So the United States ultimately prevailed over the Dominican Republic last night in Miami, 2-1 to reach the WBC championship game.
But there were electric moments on both sides in this one, including Aaron Judge at the plate, top half of the fifth. High drive, center field. Rodriguez going back. Did he get enough? He did not! Because Julio scaled the wall! Joe Davis all over at FS1. You hear the excitement in the crowd there. Julio Rodriguez robbing Judge of a potential home run or extra base hit at minimum.
Kept it at 2-1, and the DR did have their chances. Multiple base runners in the 4th and 5th, then again in the 7th and the 9th. Couldn't push any of them across. Well, just the one base runner in the 9th, but it was the potential tying run as Mason Miller struck out Geraldo Perdomo looking to end the game. A 3-2 pitch that certainly looked to be low and well out of the strike zone, but the U.S.
got the call. and the win, so they await the winner of tonight's semifinal matchup between Italy and Venezuela, after Italy knocked off Puerto Rico Saturday, and Venezuela came from behind to defeat the defending champ, Japan. So I want to go back to the Aaron Judge post-game quote, comparing the WBC to the World Series.
So we played the audio in hour one, and I had said at the time, not the best quality. Interesting, you told me you heard it clear on FM. I thought it sounded actually pretty good on the car. Because Evan Roberts just told me, listening on the Odyssey app, he couldn't make out a
word i tom because listening driving in he said they were looking for the audio and he kept reading the quote right and then as right before i got to the holland tunnel he's like we got it yes and he's like it might not be too clear i'm like that's actually pretty good all right so just a quick sampling to remind everybody of uh trying to make out the words from judge here
Okay, so short clip, fine. So Cap out in the newsroom takes the full clip that I ran in hour number one. Puts it through AI for background noise reduction. Wow. All right. And here's what it came back with. Now, I would say, having heard Aaron Judge, you can hear like it's a little altered. Okay. But it's pretty damn close and crystal clear.

Chapter 2: What were the highlights of Team USA's victory over the Dominican Republic?
You feel like a kid again. You feel like the kid laying out your jersey before you go to your first All-Star game or something like that. It's just been a special moment. That's quite the image in the hotel room. I'm not saying he did this. He's comparing it. In terms of his USA teammates all coming together, putting everything else aside, at least for this short period of time here.
I think the coolest thing is being a part of this. Every single guy in this room has been the best at their craft. just seeing how much they want to win, how much they check their egos at the door. It doesn't matter if there's MVPs, Cy Young winners, All-Stars.
Each guy checked their ego at the door and stepped in here and threw on the USA and, you know, they're representing their country the right way. So it's been an absolute blast. Do me a favor. Just because he was at the game, I just want to get his feel for it. Justin in Miami. Good morning. How are you? Wow, Justin. Hello. Yo, Justin. How are you doing? Hey, guys. How are you? Good.
How are you doing? I live in Miami. I was at the game last night. Absolutely agree with Aaron Judge. It was electric. Probably one of the best sporting events I've been to. Completely shocked. There was 80% DR, 20% U.S. It was that much, huh? That much. But, man, the crowd was electric. Everyone was on board. I mean, I've gone to the Orange Bowls. I've gone to college football playoffs.
It's up there for one of the most fun sports events I've ever been to. That's the first one you've been to, WBC Games? Yes. Yeah, this was the first one I've been to. And, you know, just to give you a price, no one goes to the Marlins game, right? You know, I'm a Yankees fan. So we sat five rows behind first baseline. If you go to a Marlins game, that ticket's maybe $50. This was about $400.
But not terrible. When did you buy the ticket, though, Justin? When did you get your hands on those tickets? I got it yesterday. Oh, wow. Not bad. You know what, Justin? I appreciate the call. That's great insight. I say it's not terrible because the tickets for the World Cup are $3,000, $4,000, correct? Through the roof.
Again, I go back to the Dominican Republic and how the team is responding to playing in these games. and how much fun it seems like their locker room has had, their dugout has had. They've steamrolled everybody pretty much. And they finally ran into a team that was as good as they were. Think about the letdown.

