I do try to accommodate you in current times during the week when I'll answer your questions as well. Thank you as always for caring for being interested.

Even those of you are completely snarky and are coming up with ridiculous questions when your kindergarten teacher told you there was no such thing as a stupid question.

She lied this take my word for it. So when you ask stupid questions on purpose. If I don't delete them. Sometimes I will be snarky right back.

I still have no idea what a boat car is. I think my favorite one next to what you think of Aaron judge's 62nd home run like literally as were spending the entire first hour on it that was probably my favorite one tonight. My other favorite one.

What sport did you play love that what sport what's your qualification for being sports with what sport you guys you guys crack me up. Thank you for your interest.

It is funny because I've learned that whenever someone tries to tell you they don't care. They're totally lie in the fact that you do show up on her Facebook page and on our twitter page on a regular basis, means that you care and I appreciate you for that reason, it's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio were alive from the rocket mortgage Studios pushing duty to know what it takes for a home to fit your budget and your family Rockets can see you can find us on Twitter or Facebook at any point where a full-service operation. We have a YouTube channel it's been neglected since the start of football season, I will just admit that, but we're going to get back to it. We got plans. We plan end and I'm really good at planning and then Jay gets to execute J have a plan. Go do it now.

That's not how it works but I will say that one of the reasons that our partnership is so productive is because I'm a planner I J got awesome ideas, creative ideas that we can brainstorm about and then I keep us on the beat the straight and narrow beaten path. Sometimes J probably thinks I should stop but okay will your facial expression sometimes indicate that cannot just be a banana slug today not to anything extra that it's a yes during football season, a day to be a banana slug now and then is appropriate and necessary. Actually, some of if your hump show/talk today is your opportunity to be a banana slug we get it. Everybody needs rest. Everybody needs recovery. Everybody needs a chance to rejuvenate and re-energize, so that's good actually have a friend who is going on vacation starting today and he tells me the first day is all about drinking beer. Okay, plan a vacation and am not telling you and doing it as a friend. Why think the location if I give Sadie go to the beach or a tropical island yeah maybe start the first day with a couple cocktails, a couple cocktails that an entire day to drink alcohol first day.

I like the aggressiveness. I think it do you. But I could also be a rough start of the trip. If the if you overindulge the first day all right I'll take your word for it.

I just thought it was funny that he was planning a day to drink alcohol and then it's going to be days of golf. So here it is in its early October and people are still taking breaks and taking vacation getaway from work and whatever floats your boat peeps. Whatever it is that you need.

We just hope that you take us along with you.

So it's after hours with Amy Lawrence R.

Hump show your home day of your waking up here on CBS sports radio. I would assume that most people know the news by now. Maybe your smart phone gave you an alert may be you caught it yourself on the bottom line somewhere actually was driving into work a few hours ago, listening to the new because that's what I do for the first part of my drive into work and I heard it on the news, yes, in fact, we have a brand-new single-season homerun king in the American League. Did you know that 62 is the new 61 1106 all three hitting six. 27 Charlie Roger 6161 now 62nd whole grain most anti-American single-season judgment based on all his three different versions of the historic home run from Aaron judge third pitch game 161. How about that a flair for the dramatic.

Obviously been on home run watch for weeks, but I did talk about the same number of at-bats between 60 and 61 that took between 6162 was 23 at-bats of our member correctly was 24. In between 60 and 61 he was running out of real estate in the regular-season but on the third pitch that he saw in the penultimate game of the 2022 regular-season Aaron judge goes deep and as I say 62 is the new 61 in the American League phone right so for this team. We got the guys surrounding the constant support for my family, either through this whole is a great honor. There are so many things to like about Aaron judge and I say this with all sincerity, the Yankees are one of those teams that are polarizing right like Duke basketball or even the new England patriots. Now that it generally happens with teams that do a lot of winning the Golden State Warriors you either love or hate the Yankees and I'm sure there are a lot of people who didn't want to see Aaron judge get the record, but when you actually listen to that guy talk when you actually understand the when we probably can't really understand, but you at least contemplate the way and the pressure the spotlight the attention that he's been carrying. You can understand why he said it was a big relief to get this homerun done, but also the grace the class. The humility with which he carries himself.

He has never not one time this entire season, even going back to when he turned down the contract offer from the Yankees. He is not ever made this year about him.

