BT and Sal laid out their projected—and sometimes aggressive—Game 3 Yankees lineup, with the biggest disagreement centered on Giancarlo Stanton. Sal believes the Yankees will keep Stanton's bat in as the DH against a lefty, but BT predicted a "ballsy" move, forecasting Stanton to be benched due to his poor recent at-bats, even in a do-or-die situation. Both agreed on a top three of Goldschmidt, Judge, and Bellinger, but their middle-of-the-order and third-base options differed, highlighting the difficult, high-stakes decisions facing the Yankees in their final lineup.
Sal and BT dissected the Yankees' Game 2 win, praising the team's resilience and the performance of young players like Anthony Volpe, who is shining in the postseason. However, the hosts remain critical of Aaron Boone's managerial decisions, specifically his perceived lack of "feel for the game" and his reliance on analytics, which led to key players like Ben Rice being benched in Game 1. The biggest point of contention now shifts to the elimination Game 3 lineup, with the hosts demanding that Boone keep the team's best offensive players, including Rice, on the field, regardless of the matchups, to secure the series win.
Sal and BT agreed that the Yankees only narrowly escaped a loss, which they attribute to Red Sox mistakes and Aaron Boone's persistent lack of "feel" for the game. While Boone's decision to stick with Rodón was debated, the core criticism was his baffling lineup choices, particularly sitting Ben Rice in a must-win situation. Sal emphatically argued that Rice is the team's second-best offensive player and must play regardless of the opposing pitcher, accusing Boone of overthinking matchups and analytics instead of simply playing his best available players in an elimination game.
BT and Sal dove into Anthony Volpe's recent uptick in performance, particularly during the playoffs, with a caller suggesting he has been an under-the-radar asset since receiving a cortisone shot for a shoulder injury. While acknowledging his improved play—especially his defensive consistency, which was a major liability earlier in the year—Sal remained skeptical about his long-term ceiling, questioning what the "excuse" was for his first two years of inconsistency. Ultimately, both hosts agreed that if Volpe can maintain his defensive competence, his speed and occasional power make him a viable, high-upside option at the bottom of the lineup, but the key is him not being a defensive screw-up.
BT and Sal debated the Yankees' crucial Game 3 lineup, with the discussion heating up around whether Giancarlo Stanton should be the designated hitter. Sal argued that even with Stanton's inconsistencies, his potential to smash a home run against a lefty starter is too valuable to bench, preferring to "go down with big G swinging." BT, however, suggested the radical idea of benching Stanton entirely to utilize Paul Goldschmidt against the lefty starter for better defense and a more favorable matchup, while keeping the hot-hitting Austin Wells and Ben Rice in the lineup. The hosts agreed that Boone has a tough, potentially explosive, decision regarding who sits among Stanton, Goldschmidt, Rice, and Wells.
Sal and BT argue that no matter which team survives the stressful, high-leverage Wild Card series tonight, they will enter the next round against the Toronto Blue Jays at a massive disadvantage. The toll of a three-game series—especially on the bullpens—means the winning team will limp into Toronto with tired arms and high pitch counts on their best relievers. While the momentum of a series win is nice, the physical exhaustion gives the rested Blue Jays a significant, potentially insurmountable, edge in the Division Series.
Sal and BT dove into their NFL Week 5 Power Rankings, and while four of their top five teams overlapped, their ordering and reasoning were wildly different. Sal's Number 1 is the Lions, impressed by their all-around game, with the Bills at Number 2 and the undefeated Eagles at Number 3, noting Philly hasn't been dominant enough. His most fiery pick was the Denver Broncos at Number 5, believing their defense and coaching will lead them to a strong finish. BT, however, rewards the Eagles' unblemished record with the Number 1 spot, keeping the Lions at Number 3 and putting the Rams at Number 4, bumping the Broncos out in favor of his belief in the Chiefs' pedigree at Number 5.
Sal, BT, and Emmanuel Berbari break down the decisive Game 3 of the Wild Card Series between the Yankees and the rival Red Sox. The fiery discussion focuses on the crucial importance of the Yankees' offense coming alive early, especially against a young, soft-tossing Red Sox starter, to take advantage of Boston's exhausted bullpen. The crew also dissects the Yankees' potential lineup decisions, bullpen strategy (including the usage of Devin Williams and Fernando Cruz), and the need for greater accountability and a less sloppy approach at the plate to avoid a season-ending loss.
