06/09/26 Hour 1: Illinois Football lands 3-Star Quarterback Sladen Shack - what you need to know; Cardinals vs Mets and Cubs vs Rockies Preview Illinois football added another piece to its future quarterback room as three-star 2027 signal caller Sladen Shack from Brandon, Mississippi announced his commitment to Bret Bielema and the Illini. The 6-foot-1, 211-pound quarterback chose Illinois over offers from Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, UConn, South Florida, East Carolina and others. Shack is rated as one of Mississippi's top prospects in the Class of 2027 and becomes Illinois' quarterback commitment for the cycle after the staff reset its recruiting board this spring. Illinois coaches Art Sitkowski and Barry Lunney Jr. prioritized Shack following strong evaluations and an official visit to Champaign. The commitment continues Illinois' recent pipeline into Mississippi, following the success of former Illini quarterback Luke Altmyer.  Then we shift to baseball as the Cardinals open a three-game series against the Mets at Citi Field. St. Louis enters the matchup at 35-28 and currently holds the top National League Wild Card position, while New York sits at 29-36 but comes home with momentum after winning series against both San Diego and Seattle. Young stars Jordan Walker and JJ Wetherholt continue to fuel the Cardinals' surprising season, while the Mets welcome catcher Francisco Alvarez back from the injured list ahead of the series opener. The matchup features two teams trying to strengthen their playoff positioning in a crowded National League race. Meanwhile, the Cubs begin a six-game season series with the Rockies at Coors Field. Chicago enters the series looking to gain ground after an inconsistent stretch, while Colorado continues rebuilding after a difficult 2025 campaign. The probable pitching matchups feature Colin Rea vs. Tomoyuki Sugano, Shota Imanaga vs. Michael Lorenzen, and Edward Cabrera vs. Ryan Feltner. Despite Colorado's struggles, Coors Field has historically been a difficult place for the Cubs, making this an important road test as they try to stay in the National League playoff picture.

The Knicks are headed to the NBA Finals conversation, and Evan Roberts is taking a well earned victory lap after calling their rise before the season began. Evan and Tiki Barber revisit old predictions, debate what made the Knicks the class of the East, and give Charles Barkley credit for seeing it too. The hour also delivers plenty of chaos, from Big Tom DeVito calling in to defend his athletic background to a debate over when parents should be honest with kids about pro sports dreams. The crew mixes Knicks excitement, Mets frustration, parody songs, and wild ideas for filling Citi Field with the kind of unpredictable energy that defines the show.

Evan and Tiki shift from Knicks fever to Mets frustration as a new parody song takes aim at David Stearns and the struggling offense. The crew debates whether Stearns actually hears the criticism, why athletes and executives should avoid the noise, and how Mets fans are trying to find fun in another rough stretch. The hour closes with a mix of Citi Field chaos and Knicks Finals excitement, from Bobby Valentine disguise night to a wild caller idea for Steve Cohen to raffle off his Knicks tickets to Mets fans. Evan runs with the concept, imagining a way to pack the ballpark by turning every scanned ticket into a chance at the hottest seats in New York.

The Mets are officially back to being consistent again… unfortunately it's the bad kind of consistency.After winning 5 of 6 and giving fans a tiny little taste of hope, the Mets responded by immediately losing 5 of 6, including getting swept in Miami by the Marlins — which should honestly qualify as emotional terrorism at this point — and then dropping 2 of 3 at HOME to the Reds because apparently Citi Field is now a charity organization for mediocre baseball teams.So this week, Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe try to figure out whether this team actually has another turnaround in them… or if Mets fans are just being dragged through another 162-game trust exercise.This weekend also brings one of the weirdest and most Mets celebrations imaginable: Bobby Valentine Day. Yes, fans will receive disguises in honor of Bobby V's legendary fake mustache dugout return, proving once again that no franchise in sports celebrates chaos quite like the Mets. On top of that, the Mets Hall of Fame ceremony honors Carlos Beltran, Lee Mazzilli, and Bobby Valentine himself on Saturday at Citi Field.We'll also dive into Jose Reyes naming his Top 5 Mets nemesis list and give our own. Braves? Phillies? Chipper Jones? The entire state of Florida? We're opening old wounds tonight.Meanwhile, Juan Soto has basically become the entire offense by himself, smashing 8 home runs over his last 12 games while the rest of the lineup occasionally shows up like substitute teachers. If Soto cools off for even 48 hours, somebody may need to legally classify this offense as missing persons.On the pitching side, McLean has hit a rough patch, and the Mets continue struggling with consistency from both the rotation and bullpen. Yet somehow… despite all the frustration, this team currently has the SAME record as the 2024 Mets team that finished with 89 wins. So now the question becomes: does this roster actually have another run in them or are we all just coping?We'll also get into early trade deadline chatter after Jon Heyman said he wouldn't be shocked if the Mets eventually consider moving Francisco Lindor. Mets Twitter handled that news very calmly and rationally of course. Definitely no overreactions there.Plus:* Opening Day Mets baseball card set opening* Grading the Opening Day roster* Producer Joe preparing emotionally for ANOTHER west coast trip because apparently MLB thinks the Mets live in California now* And the show's long-standing goal remains the same: get this team back to .500 by the All-Star break… even if fans have every right to still be furious watching this team lose to bad baseball clubs.Next up: 3 against the Marlins at Citi Field before heading to Seattle and San Diego for what feels like the 800th west coast trip of the season.Baseball. Chaos. Sarcasm. Soundboard abuse. Mets pain.Just another episode of The Put it in the Books Show.LGM.#PiitB #Mets

