This week's Yankee highlights are all about Cam Schlittler and the Bombers rallying to advance past the hated Red Sox in the Wild Card Series. Boomer and Gio talk with Boston fan Lucy Burdge about being trolled by Schlittler after game three, while BT and Sal discuss the strong showing by Anthony Volpe in the playoffs.

This week's Mets highlights - or lowlights- include Boomer and Gio making sense of the team's collapse, while Gio equated it to 'death by 1,000 paper cuts.' Plus, BT and Sal rip the team for missing the playoffs, while Sal made the case for Francisco Lindor.

Sal and BT explode over the Yankees' Wild Card series win, driven by Cam Schlittler's "otherworldly" 12-strikeout masterpiece that cemented a new, clean style of winning for the team—one that proves they don't need home runs to dominate. They celebrate manager Aaron Boone's managerial decisions and argue the victory likely saved his job. The excitement pivots quickly to Mets' "massive" coaching purge, with the hosts agreeing the firings were necessary after a disastrous season, before wrapping up with a look at the Giants' rookie QB Jaxson Dart and the usual "LOL Jets" jokes.

Cam Schlittler delivered an "otherworldly" eight-inning, 12-strikeout masterclass against the Red Sox, an "all-time" performance that clinched the series for the Yankees. BT and Sal celebrated the exhilarating win, noting that the biggest takeaway wasn't just Schlittler's dominance, but the fact that the Yankees won by playing clean, crisp baseball and not beating themselves—a stark contrast to previous years. They highlighted Anthony Volpe's crucial defensive play and the team's ability to win with base hits, proving they are no longer a one-trick "home run or bust" pony. Sal challenged the notion that Schlittler is the next great ace, saying they must live in the moment and see if he can back it up against the Blue Jays. The discussion ended by briefly touching on the excitement around the Giants' rookie QB Jaxson Dart, but the hosts questioned how far the team can realistically go without key receiver Malik Nabers.

Sal and BT dissect the Yankees' Wild Card win, arguing that while Aaron Boone caught an unfair "bad rap" for his managerial decisions (which BT defends), the victory and Cam Schlittler's dominance likely saved his job. The conversation then pivots to an intense New York sports weekend, with BT and Sal debating which Sunday football game demands more attention: the Giants' home opener against the Chiefs or the "LOL Jets" hosting the Cowboys, with BT admitting he'll likely be distracted by the Yankees' first ALDS game. Finally, they briefly cheer the Mets' move to fire third base coach Mike Sarbaugh and acknowledge John Gibbons' exit, agreeing that after a disastrous season, coaching changes were necessary.

Sal and BT dissect the Yankees' masterful Wild Card series win against the Red Sox, driven by Cam Schlittler's "all-time dominating" performance, signaling a deeper, cleaner brand of baseball for the team. The celebration is immediately countered by the breaking news of a "massive" coaching shakeup for the Mets, as Jeremy Hefner, Jeremy Barnes, and Eric Chavez are all reportedly out, prompting the hosts to debate the impact of the "new juice" and the unfair pressure on manager Carlos Mendoza. Finally, Nick Kostos jumps in to provide his NFL Week 5 best bets, confidently taking the Jets plus the points against a depleted Cowboys offensive line, while remaining cautious about the Giants in a "coin flip" game against the Saints.

BT and Sal dive into the Mets coaching chaos, questioning why Carlos Mendoza was spared while other familiar names, including the hitting and pitching coaches, were fired. The duo then moves to their NFL Week 5 "Perfect Parlay" picks, with Sal laying heavy chalk on the Cardinals, Hoff surprisingly backing the Giants, and BT trusting the Broncos. The segment wraps with a "Call of the Day" debating the merits of Yankees manager Aaron Boone and a "Player to Watch" spotlight on the Giants' Darius Slayton, all punctuated by an awkward and flat joke attempt by Hoff that gets roasted by the whole crew.

