What is the significance of the Yeshiva-Lehman baseball game?

Dan Le Batard 0:50
Eager to get to Juju Gotti and what he has to say about today's show. But before we do this, I've been negligent today in not talking about two giant losers in college baseball. We have two losing streaks that are colliding in minutes here in an epic baseball game. Yeshiva has a 99 game losing streak. that dates back to 2022, and they're facing Lehman.

Why are Yeshiva and Lehman considered 'loser teams'?

Dan Le Batard 1:16
Lehman has lost 42 straight games since 2023. Now, unfortunately, Lehman is 17 and 0 all time versus Yeshiva, and they average 15 runs a game. So Yeshiva seems to be a special kind of terrible. We bring in our loser correspondent, Jeremy, and I say that in the most loving fashion. to give us an update on this, a preview, a rare preview from us on this baseball game. What do you have?
Jeremy 1:43
Special expertise as a loser and a Jew with Yeshiva University.
Dan Le Batard 1:47
You're perfect.
Jeremy 1:48
And I can bring you expertise on all of this. This is great, right? Because these are a bunch of guys. It's actually the opposite of great. It's the opposite. What makes it great as a story is that these are a bunch of guys who just play for the love of the game. There's no like road to Omaha. There is not some special prize at the end of their college athletic career. It's just, I want to, it's exactly right. Guys who just love the sport and are there to continue to do it because these teams, these colleges are truly and utterly dreadful. You can watch it on laymanathletics.com, the first game of a doubleheader Starts it at 155.

What are the challenges faced by the Yeshiva baseball team?

Jeremy 2:28
So this is great because theoretically, Yeshiva could extend their losing streak to 100 and then snap it later in the day by splitting the doubleheader with Lehman. But of course, Dan, you were wondering what conference are these teams in? And that's what's really important here. Of course, Lehman is in the CUNYAC. I believe that's pronounced CUNYAC conference. And of course, Yeshiva is in the Skyline conference. More competitive, thus why they have a 99-game losing streak. But there's some fun facts here.

Who are the key figures in Yeshiva's baseball program?

Contributor 2:55
When you've lost 99 in a row, you just go for that 100. Yeah, you have to. You don't win that 100th game.
Jeremy 3:00
But then you can snap it later in the evening, which is perfect. So they don't play on Saturday, obviously, because of Shabbat, which is why you have a Tuesday doubleheader here. This is my favorite. I read the bio of their head coach, Jeremy Renna. Jeremy Renna is a full-time retail senior executive and consultant, adjunct professor, high school baseball coach, investor, and executive mentor. He's currently the head coach of Yeshiva Baseball, bringing a strong sense of positive team building, clear accountability standards within the framework of Jewish Tenets. It's amazing that everyone involved in this knows We're on the worst team in college athletics of any kind. And yet we're going to keep going out there and get our asses kicked game after game.
Jeremy 3:45
Dan, the lowest single ERA by any player in Yeshiva University history. 5.36. I think I was recruited by Lehman.
Billy 3:55
It seems like this manager is quite distracted. And if you would just focus on one team and one thing, maybe there'd be different results.
Jeremy 4:03
I just like looking at the difference in the rosters, Dan. If I read some names to you, I'm going to read some names to the group from one team and then the other. And you guys tell me which team you think...
