Appearances

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

5818.815

We joked about it later, like a day later. But then we ended up losing that game. Bad series for us. So nobody was talking about it. And then the next day we all kind of laughed about how I tried to tackle a fly ball and then fell. Fumble recovery in the outfield. Yeah. Yeah.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

5859.691

errors in the outfield are way worse than errors on the infield for whatever reason because anytime you're like backs to the field yeah chasing the ball after oh something bad something really bad has happened that's got to be a very very lonely jog that you have to do when you're like running back to the warning track to get no one yeah that and then when you're just sitting out there afterwards yeah it's like look at you just did you know and you're on the road you're like oh this is a great everyone's having a great time right now this is so much fun

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

5895.861

Yeah. That also doesn't happen all too often. That was the next part that was going to have to happen in that play. I actually caught it. We were going to have to try to throw the guy out at home.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

5907.291

Like, I got to nail this throw. Yeah, we won't make excuses for it. But yeah, I was trying to kind of catch it and throw it all at the same time. We just skipped the first part of that whole equation. Didn't catch it, so we didn't get to throw it.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

5927.279

No, that was not even close to being a hit. That was straight up just topspin, line drive, air ball.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

5941.824

is it better i think it's great because it keeps the game going keeps the game moving we don't there's like a long game now it's three hours right that used to be flying back in the day or if you played in three hours you were super stoked because it was like three and a half four hours right so now like the games move even you know even blowouts even when you're losing by a lot or you're winning by a lot like they still go quick which is which is cool

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

5967.713

Yeah. There was a month. Spring training basically was the adjustment period, and then after spring training, it was fine.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

5980.058

No, I think everyone's pretty used to it now. I think before people would forget about it. And now you see like one or two of those a month, like for both sides, it very rarely happens now, but I think it's been good because it just, you know, keeps the action going, keeps the game moving. There's no minute, like a whole minute in between pitches, you know? So that's good.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6000.131

It's good to get that out of the game. And since there hasn't really been any issues with it either, it's been, it's been something that's been good.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6015.145

Yeah, but I never played in a game with the challenge because it was only at some stadiums. Yeah. It wasn't all of them, and I never made it to any of those stadiums, I guess. So there was never any, like, challenges that we got to do, but – I think that would be the furthest extent that you'd want to see it. I don't want it full. I just don't think it would be good, but that's just my opinion.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6038.03

I think in big spots, if there's an egregious miss or something like that, I think even the umpires would probably want it to be corrected. That way it doesn't impact the game.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6070.536

Yeah. It's like, no, not the time. They measured us for it in spring training. We had to go – like get measured for the electronic zone.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6079.34

Yeah. Like they came to the facility and like, you'd, I don't know what we had to like stand. It was like you take getting your height taken. If you got like the doctor or something like that, the thing that goes on top of your head and then some cameras all around you. And it took like 10 seconds.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6127.504

right around now like if you're still like in the like the hundred like you're for like around a hundred yeah you know but really like the end of may you still have like a whole another month to go before even if you like but even then you still have four months to play so you can still salvage it you know right but yeah it just looks real it just looks ugly yeah you know Yeah.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6148.391

I was flirting with a hundred earlier this year. She's kind of hanging out around there for like a week or so. And it feels like an attorney you've played like seven games. So it's not that big of a deal, but it just feels like forever.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6163.89

No, I think I got one like the second, but then I didn't get like another one for a while after that. So we were one for, we were one for the season for quite some time. Yeah.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6188.33

so when you get on base on april 5th are you doing the math like okay that's one hit so now my average should be 0.92 no because i can't do that i can't do that i can't do that math you just know like some some seasons like you kind of start and it's it's just like you get off to a hot start and you're kind of cruising the whole season you're like that's way better by the way it's

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6210.1

I recommend that one. Other times you get off to a really bad start and you're like, man, here we go, dude. Shovel in a hard hat the rest of the season because you're digging yourself out of this hole for months. But it's how it goes.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6226.75

No. Eat ass? No, no, no, no. Full uni shower every now and then. Full uni shower? Straight uniform, just right into the shower, cleats, everything. Just turn them, you know. Really? Does it work? No. I'm trying to try it.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6262.113

Yeah, I don't think about it that often. I remember thinking about it that year in the middle of September. I was like, man, if I don't mess up these next couple weeks, the rest of your life is pretty cool. But I remember thinking about it like, all right, we've got two weeks of games left. Let's try not to mess this up, you know, because you can go either way.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6282.903

You can get hot for two weeks and then that's what ended up happening and ended up winning. Or you can just, you know, kind of be feeling off up there and going a little bit of a slump. And there goes that.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6292.958

