As we start the post game here, a little listener feedback from Twitter here about our Jim Abbott conversation. Listening to Amin talk about Jim Abbott considering the way he shoots a basketball has me on the verge of punching myself in the face. Please, please, let's talk about Jim Abbott some more. I want that guy to just crest his fist right through his skull. I want him to look like a Looney Tunes character, just elbow sticking out of the front of his face. Jim Abbott, I could do what he could do. Wrap my hand up, put me on, in a major league game.

What's the name of that listener? Let's give him some shine with that stupid ass comment. That guy is right. No, no, he's not. You making fun of a one-handed pitcher. I didn't make fun of him. Did I make fun of him? Yes.

Did I make fun of him? I did not make fun of him. Made light of. I made fun of the guy that gave up two hits to him. In arm and three quarters, I mean. That's not making fun of him, Roy. That's being accurate. That's, yeah, that's. I like accuracy.

I'm sorry, I'm a victim of my own OCD towards accuracy. Excuse me. Except with your jump shot. Gotta measure that. Which is what that guy is mocking when he says you shouldn't be making fun of anyone's athleticism, given what that jump shot looked like

I didn't like since it was somebody who threw a no-hitter with one hand did not make fun of his athleticism Did not even reference his athleticism. I just described him also that was one jump shot It was a victim of viral decontextualization. That is true. Do we have Jim Abbott shooting hoops guys? Can we get that? Thank you. I bet you if if you do, I bet you one thing, it's not gonna be like one handed like Anthony Mason shooting a free throw. He's gonna have his three quarters of an arm playing a part.

It's actually perfect for his jump shot. Exactly. Because it doesn't push his shot in the way. The guide hand, his guide hand is not getting in the way at all, it's just a nub. The guide nub, there you go. Can we put it on the poll? Are having physical limitations a benefit in sports? Sometimes. Okay. Yes, put it on the pole? I'm are having physical limitations of benefit in sports sometimes

Okay, yes put it in there, but put the word sometimes sometimes it's not The nub thing is it's still bothering me it doesn't it I tried looking for another word Dan But I can't find any on the internet every time it doesn't feel right. What do you call it? If it's not I'm not looking we call it a nub. I haven't found something that's a better synonym. I've checked the internet. It seems that nub is the way to go. Nub is descriptive in a way that makes everyone understand. And yet still I find myself thinking this doesn't feel quite right. This feels this, this doesn't feel like the way that we should be discussing this any. Once you get to the

flippancy, the general flippancy of hitting somebody with a nub and just casually again and again saying nub and certainly one and three quarters arms is no better. Look, it's no better. But I don't know what I'm doing because I had great delight in making fun of JPP when he lost a couple of fingers to firecrackers awful you made fun of them that's terrible that well I thought that fingers were and this was a different time so perhaps perhaps this is age poorly as well but I thought

that the losing of fingers was one place the only place perhaps maybe toes where a deformity could be ma. Well there's a significant difference here. That was an injury was on about deformity here. Well, I deformity. Wow, that sounds terrible That's even worse than no really bad Giants owner John Mara who also today said he doesn't know how many fingers JPP has But it was also the way that he lost the fingers right firecrackers Like you just got a explosion and a couple of fingers go flying there's that is also yes a terrible accent there's no disputing that it's a terrible accident how many fingers JPP has I don't agree or approve of any of this you guys are being that's flippin that's you guys are

trying to be funny me I'm saying I got nothing but love for Jim Abbott but it is three-quarters of an arm That is accurate. But play please that Sports Center flash sound because this was said with no irony and it was delivered by a broadcaster being maximum broadcaster on, I'm gonna hit this right at the end before the clock clips me at the end. I'm gonna hit this with news and information.

Giants owner John Mara, who also today said said he doesn't know how many fingers JPP has Happiest that has ever been said Chris lip-sync that perfect It's Kevin Winter and he's an update guy and at the time people were asking well what happened? Why is he hiding his hand? He's had explosives in his hands and then somebody asked the Giants owner and the Giants owner did not have an answer So he's just reporting the news Giants owner John Mara who also today said he doesn't know how many fingers JPP has Shout out to my guy Kevin winter, by the way, it's a good dude man. Great guy worked with him before he's awesome You think not important information to the content

Conversation isn't how many fingers JPP has I don't think he wants to be allies with you given your general performance around the nub. See, I don't feel right saying it. I don't feel right saying it.
