With their signature blend of wit, insider perspective, and a touch of playful exasperation, Don, Hahn, and Rosenberg unpack the implications, fan reactions, and broader sports culture narratives emanating from these stories.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Yankees & Mets Season Preview

(00:34 – 03:37)

• Yankees:
  • Early optimism around Cam Schlitler and Freed, with the hope that a healthy pitching staff could make this season “different than last year.”
  • The critical role of Radon and Gerrit Cole’s eventual return.
• Mets:
  • Big offensive debut; noticeable change in approach under GM David Stearns.
  • Discussion of new acquisitions (Bo Bichette, Corey Seager, Luis Robert), moving on from franchise staples (Jeff McNeil, Pete Alonso), and buy-in to a “pass-the-baton” offense.
  • Acknowledgement that it’s just one game, but the changed mentality was clear.

2. Tiger Woods Arrested for DUI

(03:37 – 18:54)

Breaking News

• Reported by golf.com and quickly picked up by other sources, including Adam Schefter and TMZ.
• Details:
  • Tiger Woods arrested for DUI at 2:00 PM in Florida.
  • Involved in a two-car accident; his car was upside down but he appeared uninjured.
  • Charged with DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to a urine test (he did comply with a breathalyzer).

Hosts Reactions & Analysis

• Peter Rosenberg (04:05):
  • “Good news that he wasn’t injured, but... bad news that this guy’s obviously... not doing middle of the day, by the way, which… that’s 2:00 p.m.”
• Discussion of severity:
  • Driving under the influence is bad, but midday and resulting in a flip is “a sign that things are bad in the world.” (Don, 04:21)
  • Reflection on what this means for Tiger at a personal crossroads, possibly unable to adjust to post-glory life.
• Refusal to Submit:
  • Likely points to alcohol being the substance in question, as refusing a breathalyzer or urine test is telling. (Peter, 09:48 & Alan, 12:18)
  • Speculation on whether drugs (prescription or otherwise) could be a factor; hosts careful not to jump to conclusions.

Broader Themes

• Recurrence:
  • Reference to Tiger’s history with car accidents and the mix of sympathy and exasperation from the hosts.
  • “When you’re making decisions, guys like this, this is not a sane mind... This is a guy who has issues and is trying to cover them from people...” (Don, 16:54)
• Privilege & Responsibility:
  • Questioning why a billionaire like Tiger wouldn’t simply hire a driver—“You could do that for under a million dollars a year... get in and out of cars whenever you want.” (Don, 15:49)
  • Rosenberg laments: “I do not understand these filthy stinking rich people who think it's okay to get behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated. You have so much to lose...” (11:30)
• Potential Consequences:
  • Relief expressed that no one, including Tiger, was seriously hurt—“we’re very fortunate that he didn’t kill somebody today or paralyze somebody... because of his poor decision making.” (Peter, 18:21)
• Addiction & Rationalization:
  • Don makes a forceful statement on addiction: “We are sitting here trying to rationalize with intelligence something that cannot be rationalized because addiction cannot be rationalized...” (16:54)

Notable Quotes

• Alan Hahn (06:35): “Did you ever think…you would ever use the words…‘The President is reporting that he will not [play at the Masters].’”
• Don La Greca (16:54): “This is not a sane mind making decisions. This is a guy who has issues and is trying to cover them from people. And when you’re doing that…to get the driver, you know what, that acknowledges that you need help.”

3. Yankees’ Aaron Judge—Early Season Scrutiny

(21:09 – 36:19)

Judge’s Slump & Fan Reactions

• Alan Hahn (21:09):
  • “Aaron Judge is already 0 for 2. Oh my God. Right? He already has a strikeout as well after over five or four strikeouts in the opening game. That's a rough start to the season, fellas, for Aaron Judge.”
• Peter Rosenberg (22:12):
  • “Interesting that one of the best players on the planet would be 0 for 7 with five strikeouts… but your team hasn’t given up a run.”
  • Expresses frustration over fans panicking this early or reading too much into tiny samples.
• Don La Greca (23:49):
  • “Very much the thing. It just is.” On fan complaints about Judge even after big seasons.
• Hosts agree it’s a “vocal minority” of Yankee fans, not rivals, who amplify every Judge failure.
• Reference to Judge’s past slow starts and how quickly things can turn (“by the time he gets to June 1st, he’s batting 287…” Don, 25:32).

“Instant Gratification” Problem

• Hosts bemoan the impatience and drama addiction of sports fandom today, tying it to the “need to inject drama” through social media, hot takes, and non-stop content. This is reinforced by the observation that fans can’t just enjoy a good game, even if it’s low scoring or if a superstar is struggling early.

---

4. Modern Sports Culture: The Impatience of Fandom

(41:10 – 45:43)

Instant Gratification & Social Media

• Alan Hahn’s Theory (41:12):
  • Argues that social media, reels, and the constant bombardment of “magic moments” condition fans to expect instant results and amplify frustration when sports don’t match those rhythms:
  • “Because something has now been programmed into us because of this phone and all the things that come on it that make it easy for us to get the instant gratification out of sports that watching sports becomes more frustrating. Because what you don't realize is that sports isn't instant gratification, it's work."
• Peter Rosenberg (42:39):
  • Draws parallel to music consumption: “There was a time growing up…where there’d be a new song coming out, and you turn on the radio, and it would be like a gift from God that the song that you were waiting for would come up. …Now, as you said, we live in that instant gratification…”

Broader Reflection

• All three hosts agree—modern fans have less patience because everything else in life is “on demand.”
• Don La Greca (44:30): “They don’t know what love is. Because the things that you truly are worth waiting for... that satisfaction… you waited it out… but now it’s like, ‘oh, Judge is good? I’ve had to sit through two games and the guy hasn’t done anything. He’s a bum.’”

