As Jimmy Jomboy OBrien and Jake Storiale prepare for their first full MLB season operating out of their new office in the Bronx, the duo hasan array of exciting plans and new shows set to launch on their popular and rapidly expanding baseball outlet, It all started with OBrien spending his days hustling and building up his network and merchandise store over the years. One video that he produced in particular, however, jettisoned his name and brand into stardom almost overnight. This famous video, of course, is the savages in the box clip. Yankees manager Aaron Boone was caught on a hot mic from MLB
Ben Gedeon Jersey field cameras cursing at an umpire over a call that went against Brett Gardner. The outfielder was then spotted banging his bat against the top of the dugout in the background. Now, fast forward almost four years later and OBrienalongside his partner Storialehave received $1 million dollars in funding from several big-name investors to continue to expand their popular media company. This funding allowed them to go out and sign one of the top free-agent broadcasters in
Desmond Howard Jersey all of sports media: longtime MLB host Chris Rose. MLB Network elected not to renew the host's contract last December and Jomboy Media pounced.We thought there was no way we could add Chris given our budget,"OBrien and Storiale told in an exclusive interview."Then a couple months later, we heard he was trying to do something in baseball. We wanted to raise our funding to get more talent and properties on the network. Once we found out he was available, we went out and got him.Rose hosted the popular MLB Network program for 11 years with former big leaguer Kevin Millar. Rose now brings his talents to Jomboy Media with a new and unique show called The Chris Rose Rotation, featuring a number of rotating co-hosts and current MLB players like Archie Bradley, Steven Brault, Lucas Giolito, Tyler Glasnow, Trevor May and Miguel Rojas.We think this will be one of the premier destinations for baseball fans seeking a peak behind the curtain, said OBrien.There are a lot of people out here that want to relate to these guys. They want to hear about the party in the clubhouse after the game."Adding Rose was a big step, but O'Brien's company is far from done.We have some more shows that we are announcing soon," he added. "Once the season starts, we are looking forward to getting to work. We are doing a big opening day live stream with the Yankees game during the day and the Mets game at night.Scroll to ContinueSpeaking of the Yankees, OBrien and Storiale also chopped it up about New York's starting rotation,
Willie Henry Jersey a unit that heads into this season with several question marks.There are still question marks," O'Brien said. "Im getting a little more positive on some of the guys like Jameson Taillon. We will see about Corey Kluber once he gets out there. Fingers cro sed, but they have a lot of options. Their offense should give their pitching staff the flexibility to have four guys and then a rotating fifth starter."OBrien and Storiale believe
Devin Gardner Jersey we could even see the Yankees begin the season with a six-man rotation in order to try to preserve innings for their starters.I think teams are going to come in expecting the worst. So, I think they are going to baby some guys, said Storiale. The second half of the season is going to be interesting. Are guys going to get ga sed when they start hitting the 100 innings mark? Are guys coming off injury going to be more fresh throwing le s innings?New York has a few options competing for the No. 5 spot in their rotation and while talented youngster Deivi Garca was initially seen as the favorite, OBrien has another prediction. I think its going to be Domingo Germn and maybe Jhoulys Chacn to start the season. You can give Garcia some innings in Triple-A. I actually think theyll go with a six-man rotation early on. I think Deivi will be involved, but I wouldnt say hes a lock. If Garca is more likely to be a part of the postseason roster, you have to keep him fresh by giving Germn and Chacn the innings to start the year.It's still unclear how New York will line up at the back end of the rotation come Opening Day, but two things are for certain as April approaches. The Yankees are poised to contend for an AL East division title
