddlers,
or that vourtex bat that hit bombs like Mark McGuire. Look,
we've seen it all and it's hilarious, but people are
so mad about it, and I'm thinking, well, it's just
(06:56):
a matter of time before everybody gets they're already putting shit.
It's in your boiling door, has already been on that.
There's other players that have them. Yeah, used it over
the weekend. Yeah, they've already been approved by the MLB.
Now do they have to go through some sort of
reapproval per team that I don't know, But the Yankees
aren't the only ones allowed to use it, and to
(07:20):
me it makes perfect sense. I'm more surprised than anything
that it took this long for them to figure something
like that out. The other part of the advantage rich
that no one's really talking about is all right again, Vaulpi.
He was basically getting jammed, not getting around quick enough
to get the barrel on the ball. Right, So they said, well,
let's make the barrel closer to the hand open to
me to the bet. But when you do that, it
(07:40):
also appears to be lighter. So think about it from
that perspective. Right, If you're using a thirty four ounce bat,
but you move the meat closer to the handle, it
feels like a thirty two ounce bat because the heavy
part isn't at the end wasted at the end. So
it's really just smarter than anything. And here's the other side.
(08:00):
Not everybody likes it. Not everybody's using it because it
feels weird to them. It feels it feels different, so
they're it's like some of those slap hitters with the
axe handle. Right. Yes, not for everything. It's a redesign.
And dude, it's only a story because the Yankees are
doing it. If it was the White Sox, no one
would give a Diddley squat. Yeah, let's not forget the
(08:21):
Yankees played at home. They have a small ballpark. Early
on in the season, hard to not hit one out, right,
So Yankees are on fire, I'll give you that. I
think it is crazy how everyone thinks the whole team's
using it when it really is Vulpy and Chisholm and
Aaron Judge on fire. The guy is not using one
of these bats. But there's one thing I want to
(08:42):
make clear. If the rest of the league starts using it,
could the Yankee fans not do this whole Oh your copycats?
Because it's like if the first team in the NFL
that came up with a cool face mask and everyone
else uses it. No, I just don't want to hear
Yankee fans call people copycats. I mean I already did
on social media. But yeah, no, I think it's fair.
That's also fair. I don't see any problem with this.
(09:04):
I find it odd that people do. To me, it
just makes sense. Again, I'm more surprised than anything that
it took this long to happen. Because we see equipment
innovation all the time. Why was the bat the same
way for so long? We need to ask ourselves that. Like,
I know it's not fore hitting, but when gian Carlos
(09:25):
Stanton got hit in the face, remember he came back
with that cool metal little flap. Didn't that turn into
every player having a little bit of a flap extender
on the helmet? No one said during copying Dunk Carlow,
it's you know, you see a cool innovation, Innovati die
Man and as our buddy Jim Ramsey, our unofficial consultant
of the show. Jim Ramsey hit us up from North
(09:46):
Carolina and he said, the torpedo bats are an example
of a broader, relatable point. Sometimes you need to challenge.
That's the way we've always done it. So that's the
way it stays. That's the way we've always done it.
To see what's possible in what my actually be better,
and this might be better for some, for some and
for all the Like I said, the Red Sox haters
(10:07):
and the port noise out there saying the Yankees are
cheap and cheating, it's just a matter of time before
you're broke. Cast Raphael Devers has one too. But the
reality is not everyone's gonna want these. Not everybody's gonna
want them. There's innovations with helmet designs in the NFL,
there's innovations with i'm sure compression sleeves and socks and
(10:29):
everything in the NBA. It just might not be comfortable.
It's not my style. If you think every guy next
week's gonna have a torpedo bat, you're mistaken. Some guys
are like, no, the way I like my bat distributed
is this way. Everybody has their own example of that.
Like there's a new piece of equipment at the office,
and you know some people are like, yeah, I like it,
and then other people like, no, man, I like the
(10:50):
all the way better. I'm more comfortable with the old one.
I'll be like all these people, Like a couple of
years back, do you remember when everyone in corporate America
decided to have a standing desk desk and then some
people would have a treadmill and they'd be like working
and doing their emails while they're on their treadmill. I mean,
there's always an innovation. I mean, listen, when we came
here to Fox. I'm not saying we're the torpedo Bats
(11:12):
of FSR. No, I'm tweeting that out right now, Covino
and Rich the torpedo Bats of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I remember when heavy in the middle, light on top.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
I remember more like the twerppedo bats, give me on
red show sticks at the bottom, big heads, Yeah, gurthy
and delivers.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The reason I say this is because when we first
got here, I remember one of the first interviews we
did was Henry Winkler because on the Funds Wowie zowie.