So I was like, well. we'll see how our life is in two weeks and ended up kind of working out and being pretty cool. But I remember actually having that thought, thought one day, like at the stadium, like let's try not to mess this up. Yeah.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6307.534

It's MVP, Christian Yelich. And it's never something that I thought I would do. You know, it was one of those things like,

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6313.559

how it's actually happening right now yeah you don't ever like start playing baseball and be like i'm gonna win the mvp one day you just kind of find yourself in the middle of it and it wasn't something i ever expected especially when i first started in the league like winning an mvp was the farthest thing from my mind so when it kind of shaped up and happened like that i remember you know thinking that it was pretty cool and let's try not to mess this up yeah you almost went back to back yeah if i didn't blow my kneecap up maybe i would had a chance yeah yeah so how are you feeling now

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6342.355

Good. Good. Yeah. Much better than last year after surgery and all that stuff. So we got a new back feeling pretty good. Swing feels good. A new back. Tell me about it. It's just cleaned up. It's just there's, you know, I had to get some stuff taken care of back there and feels a lot better than it had like the last few years. So that's exciting, you know.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6384.326

No, you don't have to. It's more of like a responsibility than anything. Just to make sure you experience everything that Major League Baseball has to offer before you're done. You wouldn't want to not experience something that's as cool as that.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6448.55

The elements have the most effect on the game at this field. We've played a lot of games here too. If the wind's pinned straight in and it's a cold day, you know that there's not going to be a lot of scoring today before the game even starts.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6460.681

And then when you see the flags just pointing straight out with the wind howling, you know that if you just hit anything in the air on the barrel, it's probably going to be a homer.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6476.937

It's not a good feeling either. The outfield's not that fun of a time at Wrigley anyway because the foul lines are right next to the stands. There's no foul territory plus the wind plus the sun. Ivy, the ball goes in. On the wind blowing in days, usually a lot of those games are decided by who messes up in the field. Yeah. You or them, basically.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6497.518

If it's some ball happens, somebody drops one in the wind. You know, those are kind of how those, that's how those games are decided kind of.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6568.755

Just strictly sunflower seeds. Bubblegum? That's a good answer. Just sunflower seeds. That's it.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6586.391

I don't think so. It might have happened to me before, though, when I was a rookie. I don't know if anybody ever lit my foot on fire.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6620.987

Yeah, I'm fine with them. I think it was the most overblown sports story in a long time. I think we had a lot to do with that. We kind of contributed to that.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6632.554

Yeah. And then the bats became a thing. It was just like perfect storm. Yankees in New York, ESPN gave up a lot of runs, a lot of home runs. But Judge hit a lot of those homers too, and he wasn't using one. Right.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6645.562

uh it's just another model bat like everybody all of us use different models you know so it'd just be like a different model that you could bring up there so right you still have to hit the ball you know which is the hardest part yeah and it's just a feel feel and preference thing so some guys are gonna like them some aren't but it definitely didn't it wasn't the reason why they scored i think 40 something runs on us yeah how often do you mess with your bat do you like try out new bats

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6670.057

I never, I've, I've used the same one since I was 18. I grabbed one that I liked early and I've used the same model my entire career. Like never, never switched it up, never changed it. Uh, so I kind of like it because I don't have to think about it ever. It's just one less decision you have to make every day, but it takes a while to find.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6687.972

I kind of got lucky and just found one that I really liked and worked for me. So I haven't changed. And then other guys kind of bounce around just to feel thing.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6699.41

No, it's more so Aaron judges up with the basis loader right now. This is not good. Yeah, that was not good for the boys.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6719.597

Yeah. What was your experience like with Bob? He would have crushed PMT. He would have loved it. This would have been right up his alley.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6726.299

I mean, it was awesome just because the stories that he could tell and like the life he lived was unlike anybody else, you know, and he was around all like some of the best players in the game and he would just go out with these guys. They were all buddies, you know, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, like all these guys just –

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6743.166

hitting the town having a good time before any kind of social media cameras anything so you know he had all those stories there'd be astronauts facetiming him from the space station for his birthday like there's all kinds of just all kinds of wild stuff and like a crazy life and he knew everybody and had a story about everything and anytime you got to hang out with them was was cool because you just listen to him tell stories he's a great storyteller and had an amazing amazing life where he basically did it all you know

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6781.275

Talking about the major league movie. Yeah. Charlie Sheen. Right. Like all kinds of crazy stuff.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6797.869