Sal and BT opened by calling out the double standard in New York sports media, noting there's no "outcry" for Kings coach Mike Brown playing Josh Hart in a preseason game, contrasting it with the constant scrutiny of Tom Thibodeau. They then welcome Emmanuel Berbari to dive deep into the crucial Yankees-Red Sox Game 3 Wild Card matchup, analyzing potential aggressive moves from Boone, the bullpen situation, and the controversial decision to pull Rosario in Game 2. The segment also featured a funny "Call of the Day" about mispronouncing Caballero and a classic Sal rant about Yankee fans who still bring up Juan Soto instead of focusing on their own team's playoff run.
Sal and BT dove into the Yankees' tough Game 3 lineup decisions against a lefty, debating whether to prioritize Giancarlo Stanton's power over better defense and Ben Rice's bat, especially given Stanton's poor performance. Switching gears, Sal expressed his strong disappointment with the Knicks' hiring of coach Mike Brown, fearing he's the opposite of the disciplined approach the team needs. Finally, they unveiled their NFL Week 5 Power Rankings, with both hosts struggling to rank teams outside the top three and making a few surprising picks like the Broncos and Rams cracking the top five.
Sal and BT furiously debated the Yankees' crucial Game 3 lineup, with the main contention being whether manager Aaron Boone would have the "guts" to bench Giancarlo Stanton against a left-handed pitcher or if he'd sit the hot-hitting Austin Wells. They projected differing lineups, with BT predicting Stanton would sit and Wells would play, while Sal thought Boone would keep Stanton in. The duo also highlighted the major disadvantage the Yankees bullpen faces heading into the next round against Toronto due to heavy usage in the current series, making a high-scoring effort imperative in the elimination game. The segment ended with a check-in on a seemingly sick Hoff and a humorous digression about the impossibility of winning arguments with a spouse—a sentiment they equated to being a baseball manager.
BT and Sal are fired up after the Yankees' hard-fought Game 2 win against the Red Sox, which forces a dramatic, winner-take-all Wild Card Game 3 at Yankee Stadium. They acknowledge the Yankees capitalized on Boston's sloppy play and mistakes to secure the victory. The main topic of contention for the finale is the lineup construction against the opposing lefty starter, with Sal adamantly declaring that the team's "second-best offensive player," Ben Rice, must play—no matter the matchup—as the Yankees must go down with their best players on the field. They stress the energy in the stadium will be "nuts" and the Yankees need to be "buttoned up" to advance.
BT and Sal dive into three random, but fiery, Yankees-centric questions following the team's Game 1 Wild Card loss. The questions debated are: (1) Are you more likely to wear a luchador mask to a game or give someone who does the finger up? (2) Better rivalry: Yankees-Sox or Cardi B and Nicki Minaj? (3) If the Yankees win the series, will BT be doing shots with players like he did with Saint John's? The discussion ignites a debate over the fading Yankees-Red Sox rivalry, the nastiness of celebrity feuds, and the aggressive baserunning strategy needed in a tight playoff game.
Sal and BT dissect the Yankees' Game 1 loss, acknowledging Garrett Crochet's "filthy" pitching performance that stifled the elite Yankee lineup. However, they transition to a fiery focus on Game 2, asserting that the Red Sox have already used their best asset. They argue that the pressure is now squarely on the Yankees' offense and pitcher Carlos Rodón to dominate an easier matchup, with a guaranteed win all but expected by Aaron Boone. The hosts challenge the Yankees to live up to their billing, suggesting that a better effort and a definitive offensive explosion are necessary after seeing the best the Red Sox have to offer.
Sal and BT furiously dissected the Yankees' Wild Card Game 1 loss to the Red Sox, leveling criticism directly at Aaron Boone and the organizational reliance on predetermined scripts over "feel for the game." The central issue was Boone's decision to pull ace Max Fried for Luke Weaver, a move they both deemed a mistake, regardless of the results. The discussion also covered the subpar performance of the offense, Jazz Chisholm's "childish" and "disrespectful" post-game avoidance of the media, and Aaron Judge's clearly compromised arm strength in right field, which the Red Sox aggressively exploited. They argued the loss was an "unmitigated disaster" that exposed the Yankees' long-standing structural flaws.
Sal and BT furiously dissected Aaron Boone's managerial decisions in the Yankees' Wild Card game loss, calling it an "unmitigated disaster." The primary critique centered on the premature pull of ace Max Fried, who was clearly still effective, in favor of a struggling Luke Weaver, a move they believe was based on predetermined, data-driven "soft landing" planning rather than a feel for the game. Both hosts agreed that Boone's decision-making—which included a poorly constructed lineup and questionable double-switch—was symptomatic of a larger organizational issue where adherence to analytics trumps on-field situational awareness, ultimately costing the Yankees a critical postseason victory.
