 Buck happy birthday how you doing today I made another one yes sir I am playing with house money right now I'm playing with house money keep your eyes open we all chipped in in the studio and we bought you another dog we figured three wasn't enough you know we have to keep them quite because you know bastards are real loud this time of day yeah can't cannot interview with what you're doing for the next few minutes here on the pregame hey you share your birthday shares the major league debut of Mariano Rivera and you were there for that what do you remember about that you know he wasn't particularly good that day you saw the breaking ball never was a good pitch for me it's one of the reasons why we ended up with him in the bullpen it was I think it was an Anaheim and it was yeah I guess it was an ounce I got a pretty good memory at 65 boys and girls so anyway it really wasn't till he pitched against the white socks in the spot start I think it was fifth or sixth outing where we all kind of looked around go wow there's a little special fastball coming out I'd love to see the spin rate and all the the analytics on Mariano's fastball and the cutter but great kid hitters weren't very comfortable off of him he ended up making our playoff roster that year and believe me he was the best birthday president I may have ever gotten I wish I'd known then what I know now yeah that debut in 1995 obviously launched a hall of fame career but fuck let's shift back to today's game Jamison Tyone is just trying to cement his place with the Yankees and in their rotation what does Tyone need to do to join that starting rotation party well Jack you're on the same page as me I think the secondary pitches it's really gonna be of utmost importance today because they're gonna be five left-handed hitters on line up three of which are switch hitters so he's gonna have to have a feel for the changeup day I really believe it or a plus breaking ball and I think to get into attack mode regardless of the count so many times just o2 1 2 and we quit attacking you know we have this advantage that we lose three pitches later o2 1 2 get in the zone and stay in the zone and here's my stuff see what you can do with it but the changeup with the left-handed hitters gonna be big today we've talked a lot about geo or shallow lately and I don't know if you love comparisons but can you compare him to a player maybe that you managed you know you know I I would say probably JJ Hardy and it's about trust you know he's a guy you know he's gonna get a signal you know he's gonna know where to throw the ball you know he's gonna attempt to run the bases intelligently you know he's gonna try to be a good teammate that's really all you're looking for you put a hit and run sign on with him well I first of all they're probably not gonna hit and run but he's gonna get the sign he's gonna put it in play and it's not gonna be beneath him to do something for the club we talked a lot about him with the Orioles what we tried to get him you know he went from being a kind of a utility player with Cleveland to hitting fourth from the New York Yankees so he's gonna be feeling pretty good about the trade but you know the people powers to be said they didn't think he would hit enough well the Yankees were smart and we weren't several times this season buck Aaron Boone has talked about his lineup and he has said I could have put Wade in there but I like him coming off the bench I like him as a weapon what kind of value does a player like Wade have for a manager well he brings an above average tool to every game he plays and he can when you can put him anywhere on the field defensively and not take a step back and a lot of cases take a step forward I love the other night that they could bring him into a game in a potential Bunt situation not waste the out with a Bunt feeling confident that he can still second base Jack he can't run he can really run and he wants to steal bases a lot of guys who can run don't necessarily want to take the pounding or the risk involved in it but this is a tool he brings and he likes to bring it but there's such a safety valve and a safety net for Aaron when you've got a Wade around there believe me he's one of those guys I was on another club I'd try to figure out a way to get him because you can always find a way to fit him into your club but the Yankees want to get distance from Tyone today they want him to develop into a picture that they can trust but they've also got an off-day tomorrow and because their starters have given them so many innings they have a pretty rested bullpen if you're Aaron Boone in that dugout today how do you balance between wanting to make sure that Tyone goes out there and gives you a representative outing but also knowing you can pick up that phone you've got some big arms out there yeah I think other than relationship and the karma on the club I think one of the managers biggest job is the constant juggling of the bullpen now they don't have enough work now they've got too much work now this and this is with an eight nine man bullpen that they have in today's game but but yeah I think he sit down every day with your pitching people you go okay what need can we serve for a bullpen today if the game allows us this is something we need to get done this is something we need to stay away from and Jack with this off-day tomorrow you got to make your decisions today so yeah there's probably a couple of guys he'd like to get in there today but Tyone they hope makes it tough on him a buck we're gonna see again on the post game we'll let you go for now but free the Basset hounds for now we'll see you in about three hours okay Bobby I'll take care all right you