It's always been about his team. It's always been about winning. It's always been about their championship goals the spotlight naturally follows him.

He is the star of the show and there been times during the season where he was the only one producing in the Yankees offense did you ever complain about the protection that he wasn't getting the ever complain about moving around in the lineup and he complain about. He was the only guy carrying his weight now this is a guy who understands what it means to be part of a team and wants that team to get the attention you actually want people to sit down now when he is at the plate. Fat chance of that is after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio his family, both his parents in the relief and the joy of his mom's face is priceless about his parents as well as his wife and the mayor's family made the trip from New York to Arlington Texas to be there for this last regular-season series. Congratulations to the super conscious support to this whole process could also situation does legacy will not hold the interest of the room of her wonderful people and merchants to know Monday next summer.

Roger mirrors the Aaron did have an opportunity at one point to meet them and to take photos with them but it was delayed until he hit 61.

It was cool to hear from Roger Mary's Junior, who has been the wanted all of these games and he's he's made a point to be there just in case he didn't want to miss it. And he's also made a point to designate this the actual single-season homerun record for major league baseball. He uses the word clean a lot. I think taking it personally that his dad's mark was eclipsed by guys who were known or suspected steroid and PED users and so he's been out a bit of a soapbox about it. Let's be honest though this is not the new major league baseball single-season homerun record and it shouldn't be. Maybe that's not a popular opinion, but I say this all the time really consistent about it.

We don't know how many more home runs the best sluggers of of that era would've hit.

Had they not been facing pictures that were Jews that we, there's no way to separate this athlete. This athlete in this athlete from the hall from the steroid era and say okay we have to erase their records because there's so many more baseball players that were using PED's that never got caught. There were so many more baseball players that were using PED's that were never suspected that were just as guilty as the home run hitters who bulked up and smashed baseballs 800 feet into the yard or over the state and whatever else I get it. Barry bonds is is not the one that many people want to represent the home run record, but I will say this baseball loud that PE Derek at PED era to continue allowed rampant steroid use for a long time.

It was a dirty secret that is not very well kept baseball appreciated the fact that homerun balls were flying out of the park during 1998 from Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. This is as much on baseball the institution as it is on the guys who were using yes it was cheating but the same time baseball did nothing to clean up the game until it was too late and these records had already been smashed, eclipsed and set you cannot tell the story of major league baseball without the steroid era. It's an integral part which is the reason why believe these guys should be in the Hall of Fame. She wanted tell the story of baseball you would observe its history. While that's a couple of decades that will never be able to erase regardless whether we like it or not. Barry bonds has the single-season mark. I hope someone raises that someday I do. I would love to see Aaron judge put together a 74 homerun campaign or Bryce Harper or Mike Trout or Juan Soto or Jimmy.

Someone else there's nobody else that you could see breaking the record Junior okay that would be amazing.

A second-generation major leader that would be awesome. I would love that one of these young guns from the Atlanta Braves. It would be fantastic. But for now this is the bed baseball created and it's got a lie there and after hours with Amy Lawrence here on CBS sports radio.

The most memorable part of Aaron judge's journey home from the road to know the constant support will soon stadium on the free person doing pictures for home balls never ever suitable for abuse of the other not for a single tough crowd so speaking of balls. What happened to the baseball words are so pretty soon Jay you just ruined all that was working on an almost perfect segment looking people. There's no such thing as a person. It was that it was an accident. There's no such thing as a provincial or even a perfect segment. Are you kidding me I was just actually joking but I buy was that I want to make sure I set up for use of the public address department now now mean that that ship sailed like maybe 15 years ago. I don't know that I've ever had even remotely close to perfect show friends of mine tell me that makes me really big to be authentic, and that people actually prefer when we mess up as hosts is that the truth love factual errors.

Those eat me up. I get I get very upset about that was the son of the king help it when I make up words or words come out wrong what you do so you laugh yourself which it is, producer days finding that out for the last year. He is left to be plenty never throw this marker at the double pane glass and hope that it somehow goes right through and hits you in the head or would open it up and throw it at your hat because if I actually a sharpie on your hat you would flip out worse than bodily damage really.

