Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian Cashman

Cody Bellinger's grade two hamstring injury could keep him out until September, creating another brutal setback for a Yankees lineup already missing Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate how aggressively Brian Cashman must respond, why outfield help is now the deadline priority and whether realistic additions like Tyrone Taylor, Tyler Stephenson or George Springer could keep the Yankees in the AL East race. The pressure also shifts to the organization's young talent. Shaun argues George Lombard Jr. should be promoted immediately, while Anthony Volpe's dropped pop-up sparks a clash over whether one disastrous mistake erased an otherwise strong game. Plus, the crew pitches professional mini golf as television's next great attraction and brings back Posted and Toasted.

Cody Bellinger's grade two hamstring injury could keep him out until September, turning an already battered Yankees lineup into Brian Cashman's biggest deadline crisis. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate why outfield help has become the priority, whether George Lombard Jr. should be promoted immediately and which realistic additions could keep the Yankees in the AL East race. They also clash over Anthony Volpe after his dropped pop-up overshadowed an otherwise productive game, with Evan showing rare sympathy and Shaun arguing the mistake erased everything positive. Plus, the crew explains why track and field struggles to create lasting interest and pitches televised mini golf as a surprisingly compelling alternative.

The Yankees may have survived without Aaron Judge, but Shaun Morash warns their current lineup still has far too many dead spots to win in October. Evan Roberts points to the offense's dominant production before Judge went down, while the debate turns to whether Brian Cashman needs a major bat or a realistic addition such as Lane Thomas. Evan, Tiki Barber and Shaun also predict Cody Bellinger's return date before making their biggest trade deadline calls.

The Yankees won two of three against Philadelphia, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are alarmed by an offense that has become nearly unrecognizable. With Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger sidelined, Evan calls the current lineup one of the worst the franchise has fielded in decades and argues that elite pitching is the only thing keeping the season afloat. The weakness of the American League only increases the pressure on Brian Cashman to be aggressive before the trade deadline. Evan and Tiki debate which bats the Yankees need, whether Spencer Jones and George Lombard Jr. should be part of the solution and why multiple moves may be necessary. Plus, they defend Jose Caballero after an umpire ruled that he intentionally dropped a line drive.

Aaron Judge's brief “I got nothing for you” injury update leaves Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber wondering whether the Yankees truly have no timetable or are hiding bad news before the trade deadline. With Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger unavailable, the pressure on Brian Cashman to transform the offense has reached a breaking point. Evan and Tiki argue that the mediocre American League should push the Yankees to be more aggressive, not less. They compare the situation to the 2015 Mets, debate whether one blockbuster bat or several smaller upgrades could change everything and predict Cashman will make multiple major league trades.

The Yankees' struggling offense has reached the point where Evan Roberts believes Brian Cashman must call up George Lombard Jr. immediately. Evan argues that Jose Caballero and Anthony Volpe have already shown what they are, while Lombard could provide the jolt the lineup desperately needs. Tiki Barber urges caution about throwing a young prospect into a pennant race, and Shaun Morash wonders whether the Yankees are saving Lombard for after the trade deadline. The conversation shifts to a lost Mets season, Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen sounding increasingly fed up, and even Donald Trump taking a shot at the team. Evan, Tiki and Shaun also debate the excitement surrounding John Harbaugh and the Giants, why his résumé gives his message credibility, and whether universal optimism should make Giants fans nervous.

The Yankees' offense needs an immediate jolt, and Evan Roberts is demanding that Brian Cashman call up George Lombard Jr. now. Evan argues that Jose Caballero and Anthony Volpe have already shown they are not the long-term answer at shortstop, while Lombard's hot bat and major league-ready defense make him the most exciting option available. Tiki Barber agrees with the idea but warns that a rookie could struggle under postseason pressure, while Shaun Morash believes Lombard could also solve the Yankees' problems at third base. They debate whether Volpe should be sent down, whether Lombard is being protected as a trade chip, and why waiting until September could waste the prospect's chance to transform the season.

A caller pitches a wild trade scenario that would send Jacob deGrom to the New York Yankees, but Evan immediately shuts down the delusional idea. Evan outlines exactly why the 38-year-old ace would never waive his full no-trade clause to leave a first-place Texas Rangers team and return to New York. Instead, the guys set their sights on a much more realistic and game-changing deadline target: Tarik Skubal. Evan and Tiki debate whether Brian Cashman should be willing to surrender promising pitching prospects like Will Warren or Ryan Weathers to build a dominant postseason rotation featuring Skubal, Gerrit Cole, and Max Fried. Shaun Morash unveils his updated rankings of the five worst uniforms in the NFL, taking brutal shots at the Jets and declaring the Tennessee Titans' new look the absolute ugliest in football.

Jose Caballero's pitch clock gamesmanship has opponents furious, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber explain why his ability to get under their skin could make him even more valuable to the Yankees. They also debate whether Anthony Volpe deserves to lose playing time and why Dennis Santana's reaction missed the mark. The conversation turns to grim Jets predictions, the team's new white uniforms, a welcome gesture from the Mets and Brian Cashman's history of making midseason moves. Plus, the crew discusses Freddy Peralta's struggles, Malik Nabers' recovery and what the Yankees must accomplish at the trade deadline.

