This segment is a whirlwind tour through the emotional and on-field struggles of New York sports, framed by Sal's personal life updates. The show opens with a frustrated discussion about the Yankees likely losing the division due to their loss, questioning their ability to succeed in the postseason with a struggling Anthony Volpe at shortstop. The conversation then shifts to the New York Giants and Jets, with insider Brian Baldinger dissecting their week two losses and highlighting glaring issues in both teams' performances. Interspersed throughout the serious sports analysis are comedic anecdotes from Sal, including a disastrous family dinner and his decision to go to an Adam Sandler concert alone, a detail that becomes a running joke and serves as a humorous contrast to the week's grim sports news.

The Angels are in a spiral and are just not getting better. Do you see that changing anytime soon?2.Connelly Early got the call this week for the Red Sox and shoved it against the Athletics. He pitched five shutout innings, striking out 11.a.Thoughts on him for the next few weeks to end the season.b.Payton Tolle has not been very good since he burst onto the scene two weeks ago. Could the same thing happen to Early?c.Jonah Tong also fell back to earth on his second outing against the Reds, giving up four runs in six innings with 6 strikeouts and four walks. And then, got annihilated over the weekend with six earned runs in 2/3 of an inning.d.Order these three young pitchers for the rest of the season and next season?3.Speaking of young pitchers, Cade Horton has been very good this season. He won his 10th game this week, posting a 2.70 ERA but is only striking out just over seven per nine – he has 89 strikeouts in 110 innings. How do you view him for next season? He's a Top ___________ pitcher.4.First, it was Jasson Dominguez losing playing time for the Yankees, and now Anthony Volpe. Who do you feel more confident rostering for next season – Dominguez or Volpe?5.Kyle Tucker hits the IL at the worse time. Moises Ballesteros gets the call. Any interest?6.Rhys Hoskins is finally back but has only gotten one at-bat over his first two games. Is he going to play full-time or just be a guy off the bench with the recent play of Andrew Vaughn?7.Arizona Fall League Previewa.I wrote a large post on Thursday of all the ranked players attending. We will discuss some of the players and who you are looking forward to seeing how they do?8.Listener Questions:a.Mac - Hey Rich, I'd be interested in yalls thoughts on Elly De La Cruz second half of the season? While he has been known to be streaky player the lack of home runs and even his normal stealing pace (past week he has started to get some again) during the second half has been bit confusing. Thanks!b.Collins - Should the Dodgers let Ohtani just come in as a RP in the playoffs and be a shutdown backend bullpen arm? c.Collins - FYPD: Roki was the consensus top pick last year. Of course, I took him. The next two top picks a year ago were Condon and Bazzana. How's that working out? Not great so far. With so many more top picks performing in the top round last year, how did a lot of us miss this, just bad luck or what? (Thinking of Kurtz, Burns, Cam, Cags, etc)d.David - Is O'Neil Cruz a bust at this point?e.Hoppy - Who's your favourite (and least favourite) fantasy baseball player of all time?f.Hoppy - find my interest levels go through natural ups and downs during the season, but no matter what happens in season I always seem come back with renewed vigour preseason, when prospect lists are published and drafts start again. Do you have the same experience and have you ever had thoughts about (gasp!) giving up fantasy baseball?g.Nick - When working a Dynasty League where you can keep anyone you want for any amount of time, what is the cut off of your rankings that you are willing to throw them back into the draft to see what else you can get? Top 300? Top 15 at position? And does that differ slightly on age, like willing to keep someone who is a lot younger or not so much older?i.Context: I am in a 12 team Dynasty league with normal roster positions, with a 15 person minor league roster in CBS. I find myself sometimes keeping too many players so I really only change over 1 or 2 on the active roster, then struggle to figure out who to cut when a prospect gets called up and wonder if I should cut more people out the gate to take some risks, to be willing to cut them for prospects.h.Tim - What are you doing with these last couple of faab periods to prepare your team for next year? 9.What one or two hitters are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?10.What one or two pitchers are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?

Hour 1 The Mets lost again, getting swept by the Phillies. The Mets have a 1 ½ game Wild Card lead with 15 games to play. Even if they get in, are you confident they can do anything? They don't have the same chemistry and confidence that they had last year. They finish up the season against the Marlins, just like in 2007. Tonight they face Jacob deGrom, and Boomer thinks he might throw a no-hitter. Gio said Yankees fans must be loving this after Juan Soto chose the Mets. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Yankees beating Detroit as Aaron Judge hit 2 home runs. He passed Joe DiMaggio on the Yankees all-time HR record. We heard Howie Rose on the call as the Mets lost again in Philadelphia. The final 25 Mets were retired. The Packers are now 2-0 as they beat the Commanders. The crowd was chanting ‘Thank you Jerry' as Micah Parsons had a great game. In the final segment of the hour, a Yankee fan is loving the Mets karma after all the Juan Soto talk in the off-season.

