Russell Dorsey, National MLB Insider for Yahoo Sports. Oh, he's fine. He doesn't need the attention. Russell will be fine. You're probably right. We're going to have a conversation about some mediums when he gets in here. I tell you that. Host of the Relay with Russ Dorsey podcast. Kikro Armstrong is the hottest player in baseball and has been for the better part of a month and a half. Like, since May, he has been...
A man on a mission. Insider and analyst for MLB Network and Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV. They have guys in that lineup that they expected way more out of. Not a little bit, like a lot more. And so until those guys start swinging the bat, we're just going to be looking at each other like, oh, one run, five, six hits, yeah? Russell Dorsey. What's up, Russell? On 104.3, the score. The score.
We are happy to bring in Russ Dorsey. We know him well. He is, as we said, insider for Apple TV, Yahoo Sports, MLB Network, Friday Night Baseball. The man does it all. He is at Russ underscore Dorsey one. And he's those to the relay with Russ Dorsey podcast available on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. Russ, how are you today? Hello, friends. How are you doing?
Good. Russ is in studio with us here on Rahimi. I made it. I made it. Was it scary? It was scary. But like 1045 to like 1115. Oh, yeah. We were in the performance studio. I heard. Not near windows. I heard. Yeah, I was at the gym during that period. And it went from a light gray to a dark gray to like black and green. When you see black and green, you're like, yeah, let me get to the center of the room away from windows.
Only thing worse than black and green is probably like black and red. Like thinking like stranger things looking. That's probably not good for people who are close to the windows or outside. Yeah, no. The black and green is just like for sure you're in a tornado warning and you're on the lookout. But we made it.
And it's not even raining hard anymore. Mama, we made it. We did. I just talked about Ozzie Guillen's number 13 getting retired on the south side on Saturday. I loved the celebration. I know Paul Canerco spoke. It was great to hear him. That doesn't happen very often. AJ speaking happens a little more often, but he was great as well. What were your takeaways from seeing Ozzie, especially with, you know, I know your family. I know Ricky Dorsey was probably watching the ceremony on Saturday.
What did the hosts say about Ozzie Guillén’s retirement ceremony and his impact on Chicago baseball?
Yeah, I actually got to see my parents this weekend and we talked about it. I think the one thing when thinking about Ozzie as an entity in this city, he is larger than life. Yes, manage the 2005 team that goes on to win a World Series. But when you talk about the personalities in the game of baseball, and I talked about it on the podcast this week. One of one. We don't have managers like that anymore in Major League Baseball. You don't have managers that are going to say, you know what, I'm going to come out here and do this. Look at this hand instead of this hand when my team is struggling so that the pressure and eyes are on me and you're not worried about... This offer that we're on as a ball club, unique, different, funny, could be serious. I think when we think of Ozzie Guillen in this town, you should be thinking of a manager in the pantheon of great managers in this city. And I think when you think of the impact that he had on the organization where...
he can still be on the team's network as an analyst and the reverence that people have for him. It's been over a decade since Ozzy's last manage, and more than that since he's managed in this city. A couple of times every other month, I hear a new Ozzie Guillen story. So that just tells you how players who played for him, people that watched him manage, people that got to know him over the years, you got to know him over the years doing TV stuff. It was an important moment for the White Sox as an organization. Well, I was saying earlier, I started to keep time on the speech. And I'm like, wait a second.
