Podcast appearances and mentions of Aaron Judge

Cam Schlittler puts himself in a brutal New York sports debate by naming Aaron Judge the city's king over Jalen Brunson, then risks Yankees fan outrage by choosing Boston's duck boats over the Canyon of Heroes. Shaun Morash, filling in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts, takes it even further by admitting the Knicks' championship parade felt embarrassing and arguing that New York's iconic celebration has lost its magic. Evan pushes back, defending the millions of fans who packed the streets, before the conversation turns to whether the Knicks or Yankees are closest to delivering the city's next championship. Plus, Evan wrestles with whether he could ever trust Alex Rodriguez to manage the Mets.

Gio and Jerry start by pondering potential Mets trade deadline sales, Aaron Boone's wishlist, and the expectation that Aaron Judge won't return this season, before Gio warns of a pending anti-Pete Alonso hit piece. Next, C-Lo brings an update starring Evan & Tiki's "how about that" montage, triggering memories of classic voice-changer slip-ups and Gio's early producer work. To wrap up, President Trump hosts the Dodgers at the White House before their matchup with the Mets, the Yankees return to face the Phillies following Dennis Santana's DFA, Salvador Perez pleads for a fan who jumped in a fountain for a home run ball, and a caller reveals a Boomer shoutout in a new rap track.

It's a Feel Good Summer Friday with Gio and Jerry, but seeing the rare magic of the Knicks' championship has only made Gio feel worse about the Mets' and Vikings' chances, while Jerry pegs a promising Giants team at 10 wins. C-Lo drops his first update starting with Josh Hart's pre-camp joke, Jerry recalls accidentally wiping out Sirius's entire system during training, and Chris McMonigle praises Yankees pitching. Plus, C-Lo doubts Aaron Judge returns this season—making Gio's home run bet a wash—and Clay Holmes faces the batter who injured him. Meanwhile, President Trump and Bryce Harper both mock the Mets, the Giants gear up for West Virginia training camp, Barstool struggles on Celebrity Family Feud, and the guys agree that Bon Jovi's 90-minute concert was actually the ideal length.

C-Lo has a clip of Chris McMonigle praising the Yankees pitching. C-Lo doesn't think Aaron Judge will play again this season. Judge's injury has made Gio's Judge vs Ben Rice HR bet a wash. Clay Holmes made a rehab start last night and faced Spencer Jones, whose line drive injured Holmes in May. President Trump joined the long list of people mocking the Mets. Bryce Harper took a shot at the Mets too. The Giants are getting set for training camp in West Virginia.

John Harbaugh's first speech to the Giants has Evan Roberts ready to run through a wall and openly jealous that Big Blue finally hired a proven, competent head coach. Tiki Barber explains why Harbaugh's authenticity, experience and commanding presence can restore Giants pride, while Evan compares the franchise-changing arrival to Bill Parcells taking over the Jets. The optimism also creates fear. Can one coach really erase a decade of dysfunction, and how long will Harbaugh keep the benefit of the doubt if the Giants keep losing? Evan and Tiki contrast his résumé with Aaron Glenn's uncertain future, debate Harbaugh's 3:30 a.m. text to Jaxson Dart and explain why coaching could finally end the Giants' embarrassing collapses. Plus, they consider whether the Yankees could make a World Series run without Aaron Judge.

What would it mean for Aaron Judge if the Yankees won the World Series without him on the field? Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether Judge would still be remembered as a champion, how fans might use the title against him, and why history often softens the details of who actually participated in a championship run. The conversation also shifts to Max Fried's unexpected return for a doubleheader and why the Yankees are willing to use him in a limited role. Evan and Tiki examine the logic behind treating a recovering starter like part of a bullpen game, along with the roster decisions that could follow his activation.

The Yankees can still win the World Series without Aaron Judge, and the idea that they have no chance without their captain gets forcefully rejected. The bigger question is what a championship drought could do to Judge's legacy, especially if he becomes this generation's Don Mattingly: beloved by Yankees fans, but remembered as a superstar who never won it all. Tiki Barber reflects on being grouped with New York greats such as Patrick Ewing, Mattingly and David Wright, while explaining why the Giants' success after his retirement never bothered him. The conversation also tackles the stunning possibility of the Yankees winning a title while Judge remains sidelined, plus strange jerseys spotted at Disney and the challenge of attending both games of a split doubleheader.

