The Yankees are back on track and gaining in the AL East after a sweep of the Royals while the Rays were swept in Baltimore. Chris McMonigle says the dynamic in the division has drastically changed in a matter of days. He also raved about Gerrit Cole's dominant performance, and how it is the best version of Cole he has seen in his Yankee tenure (7:45). Plus, Cole's return reinforces that there is no way the Yanks are trading for Tarik Skubal (15:15). Chris also sounds off on the continued complaints about the Yankee bullpen (29:30), why Anthony Volpe has earned more time as the starting shortstop (38:00), and why Austin Wells needs to be benched against lefty starters (54:50).

Becky Hammon's old Jalen Brunson take is back in the spotlight, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into whether her criticism still holds up now that Brunson has pushed the Knicks to a new level. The conversation turns into a bigger debate about size, stars, championship standards, and why Knicks fans are not letting this one go. The episode also runs through the New York sports stories getting buried by Knicks fever, including Giants questions, Mets frustration with Carlos Mendoza and David Stearns, Anthony Volpe's role with the Yankees, and Cam Schlittler's rise as one of the most exciting arms in the American League. Evan and Tiki balance serious sports arguments with plenty of radio chaos, caller energy, and New York fan angst.

The Knicks may be dominating the city, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber use Cinco De Luncho to spotlight the New York sports stories getting buried underneath all that Finals fever.

The Knicks are not just going to the NBA Finals, they are doing it with a killer instinct that has changed the way fans and critics view this team. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber discuss why New York's refusal to ease up in closeout games shows a championship mentality, with Jalen Brunson setting the tone and Karl Anthony Towns making it clear that the job is not finished. Evan and Tiki react to fans calling in from the road back from Cleveland, debate whether this dominant run makes the Knicks the team to beat, and explain why their mentality feels different from teams that celebrate too early. They also touch on the Yankees' dramatic win over Kansas City, Anthony Volpe's clutch ninth inning hit, and how a wild swing in the AL East helped New York avoid a damaging stretch.

Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of Mike Breen and the Cavs being very careless with the basketball. Charles Barkley, at halftime, said the Cavs quit. We heard from Jalen Brunson on why they've been so good. The Yankees came from behind to beat the Royals in KC thanks to Anthony Volpe. The Mets lost again and Vientos struck out on a pitch that hit him.

The Knicks swept the Cavaliers in dominating fashion, leaving Boomer in the Twilight Zone over a run reminiscent of the 2007 Giants. Jerry's update featured Mike Breen's call sending the Knicks to the NBA Finals, Jalen Brunson's series MVP honors, and fans screaming outside MSG. Meanwhile, Kenny Atkinson claimed they analytically won two of their first three games, Anthony Volpe's two-run single won it for the Yankees, the Mets dropped their fourth straight to the Reds, and three Astros pitchers combined for a no-hitter. We close with pricey Finals tickets, Fat Joe's courtside drama with the Cavaliers, and Gio demanding Nets fan Evan Roberts sell his tickets.

The Knicks sweep the Cavs to head to the Finals behind series MVP Jalen Brunson, fueling Boomer's 2007 Giants comparison, pricey ticket talk, and courtside drama with Fat Joe and Evan Roberts, while Anthony Volpe wins it for the Yankees, the Mets drop their fourth straight, and the Astros throw a no-hitter. We then credit James Dolan for firing Thibs, hear Charles Barkley claim the Cavs quit, track another Yankees comeback and a bizarre Mets loss, preview upcoming movies, and see Rami take over for Eddie. Next, Jaxson Dart's political rally appearance sparks social media drama, Boomer demands Dart perform like Brunson, Nolan McLean struggles in another Mets defeat, and Jerry Recco waits downstairs for breakfast. Finally, we look at Finals ticket pricing, relive the sweep with Positive Tommy's screams, deliver Boomer's sports minutes impression, and take caller feedback on movie food and Rami's first-day grade.

We continue our Knicks talk as a caller credits James Dolan, whose decision to fire Thibs looks like the key to their dominant run over the last two series. Jerry's update features Mike Breen highlighting a careless Cavs team, Charles Barkley claiming Cleveland quit at halftime, and Jalen Brunson explaining the Knicks' success. In baseball, Anthony Volpe fuels a Yankees comeback against the Royals, while the Mets lose again after Vientos strikes out on a pitch that actually hits him. Finally, Boomer spotlights the upcoming movie Pressure, Gio shares his desire to see Disclosure Day, and Rami officially takes over the position of the retiring Eddie.