Probably you would rather you would rather tear an ACL that have me right on your hat you come back and that's not all user data is maniacal about his hats little little known secret about producer Jay you think he's a nice guy until you get anywhere close to his hats that he turns it into the hole or the she Hulk Geisel attorney-at-law no idea you listed it okay to ruin my perfect segment about how you talk that actually meant to do that was out of action for like earlier which you know the segment that we will not repeat not called to memory.

So back to Cory Cory, the guy who caught the the home run ball that Aaron judge it in the first inning was last night I is is that he's a Texas guy. Actually, this happened in Arlington and he was getting escorted out of the stadium. The last I saw him surrounded by security. There was a video of it and apparently he was asked what he was planning to do with the baseball and he said he didn't know he hadn't thought about it. Why did that's BS thought about it some Cory humans of Dallas sitting in section 31 you are the grand prize winner Aaron judge obviously did not get the ball back to the words or so will soon we'll see what happens with the group to get a bird's souvenir of her friends so limited return shelter every right to what I think about being gracious. He could put up a sink, he cried, not much of that would get the ball back any quicker. According to Cory he already received an offer for $2 million feeling of judge really wanted to back you would rate increase the value of the Balkans. Now it's like that hot of a commodity. No reverse psychology back but it says maybe I will go there you go.

Pretend like you don't care that such a relationship, strategy. You always notice how the people that you're interested in. If you pretend like you're not interested in them.

All of a sudden they can't stand it.

Cory careful Aaron judge may be playing you brought on all right congratulations to Aaron he's got the megawatt smile. The loud bat and a brand-new American League single-season home run record actually more history in last night's game between the Yankees and the Rangersshowed up at Arlington got quite a show where a little more of the reaction but yet really cool night and he was almost down to his final few at-bats about well and that almost he was out of his final few at-bats and he was actually asked whether or not he wants to take today off meeting Wednesday. The last game game 162.

Does he want to take the the day off. He said I like to play okay like the guy did not take a rest days. He did not mean what they called in basketball labor weight what they call a basketball. I forgot to Bethel mode wow why my blow. I know people yelling at us right out of the radio for their called less rest.

No, not rest day was a no labor, no it's shoot what is it called, we like to hold right now you know when stars take over. You did Aaron judge is not into load management. Yet another reason to like them even though baseball players log twice as many games as to basketball and hockey load management can look it up so were you about to no no no that I was someone you love Google was good to that after hours with Amy Lawrence just ignore us.

We are wacky and I include J that because I did some company in my wacky world. Read well good morning to you George local radio stations range of your favorite teams from your hometown on demand that you can completely customize your listening experience.

Remind your local support to catch up later there to listen to and download the free Odyssey app today your listening to after hours on you are listening to the after-hours podcast 1106 all yeah right.

627 Jolly Roger 61 6160s most anti-American single-season law is based is going to go to strike very close first homerun strikeout breeze. It's all downhill from you we hope to John Serling with the call number two in the American League last night in Arlington Texas and then right after that first inning we got a brand-new single-season strikeout record for the Yankees as well with caracole, and so it get muted. The celebration over Garrett Cole's achievement certainly wasn't as loud and as attention in driven ads.

Aaron judge still fairly amazing. But Garrett doesn't mind sharing that stage with his favorite slugger what special opportunity to share the field with this guy's just unbelievable player unbelievable talent unbelievable human has been a rock all year and we tied it together so is pretty awesome. I found myself like a little kid like the excitement was overwhelming to see the ball go wasn't no doubt or thought he got it, but you had to kinda see it still go in the following indices go out. I just felt this burst of excitement. I think part of that is what we all feel about Aaron as a teammate is a person and how much he makes you feel really important to the seat and I think that's just you saw an outpouring of a lot of people that love and respect to literature.

The thing about it is pressure trying to enjoy every single moment and not really think about the enrollment fee for you to go see the home run into the thing about either literacy and exciting volumes are some special soul notice on the monster, help me stay pretty calm Aaron judge caracole Sherry that stage, but you know Aaron cast a pretty long shadow larger-than-life actually and it's good to hear from Aaron Boone as well. I love the fact that he's he got iconic homerun on his resume. And yet here he is acting like a face like a kid just so excited to see it and the way that is teammate have responded all the way through the way that Albert pools teammates have responded all the way through the two individual homerun chases has been a lot of fun to watch.