Could the Yankees win a World Series without Aaron Judge, and how would that reshape his legacy? Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether Judge would still be remembered as a champion, how Yankees fans might react, and why baseball history often blurs the details of who actually contributed to a title run. The conversation also turns to Max Fried's return, the value of using recovering starters in bullpen games, and the Yankees roster decisions surrounding his activation. Plus, the debut of the Tiki Time Machine revisits the reaction to Aaron Boone's hiring and asks whether replacing Joe Girardi was ultimately the right move.

Ben Maller talks about the forecast on Aaron Judge's return to the Yankees, Carlos Beltran complaining about the red flags around Astros cheating investigation, the odds of Beltran landing the Mets manager gig, Maller's Mountain of Money: Chris Cornell Edition, and more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jazz Chisholm's latest power surge has Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash convinced the Yankees cannot afford to move him before the trade deadline. His inconsistency remains maddening, but his production in high-leverage moments gives the lineup an October weapon it desperately needs. The debate turns to Luis Arraez, where he would play, and whether the Yankees should sacrifice defense by moving Jazz around the diamond. Uncertainty surrounding Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton makes the deadline even more complicated, while Jose Caballero continues to strengthen his case for more playing time over Anthony Volpe. Plus, Freddy Peralta's brutal return to Milwaukee leads to harsh criticism of David Stearns, and Evan delivers an early NFC East prediction that the Dallas Cowboys will win the division.

Carlos Beltran confirmed the Mets approached him about managing, and Evan Roberts believes his answer revealed something much bigger. Evan predicts Beltran will manage a New York team next season, warning Mets fans that the Yankees remain a legitimate threat if Brian Cashman moves on from Aaron Boone. Tiki Barber hears more hesitation, arguing Beltran may prefer his comfortable advisory role over the risks of managing. Evan also blasts the Mets for firing Beltran after the Astros scandal and explains why the unfinished business still matters. Plus, the crew debates LeBron James' most entertaining destination, reacts to ESPN and NFL Network layoffs, examines whether Aaron Judge truly provides lineup protection for Cody Bellinger, and reaches a breaking point with the Mets, wildfire smoke and an overused wrestling gimmick.

Carlos Beltran confirmed the Mets approached him about managing, but his answer convinced Evan Roberts that he is waiting for the right New York opportunity. Evan predicts Beltran will manage either the Mets or Yankees next season, while Tiki Barber believes Beltran may be too comfortable in his advisory role to take the risk. The debate turns to Aaron Boone's future, the Yankees' past interest in Beltran and the unfinished business surrounding the Mets firing him after the Astros scandal. Evan also argues that Beltran's availability could push Brian Cashman toward a managerial change, while the crew examines whether lineup protection can actually be measured through the pitches Cody Bellinger sees without Aaron Judge.

Jazz Chisholm belts two homers to lead the Yankees to victory last night. However, does any of their current success matter without Aaron Judge in the lineup? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Chris McMonigle dives into a frustrating series against the Dodgers, breaking down the atrocious state of the Yankees' offense, expressing major concerns over a disappointing injury update on Aaron Judge and the severe struggles of Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm, and Anthony Volpe. Looking ahead to the trade deadline, Chris insists the front office must prioritize a new starting shortstop and outlines his ultimate wish list, including Rafael Devers and Mason Miller. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 00:40 - The Elephant in the Room: The Yankees' offense is absolutely awful right now. 3:00 - A deep dive into the offensive black hole at the bottom of the lineup. Chris highlights the struggles of Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm, noting that a starting infield with only one above-average hitter is unacceptable. 10:40 - The Aaron Judge Update: Chris expresses his disappointment over the latest medical update on Aaron Judge, noting that going from "sharp pain" to "dull pain" in six weeks without resuming baseball activities is a massive concern. 15:45 - Game 1 Recap & Gerrit Cole: Despite the offense only scraping together one run on an error and a wild pitch, Gerrit Cole provided a major bright spot with swing-and-miss stuff after some rough outings of late. 23:45 - Defending Boone & Grisham: Chris pushes back against fans criticizing manager Aaron Boone for leaving Cole in too long. He also defends Trent Grisham getting thrown out at the plate, attributing it to a bad base-running read rather than a lack of hustle. 43:00 - Game 3 Bullpen Heroics: A breakdown of the much-needed series finale victory, but Chris had to vent about a frustrating fifth-inning bases-loaded jam. 59:00 - Trade Deadline Wishlist: Chris demands that Brian Cashman prioritize a new shortstop. He also tosses out bold trade targets to save the season, including Rafael Devers, Luis Arraez, and Mason Miller. 1:09:20 - Shill or Shame: Reliever David Bednar earns the "Shill" for his shutdown performance out of the bullpen, while the recently demoted Jake Bird gets handed the "Shame." 1:14:00 - Silver Linings in the Standings: Despite the offensive woes and losing the series, Chris notes that the Yankees actually gained a game and a half on the slumping Tampa Bay Rays, keeping their division title hopes very much alive.

