Comedian Bill Burr didn't hold back when discussing the New York Yankees' usage of the controversial "torpedo bats."
Several Yankees stars, including Cody Bellinger, Paul Goldschmidt and Jazz Chisholm Jr., have used those bats and got off to a good start. The bat is designed so that it has more mass at its sweet spot and less mass at the tip of the barrel.
On "Late Night with Seth Myers," Burr, who is a Boston Red Sox fan, took a jab at the Yankees' new gear, likening the upgraded bats to a golfer’s crutch.

"I love it," Burr said. "They should do stuff like that. They should turn it into golf. You know how if you suck at golf, you don’t have to get better at it? If you're a podiatrist and you're slicing it, they just design a golf club to make it go straight. The Yankees should go up with those big red plastic bats you teach a three-year-old with.
"I don’t know, it just seems... as a Patriots fan, you know, they're weighing our footballs — and these guys are going, 'Hey, you know that part of the bat you're not supposed to hit it with? Let’s make that the sweet spot too.'"
Bill Burr makes fun of Yankees' alleged spending as compared to Dodgers
The Dodgers have been the biggest spenders in the MLB over the last few seasons. The club has handed out big contracts to the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Blake Snell, Mookie Betts and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
Meanwhile, the Yankees are also a big-market team known to be big spenders. However, Bill Burr thinks they pale in comparison to the Dodgers.
"Listen, they’re just a $275 million team that’s... you know, they're trying," Burr added. "I will say, it’s funny to watch them not even remotely spend as much money as the Dodgers—and then watching the Dodgers completely outspend them. It’s really a funny thing. Just, you know, as a fly on the wall, watching these two cities battling each other.
"New York’s like, 'Everything’s big, we spend the most money,' and then L.A. goes, 'No, you don’t. We’re spending more than you are.'"