Full Hour 1 in The Sports Bar. Happy Friday Everyone. Gene shares the latest out of the NBA & NHL. The NBA Finals & Stanley Cup Final are almost set. Is MLB getting a salary cap? Jim RIley from BALLCAP Sports joins the program to break down all the baseball news & rumors.

The Mets ended their streak of 16 consecutive days with a game with a well deserved off day yesterday. Tonight, they welcome the Marlins to Citi Field. Pregame, Keith Raad sat down with Carlos Mendoza and Carlos spoke about the changes he hopes to see from the team, and the impact yesterday's off day can have.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back after a Memorial Day reset and come loaded for one of the busiest Tuesdays of the spring. The Knicks swept Cleveland and are heading to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, winning 11 straight in the postseason, but the real conversation is Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals where Oklahoma City hosts San Antonio with the series tied two games apiece. With Jalen Williams questionable and AJ Mitchell already ruled out for the Thunder, the market has slid from five and a half down to four and a half, and both hosts land squarely on the under, pointing to San Antonio's scoring trend through the series, OKC's need to slow the game down with a shorter bench, and the defensive intensity both teams have shown in every game after the first. Munaf drills into the second-half total as his preferred bet and flags De'Aaron Fox's rebounds-plus-assists at 9.5 on FanDuel as a prop worth targeting given what Fox has done in his two healthy games this series. From there the guys go deep on eight MLB games. Tampa Bay's Griffin Jax continues his surprising conversion from reliever to starter when the Rays visit Baltimore to face Shane Baz, a matchup that cuts both ways given each pitcher faced the other team in his immediately prior start. Spencer Strider returns to Fenway with Atlanta against Ranger Suarez and the Red Sox in a game both hosts think favors the Braves early and the over late once both bullpens get involved. Chase Burns takes a never-faced-the-Mets edge into Citi Field against David Peterson with Cincinnati firmly in the NL Central race. Cam Schlittler, who owns a 1.04 road ERA and a .139 opponent average on the road this season, faces Bailey Falter in Kansas City in what becomes Dave's best bet, Yankees first five minus a half run. Munaf's best bet is the Cardinals-Brewers under four and a half in the first five innings with Michael McGreevy and Kyle Harrison both in elite form and zero familiarity working in favor of either offense. Jason Alexander goes for Houston in Arlington the night after the Rangers threw a combined no-hitter, with both hosts liking the Texas team total over. Emerson Hancock and Luis Severino bring their home-road split drama to West Sacramento, and Eduardo Rodriguez faces Tyler Mahle at Oracle Park in an over-or-under debate shaped entirely by the park's dimensions and a 22-mile-per-hour wind blowing out.

The Subway Series ended with a shocker, as the Mets pulled off the kind of ninth inning comeback their fans had been conditioned not to expect. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to Tyrone Taylor's stunning homer, the empty seats at Citi Field, and the rare feeling of the Mets actually delivering a magical late game moment. The guys also break down why the loss should worry Yankees fans beyond just one ugly afternoon. David Bednar's latest collapse, Austin Wells' growing struggles, Aaron Judge's quiet series, and a rough road trip all become part of a bigger conversation about a Yankees team that is still in good shape but suddenly has real problems to solve.