You remember. It was right around the time when Winkler
had that funny interaction with Mahomes on the field and
(11:52):
he's like, yeah, I'll come over for dinner and he's like,
you're welcome at my dinner table anytime. You're welcome, Patrick.
I remember now, we wanted to interview the Fonds because
we're pals with them. I remember some people around here
were like, yeah, have them call up, and we said, well,
why don't we do a zoom call? That way we
(12:14):
could get video in better quality. And at first it
was like, well, no one really does that around here,
and I remember us being why not? Why not? No,
we just don't do it that way, well says who.
Sometimes you have to question the well we don't do
it around here that way, sticking within the rules that
are written. I mean, take it back to your earliest
level of Little League, Hey, rich when everyone had a
(12:35):
ceramic bad You were curious about it, But did you
go out and buy one and jump on it or
were you just comfortable with yours? Some people love them,
some people did. That's what I mean, Like it worked
for some and some people loved it. But I guess
what I stuck with my Eastern big barrel. You know,
Damn Byer, my black magic Dan Byer, who's a student
of the game, not just baseball football, and going to
bring up I think Colin stars insinuated it's BELICHICKI and
(13:01):
I'll be honest, I thought the same exact thing because
Dan wasn't there a rule where Belichick fold the way
to run the clock out more And it's like, ah,
very tricky Belichick. And I said, we're going to change
that rule.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yeah, yeah, And verbel actually used it against Belichick in
a game as well, which ultimately led to the change.
I look at it as in from the world of golf,
to be honest with you, of trying to get an advantage.
There's rules that your club needs to fit in. But
as a guy who's not a professional, I need a
bigger club face because they don't always hit it on
(13:32):
the sweet spot when I don't. I want it to
go a little bit more straighter. So like a tour
pro wouldn't use my clubs because they would want their
own in a certain way. It's not an exact parallel,
but that's kind of how I looked at it.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Dan, question, because I don't know. I'm not the PGA
expert like you are. But when we were kids and
you'd watch highlights of a Chi Chi Rodriguez doing funny handshakes,
and you'd be watching all the highlights on with your dad.
They had a regular putters. Who is the first to
have the I hold the putter a funny way and
do all that? Because that I'm guessing at first, Whoever
(14:06):
the first few golfers that did that, you don't think
they were like, well, hold on what I doing with
this different type of putter?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I can tell you Bernard Longer was one of the
first to do it.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
You don't think there was resistance by some like what
is this guy doing?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
There was because it also looked funky as well. And
then there's there's a whole different point to that of
an anchoring because of what they would do is they
put the club to the chest. But just the point
of it being different. I mean, there are golf putters
now that you guys see where you know, there's a
big white circle you know around it or two of
them which then lines up and they'll call them like
a two ball putter. And putters never looked like that,
(14:42):
you know, thirty forty years ago, and now they do.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Cavino, I know, you're a big bowling guy. There's you
see a bowler's bowl like now, oh, with two hands.
They take two hands to do it. I remember the
first guy that I remember seeing it was a guy
I think his name was like, I'm not don one
a chili and I would see him used two Well,
actually I started that when I was like five years old. Yeah,
I think I invented it, but then I saw a
(15:07):
bunch of other people doing it all the time. Just
became the way. So again, my confusion is more how
social media has run with this and people are mad
about it when it's going to be fair for everybody.
And why do you want to give so much advantage
to the picture but not the batter here, That's what
I don't get, the pictures always doing a little something.
(15:29):
Batters can't change how the bat is shaped since when
you know. But again, we've never seen anything like this before,
so people are afraid of it, you know. What It
comes down to people, And I think more people are
just mad about the fact that the Yankees were the
ones that thought of it. First, that's really what you're imagine.