I heard someone comment about the fact that this group of Yankees is so close and so tight and I know the season didn't quite work out the way that they wanted. They did win the American League East, but obviously faltered there in the second half and yet this this excitement this was this energy around Aaron judge is really contagious and they've wanted for him so badly as much as his family or the Marist family that after hours with Amy Lawrence here on CBSSports radio hey it's happening again week we've heard this and seen this before striking a blow strike strike throughout his summer is is you know him so happy we can do this when you got some time off this this group happy for the organization building rides that your manager of the Atlanta Braves on Valley sports Braves following 1/5 straight division title in the NL East and have back of the New York Mets at the start of June so give them credit. We sell them surge without the flexor muscles get healthy come together. They've got such an incredible roster of veterans guys who were part of the World Series last year, but also new guys.

The rookie Spencer Strider.

The look on his face and he excitement for him at the end of one of his questions and interview he gave out or something like that it was some kind of a of a exulting sound that right. I mean, he could've done a Rick flair. I suppose what I'm good at those. I do love to do those every now and then to wake you all up. Okay, so one more and we play this and we got a great concert here in studio two we play this because it's great. It's Alex. Alex and populace who is the general manager of the Braves and see all five division titles in his tenure as the GM so that's great and all, but we mostly plan because we can't figure out if there was someone at the Marlin Stadium who was trying to ruin it by mowing the lawn right behind him. Thinking about it like you might relieve them excited to release you know it's just the fans are showing 1 million friends full batteries. People living in Zion with his theme to you guys. If you feel the pressure field so when the division five in a row. Man's players and coaches. Terry McGurk supports me all the time never panics memberships like freshman things are going well and I cannot say enough about itself was in their office and spraying champagne. I just feel really in the middle of it want to sit back and watch the cities yourself, especially Don Mattingly or the bet.

It's one of the other only okay what all my years working a minor-league baseball what that is. That is a leaf blower somebody on the cleaning crew. They use leaf blowers to go through the seating bowl blowout wrappers and peanut shells and things like that that is 100% a leaf blower somebody on the cleaning crew and I don't know where they got that audio from out of nowhere he standing that there's no hard came closer manning the leaf blower did that on purpose.

That is 100 players and coaches after after the leaf blower operator realizes that he part of an interview, he decides to make it even more obnoxiously loud he comes closer he revs the on things are going well and I cannot say enough about itself. I read the man got a job to do good on Alex forgiven his composure and you think he's laughing or crying their teeth out to get the most of that.

I thought maybe is laughing right behind him. Think somebody just can't assure that one trial and that's when the blower was like, screw you, I'm coming closer and I want drugs that I got a job to do until he was Don Mattingly one last act of protest. Congratulations to Aaron judge 62 is the new 61 and congratulations to the Braves to win that last division title. We do have the matchups. I am not going to steal Greg's thunder guys Mike Valenti for cash the ticket podcast you like sports betting or if you just like sports. It's a broadcast for you. We try to cover all the big games and maybe some of the games you didn't even know were important due to some angles pick some winners have a good time and hopefully help you meander through college and pro football season.

So join us couple times a week to get all your information you need to bet the games that you watch it's cash the ticket on the Odyssey forever. You get your podcasts without further and do better list the matchups that I got you were listening to the after-hours podcast use after-hours. Lawrence was the worst of times for rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett. He made his entry onto the regular-season stage in the second half of the Steelers loss to the Jets on Sunday and he had two touchdowns.

If I remember reading correctly. No rookie quarterback and never had two rushing touchdowns in his debut but don't quote me on that.

It was something along the lines of rookie quarterbacks in rushing touchdown anyway.

He also had three interceptions, Bill Hill Grove on Steelers radio. Well, it was maybe not a big surprise.

But Mike Tomlin named Kenny Pickett the starter for week five. I had a mixture a bit. We have no reservations about what is going be capable of in terms of schematics. Obviously we have a level of concern about the environment we take them into but you have a loving concern about any quarterback that you take into that environment versus that the service in that venue and so that's a component of it, but not a significant component of it outside the usual. In terms of respecting the Sonos maturity at every point throughout this process. The is older than most rookies floating quick decision-making control, like anticipation and things of that nature have proven to be true. That's why we were talking when we were given the opportunity to do so.