The Update goes fully mobile for a special bonus episode from deep in the woods of Camp Mason — where the Wi-Fi is questionable, the wildlife is aggressive, and somehow we're still covering one of the biggest transit meltdowns in the tri-state area.On Day 1 of the Long Island Rail Road strike, we break down the commuter chaos unfolding back home as riders scramble for buses, ferries, carpools, emotional support iced coffees, and whatever remaining patience they still had left before Memorial Day weekend. From packed highways to packed tempers, we try to make sense of the first major rail shutdown in years… using whatever limited resources we can find between camp activities and cabins that sound like they were built during the Roosevelt administration.Meanwhile at Citi Field, Game 1 of the Subway Series took a brutal turn as Mets pitcher Clay Holmes suffered a fractured fibula in a frightening injury that could sideline him for a very long time. We react to the game, the atmosphere in Queens, and what this means for a Mets team that already felt like it was being held together with athletic tape, vibes, and pure delusion.It's a special on-the-road edition of The Update — proving once again that whether we're in Studio 57 or surviving camp life in New Jersey, the news never stops… even if the trains do.

The Subway Series starts tonight as the Mets come in after sweeping the Tigers and the limping Yankees start Cam Schlittler, bringing in some terrible calls. We hit on our earlier conversations with Mariano Rivera, explain why "horse guy" has no Preakness pick, and check in with Larry from Indiana ahead of next Friday's kickoff to summer. Finally, in place of C-Lo's final update, John Franco joins us live at the MLB store to talk about his terrible first pitch at Citi Field after total shoulder replacement and the energy the young guys on the Mets are bringing.

We first asked him about his terrible first pitch the other day at Citi-Field. He just had total shoulder replacement. We talked about the young guys on the Mets and the energy they bring.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk sports betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back on the Cash That Ticket podcast for a Friday, May 15, 2026 episode that covers more ground than most, starting with two NBA playoff closeout games and working all the way through the MLB Friday card, a PGA Championship round one update, and a genuine milestone moment as Munaf officially becomes a Pregame Pro on Pregame.com — selling picks for the first time after years of giving them away for free on this pod, and receiving a full public endorsement from Dave that was honest, direct, and exactly what you would expect from a man who has been in the pick-selling business long enough to know the difference between a handicapper and a salesman. On the NBA side, the guys break down Game 6 of Cavaliers versus Pistons at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, where the Cavs hold a three-games-to-two lead after surviving overtime in Detroit behind 30 points from James Harden and a 31-free-throw performance that Dave argues is simply not repeatable — not the free throw volume, not the 40 percent three-point shooting, not the pace that produced 211 points in regulation plus overtime, and both hosts land on the under at 211 and a half as their conviction play, with Dave adding Detroit plus four and a half as his side bet, pointing to the Pistons' history of holding opponents under 101 points in five of their six wins this postseason and the brutal minutes load both rosters are carrying out of an overtime game where Cade Cunningham played 48 of 53 available minutes and Evan Mobley, James Harden, and Donovan Mitchell each logged 43. In the Western Conference, San Antonio leads Minnesota three to two and travels to Target Center as road favorites, and Dave likes the Timberwolves in the spot — citing the loss of emotional fuel that powered the Spurs' 29-point blowout in Game 5 after the Victor Wembanyama ejection, the correctable nature of Minnesota's poor shooting and paint numbers from that game, and his standing rule about backing home underdogs in elimination games, which Munaf reinforces with data showing the Wolves have consistently been excellent coming off losses and pointing to Anthony Edwards as a player who needs a signature moment tonight, with both hosts taking Minnesota plus five and a half and the over at 218 and a half and flagging Naz Reid three-pointers made and Jaden McDaniels points and rebounds as the ancillary prop angles on the Wolves side. On the MLB card, they fade Aaron Nola against the Pirates and Braxton Ashcraft, building the case around Nola's fly-ball evolution, his seven home runs in 42 innings, his trend of pitching worse in back-to-back matchups against the same team, and the road context at PNC Park tonight, preferring the Pittsburgh first-five-innings run line as the cleanest execution vehicle. In the Subway Series, Cam Schlittler — who is putting up historic numbers not seen since Walter Johnson in 1913 — starts for the Yankees at Citi Field against Clay Holmes and the Mets, with cold temperatures, wind blowing in, and a total of seven making the first-five-innings under the natural play for both hosts. Dave's best bet is the over in the Rockies-Diamondbacks game at Coors Field, where Merrill Kelly arrives with a 7.62 ERA and 19 hits allowed in 14 road innings, and Munaf's best bet is the under eight in Atlanta between the Braves and the Red Sox, with Spencer Strider making his third start back from an oblique strain against a Boston offense that has scored five combined runs over its last four games.