If the Dodgers came out, that's it. It would have
(15:49):
been even worse. I didn't think it could. That's all
people are mad about. I do think it's bs.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
The Yankees are gonna wear graduation caps tomorrow night to
show how smart they are, and why on the on
the cardboard piece task.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
The jokes are hilarious though, Like I've been entertained so
much by the torpedo bat that everybody's talking about. It
really is a great story. It's made for some great
memes right weekend. Hilarious, a great start. So the hatred
that everyone's throwing at the Yankees, I do find to
be as a Yankees fan, like hilarious and entertaining. I
just don't understand all the lies about it. I'll tell
(16:25):
you why. It's well, I'll be honest, look yourself in
the mirror and I will as well. It's people that
love to read headlines. I guess, so not the story. Yeah,
And I have another example, like the same way. At first,
to be honest, if you want to know the truth.
At first, I also thought it was the whole Yankee team,
and then it's yeah, because that's how it seems until
(16:46):
you read the article and you're like, oh, no, it's vulpe.
And by the way, I mean, they hit nine home
runs in one game, a team record, so of course
that shines a huge light on the fact that they
have different shaped bats. I mean, remember, like a week ago,
all that stuff about what underneath the pyramids, and if
you just read the headline you probably still think there's
stuff underneath the pyramids.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Is also why you need time to look underneath at
the comments too, because there were Yankee experts in there
immediately correcting all the boneheads.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
So you know, I can't believe Judge hit those three
home runs with.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
One of these bats, and a Yankee expert like Cavino
right underneath that saying, hey, bonehead, he wasn't even using
that bad Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It makes the idiot so dumber. You know. I'll give
you the example if you want to rewind the better
year ago Danny, because I think a lot of people
on their network were incorrect and saying do you remember
the female boxer who everyone amediate was like just trends
for sure, and it was like everybody thought, oh that's
the truth. Yeah, because the the this that's how the story.
(17:44):
It's like a bad game.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
I thought.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
We put the brakes on that on our show because
I was like, let's let the dust settle on this
before we, you know, have a strong stance on it.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Bad game of telephone is strong if you don't how
many legitimate broadcasters were calling that female boxer trans and listen,
they were idiosyncrasies were they were. I believe that, But
we were the ones that were like, ah, pumped the brakes.
We didn't roll with that the way everyone else did.
I mean that that was the story though, too, so
(18:17):
you're like, well, what am I supposed to believe? If
that's the story. Let's just get this clear right now.
This is a legal bat. The Yankees ran it by
the MLB. It's not called a torpedo bat. That just
sort of organically happened. It's more shaped like a bowling
pin than anything. It's not that big of a difference.
(18:39):
It's just distributed in a different way, and it's like
wasted mass at the tip of the bat. You don't
want to hit the baseball at the tip of the bat,
so they just brought it toward the logo. Raphael Devers
is stepping into the batter's box, by the way, I'll
see if he strikes out, you're expecting to strike out.
And I heard the Braves and a bunch of other
(18:59):
teams already put their orders in for these new torpedo bats,
which some people are gonna like guys like Jazz Chisholm
who were open to like, yeah, man, I like it.
And then other people who are just already feeling good
about the bat that they use, that are not gonna
mess with whatever's not broke. Like I said a few
minutes ago, think of how many people you know gave
(19:20):
that axe handle bat a chance, like, yeah, I'll take
some swings, and some people like no, not for me.
And there's a few players that stuck with it. So
innovator die, I think it's cool, like you Dan and
Dany g and everyone said, I promise you Rich, I
swear if it was another team, let's say it was
your Mets, right, yeah, I would be more mad that
you guys came up with the idea first and that
we're we're now playing catch up to the Mets. But
(19:42):
I would not be mad that there was a loophole
that someone figured out that was a legal loophole to
make the game more exciting for more offense. Could they
not be mad about that? If it was fair for
everyone else to use it? There was a company the
first There was a first company that said, let me
use social media to promote my business. Now every single
(20:03):
company does it, Like there's gonna be one person that
or how about like chat GPT people who want to
use chat GPT to their advantages and no other people
are go, well, I don't know if that's okay. It's like, well,
we have the ability to do this, why can't.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
We This also reminded me a little bit of the
champions during COVID, not First Bubblets, Mickey Mouse. Everybody had
the same chance.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, that's true. Everyone has the same opportunity here, you know,
unless you're a pitcher in the MLB. I don't know
what everyone's so mad about. All right, well, listen, we
have one more pitch because I want to see if
Dever strikes out full count and they have a lot
a tough weekend that we'll take your feedback on the
torpedo bat. We'll talk about a new move the Mets
are doing. We've got some NBA, some NFL, but the
(20:49):
three to two pitch. Let's see what happens here, and
Ever walks. All right, he has he's a good player.