The Yankees offense is drowning, Aaron Judge cannot be counted on to return soon, and Evan Roberts says Brian Cashman now has two weeks to save the season. Evan points to Cashman's aggressive 2017 trade deadline as the blueprint, arguing that New York needs impact bats instead of waiting for Anthony Volpe, Austin Wells and others to suddenly turn things around. Tiki Barber agrees the Yankees can no longer assume struggling players will figure it out, but warns there is no obvious answer on the trade market. With the lineup averaging just over three runs per game for a month, Evan and Tiki debate catcher and infield upgrades, a possible George Lombard Jr. call-up and why every mistake becomes devastating when the Yankees cannot score.

Jalen Brunson has officially replaced Aaron Judge as the active King of New York, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are turning the coronation into law. Every mention must now be “King Brunson,” with a fine for anyone who refuses. Shaun Morash rejects the ruling, declares a “No Kings” protest and threatens to avoid Brunson's name completely rather than bow to the Knicks captain. The argument expands into what truly makes a New York sports king, whether a championship is required and how long Brunson can hold the throne. Then the show erupts again when a caller proposes sending Mets players to the Yankees for George Lombard Jr., sparking a heated fight over prospect value, trade logic and whether Evan is disrespecting the Yankees' prized young player.

The discussion spans a potential WWE career for Tom Brady, evaluating his recent public run-ins with Logan Paul and how a professional wrestling storyline might be better booked. They also break down the Yankees' struggles without Aaron Judge and examine a trade rumor involving Freddie Peralta returning to Milwaukee. 01:51 - Jet Roberts and the Archives 05:01 - Freddie Peralta Trade Rumors 10:39 - Mets vs. Brewers Preview 13:50 - Artie's Soccer Frustrations 19:12 - Yankees Record Without Judge 24:06 - Evan's Airport Mishap 27:32 - Dodgers and Phillies Analysis 33:34 - International Soccer Discussion 38:13 - Mets Prospect History 41:29 - Tom Brady WWE Rumors

The Yankees cannot score, Aaron Judge cannot be counted on to return soon, and the pressure is now squarely on Brian Cashman. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber argue that New York must stop waiting for struggling hitters to figure it out and aggressively upgrade an offense averaging barely more than three runs per game over the past month. Evan believes Cashman can recreate the franchise-changing impact of the 2017 trade deadline, while Tiki warns that standing pat and trusting the current roster is no longer acceptable. The conversation turns to possible catcher and infield upgrades, whether top prospect George Lombard Jr. could provide a spark, and why every defensive or baserunning mistake becomes magnified when the lineup cannot produce. Evan also calls the World Cup final an abomination, the surging Red Sox and Orioles create more anxiety, and Joe Davis infuriates the crew with another shot at the Yankees.

The Yankees salvage their series against the Dodgers. But given the Aaron Judge news, should Brian Cashman be more aggressive at the trade deadline? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Munaf Manji talks betting for Monday. Munaf Manji goes solo on this edition of Cash That Ticket, holding down the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed on Monday, July 20, 2026, while his usual co-host handles a personal matter, and he wastes no time diving into a packed MLB second half slate just a day after Spain claimed the 2026 World Cup title, with college football, the NFL, and the EPL all now less than seven weeks away. Munaf opens with a quick look back at Sunday's doubleheader split between the Yankees and Dodgers before turning to the night's marquee matchups, starting with Joe Ryan and the Twins traveling into Cleveland to face Tanner Bibee and the Guardians, a matchup he frames as a likely low scoring affair and ultimately builds into his top play of the day, the first five innings staying under four total runs. From there he shifts to Yankee Stadium, where Braxton Ashcraft and the Pittsburgh Pirates take on Ryan Weathers and a Yankees offense that has struggled to generate runs without Aaron Judge in the lineup, leading Munaf to back the Pirates on the money line. He then breaks down a series opener in Philadelphia between Emmet Sheehan and the Dodgers against a red hot Christopher Sanchez, who Munaf argues belongs in the National League Cy Young conversation given his dominant numbers at home, structuring his play around the Phillies on the run line rather than the straight money line. The show spends real time on the Boston Red Sox, winners of thirteen straight games, as they host the streaking Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park in a matchup with direct implications for the tightening American League wild card race, with Shane Baz opposing Payton Tolle and Munaf ultimately favoring the Red Sox across the first five innings rather than laying the bigger number on the full game given recent bullpen concerns. Munaf also previews a high total matchup at Wrigley Field between Jack Flaherty and the Tigers against Jameson Taillon and the Cubs, where strong winds blowing out are expected to boost scoring, along with a brief mention of the Miami Marlins as a value side against Ronel Blanco and the Astros. Before wrapping the show, Munaf reminds listeners about pregame.com's promo code STAR25, good for twenty five percent off any purchase on the site, including a discounted second half MLB all access package that covers every pick through the World Series, and shares that he is running a strong profit margin in MLB betting since he began tracking results back in mid-May. The episode closes with a recap of the top play of the day, the Twins and Guardians staying under four runs through the first five innings behind Joe Ryan and Tanner Bibee, and a preview of tomorrow's show, when Munaf's usual co-host is expected to return and the two plan to pick back up their ongoing coverage of MLB alongside their season long series ranking NFL win totals as football season approaches.