The All Local Afternoon Update for Friday, March 15th 2026

The Mets finally gave fans something to cheer about at Citi Field. After weeks of frustrating baseball, lifeless at-bats, injuries piling up, and a clubhouse searching for answers, the Mets sweep the Tigers and suddenly the energy feels different. AJ Ewing brought life to the lineup, the kids injected real spark into the crowd, and for the first time in a while Citi Field actually felt alive again. BUT… let's not get carried away. The Mets are still digging themselves out of a massive hole after an ugly stretch of baseball. One sweep doesn't erase weeks of inconsistency. The question now becomes: can they carry this momentum into the Subway Series against the Yankees? This weekend suddenly feels huge. The Mets don't just need competitive baseball — they need to win this series. Taking two out of three against the Yankees could completely change the feeling around this season moving forward. We break down: AJ Ewing's breakout series Why the kids changed the energy Soto and the offense finally waking up Concerns that still remain Injury problems continuing to pile up Why the Subway Series is now massive for the Mets The Best New York Sports Talk On The Internet. #LGM #Mets #SubwaySeries #Yankees #NewYorkMets #MLB #CitiField #LockedUpSports

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

Well look at this. The Mets are actually playing competent baseball again. After the disaster movie that was April, the Mets have gone 8-4 in May, averaging 4.75 runs per game while allowing just 3.33 runs per game — a massive turnaround from April's painful 2.81 runs scored and 4.46 runs allowed per game. Amazing what happens when the offense remembers its job description and the pitching staff stops treating every inning like an escape room challenge.Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe break down a Mets team that suddenly has energy, confidence, and — somehow — young players stepping up in huge spots. Jared Benge walked off the Tigers last night and continues to look like one of the few people in this organization who doesn't seem terrified of big moments. Meanwhile, Ewing gets the call to the majors and immediately keeps raking like he skipped the “adjustment period” memo entirely. The kids are alright… which honestly might be the most shocking development of the season.The offense has also finally started manufacturing runs instead of waiting around for somebody to hit a 3-run homer into another zip code. Small ball? Situational hitting? Productive at-bats? What is this, actual baseball? We'll get into what's changed offensively and why this lineup suddenly feels more connected than it did a month ago when everybody looked like they met each other in the parking lot before first pitch.On the pitching side, the young arms continue to flash potential while also driving everyone insane with inconsistency. The stuff is there. The command? That's another story. We'll talk about the growing pains, why catchers and pitching coaches need to react faster when guys clearly lose the zone, and why leaving struggling pitchers out there too long keeps turning manageable innings into full-blown disasters.Injury-wise, Juan Soto survived what initially looked like a scary ankle situation, while Francisco Alvarez was not nearly as lucky after tearing his MCL. Francisco Lindor's calf is reportedly improving, but the Mets still haven't given a real timeline because apparently mystery injuries are now part of the organizational identity.And now comes the fun part.Fresh off a 3-game sweep of the Tigers at Citi Field, the Mets now welcome the Yankees to Queens for a huge weekend Subway Series before heading out on a 7-game road trip through Washington and Miami. So yes… the vibes are finally improving. Which for Mets fans usually means preparing emotionally for something ridiculous to happen next.We'll break down all of it the only way we know how — baseball, sarcasm, chaos, soundboard abuse, and probably at least one unnecessary shot at the Yankees before the night's over.LGM. #PiitB #Mets

Daniel Murphy joins Jay Horwitz for a wide-ranging conversation about his evolving broadcasting career, his unforgettable run with the Mets, and why he still studies baseball history every single day. Murphy reflects on leaving the Mets after the 2015 season, the emotional return to Citi Field, working alongside Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling on SNY broadcasts, and the relationships that still mean the most to him from his playing days. He also dives into his love for baseball history, stories from the 2015 postseason run, fantasy football with David Wright, and why he believes this Mets team can still turn things around.

