We started by comparing Jalen Brunson to Mark Messier as legendary local athletes, before taking calls from Knicks fans comparing Brunson to "Wemby the jerk." Jerry returns for an update featuring Jalen Brunson, followed by Clyde Frazier comparing this squad to the 1970 team because so many guys are thriving. Finally, the Yankees beat the Blue Jays behind a Ben Rice home run, and we wrap up the hour talking about Thursday's upcoming parade.
The Knicks are NBA Champions and Gio feels like a kid again as we look at the moves that got them here and the importance of MVP Jalen Brunson. Opinions are shifting on Victor Wembanyama after Boomer called him the NBA's dirtiest player. Jerry's first update brings the sounds of Mike Breen's championship call, followed by Jay Wright talking Brunson, insights from Leon Rose, James Dolan getting booed at a watch party, Mike Brown's reactions, and a painful "see y'all never" from Wemby. Finally, the Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup, a Ben Rice home run lifts the Yankees over the Blue Jays, , and a caller suggests Wemby hung around "scumbag monks."
Jerry has the sounds of Mike Breen as the Knicks win the championship. Jay Wright was on with Joe Benigno and talked about Jalen Brunson. We even heard from Leon Rose. James Dolan got booed at one of the watch parties until he apologized for it taking so long. We heard from Mike Brown after the win. Wemby said the loss was ‘painful'. The Carolina Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup. The Yankees beat the Blue Jays with a HR by Ben Rice.
Jerry's got lots more from the Knicks & Jalen Brunson. Clyde Frazier said this team reminds him of the 1970 team since there are so many guys thriving. The Yankees beat the Blue Jays as Ben Rice homered.
Sho Alli and Nick Ashbourne break down the Blue Jays' 8-3 loss vs. the Yankees to wrap up a series loss in Toronto. They take your calls and texts, and discuss some big picture items for the team; are injuries still a valid excuse for the lack of consistent run production? Has the lack of offence hurt an overworked bullpen? What holes does this team need filled, and are there too many of them to plug in 2026? How important is the coming road trip for this team's direction this season? Plus, they get into some smaller items from this game, including not walking Ben Rice in the ninth inning, the play of Jeff Hoffman, whether or not he balked, and John Schneider's subsequent ejection from the ballgame.

Ben Rice has been on some kind of magical journey this year, as he continues to establish himself as one of the best hitters in the league. And as he tells Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz on this week's episode, it's all on account of maniacal levels of preparation, in all facets of the game (and of life). “Ben Arroz” has proven to be uniquely capable of connecting teammates in the clubhouse while also offering the offensive firepower the team needs with Aaron Judge out of the lineup, and he talks about his entire process. Then, YES Network's Meredith Marakovits and Jon chat about the latest news in Yankees universe and even give some thoughts on the NBA Finals.

The final stretch circles back to the Yankees without Aaron Judge, as callers challenge whether Brian Cashman deserves more credit for building a roster that should survive losing its superstar. The debate sharpens into a clear test for Cashman, with the Yankees' division hopes now tied to whether their depth, pitching and young talent can carry them through a long Judge absence. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber also bounce through Boomer and Gio's Ben Rice bet, Knicks fans trying to balance Finals confidence with old scars, and Evan's brutally honest state of mind as a Nets, Jets and Mets fan watching the rest of New York enjoy the moment. The hour closes with a Giants receiver discussion around Odell Beckham Jr., JuJu Smith-Schuster and what it may take to make the roster.
Aaron Judge's rib injury has created real uncertainty for the Yankees, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down why this setback may not be the season ending blow fans feared. With Judge shut down and a reevaluation still weeks away, the conversation turns to how long he could be out, what the best case timeline looks like, and why this roster is better built to withstand his absence than past Yankees teams. The episode digs into the pressure now facing Brian Cashman, the improved depth around Ben Rice, Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm and the pitching staff, and whether merely making the playoffs is enough for a team with division expectations. The hour also touches on Knicks confidence, a Spurs social media wrinkle, and one unforgettable caller's story about watching Game 1 at a funeral home.

We started with the Spurs beating the Thunder to set up Knicks/Spurs in the Finals. We also talked about Mitchell Robinson's injured pinky. Gio said it's going to feel weird if they lose a game this series because it's been so long. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and we heard from Mike Brown on facing the Spurs & Wemby. KAT gave a shoutout to Jeremy Lin for making him a Knicks fan. The Yankees scored 13 runs in the third including a Ben Rice 2-run triple. Juan Soto hit a grand slam to put the game out of reach as they swept the Marlins. In the final segment of the hour, we took calls on the upcoming Knicks/Spurs series. Good news for Mitchell Robinson as Mike Francesa knows the surgeon.