5. Around New York Sports & Upcoming Events

(39:22 – 40:49)

• Quick notes on Rangers-Blackhawks, St. John’s vs. Duke in the NCAA tournament, and plug for the FDNY vs NYPD Heroes hockey game.
• Schlitler’s dominant debut highlighted again.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Peter Rosenberg (11:30): “I do not understand these filthy stinking rich people who think it's okay to get behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated. You have so much to lose...”
• Don La Greca (16:54): “We're trying to rationalize what's not rational. Sad. It's really sad. He's one of my all-time favorite athletes. He's an icon beyond measure.”
• Alan Hahn (41:12): “Something has now been programmed into us because of this phone... that make it easy for us to get the instant gratification out of sports that watching sports becomes more frustrating. Because sports isn't instant gratification, it's work.”

[Alan Hahn]

This is the Don Hahn and Rosenberg Podcast.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That sounds like heaven to me.

[Alan Hahn]

Listen live weekday afternoon starting at 3 on 8 80, ESPN, the ESPN New York app and your smart speakers. 504 in the big city with Don Lagreca and Peter Rosenberg. I'm Alan Hahn. 800-919-3776 is the number part of the conversation. The Yankees and the Giants underway for their second game of the season. We are in the second inning, bottom of the second inning. It is scoreless. Cam Schlitler has been magnificent so far, but it is early. But he had a terrific first inning. Great debut for him as there's a lot of great expectations for what he can become on this pitching staff that if it's healthy, it could be one of the best they've had in a long time.

[Don La Greca]

Well, that think about what a great way to feel that would be. I mean just, just two days. But if Schlitler is great all day, what a nice way to start. If you're a Yankee fan with a great outing from Freed and Schlitler. That's kind of, that's the promise in theory that could make this season different than last year, especially when Cole's fully ready.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah. And that's what you're waiting for. Radon as well. And you know that could be the secret sauce to the season in a division that's just going to be an absolute gauntlet. It's certainly something to watch. The Mets, they had a great debut. Speaking of which, as well as they put up a ton of runs. Don, how much are you buying into? They are a different looking team for no no doubt. And really you learn that right away like they just looked like a different team. Now again it's the first game but you're going up against one of the best pitchers in the sport. Got him out before the inning even the first inning even ended and then just kept clubbing the baseball. It was an impressive debut for the New look Mets.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well, it was. And again, you've, like you said, the new look Mets. So you've got different players. So Bichette makes his debut, didn't get a hit, but he did have an rbi. And you know, Seger's in there and you bring in Robert and everybody's contribute. You change the team. And you also change the mentality too, of they want to work counts, they want to foul off pitches, they want to wait for their pitch, not be as reliant on the home run, just, you know, pass the baton, just keep, keep moving it. And it's a different look. That's why Stearns went out and did what he did, right. He had to make changes. He felt that it was stale. He felt he could not win with the team that he had. And it was difficult to see McNeil, a former batting champion, go. Difficult to see Alonzo, who was kind of like Mr. Met, drafted, accomplished so much, you know, you know, hitting 50 home runs, breaking the rookie record, you know, hitting the home run against Milwaukee a couple of years ago. There was a lot of history there, but you move on from it. It's just one game. But offensively they look great. Peralta, you know, gave you five innings, wasn't a great start. You know, got a decent start from the offense and that helped. But you know, you won against a team that's projected to be pretty good in Pittsburgh. We'll see. But it's just one game. But they're buying into the philosophy and everybody that brought. Was brought in during the off season, for the most part, had a nice debut.

[Don La Greca]

This, this just in more news for you.

[Alan Hahn]

Okay, Tiger. Yeah, I want to make sure to ESPN related.

[Don La Greca]

You mean in terms of the outlet reporting it?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yes, yes, the outlet reporting it is golf.com okay, well, they had the original.

[Don La Greca]

It is the. It is the completely verified Golf.com website with 550 Tiger woods been arrested for DUI.

[Peter Rosenberg]

There you go. So good news that he wasn't injured, but

[Don La Greca]

bad news that this guy's obviously

[Alan Hahn]

not doing middle of the day, by the way, which. That's 2:00 clock p.m. yeah, that.

[Peter Rosenberg]

This is, this is, this is bad.

[Don La Greca]

I mean, that is a sign that things are bad in the world. Guys, in. In a week. In a week in which he was just playing in the tournament, right.

[Alan Hahn]

The golf.

[Don La Greca]

Video golf, as we call it.

[Alan Hahn]

Video golf.