Brian Cashman will make moves at the trade deadline, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber warn that simply doing something will not be enough. They examine Cashman's long history of midseason deals, revisit the Yankees' quiet 2019 deadline and debate whether passing on Robbie Ray cost them a better shot at the World Series. Evan also makes the case that acquiring David Justice remains Cashman's greatest midseason trade. The conversation also turns to Malik Nabers looking healthier ahead of Giants training camp, the Mets giving ticket holders a small fan-appreciation perk and Evan dominating Tiki in Shaun Morash's World Cup-themed edition of Posted and Toasted.

Carlos Beltran confirmed the Mets approached him about managing, but his answer convinced Evan Roberts that he is waiting for the right New York opportunity. Evan predicts Beltran will manage either the Mets or Yankees next season, while Tiki Barber believes Beltran may be too comfortable in his advisory role to take the risk. The debate turns to Aaron Boone's future, the Yankees' past interest in Beltran and the unfinished business surrounding the Mets firing him after the Astros scandal. Evan also argues that Beltran's availability could push Brian Cashman toward a managerial change, while the crew examines whether lineup protection can actually be measured through the pitches Cody Bellinger sees without Aaron Judge.

The Yankees may not desperately need another starter, but Evan Roberts argues they cannot pass on the chance to acquire Tarik Skubal. With Gerrit Cole pitching well and Max Fried nearing a return, the debate centers on whether Brian Cashman should turn an already strong rotation into a postseason superpower or preserve top prospects for the offense and bullpen. A caller then proposes trading Jazz Chisholm for Francisco Lindor, sparking disbelief and a debate over Chisholm's clutch production. Plus, the crew ranks LeBron James' potential destinations based on the threat each would pose to the Knicks, considers whether Cleveland offers the perfect farewell story, and unveils a new segment called the Tiki Time Machine.

Carlos Beltran confirmed the Mets approached him about managing, and Evan Roberts believes his answer revealed something much bigger. Evan predicts Beltran will manage a New York team next season, warning Mets fans that the Yankees remain a legitimate threat if Brian Cashman moves on from Aaron Boone. Tiki Barber hears more hesitation, arguing Beltran may prefer his comfortable advisory role over the risks of managing. Evan also blasts the Mets for firing Beltran after the Astros scandal and explains why the unfinished business still matters. Plus, the crew debates LeBron James' most entertaining destination, reacts to ESPN and NFL Network layoffs, examines whether Aaron Judge truly provides lineup protection for Cody Bellinger, and reaches a breaking point with the Mets, wildfire smoke and an overused wrestling gimmick.

Chris McMonigle dives into a frustrating series against the Dodgers, breaking down the atrocious state of the Yankees' offense, expressing major concerns over a disappointing injury update on Aaron Judge and the severe struggles of Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm, and Anthony Volpe. Looking ahead to the trade deadline, Chris insists the front office must prioritize a new starting shortstop and outlines his ultimate wish list, including Rafael Devers and Mason Miller. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 00:40 - The Elephant in the Room: The Yankees' offense is absolutely awful right now. 3:00 - A deep dive into the offensive black hole at the bottom of the lineup. Chris highlights the struggles of Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm, noting that a starting infield with only one above-average hitter is unacceptable. 10:40 - The Aaron Judge Update: Chris expresses his disappointment over the latest medical update on Aaron Judge, noting that going from "sharp pain" to "dull pain" in six weeks without resuming baseball activities is a massive concern. 15:45 - Game 1 Recap & Gerrit Cole: Despite the offense only scraping together one run on an error and a wild pitch, Gerrit Cole provided a major bright spot with swing-and-miss stuff after some rough outings of late. 23:45 - Defending Boone & Grisham: Chris pushes back against fans criticizing manager Aaron Boone for leaving Cole in too long. He also defends Trent Grisham getting thrown out at the plate, attributing it to a bad base-running read rather than a lack of hustle. 43:00 - Game 3 Bullpen Heroics: A breakdown of the much-needed series finale victory, but Chris had to vent about a frustrating fifth-inning bases-loaded jam. 59:00 - Trade Deadline Wishlist: Chris demands that Brian Cashman prioritize a new shortstop. He also tosses out bold trade targets to save the season, including Rafael Devers, Luis Arraez, and Mason Miller. 1:09:20 - Shill or Shame: Reliever David Bednar earns the "Shill" for his shutdown performance out of the bullpen, while the recently demoted Jake Bird gets handed the "Shame." 1:14:00 - Silver Linings in the Standings: Despite the offensive woes and losing the series, Chris notes that the Yankees actually gained a game and a half on the slumping Tampa Bay Rays, keeping their division title hopes very much alive.