Sal and BT's "Call of the Day" segment kicked off with a flaming rejection of Hof's attempt at a joke regarding a Mets' pitching lab vacancy, with Sal noting that sometimes a joke "gotta be funny to laugh." Shifting to serious sports, the Player to Watch segment featured two key mentions: Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton, who will be under pressure with a key teammate out for their game against the high-octane Saints, and Patriots QB Drake Maye, whose impressive early-season performance will face its biggest test yet in Buffalo. The call then culminated in a fiery debate on the highly anticipated Yankees vs. Blue Jays playoff series, with both hosts relishing the thought of the Yankees silencing their "chirping" rivals.

It's Week 5 of the "Perfect Parlay Pick Segment," and with zero winning parlays to show for it and BT's morale "shaken," Sal brings in Hoff to join the action. BT, who is last in total points, lays a three-team parlay including a Titans demolition and a Dallas-Jets 'Over.' Sal keeps his parlay short with a two-teamer, banking on his beloved Broncos to cover and the Saints to beat the Giants. Hoff, who is second in total points, counters with a three-team all-road parlay, confidently backing his Giants pick. The segment is a chaotic mix of confidence and anxiety as the trio lays out their bets, desperately hoping to finally hit the coveted 25, 50, or 100-point payday.

Sal and BT brought on betting expert Nick Kostos to unleash his hottest takes and best bets for NFL Week 5. Kostos immediately gave a fiery take on the Yankees' playoff odds before diving into the NFL, confidently predicting the Jets' first win of the season against an "awful" Cowboys team crippled by offensive line injuries. He also dissected the Giants-Saints line, begrudgingly leaning toward New Orleans due to New York's offensive struggles and the Superdome's home-field advantage. The segment culminated with a debate over a tricky survivor pool pick and a bold call for the Bills to "boat race" the Patriots, making this a must-listen for anyone looking for betting advice before Sunday's kickoff.

Sal and BT debated the intense pressure on Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, with Sal arguing that no New York baseball manager in recent memory—Yankees or Mets—has been under such critical scrutiny from the organization right out of the gate. He fears Mendoza is on a firing line that begins in April, not the postseason, a reality he believes is toxic and unfair. While acknowledging that Mendoza is a "good baseball guy" who was loose and successful in his first year, Sal suspects the raised expectations and pressure from the front office caused him to manage "by the book," ultimately impacting his effectiveness. The discussion centered on whether Stearns and the front office truly believe in Mendoza and if the manager will be given a fair chance to succeed given the club's high expectations.

Sal and BT opened the show lauding Cam Schlittler's "all-time" dominant postseason debut against the Boston Red Sox, a clutch performance that secured the Yankees' trip to the ALCS. The co-hosts praised the team's improved defense and balance, suggesting this might be the start of a deep playoff run. The conversation then pivot to a "massive shakeup" for the Mets, with the firing of pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, hitting coach Jeremy Barnes, and Eric Chavez. The move was deemed a necessary "clean house" moment for a fresh start, with the hosts wondering who will fill the void and whether this shakeup is also a subtle "warning shot" to manager Carlos Mendoza.

Sal and BT dove into the breaking news that the New York Mets have begun making changes to their coaching staff following a massively disappointing season. The co-hosts expressed relief and approval that third base coach Mike Sarbaugh was not being brought back, with Sal openly celebrating his poor base-running decisions throughout the year. The discussion also touched upon veteran coach John Gibbons electing to step away, citing a need for "new blood," which Sal felt hinted at deeper issues within the clubhouse. The hosts agreed that more changes are needed and debated the extent to which Manager Carlos Mendoza should be allowed to choose his new staff, given the pressure he faces going into his third year.

BT and Sal dive into their complicated Sunday viewing schedule, debating whether to prioritize the Yankees game or the "LOL Jets" taking on the Cowboys. The conflict is compounded by family commitments, the late start of the baseball game, and the inconvenience of having to cut away for Sal's "Unkillable" podcast right in the middle of the Yankees action. The dilemma boils down to which New York team offers the lesser degree of pain or inconvenience, with Sal leaning toward avoiding the chaos of the Jets to catch the Yankees, despite the logistical nightmare it creates.