[Don La Greca]

Yeah, the Golden Tee. And as there's conversation about whether or not he's gonna be at the Masters, and he is, and he's wasted in driving or Let me not say that. Sorry. He is, according to this article, under the influence and driving at 2 o' clock in the afternoon. That is not what you.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well, listen, you don't want to jump to conclusions, but under the influence at 2 o' clock in the afternoon, the stupidity of getting behind the wheel.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah, it's not good. And then rolling your car over. Was it one car? There wasn't anybody else involved, right?

[Don La Greca]

I don't know yet. The picture I saw looked like it was just his car. But yeah, Don, there's levels to it, right? Like, so all driving under the influence is bad. But then there's how under the influence are you. And then there's like there's under the influence. And again, I am personally not okay with any of these options. But. But there's under the influence and you go, oh, my God, I gotta get home. I'm gonna drive 12 miles an hour. And there's under the influence and speeding to the point that you can flip your truck. So there's levels to this now, again, not good.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I don't wanna jump to conclusions, but driving under the influence of two o' clock in the afternoon and gets into an accident with a car is upside down. It's not crazy to say that he was pretty intoxicated in the middle of the afternoon and damn near killed himself. That got into a significant enough accident to make you think that the fact that he was under the influence caused the accident. Now, we don't know that. Maybe he would have gotten into that accident exactly the same way, perfectly sober. Maybe he just was slightly over the legal limit and that's not the reason he got into the accident. But come on, guys, when a car's upside down, you're getting a DUI in the middle of the afternoon. For a guy where the President of the United States is reporting he wasn't going to play in the Masters. There's a. There's a lot there that tells you this is a guy that's at a crossroads in his life and not completely dealing with the fact that he's no longer Tiger Woods.

[Alan Hahn]

Don, did you ever think in your entire career that you would ever use the words that you use there? The President is reporting that he will not.

[Don La Greca]

Well, he did, but Peter said it.

[Alan Hahn]

You said it was so.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I was trying to be accurate because, Peter, correct me if I'm wrong, that's the only place we've heard it.

[Alan Hahn]

Remember when Reagan said that Nicholas was going to miss the US Open? Remember that?

[Don La Greca]

Well, remember, though. But remember, Nicholas wasn't Dating Reagan's ex daughter in law because Tiger is dating Trump's ex daughter. No, no, Allen, it doesn't change the ridiculousness of it, but I'm just saying

[Alan Hahn]

it had nothing to do with anything. It was more of just the fact that we're going to, I don't know, it's just. Wait, you're saying that we say today.

[Don La Greca]

It's not, it's not often. It's not often. It's not often that during wars, the President announces the status of a golfer at the Masters. You don't get it every day, but it happened.

[Alan Hahn]

How Don delivered. It was just as a professional.

[Don La Greca]

Well, who he is, that's Ladon James to you and me.

[Alan Hahn]

It sounded so credible and it's like, wait a second.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well, because I, I, it's, it's the only source we have. And no matter how you feel about the President, it is the President of the United.

[Don La Greca]

So, so wait, so also, what does this say about last time with Tiger's accident? What happened?

[Alan Hahn]

That was in the morning.

[Don La Greca]

Oh, that was, that was morning mortgage.

[Alan Hahn]

What he was like rushing to, I think they were, he was, it was the genesis.

[Don La Greca]

Yeah, it was him rushing to his own thing.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah, it was rushing or record something, I believe. Right.

[Don La Greca]

And it was, it was rushing, rushing to the genesis and he flipped it.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah.

[Don La Greca]

And so it was not. Yeah, there was no DUI situation.

[Peter Rosenberg]

But we also should mention that DUI could also mean drugs, prescription medicine. You know, there could be other things at play here that aren't nefarious as, you know, going out to the bar and, you know, pounding a bunch of beers and getting behind the wheel. It could be, you know, pain medication or maybe there could be a confluence of things, of different medication that should not have been taken together. You know, so it may not. Again, we don't have the information, but it's not like Tiger doesn't have a lot of things going on with vehicles and accidents and crazy things. I mean, this is, it's been a very interesting decade for Tiger woods away from the golf course. For sure. Well, you know what, but he is being arrested, so, but we need to put that into perspective. It could be something that could have been accidental and might not have anything to do with alcohol at all. I guess we'll find out sooner or later.

[Don La Greca]

I guess the possible silver lining here is, is maybe with how bad the last accident was. And you think that would be enough to like, really scare someone if it is, in fact, and it's an if we don't know that he was under the influence of, you know, recreational drugs or alcohol. Maybe this would be the thing that, that, that bottom moment, you know, that, that really low point that you need because a lot of people never hit that low point. Maybe, maybe this can be him trying to turn things around because this just seems like a complete mess.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well, again, getting things from places out of the ordinary. Adam Schefter is reporting. Of course, Tiger woods was arrested and charged with dui, property damage and refusal to submit, per the Martin County Sheriff in Florida. So refusing to submit, I'm assuming he refused a Breathalyzer. Is that what I'm. Am I safe to say that refusing to submit would be maybe not take the test. So this, this feels like it was alcohol related, right?

[Don La Greca]

It's what it feels like. And it also. An eyewitness tells TMZ it was a two car crash. Doesn't look like anyone suffered serious injuries. The witness stated they saw Tiger on the scene. He appeared to be okay.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Don La Greca]

That. These pictures on TMZ of the crash. Yeah, these are the ones I already saw.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's not good now. I don't know if Anthony said it in the, on the air in my ear.