Sal and BT dissected Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s "childish" and "immature" behavior following the Yankees' loss to the Red Sox, which saw Chisholm turn his back to the media after the game. Sal argued that Chisholm, who failed to deliver a clutch hit after being benched, should face the music and stop being "selfish," while BT called the move a "bad look" that goes against the "Yankee way." They agreed that the move was likely motivated by Chisholm being upset about not starting, which they also criticized manager Aaron Boone for, especially after Chisholm still ended up in a tough spot against a left-handed pitcher in the ninth inning.
Sal and BT expressed strong displeasure with the best-of-three Wild Card Series format in baseball, arguing that it is far too "abrupt" to settle a 162-game season. Sal, a self-proclaimed baseball purist, believes the sport would be better served by a shorter regular season and an expanded, longer postseason, specifically advocating for at least a best-of-five format for the Wild Card and best-of-seven for the Division Series. While acknowledging the financial complexities, both hosts agreed that longer series would result in more drama, more meaningful games, and a truer representation of the better team advancing.
Sal and BT furiously dissected Aaron Judge's clear arm troubles in right field during the latest game, noting that opposing teams are now actively exploiting his inability to make strong throws. BT highlighted a significant drop in Judge's average throwing velocity, suggesting his arm is "incredibly compromised" and confirming that teams are running on him "every single time." Both hosts criticized the Yankee organization's deflection of the issue, with Sal dismissing a reporter's question about Judge "mailing it in" as disrespectful, and both agreeing that Judge's limited arm strength will be a continuous "problem" for the remainder of the season.
Sal and BT debated the outcome of Game 2 after the Yankees narrowly lost a hard-fought Game 1 against Boston's ace. Sal maintained his belief that the Yankees are fundamentally a better team and predicted they would win, arguing that without their best pitcher, the Red Sox simply don't have the offense to compete. However, the co-hosts acknowledged the immense pressure of a must-win game at home, with Sal warning that if the game turns into a "slog," the silence in Yankee Stadium could become "eerie" and a burden that rattles the home team. Ultimately, despite some lingering doubt, both expected the Yankees to win and expose the Red Sox's lack of offensive depth.
BT and Sal ripped into the Yankees' Game 1 loss, acknowledging that Garrett Crochet was dominant but arguing that the Red Sox "threw their best shot" and still barely won. They agree that the Yankees are the better team and must win Game 2 tonight, with Sal challenging the team to show up now that the Red Sox have exhausted their ace. The discussion focuses on the critical need for Rodón to be solid and for the Yankees' bats to provide an early cushion, as they look ahead to a potential Game 3 and the ALDS against Toronto. Both hosts firmly believe the Yankees will ultimately take the series.
Sal and BT dissected the Yankees' Game 1 Wild Card loss, pointing out that all of the team's season-long flaws—poor hitting against elite pitching, bullpen struggles, and questionable managerial decisions—resurfaced at the worst possible time. Sal argued that manager Aaron Boone disastrously managed the game, especially by pulling Max Fried too early for a struggling Luke Weaver, while BT worried about Aaron Judge's diminished arm strength. They agreed that the best-of-three Wild Card series format is brutal and unforgiving, leaving the Yankees with little margin for error as they face a must-win Game 2. The discussion shifted briefly to the sheer madness of the MLB playoffs, with the Guardians inexplicably giving a prospect, Chase Delauter, his Major League debut in a postseason game.
Sal and BT dissect the Yankees' Game 1 loss, focusing on manager Aaron Boone's controversial decision to pull Max Fried early, which Sal argues proves Boone doesn't trust his best pitcher. The conversation explodes when a new rookie on the Cleveland Guardians drops a routine pop-up in his MLB debut, leading to a fiery rant about the low quality of some playoff teams. Finally, the hosts pivot to the Mets' and Yankees' front offices, demanding a deep, critical review of their roster construction and managerial decision-making, while reviewing a caller who vehemently blames Boone and the team's analytics-driven approach.
