 cocaine David Jones well thank you Bob well it took about four hours but it was fun yeah he's more the merrier it's opening day why not you know we waited a day because of the rain out so yeah why not let's stay here 99 days of a lockout everybody was hungering for baseball and they got 11 innings of it today and a comfort behind victory for the Yankees and things didn't look good right away Garrett Cole seemed like he was taken aback a little bit by the opening day ceremonies that didn't come out in a rhythm yeah he was obviously anxious his rhythm was way off in the first inning walked the first batter on four pitches and just took him about three or four hitters to kind of get settled in and give up three in the first and from that point that was all they got though and he progressively got better even though he only went four innings big home run by Anthony Rizzo I thought that changed the entire tenor of the crowd because after the home run by Devers and then the third run on the JD Martinez it it just felt like the crowd got unplugged but when Rizzo hit that two home run two run home run in the bottom of the first inning it was back again well that was huge you got the crowd back into it and the look that Rizzo put into the dugout after that two run shot really set a lot it's like we're gonna punch back today we're not gonna allow this to happen and that did get him right back in the game and gave him some hope and is in his interview on the field Josh Donaldson said to Meredith Marokovits we never thought obviously well this is over because they kept battling back so once it became 3-3 on the the Stanton home run well then it was 4-3 Red Sox and then it was time for DJ Lameo to deliver a big time home run it was it was the turning point in the game and DJ Lameo just came at a spot when it looked like it was a little bit dead Garrett Whitlock was dominating the game at that point he's got great stuff he was a breakout reliever last year it looked like he was stretched out he might even finish this game with a one-run lead and DJ shot him to right it was a porch job in Yankee Stadium but from last year to this year for DJ Lameo to get healthy again start to drive the ball again it was a big home run and he showed a lot of emotion to did DJ that we don't see all that often I'll tell you one thing I've always said that live sports is the greatest reality show in the world I mean you could have shows like Survivor but that's not real this is real and they said so many different story lines so the Yankees were down to their final out again and had a chance to be a tough loss for them but Glaber tour is the guy who was not starting today who had to be told by Aaron Boone yesterday you're not in the lineup he pinched it and got a big sack fly yeah you talk about a happy ending for you know you know that he was down not starting you know Glaber's a proud kid he's had a lot of success in this game already at a young age to see his name not in the lineup you know was a blow but Aaron Boone took the opportunity at the right time to get him in there get him feeling good about himself and then also you know unsung hero Michael King gotta throw some shout out to him his stuff was absolutely filthy today he's gonna be a big part of this this Yankee team and that bullpen down there a real bright spot today was Michael King and on the big hit that won it a couple of new Yankees Isaiah kind of fell effort scored he was the ghost runner he scored the run when Josh Donaldson got the hit and for Donaldson his first game is the Yankee the big trade the big acquisition by the Yankees during the offseason 36 year old former MVP winner in the American League in 2015 he delivered the goods two hits and six at bats but the last hit was the big one it was a big one and if he had he not been batting on the leadoff hole he wouldn't have that opportunity so I think he's gonna grow into it he's never batted leadoff when he was asked the question by Meredith Morakovitz he's like I'll do whatever the team needs but you can tell that he was a little uncomfortable with it well maybe he will get comfortable in that leadoff hole and boy that's that's something when you can when you can be a leadoff hitter in this lineup and still come up in big spots and in big RBI situations and finally the Yankees have raised some eyebrows obviously when they decided to carry 16 pitchers and 12 position players and they needed those pitchers today eight of them the starter and then seven out of the bullpen and David mentioned Michael King with two strong innings to pick up the win and the Yankees win on opening day what a better way to start a season and especially when you do it against your arch rivals Bob Michael Coney thank you for that
