Why is George Springer being called “Captain Canada” after his Canada Day performance?
All right, Kevin Barker. Well, um Around these parts. Al Alejandro Kirk is referred to as Captain Kirk. But I think after today w we oughta start calling George Springer Captain Canada. Quote you, that Grand Slam on Canada Day, big crowd, the Yankees, lots of folks watching on TV, lots of beer being consumed in the patio. I wish I was there. That was freaking badass by George Spring.
Absolutely. I mean, this is the best he's looked in a long time, right? Even when he's having good years, ready to hit the fastball. Uh, you know, he's got good posture. Uh whenever he's sort of getting in those leverage counts and can zone a guy in, right? I mean, you look at the good the home runs he hit, right? It was the it was the good one sweeper that he had a good swing on in his first homer that allowed him to to be on time against the breaking ball. It was before the Graham Slam, it was the one one One change up that he took instead of getting to one two if he swung at the change up. Now it's two one. That's called count leverage. When you have a guy that's red hot like George Springer, it's all about count leverage against good pitching.
When you get in it, you can educate guests. It gives you a better chance of guessing and allow them to throw it right down the middle. What do I always say, Jeff? You gotta let 'em. When you let 'em, you can do things like that. That was a lot of fun to watch.
Twelve five, the Blue Jays. They steamrolled the New York Yankees. Uh they've taken the first two games of this four game series. Folks, they are one game back. Of the New York Yankees who are sitting atop the division lead. Not that it matters on July first. Absolutely. Well, actually, yeah, it does. I'm just kidding. So here's what's going to happen here. Uh we're on TV up until about six fifty-seven. Then we're going to be radio only. So we're going to throw out our radio numbers for those of you who want to call in four one six-eight seven zero zero five ninety-star five ninety. One triple eight, triple six, zero five ninety, five ninety, five ninety. As I said last night, you're gonna be stuck in traffic anyhow.
So if you're uh listening to us coming home. Feel free to uh drop us a line. Yep. Um we were not down at the stadium today, but I know when we were there last night, that to me was a playoff atmosphere. And It sure it sure felt coming through the T V today, um, that this was There was a little extra here about this game. There there really was.
You think so? Uh yeah. Look, uh you know, I like to joke about what John says all the time, nine against one. I think it was twenty-seven against one the last two days. You wanna know why I say that? Anytime Judge comes to town, there's gotta be a grown-up in the room. You see John's not afraid to walk that team.
Thirteen intentional walks from John Schneider in thirty seven games. As the matter As the manager of the Yankees, uh uh the Blue Jays against Aaron Judge. Nobody in baseball, right, has intentionally walked Aaron Judge as much as John Schneider. Now Aaron Judge was on base a lot today, but you know what he didn't do, folks? Driving around. Really didn't come through with that big killing Aaron Judge hit.
Yeah, well you don't let him, right? I mean I'm surprised that other managers are you know, are not doing this. John's not afraid, right nobody out a guy on first. I don't care. I'm taking my chances to everybody else. If I walk away losing to the Yankees, it ain't cause that dude is hitting balls to the moon. Twenty seven against one, I'll continue to say it.
Seven RBI for George Springer today. Andres Jimenez, I don't want this to get lost, uh, by any stretch of the imagination as we await to hear from John Schneider. I don't want th this to get lost by any stretch of the imagination. A three run homer for Andres Jimenez, single, he walked. He looks a little different at the play, Kevin. I know uh Danny and and and Joe talked about it. You saw something else as well uh with Andres Jimenez in the past couple of games.
Yeah, well I said this about a week ago. You need to stop doing the scissor thing.
