Astros win 4-2 vs Royals Tues. night @ Daikin! Hunter Brown against the Royals: 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 10 K, 91 pitches, 51 strikes, 36 swings, Brown was dominant, but needed 47 pitches to get his final six outs

The Yankees have crushed the Twins again, but a much bigger problem is staring them down in the American League race. Tampa Bay has finally jumped New York in the betting odds, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber believe the Yankees are running out of time. Shaun Morash still cannot let go, convinced a four-game sweep of the Rays could completely change the division race. The conversation then swings back to Pete Alonso and the Mets fans who celebrated his return. Evan defends fans for showing Alonso love in a lost season while insisting he personally wanted Kodai Senga to strike him out. The debate expands to Jacob deGrom, whether Mets fans would ever root for a former star against their own team, and why Alonso's departure still feels different.

Pete Alonso's dramatic return to Citi Field sparks a fierce debate after Mets fans celebrated his game-tying home run and pushed him into another curtain call. Evan Roberts defends Mets fans for still loving Alonso but argues Pete didn't need to come back out of the dugout after hurting his former team, while the conversation turns to why Alonso's departure still hits differently than Jacob deGrom's. Plus, the Yankees continue their complete domination of the Twins, but Tampa Bay has now moved ahead of New York as the American League favorite. Shaun Morash still has a gut feeling the Yankees could sweep their crucial four-game series against the Rays and turn the division race upside down.

Pete Alonso's return to Citi Field keeps stirring up raw emotions after Mets fans celebrated his game-tying home run and pushed him out for another curtain call. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether the fans crossed a line, whether Alonso needed to come back out of the dugout, and why his departure still feels so different from other former Mets. The Yankees continue owning the Twins, but Tampa Bay has now moved ahead of New York as the American League favorite while Shaun Morash still sees a possible Yankees sweep of the Rays. Plus, the Jets establish their offensive identity with the longest timed drive in franchise history, Jaxson Dart earns praise after his strong start, and Wink Martindale takes an unmistakable shot at Brian Daboll.

With two weeks left in the regular season, the postseason picture is starting to become a little clearer. However, in the American League, the picture is still a little murky, with multiple teams still in the mix in the division and Wild Card races. As five teams look to finish the season strong, which two will be the ones to get the coveted trip to the October dance?On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take a look at the current state of the MLB postseason picture in the American and National Leagues. Will the Chicago White Sox be able to close out the AL Central, or will the Cleveland Guardians swoop in and take it from them? Can the Toronto Blue Jays, with a strong finish, find a way to make it four AL East teams in the postseason as they sit one game back in the Wild Card?Later in the show, Jake and Jordan examine the case for New York Yankees ace Cam Schlittler to win the AL Cy Young and AL MVP. After Yankees captain Aaron Judge made a comment about pitchers having their own award, is the MVP an award that pitchers should win? Also, can Cam hold off other strong candidates like the Houston Astros' Yordan Alvarez and the Tampa Bay Rays' Junior Caminero? 1:59 - The Opener: AL postseason update32:56 - Who will miss out in the NL?48:30 - We Need To Talk About: Schlittler for MVP?58:26 - Turbo Mode: Weekend recap Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Aaron Judge hasn't played a game for the New York Yankees since the final day of May. Since then, the Bronx Bombers have been able to tread water in the American League despite a less-than-impressive offense over the past three months. However, on Monday night, the Yankees activated their captain with hopes that it will be the difference-maker for the team.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the return of Aaron Judge to the Yankees lineup, why opting not to do a rehab stint works out for him with the Colorado Rockies in town, and whether the team will be able to stave off a Boston Red Sox team right on their tails in the Wild Card race.The guys then get into the controversial umpiring from Doug Eddings after he told St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Hancel Rincon to fix his hat, recap an entertaining series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Atlanta Braves, and talk about Shohei Ohtani admitting to probably not pitching again this season. 1:11 - The Opener: Aaron Judge returns22:11 - We Need To Talk About: Doug Eddings goes too far37:43 - Around The League: Phillies-Braves recap49:20 - Corbin Burnes is back52:30 - Shohei Ohtani won't pitch again in 2026 Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Normally we don't start previewing the Seahawks opponents until Wednesday, but the game is on Wednesday so we dive right in. The Patriots have a lot of question marks, but we have a few of our own.

The Huskies win the Apple Cup and just like a lot of other college football teams- they didn't look their best. The game was sloppy, but we should prepare ourselves for some of that to start every season and we should expect some of that for the Seahawks on Wednesday as well. :30- Mariners Morning After It doesn't feel right playing a victory song after that abysmal series against the A's. We should have been talking about the M's almost sweeping the A's instead of the other way around, but the Mariners did win on Sunday. :45- Seahawks/Patriots is just two days away and there's a lot of drama surrounding the Pats. This isn't the same Pats team we saw in Santa Clara 7 months ago. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is there any way to predict how this team will perform against the A's at home this weekend? :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners managed 8 runs for the 3rd straight game as they got a series win in Boston.

Headlines and lineup issues… We were just as mad as everyone else when Laz Montes was left out of yesterday's lineup as the Mariners continue to rely too heavily on matchups.

RYON HEALY (Mariners TV) We get the former player's perspective on the team at this point in the season- coming off the terrible series in Toronto and turning it around in Boston; what happened? Julio made a big mistake on Monday and another base-running error yesterday- how would the dugout react to watching a superstar continue to make mistakes? Randy Arozarena is setting himself up for a big payday. What was it like when Ryon got the call up and what did he think of Laz's debut? Should Laz have been in the lineup yesterday and when do the Mariners shift their philosophies? How dangerous can the A's be with nothing to play for? :30- Lane Kiffin does what he wants! :45- We close out the show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The American League this season hasn't had a completely impressive showing from a wins perspective. While there are many teams under .500, there is one division that has three teams with winning records, as well as two teams that are within two games of reaching the .500 mark, which means we will surely get a dogfight down the stretch. The question now is: how many of the teams in the AL East will make the postseason? On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap an impressive showing this weekend from almost every team in the AL East, which saw the leading Tampa Bay Rays, Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles all sweep their weekend series, as well as the New York Yankees taking three of four from the Boston Red Sox. With the Yankees and Red Sox seemingly locked into a wild-card spot at the very least, and the Blue Jays and Orioles less than two games out of the final spot, it's a real possibility the postseason will feature four of these teams. Later on the show, Jake and Jordan talk about the Los Angeles Dodgers' weekend at Comerica Park against the Detroit Tigers, where Tarik Skubal made his emotional return to the team that traded him just a few weeks ago, as well as how it seems manager Dave Roberts is prioritizing Shohei Ohtani's bat over his pitching for the rest of the season. They then talk about Pete Crow-Armstrong's impressive day, which might have just solidified his first-ever National League MVP trophy, as well as recap all the other action in baseball from this weekend. 1:25 - The Opener: AL Beast 18:59 - Yankees beat the Red Sox 29:35 - Big takeaways from the AL East 32:30 - Field Report: Skubal's return 46:31 - Around The League: PCA for MVP 55:19 - Turbo Mode: Weekend Recap Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