The fantasy landscape is bracing for impact as dominant MVP frontrunner Aaron Judge remains entirely shut down from physical activity, stalling his recovery timeline indefinitely. Corey Pieper breaks down a high-stakes pitching landscape, devastating long-term prospect injuries, a seismic trade market update, and the latest FanDuel Bet of the Day. Roster managers face massive late-season fallout as Aaron Judge remains unable to resume baseball activities, Christian Walker exits early with acute hip tightness, and dynamic infielder Jeremy Pena suffers yet another frustrating physical setback. The pitching front is equally turbulent as the Chicago Cubs aggressively trade for right-hander Aaron Civale, the high-octane duo of Mick Abel and David Festa are both declared out for the season, Casey Mize exits his latest start early, and JoJo Romero lands on the injured list. Fortunately, reinforcement is on the horizon with Jameson Taillon's return imminent, Ranger Suarez tracking to be activated tomorrow, and Ronel Blanco scheduled to pitch Monday, though managers must monitor Will Smith's recurring neck issues, Samuel Basallo handling right shoulder discomfort, Shohei Ohtani being withheld from the mound, Corbin Carroll's daily status, and Blaze Alexander's long-term absence with a broken hand. An absolutely loaded performance slate features a masterclass on the bump and offensive explosions. Chris Sale fired seven dominant frames of zero-earned, two-hit ball with six strikeouts, Gerrit Cole struck out eight across six high-quality frames, and Jake Bennett, Pete Lambert, Brady Singer, Landen Roupp, Jared Jones, Brandon Pfaadt, Tarik Skubal, JT Ginn, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Paul Skenes, Shota Imanaga, Hunter Greene, and Logan Gilbert all logged stellar outings, while Troy Melton dueled Reid Detmers, Shane Bieber battled Davis Martin, Sean Burke matched up with Trey Yesavage, and Eury Perez went head-to-head with Robert Gasser. At the plate, Trea Turner and Fernando Tatis Jr. both went completely electric by blasting a home run and swiping a bag on Saturday, Jose Trevino launched two home runs, and huge performances rolled in from Junior Caminero, Sam Antonacci, Drake Baldwin, Ryan Jeffers, Elly De La Cruz, Spencer Steer, Andres Chaparro, Curtis Mead, Kody Clemens, Wilyer Abreu, Shane Drohan, Spencer Torkelson, Hunter Goodman, Jackson Merrill, Nolan McLean, Austin Riley, Francisco Lindor, Esmerlyn Valdez, Ty France, and Tyler Stephenson. Conversely, Christian Walker's night was cut short, Jonathan Aranda bottomed out with an 0-for-7 doubleheader collar, and Griffin Jax, Gage Jump, Rhett Lowder, Ian Seymour, Jake Bauers, Eduardo Rodriguez, Cam Schlittler, Noah Cameron, Zebby Matthews, and Munetaka Murakami all landed in the duds column. Our weekly Waiver Wire segment delivers deep-dive evaluation on priority targets available in more than 60% of leagues, isolating the long-term roster utility of Caleb Durbin, AJ Ewing, Ryan Jeffers, Bryce Eldridge, Garrett Mitchell, Shane Drohan, Roki Sasaki, and Kade Anderson.

