We have an Aaron Judge ‘cheating scandal’ on our hands. Judge was seen glancing at the Yankees dugout just before he hit a 467 foot HR. There was some type of information being relayed to Judge from the dugout. Judge’s explanation that he heard some players ‘chirping’ doesn’t seem legit. Now, if the pitcher was just tipping pitches and players were relaying that to him, that’s fine. The only way it would be cheating would be if he was somehow using the pitchcom to know what pitch was coming. When he rounded first base after the second HR he pointed into the dugout. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with audio of Aaron Boone getting thrown out of the game because of low strike calls on Judge. Then Judge blasts his second HR of the game. We heard from Judge as to why he was looking into the dugout before the HR. Boone also explained why he thought Judge was looking into the dugout. The Blue Jays Manager said he saw it and it was ‘kind of odd’. The Mets lost to the Nationals and Francisco Alvarez was picked off first base with the bases loaded and two outs. Brandon Nimmo doesn’t know why the Mets are so inconsistent. Shohei Ohtani just missed hitting for the cycle again. The Stars beat the Kraken 2-1 to advance. In the final segment of the hour, we took calls on Judge and whether he was cheating or not stealing signals.
Will this Aaron Judge story have legs nationally? Gio doesn’t think Aaron Judge and the Yankees were cheating. They took advantage of something they saw that the pitcher was doing. Callers continue with their odd theories on what he was doing and what he was looking at. Jerry returns for an update and starts with audio from the Blue Jays play-by-play guys who see Judge looking at the dugout. Jerry also has audio of Judge talking to a reporter about him looking into the dugout. The Mets lost to the Nationals and Francisco Alvarez was picked off first with the bases loaded and two outs. Buck Showalter talked about that. Brandon Nimmo talked about grinding until you find it. Shohei Ohtani was a hit away from the cycle once again last night but he got another single instead of a double. CBS hired Matt Ryan as an analyst and in-studio host. Al called him, ‘generic, boring guy’. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer said he can’t remember a time when every AFC team had their QB locked in like they do right now. We also talked about Mac Jones having a douchiness about him. Peacock Network will have an exclusive NFL Wild Card game this year. Craig Carton seems to be in some sort of battle with wrestler Matt Cardona.
Rob Saleh is a players coach and will rarely call them out. But these guys cannot stay off social media. Quinnen Williams scrubbed the Jets off his social media and Sauce Gardner was tweeting about Ja Morant and his gun. The Jets need a social media policy. Boomer said Williams will get his contract so it doesn’t make sense to act out now. Maybe the Jets are worried about his commitment. Gio said the Jets lead the league in ‘Twitter dumbness’ and he blames the coach. Jerry returns for an update but first Gio said Marco Balletti did a great job hosting overnight. Jerry has audio from last night’s Yankees win over the Blue Jays. Aaron Judge hit 2 HRs. There was controversy surrounding Judge glancing into the dugout before hitting the HR. The Mets lost 10-3 to the Nationals. Joe Douglas talked about Zach Wilson & Aaron Rodgers working together on the field. Brandon Marshall wants to play with the Jets now that Rodgers is there. Boomer wants the Nets to get Ja Morant. In the final segment of the hour, Gio is going to jump into the ocean at our kickoff to summer. The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has Martha Stewart on one of the covers. There is also a trans singer from Germany on one of the covers. And Megan Fox. Gio wonders if at some point they will put a dead person on the cover.
Gio is really getting into golf these days. Boomer said it’s going to take away from his boating time. We talked about getting gelato in Bradley Beach. Boomer has Gio act as Aaron Judge at bat, moving his eyes to see what he can see. Callers have theories on what Judge was looking at. Jerry returns for an update but first Boomer said the Blue Jays have to throw one at Aaron Judge tonight. Jerry has audio of Aaron Boone getting tossed from last night’s game for arguing strikes on Judge. After that, Judge drilled his second HR of the game. Justin Verlander makes his Citi Field debut against the Nationals. Shohei Ohtani just missed hitting for the cycle, which happened earlier in the season. In the final segment of the hour, Gio said downtown Rochester in the winter is a disaster. Long Island and NJ golf courses have fescue. Al doesn’t know what that means.