A plot twist in Anthony Volpe's disappointing season. The Mets are a house of cards with a glass jaw.

Ryan and Kris discuss the upcoming Red Sox-Yankees series, the Yankees checking in on Paul Skenes, Anthony Volpe's injury and whether he should be benched, and provide updates on the farm system! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Joe begins the podcast by discussing the Anthony Volpe injury, why they let Volpe go so long, and why the Yankees season is on the line in Boston this weekend (1:03). Then, he talks about the Steve Ballmer-Aspiration allegations and why the NBA needs to get this right (16:57). Finally, Gordon Damer comes back on to give the Week 2 Lock$ in the NFL (32:50), & SO much more!

BT and Sal tore into the Yankees organization for their handling of Anthony Volpe's shoulder injury. The hosts were furious that the team let Volpe play for months with a partially torn labrum, even as his performance plummeted and he faced fan criticism. They accused the Yankees of being either "stupid" for not seeing the impact of the injury or, worse, deliberately hiding it to avoid accountability. The hosts argued that the organization's actions were a disservice to the player, ruining his confidence and potentially his career, all while misleading the public.

In this segment, BT and Sal engage in a fiery debate over who is to blame for the Mets' recent struggles. While a caller points the finger at manager Carlos Mendoza for his quick bullpen hooks, Sal argues that the main culprit is General Manager David Stearns. He critiques Stearns' roster decisions, including the failure to address the rotation's fragility and the botched trade deadline acquisitions, exemplified by the Cedric Mullins trade and the decision not to give Drew Gilbert a shot. The discussion then shifts to the Yankees and the perplexing handling of Anthony Volpe's shoulder injury, with both hosts questioning the organization's lack of transparency and a culture that seems to hinder player accountability and performance. The conversation also includes a brief section on NFL Week 2 parlay picks.

Brandon Tierney and Sal Licata tore into the Mets after their sweep in Philadelphia, questioning whether the players have any fight left. They lamented the team's "lifeless" performance after a promising start in the final game, saying the Mets look like a "dead team walking" and that it's "unacceptable" for a team with their payroll to be collapsing. The hosts also discussed the Yankees' big win against the Tigers, giving their NFL Week 2 best bets, and analyzed the surprising news about Anthony Volpe's injury and the Yankees' handling of it.

An Anthony Volpe injury is revealed, Aaron Rodgers throws shade, Mendy irks Evan, and much more

The Yankees reveal their maligned shortstop got hurt in May, something Morash speculated happened throughout the summer

On today's show, BT and Sal got into a fiery debate over the Yankees' bullpen struggles, with Sal pushing back on BT's faith in reliever Fernando Cruz after his recent meltdown. The discussion then took a surprising turn when they reacted to the breaking news that Anthony Volpe has been playing with a shoulder injury and recently received a cortisone shot, a revelation that may explain his defensive struggles. Wrapping up the show, they shared their "Call of the Day" clip featuring an interview with former Jets wide receiver Wayne Chrebet.

BT and Sal reacted to the news that Anthony Volpe received a cortisone shot for a lingering shoulder injury, a bombshell revelation that may explain his season-long struggles. Sal noted that Volpe's offensive numbers have dropped significantly since he originally hurt his non-throwing shoulder in May, but stopped short of calling it a full excuse for his poor performance. He questioned why the Yankees and Aaron Boone have consistently downplayed the injury, and he and BT debated whether it's a legitimate reason for Volpe's slump or just another convenient excuse for the team's struggles.

Today's word of the day is ‘Jurassic Park' as in dinosaurs as in Raptors as in Toronto Raptors as in Kawhi Leonard as in Uncle Dennis. What am I talking about? Well, a week after the Kawhi and Clippers and Ballmer news dropped, we have a story about his time with the Raptors. A report was released yesterday about what Kawhi's Uncle Dennis requested from the team that is so absurd that it has to be true! (17:30) Jalen Carter will not get anymore games of suspension. Just the game he was ejected from. A fined his game check. Was that enough? (25:30) The Denver Broncos, city and state officials, announced a new stadium project yesterday. Well, that's not true. There are so many things that still need to be done, but the Broncos didn't say that part! (35:00) Review: Highest 2 Lowest. (38:00) The New York Mets are in panic mode. The losing continues. The bad pitching continues. The lack of hitting continues. Uh oh. (45:00) The Yankees blow it again. Just imploded against the Tigers. Anthony Volpe was bad bad bad. Just another game of bad.