Jerry with the sounds of Mike Breen as the Knicks complete the sweep of the Cavs. We heard from Positive Tommy screaming after the Knicks game. The Yankees beat the Royals as Anthony Volpe had the game winning hit. The Mets lost again as Nolan McLean gave up 7 runs. The Moment of The Day: Boomer does his impression of the sports minutes.

Jerry's final update features Mike Breen's call of the Knicks sweeping the Cavs and Positive Tommy screaming after the victory. Meanwhile, the Yankees beat the Royals behind Anthony Volpe's game-winning hit, but the Mets lose again as Nolan McLean gives up seven runs.

Jerry starts with the sounds of Mike Breen as the game comes to an end to send the Knicks to the NBA finals. Jalen Brunson was awarded the MVP trophy for the series. Also, Anthony Volpe had a 2-run single that ended up winning the game for the Yankees. The Mets lost their fourth straight game, this time to the Reds.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner returns with the May 26 edition of What I Bet on the Straight Outta Vegas AM pregame.com podcast feed, covering a critical NHL elimination game and a full 13-game MLB slate in one of the busiest betting days of the early summer. On the ice, Griffin explains why he is not buying the Colorado Avalanche as road favorites against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 4 of the Western Conference Final. The Avs fell 5-3 in Game 3 and now trail 3-0, with Nathan MacKinnon's knee injury after blocking a shot adding serious uncertainty to Colorado's roster situation. Cale Makar returned from his own upper-body absence but Griffin says he never looked fully himself, and the backhand goal from Tomas Hertl that extended Vegas's lead was the moment that defined the game. Golden Knights minus 102 is his play. On the baseball side, Griffin works through every matchup on the board, starting with the Washington Nationals and Cade Cavalli against the Cleveland Guardians and Joey Cantillo, leaning Cleveland at minus 130. He covers the Tampa Bay Rays and Griffin Jax against a bullpen game, with former Rays righty Shane Baz, now an Oriole, having pitched well against Tampa recently, and finds value in the under on total first five at plus 100. He leans to Keider Montero and the under in Detroit against the Angels and Jack Kochanowicz, backs Boston and Ranger Suarez plus 100 over Spencer Strider and the Braves because Strider still needs to prove his return from elbow surgery is complete, monitors Sandy Alcantara and Miami against the Blue Jays and Braydon Fisher in a bullpen game, and sides with the Mets and David Peterson over the Reds and Chase Burns in a battle where plus money is simply too attractive to ignore. Kyle Harrison has been one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball since joining Milwaukee from Boston and Griffin respects him enormously but cannot pay minus 170. He leans under on Cam Schlittler and the Yankees against Kansas City and Bailey Falter after recounting how Lucas Erceg's blown save on a misplaced slider to Anthony Volpe cost him a two-unit win the night before. Joe Ryan and the Twins draw plus money from Sean Burke and the White Sox, making the under on seven and a half the natural lean. The Houston Astros no-hit Texas on Monday and Griffin reads that as a direct statement on how poorly the Rangers have been hitting and how difficult Globe Life Field plays, leaning under against Jack Leiter. Aaron Nola and the Phillies get the nod over Randy Vasquez and the Padres after Vasquez was scratched Monday and slid into Tuesday's spot. Emerson Hancock and Luis Severino shape up as a low-scoring Sacramento game, Eduardo Rodriguez and Tyler Mahle figure to keep it quiet at Oracle Park, and there is simply no case for backing Kyle Freeland and the Rockies at plus 206 in Los Angeles against Eric Lauer's Dodger debut. Griffin's Best Bet is the Pittsburgh Pirates and Braxton Ashcraft at minus 125 over the Cubs and Jordan Wicks, who is making his first big-league start of the season after being recalled from Triple-A Iowa following a stint on the IL.