Ben Maller talks about Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman should feel about the state of the Yankees after losing the series to the Dodgers, the Mets getting dinged for using AI for pitch calling, Bo Bichette giving a murky answer when asked about waiving his no-trade clause, Insta-Advice Line, and more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Yankees offense is drowning, Aaron Judge cannot be counted on to return soon, and Evan Roberts says Brian Cashman now has two weeks to save the season. Evan points to Cashman's aggressive 2017 trade deadline as the blueprint, arguing that New York needs impact bats instead of waiting for Anthony Volpe, Austin Wells and others to suddenly turn things around. Tiki Barber agrees the Yankees can no longer assume struggling players will figure it out, but warns there is no obvious answer on the trade market. With the lineup averaging just over three runs per game for a month, Evan and Tiki debate catcher and infield upgrades, a possible George Lombard Jr. call-up and why every mistake becomes devastating when the Yankees cannot score.

The Yankees can't ignore their offensive woes before the deadline, the World Cup gets settled, and Evan is back from vacation

The Yankees cannot score, Aaron Judge cannot be counted on to return soon, and the pressure is now squarely on Brian Cashman. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber argue that New York must stop waiting for struggling hitters to figure it out and aggressively upgrade an offense averaging barely more than three runs per game over the past month. Evan believes Cashman can recreate the franchise-changing impact of the 2017 trade deadline, while Tiki warns that standing pat and trusting the current roster is no longer acceptable. The conversation turns to possible catcher and infield upgrades, whether top prospect George Lombard Jr. could provide a spark, and why every defensive or baserunning mistake becomes magnified when the lineup cannot produce. Evan also calls the World Cup final an abomination, the surging Red Sox and Orioles create more anxiety, and Joe Davis infuriates the crew with another shot at the Yankees.

The Red Sox have ripped off 13 straight wins, the Orioles are charging back into the race, and the Yankees suddenly have real competition breathing down their necks. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate whether Boston could become an October nightmare and why New York's elite pitching will not be enough if the offense remains lifeless. The pressure again shifts to Brian Cashman as the crew debates possible catcher and infield upgrades, the cost of pursuing Hunter Goodman and whether a smaller move could become the Yankees' version of Todd Frazier. Then Evan unloads on Joe Davis after the broadcaster points to a “gap in details” between the Yankees and Dodgers, calling the criticism another example of Davis being compromised.

Shaun and Tiki also examine Jaxson Dart's reckless playing style, Jameis Winston's value as a short-term backup, Malachi Fields' massive catch radius and the Giants' rebuilt defense.

The Yankees appear ready to make catcher their top priority at the trade deadline, but the available options could force Brian Cashman to get creative. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber discuss possible targets, the need for bullpen help and whether a risky move for Corey Seager could transform the lineup. They also assess what the Yankees accomplished by splitting with the Rays and whether one offensive outburst is enough to inspire confidence. As criticism of Cashman intensifies, the conversation turns to his deadline record and the difficult question of when consistent regular season success is no longer enough.

A caller challenges the idea that Giancarlo Stanton is merely a luxury for the Yankees, arguing that his power and leadership become even more valuable when Aaron Judge is unavailable. That conversation quickly expands into a larger debate about whether wealthy teams should be expected to win simply because they can spend more. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber examine what the Mets struggles reveal about roster building, why Brian Cashman may deserve more credit, and how high expectations shape the way Yankees fans judge success. They also settle their disagreement over the Yankees turning point and revisit the Ryan McMahon at bat that helped break open the offense.

The Yankees survived their series with the Rays, but major questions remain about whether the roster is built for a championship run. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber examine the urgent need for a catcher, debate a potential gamble on Corey Seager and consider how Brian Cashman should approach the trade deadline.

The Yankees face a pivotal game against Tampa Bay with Cody Bellinger at first base, Paul Goldschmidt on the bench, and their division hopes beginning to tighten. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate the lineup, the bullpen plan, and whether Brian Cashman deserves more credit for keeping the franchise competitive without delivering another championship. The Anthony Volpe controversy takes center stage as Michael Kay walks back a report that Volpe resisted playing second base while Joel Sherman appears to support the original claim. The conversation also covers Francisco Lindor's lack of hustle, excitement around the young Nets, the Jets' definition of the promised land, and possible catcher moves before the trade deadline.

The Yankees keep falling into the same prolonged summer slumps, leaving Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber searching for an explanation. Is Aaron Boone failing to provide the right leadership, has Brian Cashman's approach grown stale, or is the lineup simply too dependent on Aaron Judge? The conversation also turns to the Mets and their long term roster puzzle. Evan predicts Juan Soto will eventually move to first base, while the guys assess the decision to let Pete Alonso leave, Francisco Lindor's troubling mental mistakes, and whether the Mets can build around their promising young outfielders.

The Yankees enter a crucial matchup with Tampa Bay facing lineup changes, a bullpen game, and the possibility of losing a valuable season tiebreaker. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber examine Cody Bellinger's move to first base, Paul Goldschmidt's struggles, and how one result could dramatically alter the race for the American League East. The conversation expands into a spirited debate over Brian Cashman's legacy, growing excitement around the young Brooklyn Nets, and what meaningful progress would actually look like for the Jets. Evan also questions whether Geno Smith will remain the starter for most of the season as the hosts try to define the promised land for a franchise desperate to stay relevant.