[Alan Hahn]

No, I was in your ear.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It could be, you know, if it's drugs, refusing to submit to a blood test. But that wouldn't happen on the scene, Right. Like you would be taken in and you would take a test if it was anything to do with, with drugs in your system. I would think refusing to submit means you refuse it to submit to a breathalyzer test or any other, you know, DUI test that you would take. So the fact that you refuse tells you. And I don't think that would be drugs. But

[Don La Greca]

is it too soon to repeat the statement that I just saw, which said on Twitter, Tiger woods is both the best and worst driver of all time.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well, but wouldn't be even a worse decision maker if that for sure. You decide to get behind. I don't know. I do not get. Honestly, I do not understand these filthy stinking rich people who think it's okay to get behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated. You have so much to lose and

[Don La Greca]

it's so easy to.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's so easy for you to get an Uber or call somebody to come pick you. Honestly, you know, the average Jabroni out there who maybe can't afford it still, it's ridiculous to make those decisions, but don't have the ability to go maybe get an Uber or whatever, or they figure what do they got to lose? Because it's not going to become public if they did get pulled. I mean, Tiger, this is the last thing anybody ever needs.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah. So they're having the press conference now. The county sheriff said that that woods was not hurt. He complied with a Breathalyzer, but refused a urine test.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well, now. Now it's taking really. That. That is interesting, maybe I guess as misdemeanor charges.

[Alan Hahn]

So. But, you know, it's still the fact that he's, you know, he refused the. The urine test, which is interesting why he wouldn't want. But he did the Breathalyzer, so DUI would suggest something, you know, like. It does leave a lot unclear. They have not said anything more than that.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That is crazy.

[Alan Hahn]

But that. That, again, it's. That's. This is what, five years since that crash in California. And he has had reckless driving in his past. He has had DUIs in his past. So this is nothing new for him. But this is obviously more recent, and because it's today, but there hasn't been a lot recent since that one in California. The one in California was again earlier in the day, and that was. He really says he sustained. I mean, those are severe injuries he had to his legs, if I'm not mistaken. But. Oh, yeah, yeah. There's not a lot that they can reveal, of course, now, but because he was arrested, whatever his public information, which includes a Breathalyzer and refusing any other test that they wanted to.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Right.

[Alan Hahn]

As.

[Peter Rosenberg]

As we're gathering all this information.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah. And it's all happening, like, live right now. So we're trying to get.

[Peter Rosenberg]

They. They were obviously under suspicion that he was under the influence of something. Takes a breathalyzer test, doesn't fail it. So it's not alcohol they're gonna take. They obviously took him in. They're not gonna take a urine sample there in the street. So they take him back to the. To the house, arrest him. He. He asked him to take a urine sample and he refuses. Now, maybe did he refuse because he knows something's in his system, didn't have anything to do with the accident or. It obviously was something that put him on the influence. That wasn't alcohol.

[Alan Hahn]

Well, stupid to do. Yeah. That's the thing. It's like if, you know, you. You've been taking some stuff because you were hoping to play, and then you're like, no, no, I'm not taking a blood test because you'll find whatever's in there in me. I don't want anybody to know.

[Caller]

Right.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Because this, you know, this is also, you Know, weed has to bring. Be brought into the conversation. And what's legal, you know, was he high? And that's obviously would. Would show up in a urine test. So that. That's just as ignorant as driving drunk, right?

[Don La Greca]

Oh, yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You're not breaking any laws as far as it being illegal. So it kind of falls under the same. I would think jurisdiction is. Alcohol is like, all right, you smoked, you smoked some pot before you left the house and you were high and you got behind the wheel of a car just as dumb.

[Alan Hahn]

You shouldn't be doing that. You're not supposed to do that. In fact, we see commercials all the time about that. Just like again, if you're. If you are on any prescription stuff because of pain or anything like that, you also got to again be doing that either.

[Don La Greca]

It's also just back to the, like, the whole world makes these jokes about Tiger and the driving and why. But it. But the truth is, how is there no one in your life? Maybe even if it's your kids that go, dad, don't ever drive. You don't have this man.

[Alan Hahn]

This man golf. You suck at driving.

[Don La Greca]

Tiger's a built guys. He's a billionaire. We're not talking about someone who has $5 million, $10 million, $20 million. We're talking about a guy were to have a driver on staff. 24 7, 365 is light work. You could do that for under a million dollars a year where you literally. You just get in and out of cars whenever you want.

[Alan Hahn]

Like, he knows. Of course he knows. Like, like it's as simple as that. He probably doesn't. Whatever it is. I honestly, I don't know what I. What, what, what you see now is another example which. This is the sad part. And it's not just sports legends and it's not all the time, but it's like we see this a lot. This is to me like the. You don't want to see this kind of ending for. For a career where he's such a celebrated player, right? Like we. How many times you can think of like legendary athletes who later on in the. Like later on in life, it's just they're train wreck, no point.