Sal and BT furiously dissected the Yankees' Wild Card Game 1 loss, tearing into manager Aaron Boone for his controversial decision to pull ace Max Fried, a move they argue proves Boone lacks a "feel for the game" and relies on pre-programmed analytics. The hosts went scorched-earth on the team's structural flaws, highlighting Aaron Judge's compromised throwing arm being exploited by the Red Sox and calling out Jazz Chisholm's "childish" reaction to being benched. The discussion evolved into a fiery demand for the Yankees (and the Mets) to conduct a deep, critical review of their rosters and management, capping the segment with a rant about a rookie's embarrassing error that symbolizes the low quality of some playoff teams.
BT and Sal delivered their own fiery projected lineup for Game 2, completely rejecting the analytically-driven "platoon" approach that kept star left-handed hitters Ben Rice and Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the bench in Game 1. With the Yankees facing elimination, they argued for ditching the data and prioritizing the team's best, most explosive bats against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. They specifically called for Rice to hit high in the order, potentially second, believing the fear he instills in the opposing pitcher is more valuable than any left-on-right matchup data, demanding the Yankees stop overthinking and start putting their best players on the field to simply win.
Today's Call of the Day featured a fiery fan named Nick who passionately blamed the Yankees' struggles on the team's reliance on analytics and "Harvard graduate pencil necks" in the front office. He argued that the current Yankees regime lacks a winning spirit—unlike the late George Steinbrenner, who "hated losing more than he loved winning"—and highlighted the lack of a reliable bullpen and questionable lineup choices as evidence of organizational rot. Sal and BT largely agreed with the call's frustration over the analytics-driven culture, but Sal differentiated between in-game managerial decisions and pre-game data, ultimately landing on his philosophy that a starting pitcher should be "knocked out, not taken out."

BT and Sal are fired up for Yankees playoff baseball, convinced this is the deepest, most balanced Yankees team since Aaron Boone took over, making a World Series run feel more possible than in recent years. The excitement is tempered by the fear that the Red Sox, a dangerous rival, present the toughest first-round challenge, particularly facing ace lefty Garrett Crochet. The hosts debate the Yankees' expected lineup, which oddly neglects hot-hitting Ben Rice and Jazz Chisholm due to analytics and matchups, leading Sal to call it a "flaw" that could expose the team. The conversation pivots to the win-or-go-home pressure on Aaron Judge, who must exorcise his postseason demons and carry the team. A furious discussion erupts over the Jets' 0-4 start, with the hosts questioning whether rookie head coach Aaron Glenn is the answer, citing atrocious fundamentals, penalties, and a severe lack of discipline. The segment also hits on the Mets' historic and uniquely painful collapse, concluding they failed to even "fold the right way," before analyst Brian Baldinger joins to praise Giants rookie QB Jaxson Dart's impressive debut but criticize Sauce Gardner's regression. Finally, the "Call of the Day" features a wildly enthusiastic Yankees fan, Vinny from Long Island, predicting a quick series win.
Sal and BT are hyped for the Yankees' Wild Card series against the rival Red Sox, but acknowledge it's the most dangerous test for this Yankees team, possibly the best one Aaron Boone has managed. They debate the matchup between the Yankees' ace Max Fried and the Red Sox's nasty lefty Garrett Crochet, expressing concern over the Yankees' projected lineup, which excludes hot hitters like Ben Rice due to matchups. The hosts agree that for the Yankees to succeed and potentially win a World Series, Aaron Judge must finally deliver an MVP-caliber performance in the postseason and carry the team, shutting up the critics after last year's collapse.
BT and Sal ripped into the Jets' "putrid, inexplicably bad" 0-4 start, with BT questioning if Aaron Glenn is truly the answer, citing the team's abysmal tackling, constant penalties, and boneheaded mistakes that show no improvement from the "Same Old Jets" narrative Glenn promised to end. Sal, while acknowledging the disaster, argued Glenn needs time, but conceded the noise and pressure of the New York market may doom him. Shifting to baseball, they debated the Yankees' Wild Card roster, surprised that top arm Luis Gil was left off in favor of Paul Blackburn. Finally, they wrapped with a fiery "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth" segment, declaring the Mets will make the playoffs in 2026 (Truth), Darius Slayton will not lead the Giants in receiving yards (Lie), and Max Fried will have a better pitching line than Garrett Crochet in Game 1 (Truth).
