## Resource

The New York Yankees were thrown into chaos all weekend long because of the Rays’ Chandler Simpson and his speed. Eduardo Pérez and Buster discuss, plus, the San Diego Padres are hot, can the Sacramento Athletics’ pitching hold up at home, what’s up with the Mets’ Francisco Lindor, and who had the idea for every player to wear No. 42 on Jackie Robinson Day. Later, NBC Sports’ Bob Costas stops by to talk about his role on Sunday Night Baseball, Buster’s first encounter with Bob, if managers will tighten up ABS challenges as the season continues, interactions with Jackie Robinson’s family, and the full story on the 1988 Dodger team chanting “Kill Costas!” before a World Series game. 0:00 Welcome 1:31 Eduardo Pérez joins the show 1:55 Rays Chandler Simpson terrorizes Yankees 7:32 Padres hot 9:08 Athletics: Real or not 10:05 Mets Francisco Lindor’s issues 12:34 Was Eduardo at Jackie Robinson’s last recorded speech? 16:58 All players wearing No. 42 was Ken Griffey Jr.’s idea 21:00 Bob Costas joins the show 25:30 Buster’s first encounter with Bob 26:46 Thought ABS would be used more judiciously 35:15 Interactions with Jackie Robinson’s family 39:10 “Kill Costas” 44:49 Bleacher Tweets CALL THE SHOW: 406-404-8460 EMAIL THE SHOW: BleacherTweets@gmail.com REACH OUT ON X: #BLEACHERTWEETS Follow The Baseball Tonight Podcast on… YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHeL6O-A-ASmSMwbSCFvPKEq1Cslo_lrw Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5FG6xCcd338SgZjZ9urHRI Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/baseball-tonight-with-buster-olney/id137699414 Learn more about your ad choices.