[Don La Greca]

And we find ourselves. This is the unfortunate thing. We all of us just did the same thing that we always do and everyone always does. We are sitting here trying to rationalize with intelligence something that cannot be rationalized because addiction cannot be rationalized. And this guy, clearly an addict and has been for a long time. We don't know the specifics we don't know if it's alcohol, we don't know if it's prescription drugs. We don't know what it is. But we know one thing. When you're making decisions, guys like this, this is not a sane mind making decisions. This is a guy who has issues and is trying to cover them from people. And when you're doing that, listen, guys, to get the driver, you know what, that acknowledges, that acknowledges that you need help. You know what? I'm not in control of this. I need some. He can't do that. There's, we're trying to rationalize what's not rational. Sad. It's really sad. He's one of my all time favorite athletes. He's, he's, he's an icon beyond measure. There, there really aren't superlatives, enough superlatives for Tiger Woods.

[Alan Hahn]

This is, this is definitely, this is definitely a thing though. We see a lot. But this is the guy that's so iconic and like a tough story today. The best part is he walked away. So nothing tragic happened to him. But I'll tell you what, from the sounds of it, could have. So we're not talking about that, which is a good thing, but instead we're talking about a guy that's got to clean it up. I mean, he's 50 years old. He's not, you know, this is, he's got a lot of life left to live. Son who wants to be a pro.

[Peter Rosenberg]

But this is also when we talk about driving under the influence, he's very fortunate he didn't get killed. But even more importantly to me is he didn't kill an innocent bystander. Manslaughter, let's not forget about that. You make a bad decision, you suffer the consequences. You get injured, you get killed, hey, that's on you. You made a bad decision. But the person that just happened across your path had nothing to do with it. You know, so we're, that's the ultimate thing is we're very fortunate that he didn't kill somebody today or paralyze somebody today because of his poor decision making.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah, he certainly is.

[Alan Hahn]

for listening to the Don Hahn and Rosenberg podcast.

[Don La Greca]

I didn't listen to anything you just said.

[Alan Hahn]

Catch this show on demand whenever you want. Just subscribe to us wherever you get your podcasts. All right, before we get to the calls, give you a little good news, bad news on the Yankee side of things as they're in the fourth inning now it's a scoreless game. Robbie Ray a lefty, which the Yankees have had trouble with. Lefties, as we know in the past. They have a whole lineup that is just basically based on the fact that they're facing a lefty and still nothing happening so far. But the bad news is that Aaron Judge is already over 2. Oh my God. Right? He already has a strikeout as well after over five or four strikeouts in the opening game That's a rough start to the season, fellas, for Aaron Judge. And I know, again, we have so much baseball to play, but doesn't this just keep feeding the beast? It's like, just get a hit today, man. Please, just get a hit. Just to put a. Just to put a silencer. It's ridiculous.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's interesting that one of the best players on the planet would be 0 for 7 with five strikeouts to start the season. Yeah, but your team hasn't given up a run. You shut out the Giants 7 nothing on opening day. You're in the top of the fourth inning and you're shutting them down. Yeah, I mean, so what's. What. So you couldn't be happy when he's winning MVPs and it's the regular season, it doesn't matter. And then all of a sudden he's over seven with five strikeouts. Your team's 1 0. It's very good chance to win today, be 2 0. You're not happy with that? I mean, our Yankee fans, or at least the ones complaining about Judge just basically telling you, I don't care about the regular season. Is it, wake me when the World Series starts?

[Alan Hahn]

See, is it fans or is it people that just want to take him down? But I don't know if it's fans. I don't. I got to tell you, fans know. It's so early. He's going to hit. He's going to be fine. We're all going to laugh about this in June when Of course he's hitting.329 with and he's already got 15 home runs.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I don't believe that this is an outsider thing. I'm not, I'm not saying it's a majority of people, it's a very vocal minority of people, but the majority of that minority are Yankee fans. These aren't met fans. Red Sox fans. Trolling Judge. Peter, we took enough phone calls during the summer of K when he was on his way to breaking the American League home run record of Yankee fans having a problem with him.

[Alan Hahn]

Oh, what is it?

[Don La Greca]

Very much a thing. It's very much the thing. It just is.

[Alan Hahn]

I was having fun with it. Now I'm realizing that I can't have fun with it because people are taking no seriously. Like, you can't. The guy's three time mvp. You think? I seriously don't think he's good or he's going to have a good season. Like, you got to be kidding me. You know, it's going to figure itself out. But I Wonder if it does weigh on his mind because I've asked this question because of all the pressure point moments and the fact that as I set up for the WBC in that championship game, like, he's got to have a moment to silence the critics. And instead he had as bad a performance as you can have at the plate in a big spot that only fed the idea that this guy's not clutch. And then he starts 0 for 7.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Listen, it's a topic. I'm not saying it's not a topic of conversation. Just like in. Because Anthony's Super Yankee family. Remember the year when, like, Jeter at one point was like, oh, for 35 or something and the fans started booing him? It's baseball. It's a humbling sport. You know, there is going to be a day, guys. And as much as I love Judge and I think he's, you know, one of the best players that I've ever seen, you can't expect 60 home runs and 130 RBIs in MVP every year, too. I mean, there might be seasons where he might just hit 37 and driving 110 runs and not not be an MVP. I mean, that. That does happen. The greatest players just aren't great every single year.

[Don La Greca]

Guys, in 2024. This was not a long time ago, but I remember talking about this a lot at the time. Don, if you recall.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Don La Greca]

As of mid May in 2024, Judge was batting like 228 with seven home runs. It wasn't happening.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Like.

[Don La Greca]

And then guess what?

