Best of the Yankees on WFAN: What's going on with George Lombard Jr.?

**Evan Roberts** (0:01)
Can you list off to me the Hall of Famers, any of them that made errors in six straight games? We'll hang up and listen.

**Shaun Morash** (0:08)
So the answer is none, which is great, because it's very rare in baseball you could be the first to do something. And now George Lombard's carved this path, and I think that's awesome.

**Evan Roberts** (0:16)
On a serious note, did you do the research to know? Because maybe there is a Hall of Famer that made an error in six straight games.

**Shaun Morash** (0:22)
Here was my research. The 37 people that I woke up tweeting me, telling me nobody's ever made the Hall of Fame that's made errors in six straight games. That was my research.

**Evan Roberts** (0:29)
Fair enough, fair enough.

**Shaun Morash** (0:30)
I trusted them.

**Evan Roberts** (0:30)
Let's get to your calls. Let's say good morning to Joey D. Who's calling from Bricktown. Hey, Joey D.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:37)
Hey, man. Shaun, what's up, man? I hope you guys are having fun out there.

**Evan Roberts** (0:40)
Oh yeah, yes indeed.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:42)
Shaun, Shaun, listen. Shaun, you're my man, dude, but on this conversation, you're 100% wrong, dude. Evan is 100% right. You can't say no more.

**Shaun Morash** (0:50)
100%, what about 20%?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:53)
Dude, on Tuesday, you were saying the guy's a Hall of Famer.

**Shaun Morash** (0:55)
Now you want to hit him like.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:57)
What do you mean? If you sit him, if you sit him, he's going to be in his head so much.

**Shaun Morash** (1:02)
No, but I think I think we're actually confusing things here, Joey.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:06)
He's hitting the ball, though. You know what I mean?

**SPEAKER_6** (1:08)
Joey, I agree.

**Shaun Morash** (1:09)
But I'm not Joey. Don't you think there's a difference between sitting a guy and benching a guy?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:13)
Yes, of course, yes.

**Shaun Morash** (1:15)
I'm not looking at bench. I'm just saying the guy's allowed to have a breather. He has. He's played every single game since.

**Evan Roberts** (1:19)
But he doesn't need a breather, dude.

**Shaun Morash** (1:22)
You said it was mental, did you not?

**Evan Roberts** (1:24)
Yes, but I think it becomes more mental by exacerbating it by saying I have to sit you.

**Shaun Morash** (1:30)
Hold on. If something is in your head and in your head, how does it end?

**Evan Roberts** (1:33)
Shaun, Shaun, it's not a random off day when you sit him to begin the biggest series of the year. It's a random off day when it's a day game during the week against a nondescript opponent. That's a random, hey, let's give him a breather. It's game one of a huge series between the Yankees and the Red Sox, which will start to break down more and more as this day goes on. In fact, Jerry Rico will break it down when he gets here. I'm going to prove he's a good baseball fan around here.

**Shaun Morash** (1:57)
I'm going to prove something to you.

**Evan Roberts** (1:58)
What?

**Shaun Morash** (1:59)
Tomorrow, the Yankees and Red Sox are playing what, Evan?

**Evan Roberts** (2:01)
They're playing a doubleheader, a doubleheader.

**Shaun Morash** (2:03)
Yeah. Will the Yankees have the same batting lineup in game one as they will in game two? Don't do what you do to me. Yes or no?

**Evan Roberts** (2:12)
The answer is no.

**Shaun Morash** (2:13)
They will have players play in game two that did not play in game one. That is absolutely correct. So if those players that played in game two didn't play in game one, they got what?

**Evan Roberts** (2:21)
They sat down again.

**Shaun Morash** (2:23)
So why is George Lombard any different than anybody that's sitting in a game?

**Evan Roberts** (2:25)
And because you didn't come on the radio today, nor did Tommy. I'll throw him in here because I gave him the credit that it was his idea first and suggest it has to be one of the two games of a doubleheader. You said I need to sit him now to clear his head. That's tomorrow. What about today? Because today is game one of the series. Because if you sit him today, it's a benching, bro.

**Shaun Morash** (2:44)
No, it's not, because then tomorrow he'll be one of three guys that play in both ends of the doubleheader.

**Evan Roberts** (2:49)
I don't understand.

**Shaun Morash** (2:50)
My point is almost every Yankee outside of Cody Bellinger is probably sitting a game this weekend.

**Evan Roberts** (2:56)
We're not talking about.

**Shaun Morash** (2:56)
So why is George Lombard any different?