Yeah. It was very cool. Yeah. I mean, he was a huge part of the Brewers, too. He'd been there forever. He'd hang out in the clubhouse almost every day when we were at home. That's awesome. Just hang out with guys, tell stories, hang out in the kitchen. Just everything. He knew everything about everyone, too, whether he'd been there for 10 years or had just been called up.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6815.596

He knew everything about you and where you're from, what you're doing. Yeah. He had a unique way of connecting with people and making everybody feel like he'd known them their entire life.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6830.425

I don't know. These guys are all pretty cool. Sal, Bryce, Bowers, Reese. Reese is a good clubhouse guy.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6840.653

We have a good clubhouse, so we've had it for a few years. It's a big reason why I think we've been pretty good. We're a pretty tight-knit group. um, we're all pretty similar. I'll get along. Yeah. It's super important though, to have a good clubhouse.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6868.658

no i mean i think we all kind of help each other out with that like when the game starts we're fine and you play a major league baseball game like you're gonna have enough adrenaline and energy to to make sure that you can post that night um so there's there's not really any problem with that but you know the season gets long sometimes and you just have to pick each other up and you know

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6890.552

help each other through the year at different points. But we've done a great job of that. We have a young team, which helps too. All young guys have energy and play the game hard. So everybody else kind of falls in line after that.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6916.488

I don't know. Everybody's so good now. Every pitcher, I think, is the best version that they can be because of all the technology. Whether they're one of the best in the game or they're not, it's still the best version of themselves because of the technology that they have with pitching as far as...

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6934.722

grips and kind of pitches and what kind of pitches you should throw you know as opposed to him like you guys would have different pitches and how to do it and how to use them and these ones are good to this guy and not to this guy there's so much technology now where it never was it wasn't like that 10 years ago guys would just throw shitty pitches and not know that they sucked

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6954.093

They'd get turned around and be like, oh, that's just my curveball. Yeah, I got to stop throwing that one. Throw a curveball, and they won't know if that was good or not.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6969.244

I think guys like – they call it, I think, sweeper now. Yeah. Those have all gotten better just because they've taught them how to throw them and how to use them. Splits, like there's all that stuff. Like they can just tell now – They don't even have to watch the pitch. They can just look at the data from the pitch and tell you if it's good or not and if it's going to play.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

6988.956

So they'll either be like, no, that's not good. You're not allowed to throw that ever again. Or yes, that is good. Use it with this pitch. These are the pitches you're going to throw. This is how you're going to throw them to each hitter.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7001.167

i have not no i've only seen two or two or three at bats is he is he as nasty as he seems yeah he's good just because he's got good stuff but he also knows what he's doing like he knows how to pitch right so that combo is pretty pretty special yeah he's pretty advanced for how young in the game he is um but he's only pitched against us one time yeah we only caught him last year at the end and then

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7024.549

We haven't played the Pirates yet this season. When you DH, do you like that? Is that more fun? I'm learning. It's something they have to learn how to do because it's different. How so? Well, it's just different because you're not going into the field and you're kind of just hanging out and you go hit. So it kind of feels like pinch hitting a lot throughout the game.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7043.394

Early at-bats feel normal, and then the later at-bats feel like you're kind of pinch hitting. Yeah. Tried a bunch of different things. I've stayed in the dugout the whole time. I've walked the halls of the clubhouses. I've gone in the cage a little bit. Go to the weight room. So you kind of just try to find a routine that you like and that you feel good with. Yeah.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7060.09

For me, it's kind of different every day for me, honestly. But I don't mind it. I kind of like it.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7082.003

Yeah. Probably because of the error. Yeah. Yeah. That might be why the error happened. That's what I just said. I was like, I'd probably just leave my glove in this locker right here.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7099.919

It was really bad. It'll be on for sure like stadium bloopers. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's potentially.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7129.176

Preferably, but I think before I'm done playing, I feel like I'm just going to have to do it. You're going to have to do it. Find a close one and just go and then have the L-Star break if you're not in the game.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7143.621

I think I have three more after this one for sure. And then... we'll see after that.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7150.524

Oh, okay. And then one or two, maybe after that one, if everything goes good or feels good, but we'll see. So we got to get this thing. We got to get this thing done soon. Right?