He just had a roll start. Turn it around, all right. Listen,
we got more cove Rich next right here on Fox
Sports Radio. Now Rich. Yes, life in general could be chaotic.

nasty Nester Cortes sort of weekend. I mean you would
have done better. Ah, take about pitches three home runs?
(22:36):
Think about that. You know how a lot of times,
you know, idiotic fans will I could do better. That
is a circumstance where you're absolutely right, nasty Nester Cortes
and his fun, weird, wind up mustachio and all faced
his old team, and that was the day the Yankees
score twenty runs. But three pitches three home runs. Honestly,
it's into a ball. It would have been to add
(22:56):
insult to injury. He has like platinum blonde hair with
like a hint of purple in it, and he asked him, well, man,
go with the platinum look. He's like, well, I couldn't
do that with the Yankees, so I figure I'd lean
into it with the Brewers. And they're like, well, technically
you could have no one ever said anything about dying
your hair with the Yankees. So uh yeah, well, welcome
to the brew crew. He got rocked man. Right now,

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well bets kind of weekend. How about that walkoff on
Friday night?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Was why I was out at a bar when that happened, dude,
And that's always the best when you're out and about.
You're out in about and you know, I'm in Los
Angeles and everyone's there to watch the Dodgers win and
Mookie Betts. It's a walk off, and you know what
he went through was away one hundred and twenty five pounds.
He looks so little and he hits a bomb like that.
(24:04):
The place erupted. It was so fun to be out
at that night. Yeah, sure, he's just not on ozempic.
I don't know, maybe so No, I'm glad he's better.
Iowa Sam on the ones and twos, DB's got your updates,
Spotty's on the videos at Covino and Rich. Look, it's
a new innovation. Stop crying about the torpedo bat. Don't
buy into the lies. It's approved by the MLB. It
(24:26):
doesn't exceed the specifications that MLB requires for a Major
League Baseball bat. Again, it can't be thicker than two
point six one inches, has to be solid wood, it
can't have a cut deeper than one inch on the
tip of the bat, and it can't be over forty
two inches in length. None of these bats are not
all the Yankees are using them. Everybody's able to use them.
(24:46):
Like I said, I don't know what the approval is.
Like Rich, if all of a sudden the Mets want
to throw a specified order in, I don't know how
long that takes. I don't know what the rules are
with that. But already teams are putting their orders in.
Players are going to give it a try. Either they're
gonna like it or they're not. It's like there's always
an innovation that people jump on too, and then some
people don't like. So not everyone's gonna use it, and
(25:09):
not all the Yankees are for example, when it comes
to mind, is a stupid one, but like lane assistance
on my car, some people love it. I is all hated. Yeah,
I feel that. I'm like, ah, I don't like it,
and other people swear by it. Right. I had a
car that had something you love and I'm like, yeah,
well mean that that heads up to splay where on
(25:32):
your windshield you see like the hologram of your navigation.
I'm like, yeah, no things, some don't mean that. I
love that, and I lean into it. That innovation works
for me. Not all new stuff is good for everybody.
That's why guys like Aaron Judge, I doubt Gean Carlos Stanton,
guys like that won't use the new bat, but younger
players might be open to it. Look at it like
anything in life, there's people that are reluctant and resistors,
(25:54):
and there's people that love to jump on a new
trend just to even give it a shot. For instance,
just recently, how long has the coffee company Starbucks been around?
You ever heard of them? Covino? Finally, Well, like weeks ago? Yeah,
mobile water now weeks is a stretch, but I would
say month. I would say about a year no, no, no, Yeah,
(26:15):
I'll prove it to you. Sounds a fine, but you're right.
I was. I was way later. I was the guy
that would Cavino was the guy that would go to
Starbucks and wait in the line. The line, like, who
does that? I like waiting in line? Another thing? We live,
we live. We live here at Fox Sports Radio. We
live here at Fox next to an l Loco, which
is a little, you know, chicken fast food place. Up
(26:36):
until recently, I don't. I don't have the for that.
I don't. So you walk in order and wait fifteen
I don't go there every day. It's not fifteen minutes.