Sal and BT argue that Yankees manager Aaron Boone receives an unfair and overblown amount of criticism, especially after a playoff series win. While acknowledging the pressure of managing the Yankees without a championship, Sal defends Boone's temperament as perfect for New York and insists the critique that Boone lacks independent baseball thinking is "ludicrous" and disrespectful to a three-generation baseball lifer. They suggest that the team's roster has been inferior to previous Yankee championship teams, and Boone's management is often unfairly judged only by results, not by his actual talent for the job. Sal notes that while he was likely safe after the win, a loss would have likely led to his unfair firing.

BT and Sal discuss the bittersweet situation surrounding the Giants, acknowledging the "excitement of Dart" after his strong showing at quarterback but immediately tempering that optimism with the massive void left by the injury to Malik Nabers. They agree that while the rookie quarterback has brought a much-needed spark to a previously lifeless team, losing their elite, number-one wide receiver—who BT explicitly calls a necessary piece—will inevitably catch up to them. The central question for the fiery hosts is: how far can this "exciting" Giants team actually go, given their most dynamic offensive weapon is now sidelined?

Sal and BT were ecstatic over Anthony Volpe's stellar performance in the Yankees' recent series win, noting that the young shortstop chose an absolutely crucial time to play his best baseball. They highlighted his "big picture" contributions, particularly a key double play and an RBI hit, which helped the Yankees win without relying solely on their power hitting. For a player who has faced criticism for inconsistent play, Volpe's clutch hitting and clean defense in the high-pressure environment of the postseason were praised as an encouraging sign of balance and accountability for the entire team.

Sal and BT were absolutely electric discussing Cam Schlittler's unforgettable Game 3 performance, where the young pitcher delivered eight innings of masterful, untouchable dominance to clinch the Wild Card Series against the Red Sox. The hosts praised Schlittler's composure and "next level" stuff, with BT even suggesting it was a performance they might never see again. Sal highlighted the bigger takeaway: the Yankees won the series by playing clean, fundamental baseball, not just relying on power, but Schlittler's incredible outing provides the necessary pitching depth and rest for the bullpen as they now advance to face the Blue Jays.

In this conversation, BT and William Ramsey, delves into the complexities of truth, crime, and the occult, exploring the Smiley Face Killers and the media's role in misrepresenting these cases. They discuss the influence of Aleister Crowley on modern culture and the pervasive nature of conspiracy theories, emphasizing the need for independent journalism in an age of censorship. In this conversation, William Ramsey discusses the implications of free speech in the context of modern platforms like Substack, the intersection of political power and public discourse, and the societal impact of transgender issues. He delves into the dynamics of crime related to the Smiley Face Killers, the consequences of cancel culture, and corporate responses to woke culture. The discussion also touches on cultural shifts influenced by occult practices, the symbolism in media, and the modern manifestations of Satanism. Wallace emphasizes the dangers of compelled speech and the influence of global organizations like the UN on societal norms.William Ramsey Investigates: site and podcast

Sal and BT furiously dissected the Yankees' Game 3 elimination lineup, demanding manager Aaron Boone bench struggling veteran Giancarlo Stanton in favor of the hot hand, and arguing that Boone's managerial "lack of feel" continues to put the team at risk. The hosts are terrified Boone will prioritize a player's name over performance, jeopardizing the series. Beyond the Yankees' drama, Sal was vocal in his disgust over the Knicks' choice of Mike Brown as head coach, fearing he's the wrong fit for the team. The segment finished with the duo's always-controversial NFL Week 5 Power Rankings and a rant about media double-standards.

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.

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 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 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, 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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 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.

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 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 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 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.

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.

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 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.

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 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 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 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 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.