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7173.072

I don't know. I think it depends on the guys you have, but we've got really good young players. Two of them over here. It's been fun to watch them come in the league and learn the league and watch them get better and become full-time major leaguers. I think that's been cool, being able to help guys or talk to guys and see guys' careers progress.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7193.401

It feels weird, though, because I was always the young guy when I was younger, always was the youngest. So now I'm pretty much the oldest, definitely the oldest position player on our team. Yeah. It's a weird feeling and it feels like it flies by. It feels like it goes by fast, right? Like I'm sure it feels like that for you guys too.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7209.051

Like, man, we've been doing this for so long, but it doesn't feel like it, you know? So it's been cool. It's something that I've really enjoyed, but it's also a weird feeling.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7238.143

Ever. And that's tough. It's just... Yeah. It's... It's kind of weird because we just haven't had one in 15 years. You're just doing baseball every day, which is fine. Like you said, it's a good job, but you don't get to do all the summer things with everybody else. Like no 4th of July is no, you're not doing anything, you know, but, um, could be worse.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7269.452

No, not right now. I think maybe in, like, my last year they might let me do something like that.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7276.814

But it's not something that, like, I don't really want to, like, lob a ball at a guy and just stand there 60 feet away. Yeah.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7285.776

I think Bowers has done it for – I mean, he was leading the league in innings pitched at the beginning of the season.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7292.898

He had one of the most, like, appearances by relievers. With CRAs. Zero. Oh, wow. That's huge. He was cutting everybody up. The game that Judge hit three homers, Bowers got him out. He flew out to the track.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7319.608

You can't be good at all of them. Do you guys find the ones that you're good at and just being like, look at this? I don't even look at them because they change every day. I don't even know what half of them mean, to be honest with you.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7334.713

I just know the standard ones. Hits, RBIs, homers, OPS, all that stuff. Yeah, but how do you get war?

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7343.839

I don't know how you get. Let me see what your war is. I mean, missing fly balls in the outfield. I bet you that doesn't help your war.

Pardon My Take

right yeah i think i mean what travis hunter does is pretty impressive too like playing both sides in a football game but shohei's maybe he's definitely one of the best pitchers in the game when he's pitching and then he might be the best hitter when he's hitting right you know so that combo and then he's one of the fastest players too so he can really do everything the best yeah which is super rare not that travis hunter can't do either of those but i don't know you don't know

Pardon My Take

7436.41

Yeah. It's a game, really. Stealing bases is a game. You got to pick your spots. You're kind of. pretending that you're not going to, then you're going to. Some guys you can, some guys you can't. It's a little bit of an art, you know, and it's something that takes time to learn. Right. I learned a lot when I came to the Brewers as far as, you know, stolen bases.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7458.447

They were always pretty good at it and had good people teaching it. You know, it's actually with the Cubs now, Quentin Berry, Q. Oh. He's the third base coach for the Cubs.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7471.599

Yeah, all of us do. That's kind of how our team plays, like wild. We're just trying to cause chaos the whole game. So we're kind of fun to watch. You don't really know what's going to happen because we don't know what's going to happen.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7509.112

No, I haven't. No, we've had it happen though before. Yeah. How hard do you have to work to get the green light back? Usually get it back. You just give it like, they'll give you an explanation about like, all right, can't be doing that.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7528.199

there's really no getting out of a rundown in the big leagues anymore. Yeah. I run down just like one throw and you're done.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7538.506

Best bets to hope somebody gets like lazy on the throw and you can like bump into them. Yeah.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7553.939

There's no more unwritten rules in baseball. There used to be all the time. Yeah. I don't know. What's a good one?

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7565.809

Yeah, and a no-hitter. Yeah. Or a perfect game. That one's tough. That one you have to be careful of because it's like... But then if it's 1-0 or 0-0, you're winning the game. I feel like you can still bunt then if it's 0-0 or just because you haven't gotten a hit yet, you need to win. Have you been part of a no-hitter or a perfect game?

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7587.001

I've been a part of a bunch of no-hitters, good side and bad side. How so good side? I think like three or four.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7599.994

You're like, this is happening. After the seventh inning, it starts to get pretty real. Yeah. Both sides. If you're getting no-hit or you're the team with the no-hitter, I think after the seventh.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7634.703

Get it any way possible. You don't want to go down in history? No. Yeah, I think I've been on the wrong side of two no-hitters, and then I think good side of like three or four.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7658.633

Yeah, you shouldn't. You shouldn't steal a base. You shouldn't steal a base. You shouldn't. But that's tricky, too, is because, like, the other team's still trying, you know? Yeah. So it's like you're not allowed to try to win the game anymore, but you can give them a chance to catch up, you know?

