The Gibby Show debuts tomorrow. Available on all major podcast platforms.

 

I wonder how long until the Ted Lilly episode airs?

I'm about halfway through right now. It's pretty good so far. Donaldson is actually a pretty good interview. You can tell he doesn't really like the Yankees or their fans a whole lot. I'd almost say he considers himself a Toronto Blue Jay.

I'm going to check it out later.. I never understood why someone would want to play for the Yanks. Their weird outdated clubhouse rules and their insufferable fanbase.

I forgot JPR was his teammate.

I agree. Yankees can always open up the cheque book which definitely helps and why some players choose to play there. Also, think it has more to do with the legacy players want to have after putting on those Pinstripes. Some players after they retire want to be remembered playing in the Bronx, winning and being associated with the all-time Yankees greats. The big market as well plays a role if someone likes the spotlight and for endorsements etc. The Yankees brand doesn't just apply to New York - it applies to pretty much all over the globe.

 

If I was a player, the Yankees wouldn't even be near my first choice for the reasons you stated. Wouldn't want to shave my beard haha. Obviously, if they offered me the most, I would sign with them. Though money aside, would prefer playing for many other MLB organizations over the Yankees if I were a MLB player or pitcher.

Thoroughly enjoyed that, my favourite part was when JD brought up a great point about Gibbons, was the team had his back as they knew he had there's that's really missing in todays game, good point Josh. Loved that about Gibby. :cool:

No doubt. You're a true Cardinal.

If Chapman leaves as a FA, wouldn't mind seeing the Jays bring back Josh Donaldson especially if his D is still there!

 

 

You may as well throw a hand grenade in the clubhouse. Same effect. And I like JD.

He'd be 38 by then, his stick already showing pretty clear signs of age related decline relative to his former self. .

I'd take him as a hitting coach though...

He's not my first choice obviously, though if nobody else better was available, I would take a flier on him especially if his D is still solid. I don't think he's completely finished with the bat.

I remember him not being impressed when the other yankee players also called him out for that Jackie comment he made.

Going to listen in car on the way home today. I have tried not to read any of these posts past #1 so I have something to look forward to…

 

It's better to watch it, but enjoy.

He's be great, I love listening to him talk hitting, that episode on MLB Central where he and Dero talk hitting was fantastic.

 

Found it... definitely recommend everyone have a watch, I love this s***, but he's no LTBF :rolleyes:...

 

 

LMAO... Dero - "Oh man, where were you 15 years ago?"

There’s another one like this with Arod, Frank Thomas and Pete Rose where Pete was giving them hitting tips and both guys were mindblown. Love watching these types of vids.

Sportsnet should hire Gibby in some sort of capacity.

 

If this is Buck's last season, would love to see Gibby in the broadcast booth with Dan Shulman.

As good as it was,JDÂ’s defense was never as good as Chapmans.