[Caller]

You.

[Don La Greca]

You keep looking past that, and by the time he gets to June 1st, he's batting 287.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah.

[Don La Greca]

And then he's. And then by the time you get to mid June, he's at.300. So you gotta, like, let the. I get it. It's a. It's. People can't help themselves. But it's. Yo, yo.

[Alan Hahn]

It's become a thing. It's a real. It has become a thing, though. But the good news, Dom, before you. You. Your next point. Just because I wanted to balance it, so I gave you the bad news. The good news is Schlitler, through three innings, he looks phenomenal. And you mentioned it. This is a. Freed at a great outing, got the shutout. Schlitler so far through three. Now again, only three, but still for a young pitcher who showed us some flash last year and some moxie, and we thought, can this guy be a serious part of the rotation? I mean, he's got four strikeouts, he's given up one hit, but his control has been great. He's topping off 98, 99 on the splitter and the fastball. I mean, he, they're hoping he's the real deal, but so far in his debut for this season, he's, he's off to a great start.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And so usually the motivation to rip Judge is that he has a one and he's not clutch. But what's, what's the motivation for ripping him now? Because The Yankees might be 2. 0 without him hitting, and you know he's going to hit.

[Alan Hahn]

Yep.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So what's the modus operandi here? I mean, you want to be a good team, and if you are a good team without Judge hitting, knowing that eventually he's going to hit, isn't that a great place to be?

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah, of course.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You know, so listen, the Yankees live every day, like, what the Knicks are going through right now, right?

[Alan Hahn]

Yep.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It, it, it's taken the Knicks 74 games and all that. It's like, all right, prove it to me in the postseason. That's all like being a Yankee fan is. This regular season stuff is fun, but let's get to the playoffs. Let's win a championship. And a championship can't be won or lost on March 27 unless somebody has a catastrophic injury. Just sit back and enjoy it. Enjoy the fact the team is good and good beyond Aaron Judge, and eventually he's going to hit. But, you know, a lot of it is just that people just have to have something to complain about.

[Alan Hahn]

And we also are in an era we talked about. So for the Yankees, every year it's about winning the championship, and every year they're a winning team. But we don't appreciate that anymore because it's really about what happens in October. And the Knicks, who five years ago were never in this conversation, this will be four straight years they make the playoffs. That's the longest streak of making the playoffs the Knicks have had in 25 years. They haven't done this since the end of the Ewing era, when they went 14 straight years, they haven't done that throughout the 2000s. The most they did was three years. So they're in a new kind of era. But because you reached the conference finals last year, and then before that you, you were in a second round, there's this expectation of, okay, now it's time. You have to win now. And it's true, because windows do close, but the expectations change and so does the patience. You aren't sitting back going, man, this is just fun. It's now Become like, do or die. That's a reality. And the Yankees. Judge and the Yankees have been into this since probably what, like, 2017 was. That rebirth. 18 was frustrating. I think the last couple of years, it's become a. You got to get there. They finally get there in the World Series, but because of how poorly they played in it, there was this. This. You were unsatisfied with just getting to the World Series and feeling like you're back.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I get it. But the difference is The Knicks have eight games remaining. The Yankees, after today, have 160.

[Alan Hahn]

All right, so there's a ways to go.

[Peter Rosenberg]

We just can't just throw away the entire regular season and everything that happens and just say, well, let's see what. Let's see him win a championship. I mean, you got to have. You got to enjoy the ride at some point. I agree. At some point, this team has got to start, you know, winning championships with the money that's. That's being spent with the talent that they have on the team. It's not. It's time to start to deliver. But can't you just sit back on March 27th and just enjoy a baseball game?

[Alan Hahn]

Be Nice. I'm trying. Calls. 809-37-76. How about Dan out in Suffolk County? What's up, Dan Mills?

[Don La Greca]

I.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Baby.

[Commercial Announcer]

Hey, what's up, fellas?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Thanks for taking the call.

[Commercial Announcer]

I was talking to Michael earlier about this Judge thing, and, you know, watching him hold the bat on his shoulders, blowing bubbles back for the dugout, it's deflating. It sucks the air right out of the room. Everyone's excited. We've been deprived of baseball. It's. We're all excited to be back. I get. It's game one. That's all great. And Michael will give you last year's stats till he's blue in the face. But it's an intangible stat. It really is, and we're disappointed it's in. As a fan base, you know, it's. It is more expected of him, and I think that he should expect more of himself, quite frankly. Thanks for taking the call, guys. Love all.

[Alan Hahn]

You got it.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Seven at bats.

[Alan Hahn]

I think you want to catch, but I get the part of, you know, the. As a fan, you want to be. I. I want to be entertained. I want to see it. I want to see Judge, and I want to see these, you know, wait a minute. Amazing home runs. And, you know, you're walking back, you're blowing a bubble, and I'm like, I'm unfulfilled. But it's way too early for this.