Yeah I don't. It's like a little kiosk, And yeah,
I don't go there enough to like want to flood
my phone up with you.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Save some of your hard earned dollars too, because you
can scare those acts. Yeah, scan the code.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
The point is, what do you mean? It's the same
thing here? I had something boomerash. You said, clog up
your phone with an app. Yeah, I don't want it.
I don't want them, I don't need it.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Do you hate having to sign into every thing?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I'm not there log into? That proves your point. Some
guys like gash Chism are like, yeah, give me the app.
I'll use the new stuff. Sam's got a cordy keyboard.
Some people not open to it. But there's also debates
and those are fun too. On do you get more
(27:32):
of a sweet spot? So if you hit it outside
of the sweet spot, are you getting less of an
impact than you would have got before? Right? I know
Mike was arguing. Wasn't Mike and dB arguing about that
off the ear runs this place? Yeah, because I heard
I've heard several people talk about it because you're shortening
or you're you're compacting the sweet spot closer to the handle. Now,
(27:55):
if you hit it toward the end of the bat,
maybe you would have got a little juice out of
it before, where you're actually maybe gonna get less juice
out of it now. I'm sort of getting that understanding too,
Like it's not all bombs that you're gonna get out
of it. You really just have to hit that sweet
Think about it where if you're taking toward meat, the
meat of the bat, if you're taking the meat from
somewhere and you're putting it that you're losing meat somewhere, right,
(28:19):
Like it's like, you know, squeezing the toothpaste tube.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
That's like rookie, you take the meat out of somewhere
and it's.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
You know, it spup me A great analogy there, picture
a tube of toothpaste. The Yankees are just squeezing the
toothpaste a little more towards the middle of the tube.
The middle bottom, Yeah, middle bottom, middle bottom where you know. So,
if I was the guy who invented this, though it
was his name, they call them Lenni, Lenny Aaron Liner, Yeah,
I would want it named after me, especially with other
(28:47):
teams copying it. I'd want it to be Ceping Lenny Liner.
I was pushing for the volpedo back because they did
it for Anthony Volpi. They did it kind.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Of yeah, but Vulpiy didn't invent the actual bat. If
I'm Lenny, I'm like, I want my name on it.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
And if I'm not mistaken, this guy was so innovative
and so instrumental in this change. Again, the Yankees hired
them just for that. I think the Marlins picked them
up as a got a batting coach job, which is
wild Yeah, because there's so much analytics involved in how
to improve hitting.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
And field coordinator with the Marlins.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
I've had enough hitting. I've said this last week. But
you know how, your algorithm is really a reflection of
who you are. Now you look up one coaching hitting
video cave youno. Do you know how many products there are?
So I'm not shocked by this. There are when I
I'm not exaggerating, hundreds of different products, like here's a bet,
but it's not. It's a rope. And if you can't
(29:40):
hit off the tea with this rope, your your hand
speeds not. They have something for everything. So I'm not shocked,
and I feel like You're only going to see more
and more innovation with gloves, cleats, bats, It's it's science
mixed with athleticism. More than Everfest stays within the rules.
Then what are you complaining about? That's really what problem? Yeah,
what's your problem? Relax? So yeah, my algorithm rich all
(30:02):
weekend was unfortunately, that terrible earthquake in Thailand seven to
seven on the Andy Richter scale. Horrible. Do you see
those people in the pool on the back, Yeah, oh
my god, that was frightening. All right, Well, hopefully you
had a great weekend. A torpedo bat type of weekend.
Let's go to Dan Bay for an update. Let's see
what else is going on in the world of sports.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
What's up, buddy, Hey guys, busy day in baseball. You
had your eyes on that Orioles Red Sox game. Boston
tried to mount a bit of a comeback. They were unsuccessful.
Orioles end up getting an eight five win in that contest.
Right now, in Philadelphia, Nick Castianos has just hit a
home run Phillies, extending their lead over the Rockies six
(30:47):
to wan. Kyle Schwarber is also homered in this game
for Philadelphia. The White Sox were nine nothing winners against
the Twins earlier today while in Milwaukee.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
And the pitch and a swinging a blast down the
left field line, that's way back there. It's fair, it's gone,
it's fair, and it's gone. A home run Salvador Perez
his first of the year.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
It's five nothing.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
All Royals today. They beat the Brewers by a score
of eleven to one on the Royals Radio Network. College
Football News, former Colts and Panthers head coach Frank Reich
will service Stanford's interim ed coach for the twenty twenty
five season. Freeger quarterback Eron Rodgers did have a throwing
session with Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf. Browns owner Jimmy
Haslam took full responsibility over the signing of quarterback Deshaun

Butler Or with an eighty six, eighty four win over
Utah guys, back to.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
You, no, thank you, dB, Thank you dB. No. I
know it's only, you know, three to five games into
the baseball season. It's been fun already, but how do
you feel about getting off to a smoking hot start
or really straggling? Because I'm looking at the standings now
and I know there's one hundred and sixty two games
and you could argue, Hey, my Mets started own five
last year. Remember how depressing they were oh and five?