Craig Carton and Willie Colon break down a packed Monday on The Carton Show! Craig sounds off on Giants rookie Cam Skattebo after his viral backflip at Fanatics Fest nearly ended in disaster. Is the young star being reckless before playing a single NFL game? The guys also debate whether Yankees fans are overreacting after losing 2-of-3 to the Dodgers. Despite the series loss, did New York prove it can hang with baseball's best even without Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Max Fried?

Chris McMonigle dives into a frustrating series against the Dodgers, breaking down the atrocious state of the Yankees' offense, expressing major concerns over a disappointing injury update on Aaron Judge and the severe struggles of Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm, and Anthony Volpe. Looking ahead to the trade deadline, Chris insists the front office must prioritize a new starting shortstop and outlines his ultimate wish list, including Rafael Devers and Mason Miller. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 00:40 - The Elephant in the Room: The Yankees' offense is absolutely awful right now. 3:00 - A deep dive into the offensive black hole at the bottom of the lineup.

Well they lose to the Dodgers, but there's a lot more to unpack than the final results. In this episode, we talk about the division race, Gerrit Cole's encouraging outing, standout pitching overall, the lineup's struggles without Aaron Judge, the growing need for right-handed bats, and why home runs continue to drive success.0:00 Intro0:21 No Need To Doom!7:01 Game 1 Recap & Thoughts9:56 Tip Of The Cap (Starter): Cole17:01 Game 2 Recap & Thoughts21:24 Game 3 Recap & Thoughts23:19 Yankees Pitching + Matt Blake Gems29:17 Tip Of The Cap (Reliever): Headrick30:51 Homers Are Paramount (Obviously)35:21 Struggling Without Judge38:31 Left-Handed Pitching42:06 Tip Of The Cap (Position Player): Jazz43:10 Up Next43:32 Outro*SUPPORT THE POD*https://account.venmo.com/u/Robert-Carbone-Jr-28Audio

With every baseball team back in action tonight following the All-Star break, with the exception of the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, who returned on Thursday, it's time to take a look at some of the biggest headlines of the second half of the season. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman dive into key player returns, possible trades, and award races, including when Aaron Judge might return to the New York Yankees and whether the Detroit Tigers will trade Tarik Skubal.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner returns with a new episode of the What I Bet Podcast on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed from the Pregame.com Podcast Network, diving into a loaded Friday, July 17th Major League Baseball card while riding a strong recent stretch of 5 and 2 in his last 7 picks, 7 and 3 in his last 10, and 10 and 5 in his last 15. The episode opens with an early matinee between the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox, featuring Griffin Jax against rookie left hander Jake Bennett, before moving into the marquee matchup of the night as the Los Angeles Dodgers visit the New York Yankees with Roki Sasaki opposing Gerrit Cole, a game complicated by the possible absence of Shohei Ohtani and the continued absence of Aaron Judge. Warner works methodically through the rest of the card, breaking down Jared Jones against Gavin Williams as the Pittsburgh Pirates travel to face the Cleveland Guardians, a matchup that becomes central to the episode. He also covers Anthony Kay and the first place Chicago White Sox against Spencer Miles and the Toronto Blue Jays, Cal Quantrill and the Texas Rangers against a red hot Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves, and Sandy Alcantara leading the Miami Marlins against Logan Henderson and the Milwaukee Brewers. From there, Warner turns to Bailey Ober and the Minnesota Twins against Colin Rea and the Chicago Cubs, citing possible wind conditions at Wrigley Field, along with Dean Kremer and the Baltimore Orioles against Peter Lambert and a Houston Astros bullpen bolstered by the return of closer Josh Hader. He continues through Michael King and the San Diego Padres against Seth Lugo and the Kansas City Royals, Brady Singer and the Cincinnati Reds against Gabriel Hughes and the Colorado Rockies, Troy Melton and the Detroit Tigers against Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels, Cade Cavalli and the Washington Nationals against Gage Jump and an Athletics club currently playing in Sacramento, and closes the card breakdown with Landen Roupp and the San Francisco Giants against a surging Bryce Miller and the Seattle Mariners. Along the way, Warner shares a major promotional code, base25, offering 25 percent off any purchase at Pregame.com including his own season long MLB All Access package, dropping the price from 349 dollars to 262 dollars before the offer expires on July 27th, while noting he is up 21 and a half units of MLB profit on the season. The episode closes with Warner's official best bet, backing the Cleveland Guardians and Gavin Williams at minus 129 after building his case around Cleveland's pitching depth and bullpen advantage over Pittsburgh throughout the show.