Take 10 with Tim – May 15, 2026 @ 9:15 – 45 minutes to an hour.1.God help us, but Zebby Matthews looked great yesterday. It was the Marlins, but a line of 7.0 IP, 4 hits, 0 ER, 5K/1BB is pretty awesome. a.What are you doing about him?b.I've held onto him in a couple of Dynasty Leagues, but I think this is a sucker setup.2.The kids are getting called nearly every day.a.On Tuesday, A.J. Ewing was promoted to “save the Mets' season”. Well, the Mets win their first series against the Tigers, and Ewing is 3 for 6, with a home run, a stolen base, 4 walks, and 3 strikeouts.i.I actually have him in all 10 Dynasty Leagues (I think) and started him where I could. What's your take?b.Henry Bolte also gets the call and looks to get plenty of playing time for the Athletics.i.What's your take?c.Order the following for the rest of the season - Waldschmidt, Ewing, Eldridge, and Henry Bolt3.Zach Cole has been on fire since you recommended him on Sunday. Well done! Thoughts for the rest of the season.4.Cal Raleigh hit the IL, a day after breaking a 0-36 hitless streak. Fantasy managers can't be happy with his season – he has seven home runs, but it's come at a cost of a .161 BA and a brutal .243 OBP. Now, he hits the IL with an oblique issue.a.Let's dig into his season to see if we can figure out what's going on.5.Robby Snelling – just brutal. He started one game, looked ok and now hits the IL with a left UCL sprain. That might explain this season's poor control. a.I think it's odd how many pitchers get the call and then seem to go out with an elbow issue. It almost makes you think they know there is a problem but don't speak up until they get on the MLB roster. Yeah, I know this is all conspiracy stuff, but it happens a lot.6.Max Fried hits the IL, and as of this writing, we don't know how long he'll be out. Gerrit Cole is getting close, more once he gets into shape instead of getting his arm stretched out. I heard a bit of grumbling this week in Somerset.

Will he be somebody who interests you this weekend?7.Ohtani seems to be having a better year as a pitcher than as a hitter. With the decision to rest him on pitching days and to assume a few more days off during the season, do you think this time off, coupled with being relegated to DH, will push him down in next year's draft?8.Jacob Wilson hits the IL with a shoulder issue, and it sounds like it will be more than 10 days.

Evan explains why the timing of any injury update could reveal a lot, while the show ends by teasing a debate over whether Suzyn Waldman was trolling Mets fans or simply offering sharp analysis.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to a wild stretch for New York baseball, with the Mets finally showing signs of life behind their young players while still dealing with another injury scare. Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing bring a needed spark, but Juan Soto's foot issue keeps the good vibes from feeling completely safe. The guys also dig into the Yankees' concerns after Max Fried exits with an elbow issue, the offense goes quiet, and Anthony Volpe's return raises more questions than answers. From Mets optimism to Yankees anxiety, this episode captures the uneasy balance between hope, frustration, and the reality of a long baseball season.

The Mets finally have a little life, but even a dramatic win comes with a fresh injury scare. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down the energy brought by Carson Benge, A.J. Ewing, and the Mets youth movement while wondering how much hope is real with Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor, and other key pieces banged up. The guys also dig into the Yankees recent struggles, Max Fried injury concerns, Anthony Volpe's uncertain role, and what it all means heading into the Subway Series. Plus, they react to NFL schedule leaks, the Giants landing early prime time games, the Jets facing a huge Week 1 tone setter, and the usual chaos that comes with fans overreacting to baseball in May.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber continue the Mets conversation by debating whether the team's young players are a real reason for hope or simply a product of injuries and circumstance. The guys weigh the excitement around A.J. Ewing and Carson Benge against the Mets' ugly record, their distance from contention, and the frustration fans feel after another season filled with setbacks. The discussion then turns to Anthony Volpe, whose return to the Yankees brings back familiar questions about expectations, confidence, and whether he still fits in the team's plans. Evan argues that Volpe should no longer be viewed as a top prospect or locked in starter, while the group debates whether he will stay on the roster once Jose Caballero is ready to return.

Anthony Volpe is back with the Yankees, but Evan and Tiki say this cannot turn into another shortstop controversy. Jose Caballero earned the job, and now the pressure is on Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman to prove the Yankees really are operating differently this season. Meanwhile, the Mets finally gave their fans something to feel good about. A.J. Ewing made his major league debut and instantly brought energy, patience, excitement and actual hope to Citi Field. Is he the spark that can help salvage a brutal start, or is this still a lost season with a fun young storyline? Plus, Evan is still furious about the Nets, Sean Marks somehow still has his job, the Yankees look to win their series against the Orioles, and the Mets young core might be the only thing keeping fans engaged this summer.