(32:25):
Because right now two teams that were postseason teams last
year you just mentioned the brew Crew. Brewers and the
Braves are both oh and four and the Dodgers five
and all pi Braves got that sound of bats coming in.
But I'm saying, like, when you get off to that
rough start, like the Mets are one and two, I'm
not really bummed they win tonight, all of a sudden,
you're two and two. But when you're when you start
(32:46):
oh and four, oh and five, then I feel like
it's such as you got to win five in a
hour to get back to five hundred. I feel like
you're chasing the first month or so.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
I also think there's a completely different feeling with the
Brewers now that you run into a buzzsau like the Yankees.
But Milwaukee last year, remember they were coming off of
a season where Corbyn Burns went to Baltimore. Yeah, their
manager went to the Cubs. They had this chip on
their shoulder and I think they wrote it all the
way through the season. And now maybe someone that catches
up with you. Maybe you weren't as good of a
team as you were last year, and now this year
(33:15):
you're paying the tax on that.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, and I as a Mets fan, I do not
mind the Braves being zero to four, But I just wonder,
like you said, you go five and one over your
next six games, and you're back to five hundred, Like
no one likes chasing. Start doesn't matter that much because
it's a long season. But you don't want to start
from behind, right. I'd rather start hot than than like
the Braves have started. Yeah, well, listen, I have a quick,
(33:39):
dumb sports hypothetical. I think you guys will get down with.
We'll do that next. We're going to play Midweek Major.
We're going to talk about uh something something? Did I
say Midweek Major? I met last one standing? I think?
And it's Wednesday? A ready, last one? Get to work
that last one standing? A dumb hypothetical. We'll tuggle NFL
all coming up right here is your business struggling to
(34:02):
balance your workforce with production demands in a variable economy.
Balancing your spending while maintaining the necessary team can be
very tricky. Is time to try something new like the

(35:11):
with a round bat, A round ball going one hundred
and eight miles per hour nowadays. I back you up
for one thing. Idiots out there, and I'll tell you why. Well,
people keep comparing it to steroids. It's like, well, no
steroids were illegal, this bat not illegal. I just saw
jazz chism jazz Jazz chishm puts on social media a
(35:31):
complete explanation of everything we said. And I looked at
the comments and they were still like translation, you sulk
and you need a cheating bat. Like that's why I
can't believe even Dave Portnoy leans into that. He's a
smart guy. What are you doing? They be serious, you're
just stirring the pot, or like you're like rallying the boneheads.
(35:52):
I don't understand how you could even compare this to
steroids or consider this cheating. When they just change the
shape of the bat up a little bit, it's not cheating,
all right. But it is such a huge story, and
I guess because it just seems so obvious but no
one ever thought to do it. Props to the Yankees.
It's going to change the game. And if it's a
(36:14):
little too much like we've seen changes in the past,
like the shift right, well, why didn't they ever do
that before? I don't know, And you know it didn't work,
so they changed it back where we're not allowed. So hey,
it's gonna be an exciting season regardless. Until you can't
do something, it's not cheating if you do it right,
and everyone's an expert in rule three point oh two.
(36:37):
Now everybody l is the rule book. Now I want
to wish everybody a happy Julio says oar Java's day.
Not that that's not it. Yeah, one hundred and seven wins,
only six losses, boxing legend. Why do our draws, Julio Saravas,
But why do our kids really have off from school time?
Say sar Java's day? Just say our of course I'm joking.
I don't say sar Java's day. The I guess activist,
(37:00):
but I'm shouting out the boxer. I know him. He's
legend to me. I also wanted to give one baseball
note over the weekend. I guess I stole roof fro him.