Sal and BT dove headfirst into the Yankees-Red Sox Wild Card series, emphasizing the high pressure and rejuvenated rivalry. They discussed Max Fried facing Garrett Crochet, with Aaron Judge needing a defining postseason. The conversation swerved to a surprising revelation: Boomer Esiason, a self-proclaimed Mets fan, was seen wearing a Mickey Mantle Yankees jersey, prompting a fiery segment on "Mets fans for Yankees." They then welcomed NFL Insider Brian Baldinger, who gushed about Jaxson Dart's excellent debut for the Giants, praising his poise and the defense's performance. Conversely, Baldinger criticized the Jets for their continued penalties and lack of discipline, echoing Sal and BT's frustration.
Sal and BT opened by roasting the Mets for their catastrophic failure, pointing out the dark irony that the Detroit Tigers had a historic 15.5-game division lead collapse but still made the playoffs with 87 wins, while the Mets, despite their massive payroll, talent, and far lesser collapse, are sitting at home. They praised David Stearns' self-aware plan to fix the Mets' poor defense, even suggesting major moves like making Pete Alonso a primary DH or trading Lindor or Nimmo to upgrade the roster. The discussion then turned to the Jets, with a caller arguing the team has "no horses" (talent), a point BT fiercely debated. Finally, they covered the Yankees' playoff lineup, debating the controversial decision to bench Ben Rice against a tough lefty, despite his "elite offensive player" potential, due to defensive concerns at first base and catcher.
The hosts are electric with anticipation for the Yankees' Wild Card Series against the rival Red Sox, viewing it as the team's ultimate early test and a chance for redemption. Sal and BT are thrilled by the high-stakes, palpable October hatred, even if they acknowledge the risk of a short series loss. They believe this current Yankees team is the most complete and capable of winning a World Series that Aaron Boone has had, but they must first overcome their most dangerous opponent right out of the gate—their bitter rivals from Boston. The debate quickly turns to the controversial Game 1 lineup set to face Boston's nasty lefty, Garrett Crochet.
Sal and BT debated the true advantage in the Yankees-Red Sox best-of-three Wild Card Series, concluding that while the Yankees appear set up for success with their rotation, glaring issues could lead to an early exit. Sal is concerned about the Yankees' "flaws," specifically the shaky bullpen (trusting Bednar but not Williams or Weaver) and the inconsistent defense, singling out Volpe and Ben Rice's potential contributions. BT agreed that the high-stakes, short series magnifies these vulnerabilities, making it incredibly dangerous, even with a powerhouse like Aaron Judge in the lineup, who the hosts admit has historically underperformed in the postseason.
Sal and BT dove into the high-stakes Wild Card Series opener between the Yankees and Red Sox, centered around the formidable pitching matchup: Max Fried versus Garrett Crochet. Sal emphasized that this is a true test for the Yankees right out of the gate, unlike the previous year's "cakewalk." BT agreed it's the toughest matchup they could face but feels this deeper, more resilient Yankees team is finally equipped to fight. The conversation quickly shifted to the immense pressure on Aaron Judge to deliver in the postseason, especially against a "nasty lefty" like Crochet, while also questioning manager Aaron Boone's projected lineup decisions against the tough matchup.

BT and Sal engaged in a fiery debate over the disastrous 0-4 start for the New York Jets, with BT expressing serious reservations about head coach Aaron Glenn. Citing awful fundamentals, boneheaded mistakes like fielding a punt at the two-yard line, and a glaring lack of tackling, BT declared he can no longer "blindly" trust that Glenn is the right man for the job. He argued that Glenn's promises of a "different" team and improved discipline have been the exact opposite of what the team has shown on the field. While Sal urged patience for the first-year coach and blamed the chaotic New York environment, BT insisted that the team's visible lack of preparation and poor performance are a direct reflection of a coach who may be in over his head.
BT and Sal dove into the Yankees' Wild Card roster, expressing both excitement for postseason baseball and major concerns about the team's composition. Sal was flabbergasted by the inclusion of Paul Blackburn over Luis Gil, calling Blackburn's presence a sign that the Yankees are in "big trouble" if he has to pitch. The hosts debated whether the defense, the bullpen management, or the configuration of the everyday lineup (especially the Ben Rice/Austin Wells situation) poses the biggest threat to the team's World Series aspirations. Despite some skepticism, BT gave GM Brian Cashman credit for the trade deadline acquisitions, noting the team suddenly has a "grit" that was missing before.