Mike Tomlin has no reservations about Kenny Pickett, though obviously it's not optimal to start them on the road in Orchard Park, New York number 5B job opportunity to catch up with the longtime NFL writer and insider Armando Salgado. He's now without kick and Fox and I asked him about this opportunity for Kenny Pickett but you cannot get that answer on her podcast after hours Amy Lawrence.com what I want you to hear from Armando is our conversation about two and the attention the investigation being paid to how the Miami Dolphins maybe didn't take care of their quarterback the way that they could have did they do anything wrong. That's part of the investigation. So I started by asking Armando, but how the NFL and the players Association might move this forward. Make sure that too was held and that scary moment on the field again Cincinnati is not wasted, but it can be a way to improve the process and the protocols right so clearly when people hear me that there is an investigation and a joint investigation by the NFL and the NFL.

There thinking someone is going to get by and people are going. You know, teams are in trouble, players are in trouble. Staff is in trouble and I don't believe that to be the case. Obviously, it was announced over the weekend that the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant was fired that person that is chosen Bible, the NFL and the PA players Association to be the independent person in the room and have no agenda and to be the one could say independently. You Go back into again because you're displaying concussion symptoms. Well, apparently that person you know didn't meet the requisite of whatever the PA and the FL looking to accomplish. Obviously, because by law went into halftime of the Buffalo game could be examined for head trauma, head injury, and came out with a back injury, though that was problematic for everyone who saw the optic.

The thing about it is that I mean the Miami Dolphins from what I can see are very comfortable with having followed.

You know all the rules and having followed the guideline and eat it like what Mike McDaniel has said so we follow the guidelines we do with the doctors hello and you're going to somehow think that were in the wrong that's not how it work and they realize that the optics are bad and they realize that they got really bad when they play the single and 20 suffered a concussion and so he's not playing against the jet on Sunday I wouldn't be surprised if the couple again leave an investigation goes forward as far as you know, quieting the team and things like that. I don't think that result, I have a hard time believing as much. As this was the narrative that Mike McDaniel would put his star quarterback at risk. He genuinely seems to care. I can be naïve sometimes and take people at their word.

But it doesn't seem like this was something that he conspired to do so, then, does that mean the independent neurologist did this on his own or two was somehow convinced him that he was fine. That's crazy because he also stands to lose a job right. I don't think Hua was trying to of anything other than you know. Go ahead and I don't know exactly what they were made by the unaffiliated consultant because the Association and the NFL have not outlined the but as far as Mike McDaniel, you know, so history had sort of a way of predicting what's going to come in the future, the Miami Dolphins have a player on the concussion protocol is been Carter and tight end and he suffered a concussion in the first game and he hasn't played so this guy coach has a history of when there is something tangible and medically provable that the player has a concussion. The players and that's what you done with the kite and that's what you quarterback. Not one of those situations where pushing anybody to get back in again and and and what really weird is that what seemed to be an otherwise tight fraternity go to the next go to a lot of these guys are coming after McDaniel, for whatever reason when their history of handling concussion and the concussion protocol is questionable in and of itself, I saw the quotes in which you describe the Dolphins as having made themselves an easy target right so the reason I Dalton very targeted contract with third investigation involving the NFL or the NFL PA or bold in the last you know like Mott, they were investigated this year for pampering and in the lot eight month year as well with Tom Brady and Shawn Sean Payton of the New Orleans Saints and they were found guilty of pampering and widespread pampering to the point where the owner, even raw, splendid. They had to yield a first-round draft pick is the result and they were also investigated Hankey in 2019, which by the way, from all visual evidence they did some of the recording that I did back then they absolutely did, but they were exonerated for that by the concussion protocol investigation is there for you in memory and oh by the way there be generalized former coach Brian Florida for you know, racial discrimination is also doing multiple other teams and the NFL. The point that I'm making is when you have a new coach without you reputation when you have a recent history of being investigated and may be running out follow some rules you yourself, you lose the benefit of the doubt yes and I think that's what happening to some degree with the dolphin now interesting. I still feel like that's unfair to Mike McDaniel who seems as though he's made it very clear that he would never put a players health at risk. Specifically, as franchise quarterback for the sake of a win, but obviously the conversation has been stirred up all over the NFL. You saw multiple guys hit concussion protocols this week and there was no doubt that they would not be returning to see whether or not the NFL. The NFL PA make any adjustments to their protocols and their concussion practices.