Then the guys give out the Sinatra Awards to players who were flying high in April, but have shot down in May, like Maikel Garcia, Sal Stewart, Ben Rice, Jose Soriano, and Nolan McLean. And finally, it's the swift return of Marco! Polo! where this week the roles are reversed with Carson giving the clues while Erik has to choose which players he wants rest of season and who they ultimately are.

Gio wonders if Juan Soto cares that his team stinks since he's still hitting well, then questions if former Mets coach Jeremy Hefner is the real reason the Braves staff is number one or if they just always have guys. Jerry returns for an update, but the show spends a lot of time on weiner pills. In baseball, the Yankees shutout the Royals behind Ben Rice's production, the Mets beat the Reds thanks to Carson Benge's RBIs, and Rays pitcher Jonathan Heasley vomits on the mound. Finally, Mike Vrabel is asked if he needs more time off, and SGA sends a cease and desist letter to Underdog Sports over videos of him flopping.
Cole is back. For the Yanks, it means so much.The Yankees are starting to feel like themselves again, and it's not just the standings. A three-game sweep of the Royals brings three totally different wins: a comeback capped by a 2 run 9th, a blowout where the bats finally unload, and a clean, pitcher-driven win that reminds you what this team can look like when it's right.I dig into the biggest reason the vibe has shifted: Gerrit Cole is back on the mound and pitching with real authority. After the fear that comes with major arm surgery and a late start to the year, there's a quiet relief that hits when your ace takes the ball and the game immediately feels manageable. I also zoom out to the rotation as a whole, from Cam Schlittler looking like a rising star to Ryan Weathers forcing a serious conversation about who stays in the starting five when arms return, plus the watch list items for Rodón and what “good enough” needs to look like.Then I hit the position-player picture: Ben Rice's approach, Goldschmidt's steady pro at-bats, and why Cody Bellinger's defense is the kind that literally steals runs. But I don't dodge the stuff that can sink a contender either: third base issues, the shortstop playing-time debate, Grisham's production, the Yankees' constant small ball failures, injury worries with Stanton and Fried, and a woeful bullpen we still don't trust.If you're looking for grounded Yankees analysis with fan-level honesty, press play, then subscribe, share the show, and leave a quick review.

We're almost a third of the way through the 2026 season, so Bubba & Cody take a look at some preseason predictions they got right and some they got totally wrong so far on the latest episode of The Hype! The guys talk about Ben Rice's transformation into one of MLB's premier sluggers, Jacob Misiorowski's Cy Young caliber start and a pair of Rangers stars who have been a big disappointment.

Jerry has the sounds of Mike Breen as the Knicks dominated in the final 13 minutes. Mike Brown talked about the comeback. KAT said it was a thrilling ending. The Mets had a 5-0 lead as Bo Bichette hit 2 HRs, and then James Wood hit an inside the park grand slam. The Yankees beat the Blue Jays as Ben Rice homered and he and Judge are tied with 16 each.

Charles Barkley said ‘that was a damn choke job' by the Cavs. Kenny Atkinson talked about why he didn't take his timeouts. He was also asked about taking Harden off of Brunson. The Nationals beat the Mets as Torrens had a bit of a rough night behind the plate. James Wood had an inside the park grand slam. The Yankees beat the Blue Jays as Ben Rice hit his 16th HR.
We start with the Knicks' 22-point comeback win over the Cavs to take Game 1 at a Garden that felt just like Boomer remembers it as a kid. Jerry's final update brings audio of Mike Brown calling the fans "frickin' awesome," Jalen Brunson on the message to the team down 22, and Kenny Atkinson on his timeouts and keeping James Harden on Brunson. Next, the Mets lost to the Nationals as James Wood hit an inside-the-park grand slam, prompting us to listen to Tony Gwynn's 1997 inside-the-parker, before hearing Dave Sims call Ben Rice's 16th homer in a Yankees win over the Blue Jays. Finally, the Moment of the Day features Gio as Eddie excited for a potential golf rainout, followed by a preview of tomorrow night's Knicks/Cavs Game 2.
Last night's Knicks game was ugly with plenty of misses until the fourth quarter. Callers react to what they didn't like from the Knicks, wonder what Eddie's final drop will be on Thursday, and break down Brunson's use of the top of the backboard. Jerry returns with Mike Breen's "bedlam at the Garden" audio, followed by Brunson on targeting James Harden, Charles Barkley calling it a Cavs choke job, and Kenny Atkinson explaining his timeouts and taking Harden off Brunson. Finally, the Nationals beat the Mets as Torrens had a rough night and James Wood hit an inside-the-park grand slam, the Yankees beat the Blue Jays with Ben Rice's 16th homer, and the hour closes with Boomer going into the national Radio Hall of Fame.