BT and Sal bring in Hoff for a fiery edition of "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth," tackling three controversial statements. First, Sal declares the Mets making the 2026 playoffs is a Bald-Faced Truth, driven by his faith in Steve Cohen and David Stearns to make major changes. Second, the trio debates if Darius Slayton will lead the Giants in receiving yards this season, with Sal betting it's a Bald-Faced Lie in favor of Wan'Dale Robinson. Finally, they heatedly discuss the Yankees-Red Sox Game 1 pitching matchup, with Sal ultimately siding with Max Fried having a better line than Garrett Crochet, arguing that Aaron Judge will touch up the Red Sox ace.
Sal and BT get a fiery take from NFL Insider Brian Baldinger, who slams the New York Jets for their total lack of discipline, infuriating penalties, and "horrible" decision-making, arguing the team is lost. On the flip side, Baldy praises the Giants' debut from rookie QB Jaxson Dart, calling it "awesome" for the energy he brought to the team and his poise as a "general" on the field. He also breaks down why the Giants' defense, featuring Kayvon Thibodeaux and Dexter Lawrence, finally looked like an elite unit, while calling out Sauce Gardner for not playing with his previous confidence.
Sal and BT dissected the agony of the 2025 Mets season, contrasting their failure to make the playoffs with the Detroit Tigers, who suffered a historic division collapse yet still snuck into October baseball. Sal emphasized that the Mets' high payroll and talent made their absence unacceptable, showing they couldn't even "fold the right way." The discussion segued into how the new regime, led by David Stearns, must drastically change the team's defensive philosophy, even if it means moving on from fan-favorites like Pete Alonso or Brandon Nimmo to prioritize sound, well-rounded baseball.
Sal and BT furiously dissected the New York Mets' most embarrassing season ever, a historic collapse that saw the $400 million team miss the expanded postseason. The discussion was fueled by owner Steve Cohen's immediate public apology to fans and star Pete Alonso's post-game announcement that he will opt out, signaling a potential tear-down of the core, including possible trades for Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo. This baseball disaster overshadowed the Giants' massive win over the Chargers and the exciting debut of rookie QB Jaxson Dart, with the celebratory mood immediately soured by the devastating news of Malik Nabers' season-ending ACL tear.

BT explained to Sal that while the Mets have been eliminated in "embarrassing" fashion, it's too early to celebrate or laugh at them. The team needs to first deliver a serious, proper "rip job" to acknowledge the failure and validate the frustrations of the Mets fan base. BT deferred his planned Chase Utley costume appearance—a payoff for a lost bet—until later in the show, stating that the visual would take away from the necessary seriousness of crushing the team for what he called the "most embarrassing Mets season of all time."
Sal and BT dove into the Giants' massive home-opening victory over the Chargers, with Sal focusing on the electrifying performance of quarterback Jaxson Dart and the exceptional play of the defense. The win, however, was quickly tempered by the likely devastating ACL injury to wide receiver Malik Nabers, which Sal called an "absolute devastation." Despite the injury, the guys agreed that the infectious energy from Dart and the defense was so great that it couldn't fully overshadow the positive momentum, although BT warned that the loss of Nabers would make the offense look "pedestrian" as the season progresses. The core excitement was the proof that the Giants could finally play with a winning energy and dominant defense.
Sal and BT debated the Mets' disappointing season, concluding that while owner Steve Cohen has spent an unprecedented amount of money, he has not spent it wisely. The hosts argue that the team's problem isn't a lack of funds or even simple bad luck; it's poor decision-making and a failure to acquire the right kind of players—especially contrasting the team's expensive flops like Jesse Winker and Frankie Montas against the Yankees' cheap, high-production players. They stress that GM David Stearns must move beyond "bargain bin" mentality and combine the foundation of smart, defensive, high-character players he built in Milwaukee with the Mets' financial ability to bring in one or two superstar "studs" to finally achieve sustained success.
Sal and BT furiously dissected the Mets' "most embarrassing season" ever, a complete implosion despite a massive payroll and an expanded playoff field. The hosts agree this shocking collapse, characterized by a lack of character and clutch play, demands a "wrecking ball" approach to the roster. They also debated the fallout from Pete Alonso's immediate post-game declaration that he's opting out, with Sal defending the honesty of a player he feels the Mets management disrespected, while BT points out the core issue of a team that simply lacked the fight to resist its own downfall.
The best conversations about Jaxson Dart's promotion to QB1 from Boomer & Gio, Tierney & Licata, and Evan & Tiki. BT and Sal reacted to the breaking news in real time. Brian Baldinger joined them and said the time is right. Connor Hughes joined Evan and Tiki to break down the move and what it means for the Giants' internal dynamics. The guys then revisit their predictions about when Dart would take over.