[Don La Greca]

But, dude.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And again, I'm not talking about this specific caller, and I'm not talking about Yankee fans in general, but I'm talking about the people that complain. The guy broke the American League record for home runs. He's more than entertained you. And it wasn't enough because it didn't win a championship. Now we're in game two. Game's not even over yet. He might hit two home runs today and win the game, but he's over seven with five strikeouts. And it's like, I'm not entertained. Well, you weren't entertained by 63 home runs. I don't expect you to be entertained by 0 for 7 with five strikeouts. But your team's in a scoreless tie on the top of the fourth. They won the first game. Seven, nothing. I'm. What? What? What? What? What do I got to do? So you got to win every game. Judge has to go four for four with a thousand homer. Like, what? What do you want? I thought, listen, I'm a fan, right? I was a Met, you know, I'm a big Met fan, Giant fan. My favorite player was Lawrence Taylor. The Giants won the game. I didn't care if Lawrence Taylor had

[Don La Greca]

seven sacks or no sacks.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I wanted to see him win the game. Schindler's pitching great. They haven't allowed a run all season. But we're going to sit there and find the one thing to complain about, and it just ruined everything. My. That caller sounded like his milk money was stolen.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah, it's always.

[Peter Rosenberg]

He's got the audacity to blow a bubble, right?

[Alan Hahn]

To look like he doesn't care. Because you know why he doesn't care? It's too early to get that caught up in it. You think he doesn't want to get a hit? Of course there's nobody. Seven at bats without it. Without a hit will drive great players crazy. So just imagine what's going through his head right now. Jay in the Bronx, on. On who to blame here? Go ahead, Jay.

[Caller]

You know what? I was gonna blame your colleagues. Good afternoon. Thanks for taking the call. First of all, until dude had a problem with Aaron just blowing bubbles, and I was gonna. I was gonna defend the fan base because I saw the game on Netflix, and as soon as I put on SportsCenter, all they kept talking about was going 0 for 5, and he's never had a hit in the opening and an opening night. And I was gonna say, hey, you know, this is what they feed us. And, you know we live off of that. But then this man has a problem with the guy chewing baseball. You know, chewing gum during a baseball game, that apparently is in leadership. So, you know, I don't know what to do with any of it. I've been watching baseball for a long time. It's a game of failures. Like Michael K. Says, the best hitters hit 30% of the time. I mean, maybe we're spoiled by Paul o' Neal beating up a water cooler with a baseball bat all those years, if you're my age, but I really don't see what the problem is. He's gonna hit. It's the second game of the season. I've been watching this game for a very long time. The greatest of hitters have slumps. Sometimes they start slow, but usually the numbers make sense. But, you know, I don't know what to do with bubble gum, so.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And you're.

[Alan Hahn]

You're right.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I guess you just got to chew faster, make it look like you're punishing the gum.

[Alan Hahn]

Well, he hits, usually spits the gum and hits it with the bat.

[Peter Rosenberg]

He does that, but, you know, oh, we'll start analyzing how now he spits the gum out and misses when he swings. And now that. That's a problem. I. I think that. Listen, I don't think this is the majority of the fans, but we can only react to the people that call us, the people that, you know, that we interact with. And, yeah, there's a lot of people that troll to get hits and get clicks and all that, but, you know, we're just reacting to what comes to us, and that's why it becomes the topic of conversation. It exists. I was listening to Michael K. Show getting ready for this show, and he's not. He's defending judge, and he's getting calls from people, you know, ripping in the judge. So he's reacting to what the fan base has to say. But has sports become so boring, guys, and so routine that we need to inject drama just to entertain us? Is that what I mean? Is that what Netflix was telling us on Wednesday?

[Caller]

That.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Listen, I can't just show you the game. People will hang themselves. We got to be Christians. We got to have. Because. Because the sport. The sport has always been enough for me, you know? God, if you. If you looked at the sports that Alan and I watched growing up, oh, Lord, you would. You would think, oh, my God, this is because all it was was sports. And all it was was, you know, batting average, home runs at RBIs. There were no analytics. There were no, break dust. You know, we didn't get a million different television angles.

[Alan Hahn]

We thought we could play pro, but it was enough card.

[Peter Rosenberg]

But now, now we've got it. We've got to just basically have, you know, the, the bullpen coyote, which was a joke five or six years ago that now. So now you haven't seen yet.

[Alan Hahn]

I. Peter, I stand by it. I have. I. I think I have a theory of why it is that way, Don. And it was. It's out of our control completely. It's just a condition now that we have. I'll explain that coming up. We got tons of calls to get to and we will on Tiger, on Blowing Bubbles and everything else. Drop Madness, all of it. 800-919-3776. But I got, also I got Knicks tickets that we got to give away a chance to win for you right now because ESPN New York is teaming up with Calandra's Bakery. We love them to give away a pair of tickets to see the Knicks and the Charlotte Hornets, who, by the way, they, they handed it to the Knicks last night, man. I mean, did you see Dababy take out the belt on the Knick jersey?

[Don La Greca]

Bta?

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah, that happened courtside. So they rematch at The Garden. Sunday, April 12th. Final game of the regular season, possibly a first round matchup. You never know. You're going to want this game. It's easy to enter. Just stop by Calandra's Bakery at 234 Bloomfield Avenue in Caldwell, New Jersey before April 7th and you can enter in person. It's brought to you by Calandra's Bakery in Caldwell, home of the fresh bread, classic Italian pastries and traditions baked daily. I like things my way. My coffee, my schedule and my treatment.

