one we use okay [Music] lotan was or the [Music] RBI or RBI oh definitely you transl he translate for me uh I definitely think was the RBI for sure I mean I want definitely thebi hey you guys Mar what was the difference this was your kind of last one that you got together you had done you were kids in 1996 what was the difference for all you old now so 50 not now the difference between 96 and 2009 doing it as a kid doing it as an adult I think well the differ was 96 I was 26 2009 was maybe 46 I mean it was the same because I one were serious so it didn't matter if were 96 or 2009 the point we br Championship B where it belongs that was the I have no idea what Mariano just said but I'd say in 96 We Were Young we're experiencing everything for the first time we start to get to 2009 there was an expectation level with this organization every year it doesn't make a difference what you do during 162 game schedule it all boils down to the world seriesn champion ship or the season of failure and I think we felt that more as we got into the later years especially in 09 well we have game to play and I've got to wrap this up I thank you so much for all being here than everybody [Applause] Len Jack curry with you and Jack as always a great celebration and some great memories of that 2009 Championship season so many cool stories and we get the chance to listen to these players talk about their careers but I also love hearing the players talk about each other and how their camaraderie and their chemistry meant so much to them predictably Derek Jeter got the biggest Ovation of anyone everyone was waiting for the Captain to amble onto the field and I love what Jeter said at the end of the ceremony right there Bob about how there was an expectation you were on the Yankees they were expecting to win an 09 and they did you know I think it's also a great the Yankees do this so great not only older day today but crating a championship team and sort of connecting it to again is it symmetry 15 years that's a good round number right but then they look ahead to the 2024 team and of the Common Thread that could stretch from that Championship to perhaps another championship I asked Aaron boom before the game what would you like your players to take away from interacting with the 09 team and he talked about that 09 team had a championship pedigree those guys are walking around with rings so even if it's one nugget Bob even if it's one thing about mental strength Bo was hoping that the 24 team soaks up everything that that 209 was about well we thank you for joining us a big

with a 2024 glad you're with us live at Yankee stadi on The Bob Jack Curry and with you a lot to talk about as we trans from old day in the cbra of 2009 to Once ahead in 2024 as we get H opening com Jack second game against the Rockies Yankees get a win last night about five weeks left in the regular season to get where they want to go and it's up to these 2024 Yankees to make sure that this fun and festive weekend continues no one can do a day like the Yankees did today they've got the 27 world champions you mentioned they want to get 28 40 pennants more than 50 players affiliated with the are in the Hall of Fame when we talk about today Bob it's about let the good times roll the Colorado Rockies are in town this is a team that is on Pace to lose more than 100 games if you're the Yankees don't let them disrupt this wonderful weekend go out there win the games you're supposed to win meanwhile Meredith has brought the clubhouse out here cuz it's time for the clubhouse report brought to you by your local Ford stores and let's start with the lineup today and of course you can't picture Aon judge not in there he is tell us about that every fan can rest easy Aaron judge is in the lineup but when it comes to Aaron judge little bit of a half for him he's going to DH this afternoon so that means John Carlos Stanton is going to be coming off the bench he's available Off the Bench I asked Aon Moon about it and he simply said look we're in a stretch of nine in a row we're not going to play Stanton every day look at the match up today there's lefties coming up he's going to want them in there so he decided this was the best day to give Stanton the day off and has Aaron judge dhing but when you look at what Aaron judge is doing right now I mean there AR of we talked about it the other day he's just been absolutely incredible four home runs his last four games seven out of his last eight 49 on the season and just talking to some of those guys that have been to the promised land before like Derek Jeter they try to wrap their head around it as well and they simply call it ridiculous it's kind of see kind of nice to see them in awe a little bit too Jack I think CC saath gave the best answer just walk them because that is really where we are right now 45 homers in his last 100 and Merith though I promised you the other in the stud I am running out of and it's funny I talk to Mar look he is as good as they get in the postseason the greatest cler of all time can he your cut go oh yeah just being but it was funny honestly think he was being honest do about anything right now let's transition to the injury report we had gra guest 14 guys at Somerset that's a bit of exaggeration Five Guys though there some guys back what you got five guys in a whole yes production crew in detailing all it just kid was on the last night said he came through that okay so they going to be discussions now how do they want to continue to build up Clark Schmid do they want him to get another rehab game or are they going to build him up at the major league level obviously a lot of that depends on how things are going up here what the needs are if they can continue to have him pitch down there and build up that's a good thing now we also know DJ lameu was in the starting lineup yesterday he was a late scratch it was in an interesting situation during batting practice he was taking grounders at first base a ball came out of nowhere and hit him uh he is okay he went through concussion protocol last night Aaron Bo said he wasn't going to be in today's lineup anyway it was going to be Ben rice in today's lineup but it seems as though DJ is improving and could be an option Off the Bench guys one of the best ways to watch old day is Through The Eyes of someone who has never seen it before you had the chance to talk to Ben rice this is the first he's seen this as a Yankee player what were his thoughts I caught up with him quickly in the clubhouse he was already starting his stretching program getting himself Ready for today's game and I said are you excited about today and he said yes I'm extremely excited about today I can't wait to see some of the former guys and I said is there anyone in particular that you want to see and it was funny he just looked at me and said any of them I want to talk to any of them any and everyone I want to have the opportunity uh just to talk to some of those guys that have won championships and clearly had success here in the Bron it's a definitely is a special day thank you we're going to see you in just a little bit with Michael and Paul before we go to break want to take a look at the lineups for both of the teams this afternoon we'll start with a rocky lineup brought to you by Toyota one guy to keep