Didn't do anything wrong to me personally. Jacob de Gram,
nice to see him have a really solid first start,
five inning, six strikeouts. Look like the cy young guy
from years past. So if d Gram's healthy, the Rangers
(37:22):
could make some noise with some good pitching in the aos.
So we shall see. So we're live from the Tyrek

Next hour, rich over Over promised we're gonna play last
One's Standing, so if you want a prize, be sure
to tune in. I know you're not a quitter. I'm not.
(38:03):
I know, it's what are we talking about. I know
that you're the type of guy that will watch a
Yankees game if they're losing big time. Well, that's because
it's like eating pizza. Even when it's bad, it's still
pretty good. Yeah, the Mets are losing. If a Grand
what's better than the Mets. It's putting something my kids
will watch. So there not board. I don't know. For me,
(38:26):
it's just a good background, even if they're losing it. No,
I don't want to say. If the Mets are if
a Grand Slam can't tie the game and it's after
the sixth inning, I'm like, see tomorrow. There's one hundred
and sixty two games last night, it's this week. I
don't even know I don't know how you lean into that,
especially on Fox Sports Radio A lot everyone. No, but
I think I think you should. I think you should
(38:47):
just be better than that. I don't think you need
to lie. Well. Better than that is actually saying, all right,
the game's over. There's one hundred games I'm gonna watch.
Something you have sports is watching them come back and
fight back. You're the guy that would watch your team
down by twenty five points in the fourth court because
you're in it. You're thick and thin. Rich is only
in it through through thin. I'm only in it through torpedo,
sickness and health, which is like, nope, just health, see
(39:10):
you later. It's a character flaw. I'm out. I understand
if your kid's tugging on your leg because he's dying
to watch Blippy, I understand that, but he can watch
on his tablet. Character flaw because if if your Cubs
fan and there, if you've got nothing else going on,
nothing else, reruner Losers, a rerun of Friends is better
(39:30):
than the actual live game. That's all right, now, let's
ta a walk around the block. Hey, kids, do you
want to watch a movie? A movie night? Okay? My
point is which episode of Friends. Yeah, I mean, which
is acting like he's not watching every piece of trash
on on Netflix. This is the one where they compete
to swap apartments. That's a really funny. He's acting like
he's he's doing a construction, something constructive. Well, my point is,
if you're a Cubs fan and they're losing twelve four
(39:52):
and the seventh inning, can he knows the guy that's like,
what would he not still watch? I don't know, because
that's over. That's what most people that you're talking to.
Would you stay at that game in person? Yes? Because
I paid for that and I'm a fan. God, your maniac.
I think I think eighty percent of the people listening
would agree with me and not. You're no what, I'm
pretty confident, no way all day can say. You mean
(40:13):
the people tuned in to listen to us banter about
sports when they're team's losing, they two know, doesn't mean
they're dumb sports fans. So you know what, how how
confident and certain you are, there is your character flaw.
I think you're gross in what you're saying and how
you're saying it. I think you are jackass. So let
(40:33):
me explain by hypothetical, Hey Danny, when your team's losing,
you still watch I do. Hey Sam, if your team's
losing and you still keep it on, depends on how
much they're losing by it. Say so, what's the what
about comebacks? You don't believe in them?
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Iowa is down thirty five to seven Ohio State. I'm
turning it off. Yeah, if it's like midway through the
third quarter, why would I want to watch it? No
one wants to watch it. But you don't just keep
it on. You can go about your day and make
yourself a sandwich. I mean, all that game's on. I
kind of sided with Rich here, Like.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
If the bad if your team roared back and made
a historic comeback gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
I'm realistic. All of our teams have made big not
with footballs off. If they're making a big comeback, guess
what I'm gonna get text messages with my friends like
you see you in this, And that just means turn
on TV back on, because maybe they're like started the
guy watching Modern Family again than the live game that's
rather watching Rich.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
You'll be halfway around the block walking with your kids,
so you're gonna have to run back to your house.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
I'm not one dimensional like some ass clowns in this room.
Not to mention you can't have the game on, you know,
on headphones or something and take a walk like he's
acting like you have to chease, but you think I
should be. I should be walking around the block with
my kids with a headphone in to make sure the Mets,
who are down nine to one don't make a comeback.
You're giving every spare moment of your life to your
(41:49):
your child. They're very busy coloring. I have a great
hypothetical that clearly you're not gonna have anything to do
with next Hang tight,