Tullamore Dew, the original triple distilled, triple blended, triple cast matured Irish whiskey. Be sure to grab a Telemore Dew or try the new Tullamore Dew. Honey, during today's action. Glasses up to enjoying. Tell them or do responsibly.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So you had a theory?

[Alan Hahn]

I did. And this is what it is. This is what it is. Why I think we are getting caught up in immediate satisfaction when it comes to watching games and getting frustrated when we aren't getting the big hit by an Aaron. Aaron Judge, a home run or any of that stuff. I blame it on not just social media, but also reels and highlights that we see right on our phone. Right away, we see magic moments right in our hand. Immediately the gratification is already there. And so when you're sitting to watch a game, you're waiting for that same gratification. Oh, here comes Judge. Oh, I've seen him do a lot of amazing things. Wait, he swung and missed. He struck out again. Wait, that's not fun to watch. And you just frustrated by it because something has now been programmed into us because of this phone and all the things that come on it that make it easy for us to get the instant gratification out of sports that watching sports becomes more frustrating. Because what you don't realize is that sports isn't instant gratification, it's work. You gotta watch it evolve and see it happen and wait for it to happen versus when you just flip on a reel or a story. It's right there, immediate. Am I crazy? I think we're conditioned differently now than we used to be.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I thought about this the other day. Kind of weird, right? That heartache tonight came on by The Eagles.

[Alan Hahn]

Oh, love that song.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And there's that lyric towards the end of the song. Sometime before the sun comes up, the radio is going to play that song. And there's plenty of examples in music where you're waiting for the song to come on the radio. And I thought to myself, like, we don't do that anymore. Because if I want to hear a song, I'll just go to my phone, I'll hear the song. But there was a time growing up, Peter, I think you hit this, too, where there'd be a new song coming out, and you turn on the radio, and it would be like a gift from God that the song that you were waiting for would come up.

[Alan Hahn]

Then you press record.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And there was just something different about it coming out of the radio speakers as opposed to going home and listening to it on your cassette or your album or your cd.

[Don La Greca]

Oh, I hit so different.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And. And it was so good because you didn't know the next time you'd be able to hear the song. But now, as you said, we live in that instant gratification. As soon as I'm in the mood to hear that song, I'll just. I'll go to the. I'll go to my phone and I'll just. I'll. I'll punch it up and I'll listen to it a dozen times if I want to, probably till I'm sick and tired of it. And I remember the Devil Seinfeld with Putty, and I missed that. I was doing something. I didn't see it. I came into Sports Phone the next day.

[Don La Greca]

Oh, you had to wait for.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You were on Seinfeld. I was on Seinfeld, yeah. It's a guy just like you. This guy Putty, he's wearing a devil jersey, screaming, let's go, Devils. I had to wait till the summer for that to come on and reruns so that I can. So I could tape it on my vhs. To see it now, I would have just gone On Demand, watch the episode, and I didn't have to see it in real time. So you have a whole generation of people that don't have to wait for anything, right? They get all their food delivered. You know, they can. They can order it at a time. They will.

[Don La Greca]

They don't know, as a result on. They don't know what love is.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That's exactly. Because the things that you truly are worth waiting for. And that satisfaction of that you waited it out, you did your due diligence, and that finally you got a chance to hear it. Or do it, but that. You're so right, Alan. So it's like, oh, this guy Judge is good. And I've had to sit through two games and the guy hasn't done anything. He's a bum. And again, I don't want to go, that guy. It's such a get off my lawn feeling. But tell me, Tell me that we're

[Alan Hahn]

wrong, but I think we're conditioned. I don't think it's even just another generation. I think we are all like that because of the instant gratification that we're just so used to. And sports isn't that. That it is. When I tell you that there's 160 games left after today, there's got to be a part of you that's just like, my God. Like, it feels like a marathon. But we all know how life is. You blink. Suddenly we're in August going, wow, that's. There's only. There's only 30 games left. Like.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And because there's.

[Alan Hahn]

It's reality.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And because if there's other things to do, if I'm going to commit to watch a game, any sport, I'm committing at least two and a half hours to that. Not guaranteed that you're going to be entertained.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah, yeah, that's. That's what it is. But I just think it's the human condition, and maybe that's why it is the way it is. Schlitler, by the way, just. Just stormed off the mound once again. Five innings, eight strikeouts. He's been phenomenal. One hit, no runs. He's at 67 pitches. He's gone through most of the order. Second time around, they've already got action in the bullpen. Now, we know it's early in the season. Do they let him keep going or, you know, again, young arm, do we want to protect him? I mean, again, he's hit 98, 99, and he. He looks so confident with every pitch he's throwing today. It's phenomenal performance.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And Ray's been good, too. He's through five, 76 pitches, four strikeouts, and Goldschmidt's leading off the top of the sixth inning. Judge will bat second in this inning, so watch this.

[Alan Hahn]

Get a chance, get some runs, man.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And still scoreless. Here to see. See what the Yankees can do here. Oh, we have not allowed a run yet, Right? Nine innings on Wednesday so far. Five innings today, right?

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah. No, it's been. It's been a very good game when it comes to defense and pitching, but today could use some offense because the kid Schlitler has been just outstanding again ENN coming up in moments, but Peter first.

[Don La Greca]

Well, that's the thing. You have drop madness, right? You've got all kinds of madness all over the place. But when you think about where you're going to bet, there's only one place to go.