Will Aaron Boone ever admit defeat when it comes to Anthony Volpe?

Caleb Williams is using the same nail technician as Angel Reese. Gio's not sure if Chicago Bears fans want to read something like that. Boomer said he needs to get his head out of his ass and start listening to his coaches. A caller said this Mets season is karma for all the trash talking the fans did after they got Juan Soto from the Yankees. Jerry returns for an update, but first Boomer shows a picture from a Ryder Cup event he played in 20 years ago with a bunch of celebrities. Jerry starts with the sounds of the Yankees loss to the Tigers as they gave up 9 runs in the 7th. Sean Manaea had a rough outing in Philadelphia where the Mets lost again. Carlos Mendoza was asked after the game about the possibility of them not making the playoffs. The critics are out in Chicago as JJ McCarthy looked better in game 1 of his career than Caleb Williams did in start number eighteen. Ben Johnson talked about his struggles. Deion Sanders was asked about his starting quarterback for this weekend. In the final segment of the hour, C-Mac, who loves the Yankees, has officially given up on Anthony Volpe. A caller has a wager for Gio for this weekend's boxing match on Netflix.

Hour 1 It feels like we are in the middle of a complete collapse by the Mets. The Mets are on the verge of not making the playoffs, and if they do make it, it will be short lived. To not get as far as last year after adding Juan Soto would be insane. They cannot let Sean Manaea pitch another game this season. Gio said they stink and have stunk for months. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with Kyle Schwarber hitting his 50th HR last night as the Phillies beat the Mets. The SF Giants won, also not good for the Mets. The Yankees had a very rough 7th inning and lost to the Tigers. Aaron Judge passed Yogi Berra as 5th all time in Yankees HRs. Buck Martinez had quite the critique of the Yankees during the Blue Jays broadcast. Chris Long talked about feeling old while watching the YouTube NFL broadcast.

A caller has a wager for Gio for this weekend's boxing match on Netflix. Hour 3 Who is more likely to win this week, the Giants over the Cowboys or the Jets over the Bills? Will the Jets offense look anything like week 1 or was that an anomaly? If the Jets can run the ball like week 1, they will be in every game this year. Gio wonders if Boomer was into the UAP video of a missile being shot at an orb and it bouncing off. We took many calls on the UAP orb. Jerry returns for an update, but first Gio asks him about the alien orb. The Jets are cutting Xavier Gipson because of his fumble this past weekend. Daniel Jones was on Pat McAfee and talked about his big game with the Colts and his poor play with the Giants. Micah Parsons talked about his move to Green Bay after camp. The Yankees had a terrible seventh inning and lost to the Tigers. In the final segment of the hour, a caller wonders if this Mets collapse will be worse than 2007.

WHERE TO BEGIN!! These last two weeks have given us plenty of reasons to scream, positively and negatively...let's get into it. Sonny throws out the first pitch, MLB launches a new Korean-exclusive channel with MC Johnny Suh of NCT17, and a new documentary about MLB's relationship with Japan called DIAMOND DIPLOMACY will be available soon! In position player news, CC Sabathia has words for Anthony Volpe's haters, IKF returns to the Blue Jays and Kim Ha Seong is already thriving at his new home in Atlanta, Bo Bichette is still on an offensive tear, and Lee Jung Hoo's teammates finally give him a taste of his own walk off celebration. Pitching was a wild ride: Jonah Tong debuts in a huge way, Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets one out away from a no hitter...and then the Dodgers lose the whole game, Yu Darvish lets Fernando Tatis Jr. know how he feels, Bryan Woo does not make it through the 6th for the first time all year, and Kodai Senga is sent down to triple A. And lastly, in Ohtani talk - his casual 48 home runs put him in striking distance of another record, he gets his first W as a Dodger, and the comment section thirsts...for him to hit them in the nuts????

BT and Sal tear into Russell Wilson's social media post about being "mentally tough," arguing that a truly tough person wouldn't need to tweet about it. The conversation then pivots to the Giants' long-standing offensive line problems and the growing pressure to bench Wilson for rookie Jaxson Dart. They also tackle the Yankees' struggles, with Sal making the fiery case that Anthony Volpe is a defensive liability who must be benched for the playoffs, while touching on the call of the day about Mets fans' anxieties despite their team holding a playoff spot.

Then, host of Nothing Personal with David Samson stops by to discuss the Yankees embracing the sign stealing, why fans shouldn't be worried about the Blue Jays dropping two out of three in New York, if the Houston Astros have 'championship DNA', Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers building towards that, having experienced managers towards October and if there's cap circumvention across major league sports.  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.