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7674.902

You have to be, you know? Now, like, when I first came up, it was something that was, like, they kind of everybody looked at it as, like, earned. Like, you had to earn the right to do that. Now you can hit your first homer and throw it 12 rows into the stand. Yeah, that's true. Post how cool it is.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7745.79

That is a good point. Because now anytime the ball hits the dirt or is put in play, as soon as the play is kind of done, like when we're running, they do throw the ball out and put a new one. So it's different. It is kind of hard to do it. You would have to have mound visit in play.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7796.596

Yeah. That's how you have to do it. Yeah. I've seen that happen before. Somebody's done that before. Okay.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7839.503

That used to happen a little bit when pitchers were still hitting. Yeah. The right fielder was so close that they'd hit like a one-hop line drive and get gunned down. That's the worst. Yeah. Yeah.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7855.218

I thought it was like cod or something like Sean Casey. I think so. Yeah. Let's see. That's bad. Yeah.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7925.526

it yeah i don't really tell anyone i don't tell you don't say that it's like your icebreaker hey guys guess what guy gets called up and you're like hey i'm christian and if i ever win the home run derby these two podcasters have to eat each other's right yeah usually not the first not the first conversation but yeah they all kind of found out about it everybody thought it was hilarious i get yelled at to do the derby every night that we play which is also pretty funny

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7948.975

And then every time I do hit a homer, I do know that you guys get tagged all the time, as you should. It should happen all the time.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7962.7

You can enter with any, though, because you could technically have seven and be in the derby if they let you.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7971.85

I would do it with whatever. I'd do it with zero homers on the season. That would be mean if you did that.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7991.198

Just fucking do it. You could do it like four times. It's not a one and done thing.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

7999.381

no yeah that wasn't what you said you said if you ever win one i mean that could be in like 20 years it could be like a you know an old-timer's home run derby it will probably end the podcast so just so you know the blood would be on your hands no it would be over it would be pretty funny i mean we're gonna probably it's each round that goes by would be more and more electric

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8034.99

Neither's good. The derby is hard. It's exhausting. Yeah. You don't want that. It's hard to do. You'd be exhausted. You might ruin your swing. That's why I was DHing, man. You get a lot of extra energy now.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8050.436

BP in the game is different, though. BP, you can get on a little bit of a run. There's some days when you're taking BP that you get on a little bit of a run, and it's just like that day, you're just hitting everything. That's the kind of day we would need. So you don't really know how it is until you get out there. If you got locked in and got on a roll, then you're in trouble.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8076.75

I would have to. You guys would have to go, or you'd have to watch it with everybody else. I think that's what you were going to do last time, right?

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8144.757

You guys showed me a screenshot, but I hadn't seen it since then, like since it first started, which I don't even remember what year that was anymore.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8170.211

I want to say it was like 2015. He wants to say. He wants to say. 2015-ish. Yeah. Which is like, we're going on a solid 10 years now, but we didn't know each other that good then. Yeah. Now we know each other. I feel like I've got to be like one of your guys' most frequent guests.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8183.664

You and Dan Heron. Like five or something, right? Yeah. Yeah. It's always a good time. Always a good time. I feel like it has to happen because- The best part about it would be, like, I would for sure be thinking about this derby.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8201.654

I would be focused during it while I was hitting, but, like, in between. Like, if you were going into the finals, like, you're waiting for the finals to start in the derby, like, how could you not think about it?

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8215.385

For sure. I would maybe – If you were the guy that went second in the finals and you were like a couple away from winning with like a minute and a half left, I would have to call time because I would be laughing so hard about it.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8232.795

But just that image of being able to call time with like a minute left. And just looking over at us. Just needing like two more homers. Watching you guys just be devastated over there on the field. With your camcorder, of course.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8266.335

I want an MVP, but I think this would be pretty even with that, I think. Oh, man. It would be pretty even with that because 2019 was about to be pretty – that was your best shot, actually, because I might have lost because Vladdy hit like 30 that year. Yeah. And that's who I was supposed to go up against, and he hit like 30 in the first round.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8284.083

But I might have lost. I probably would have got bounced in the first round because 30 is a lot.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8308.142

Well, some feel better than others, but yeah, when you really get one, it still feels cool.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8319.994

Yeah, you don't feel anything. Right. You don't feel the ball off the bat. That's got to be the best. It's loud. It sounds loud. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty sweet. It never gets old.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8383.813

I think if you, that's all-star game MVP. Oh, yeah. Did you get anything for being MVP? No, they give you a plaque. No car? It's like a circle. No. It's like a circle with your name on it. It says MVP.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8415.876

Yeah, and it's just regular season games, though, so no playoff games or anything like that. Or I don't even know if opening day or playoffs. But then the rest of the games, yeah, apparently I've never obviously tried it yet. Well, let me have it. I'll try it.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8427.003

Yeah, it's just a gold card with your name. It says MLB Lifetime Pass on it, your name. That's awesome. That's pretty cool.

Pardon My Take

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

8434.727

Yeah, it's a gold. Basically like a gold credit card looking thing. That's pretty sick.