Next, the Mets had a 5-0 lead as Bo Bichette hit two homers and James Wood hit an inside-the-park grand slam. Over in the Bronx, the Yankees beat the Blue Jays with Ben Rice tying Judge at 16 homers apiece. Finally, the Cavs' Dennis Schroder wrapped up the hour with an Instagram photo dump captioned "0-1."
Today, we break down the Knicks' thrilling 22-point Game 1 OT comeback win over the Cavs, featuring Jalen Brunson's fourth-quarter takeover, Kenny Atkinson's timeout management, and postgame reactions from Mike Breen, Charles Barkley, and Cleveland sports radio.

Then, Jeff and Kevin chat about where Judge stands on the list of the greatest hitters of all time before listening to John Schneider's pre-game availability.

Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber, and Shaun Morash preview the upcoming Subway Series between the Mets and Yankees from the MLB Store in NYC. The guys talk with Dellin Betances, who played for both franchises, and make the discovery that Juan Soto and Ben Rice are the exact same age.
We are live today from the MLB store in midtown Manhattan to kick off the Subway Series! The Mets are fresh off sweeping the Tigers while the Yankees are 1-5 in their last six, making Boomer wonder if this is a ‘Yankees swoon.' The Mets hit five home runs, leading Boomer to argue they should just pitch around Ben Rice and Aaron Judge. C-Lo fills in for Jerry to discuss Eddie's retirement next week and highlight the NFL schedule release, Mark Vientos' home run, Juan Soto's thoughts on the ‘baby Mets,' next-series scenarios for the Knicks, sinkholes on the Long Island Expressway, and Ted Williams' frozen head.
Hour 4: Ben Rice should be the Yankees everyday catcher and A.J. Ewing provided the spark the Mets needed. Tommy wants to see Patrick and A.J. Ewing get together for dinner or a game.
The Cavaliers even the series against the Pistons as the Knicks rest, leaving Gio with a weirdly confident feeling. The Mets are calling up top prospect AJ Ewing—with Boomer pulling for him to wear number 33—while Jerry's update covers a Yankees loss to the Orioles despite a Ryan Weathers no-hitter into the seventh and Ben Rice's 13th home run. Gio wraps things up with a look at the Kevin Hart roast on Netflix.
We heard the sounds of the Yankees losing to the Orioles even after Ryan Weathers took a no-hitter into the seventh. Ben Rice hit a homer in the loss. The Mets are calling up top prospect AJ Ewing. The Cavaliers beat the Pistons to even the series at 2-2.

Kevin Gausman allowed six earned runs on ten hits in 4.2 innings, and Gunnar Henderson is hitting .205 with no home runs or steals since April 28, making them the two biggest dud stories on today's episode of First Cup Fantasy Baseball with host Corey Pieper.

Nunez picking up saves, and how Bryan Baker and Paul Sewald have been performing. Studs on the day include Ryan Weathers going 6.1 innings with nine strikeouts, Mike Soroka dealing for 6.1 innings, and Ben Rice going 2-for-4 with a homer. On the injury and news front, Nathan Eovaldi was scratched Monday with a tight side, Ryan Helsley is still not cleared to throw with a hoped return by end of May, Addison Barger is back on the IL, and Henry Bolte and AJ Ewing are being called up.

Tarik Skubal's season—and possibly his financial future—just took a major hit. The Tigers ace is expected to miss 2–3 months with an elbow injury, and Jake and Jordan break down what this means not only for Detroit's season but also for Skubal's looming free agency. Could this injury cost him a historic contract? They also discuss Framber Valdez's struggles on the mound and the fallout from hitting Trevor Story in a lopsided loss to the Red Sox. Shohei Ohtani continues to be one of the most fascinating players in baseball, but is there cause for concern? The guys analyze his recent pitching performance and dig into the narrative that his hitting dips when he's on the mound. Is this just small sample size noise, or something teams should actually be paying attention to? To wrap things up, it's time for some early-season hardware. With one month in the books, Jake and Jordan hand out their picks for AL and NL MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year. Who's real, who's surprising, and who might not last? The overreactions are flying—and that's exactly how we like it. Timetamps: (1:00) – Tarik Skubal our 2-3 months with elbow injury (26:30) – Framber Valdez ejected for hitting Trevor Story (35:45) – Shohei Ohtani continues to not hit when pitching (45:00) – Carlos Correa suffers major ankle injury (50:30) – Early season MLB awards Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