Chapter 3: How did Aaron Judge compare the WBC atmosphere to the World Series?
I know Manny Machado was talking about wanting to have noisemakers in Major League Baseball stadiums to try and make it a little bit more electric, if you will. But a lot of these teams will go for opening day, and it's going to be packed. And then game two, there'll be 5,000. Think about the comedown that they're going to have next week.
So if this would have been Japan winning on the other side and America or the Dominican on this side and then the championship game, Japan, the defending champion were in it, I think it would have been a hell of a lot bigger.
I think maybe if Venezuela wins, I could see it being a little bit more of that kind of atmosphere, an intense atmosphere and everything with all the celebrating that goes on. Again, I... I give all the credit to the Dominican Republic and their team because they're the ones to me that I think has really just ramped this whole thing up. Tone setters.
Yeah, if you want to call them that, that's fine. But I also think it comes off the Olympics, too, so that helps as well. 100%. It's Toyota Truck Month.

Let me give you some Rick Pitino. St. John's will go into the NCAA tournament as a five-seat in the East region. They get Northern Iowa Friday night in San Diego.
This was actually Pitino following Saturday night's romp of UConn Big East Championship game. Someone sent you this clip. I assume this is some sort of private party with some boosters or some fans or whatnot as he gets up there to deliver a message to them. The greatest thing about any accomplishment...
is you share things with your family, you share things with your friends, and you share things with the people who made it possible. And that's all of you, because without your support, the adrenaline wouldn't have been there tonight for those three games that we played. And we're the first team in the glorious history of St. John's in the history to win back-to-back regular games.
So you can barely get the words out. Crowd goes nuts. And then he's kind of like, okay, I got one more thing to say here before he kind of walked off. I expect everybody here, you don't go to bed until summer. So the room obviously liked that as they were getting ready to eat and drink and have a grand old time. So good for them. You know what's amazing to me?

Chapter 4: How did the crowd react during the WBC game in Miami?
Well, we were talking basketball, but you know. But that was before the Cordell Stewart years, right? If you said what year did you say? 91. Oh, yeah, definitely. I would think, right? No, I think he was there right there. Oh, true, because he kind of hit it big with the Steelers around 95. Yeah, so I think he was there. And, you know, Vance Joseph was his backup quarterback.
We brought Vance Joseph to the Jets. I don't know if he was an undrafted free agent or drafted. And we put him as the backup quarterback to Cordell Stewart at Colorado and became a defensive back for us. And we played a Thursday night game on TNT against the Raiders. And Richie Kotite and the coaching staff decided, hey, let's put him on Tim Brown. Tim Brown had like 215 yards and 15 catches.
I thought you said the NFL on TNT. TNT, yeah. I think it was. No, I think you're right. I think you're right. I want to say it was 1995. It was like the fifth or sixth game of the season. And all I saw was Jeff Hostetler hoisting the ball. Poor Vance Joseph. And you would have been working those games, right? I was on the field. Yeah.
Cordell Stewart's years where he played mostly Colorado, a little 92, and then 93, 94. I don't know if that helps at all. Who was their quarterback then? What, 1991? Is that what you're asking? Colorado? Let's see. He's a guy whose name's not even in the Colorado. They put up Shador Sanders' name. Darian Hagan? Sounds right. He had 170 attempts. Vance Joseph in 1991 had 37 attempts.
They were running the rock quite a bit. That's what it looks like. Anyway, Knicks win. What else? We talked a little about Francisco Lindor making his Grave Fruit League debut for the Mets yesterday. One for three with a run scored. Luis Gil had a rough day for the Yankees. Spring training. I'm going to get crazy. I know. I know. I know. You know.
Nine hits, seven runs, three homers is not exactly what you're looking for. No. So hopefully he gets it ironed out, you know? He'll be fine. Yeah.

Chapter 5: How does the pricing of WBC tickets compare to other major sporting events?
He'll be all right. All right, Chris, we'll see you next hour. Thank you very much. When we come back, me, a golf club, and four geese. We'll see. We'll tell you how that went. And also a couple of calls, at least on St. John's, because I see a lot of people are starting to wake up and pissed off about where they're at in the NCAA tournament. It's Toyota Truck Month.