For about five minutes, it actually felt like the Mets were putting things together. Three straight wins. Four wins in five games. The offense waking up. The starters finally pitching deeper into games. Actual signs of life.And then Craig Kimbrell came jogging out of the bullpen like it was 2017.The Mets were one inning away from getting back to 4 wins in 5 games before Kimbrell decided to turn Coors Field into batting practice, serving up a grand slam that completely killed the momentum and dropped the Mets right back to 9 games under .500. Tremendous signing. Really elite stuff. Nothing says “stabilize the bullpen” quite like immediately detonating a game in the 8th inning.And the best part? Nobody even knows if the grand slam was actually fair or foul because apparently the Colorado Rockies are still using security cameras from a 2004 gas station. Every replay angle was obstructed, blurry, blocked by fans, or shot from somewhere near Wyoming. The umpires called it fair… and that was basically the end of the conversation because MLB apparently entered the witness protection program when it comes to competent replay systems in Denver.So now Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe try to figure out whether the Mets are actually improving… or if this team simply enjoys finding new and creative ways to ruin everyone's mood.The offense HAS looked better lately, which honestly seemed impossible a couple weeks ago. Marcus Semien is finally starting to look like a functioning baseball player again both offensively and defensively, while Mark Vientos continues to prove why the Mets keep giving him opportunities. The power is real. The defense? Still feels like every ground ball comes with suspense music.And in shocking baseball news, when the starters pitch deeper into games… the Mets actually win. Incredible discovery. Somebody alert NASA. We'll get into why the rotation settling down has helped and why Sean Manaea continues to look less like a reliable starter and more like a weekly social experiment designed to test Mets fans' sanity.We'll also cover injury updates involving AJ Minter, Jorge Polanco, and Francisco Lindor as the Mets try to survive long enough to keep the season from completely spiraling before summer even starts.The good news? April is over. The bad news? The Mets are still the Mets.Next up is 3 against the Diamondbacks before an off day Monday and a return home to Citi Field for a series against the Tigers.So yes… technically things look a little better.But every time this team gives you hope, somebody immediately drives it into a wall.LGM. #PiitB #Mets

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber jump from the NBA playoff chaos to the ballpark experience in New York, starting with LeBron James facing the possibility of a historic collapse. Even with age, injuries, and an undermanned roster as context, Evan argues that blowing a three to zero series lead would become impossible to ignore in the endless LeBron debate. The conversation also turns to Citi Field's in game fireworks during a blowout, why the Mets need to better read the room, and complaints about how loud Yankee Stadium has become. Evan and Tiki then circle back to the Mets' roster problems, David Stearns' roster choices, possible pitching fixes, and a funny draft party moment involving Sean Morash talking too much.

Kamala Running Again is Madness. Labor Sec Chavez-DeRemer Resigns. Tim Cook Out Too. Dozens of Vets Arrested in Capitol. Tucker Done with Trump. Dua Lipa Steps Up. Welcome to Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff, Episode 499—an all‑new, all‑gas, no‑brakes conversation with entrepreneur, anti‑poverty activist, Forward Party founder, candidate for President and NYC Mayor, and Noble Mobile CEO Andrew Yang. From Nas and Knicks heartbreak at Madison Square Garden to Mets misery at Citi Field, Paul and Andrew break down why basketball, baseball and hoops culture offer a positive, global vision of the America we could be—while Trump's chaotic presidency, Iran war “mayhem,” and a broken two‑party system drag us backward. They talk New York fandom, James Dolan's facial‑recognition surveillance, pricing regular people out of the Garden, and why the NBA is one of America's best cultural exports right now. Then they go deep on the issue Andrew warned America about years ago: AI. Paul presses Andrew for a blunt strategic assessment—“how fucked or not fucked are we?”—and Andrew lays out three core pillars: AI gutting jobs and super‑charging corporate profits, Washington's utter failure to build real guardrails, and data centers quietly becoming the “new humans” as they devour power and water. They dig into AI in the nuclear kill chain, Anthropic's internal moral fight, “tax the bots,” and why Dario Amodei says AI will wipe out half of white‑collar entry‑level jobs. Andrew also unveils Noble Mobile—his new effort with Scott Galloway to lower your phone bill and your screen time—and explains how the Forward Party, open primaries and a fast‑growing independent ecosystem can finally give Americans a real alternative to Trump's MAGA GOP and an out‑of‑touch Democratic establishment -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Ditch your expensive carrier and support Independent Americans!

The Philadelphia Phillies currently sit in fourth place in the NL East, only one win better than the New York Mets, and concern is starting to grow for a team that was a favorite to make some noise in the postseason this year. While things don't look sunny in Philadelphia at the moment, there is slight hope this can turn around. On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman are joined by a Phillies beat writer for The Athletic as they get into the major pitching struggles the team has been having and why a returning Zack Wheeler could be a major factor in turning their recent struggles around. With Philadelphia sports fans being slightly distracted by other teams in their area competing in the playoffs, now might be the best time for the Fightin' Phils to get their worst play out of the way. Later, Jake talks about his experience at Citi Field in the midst of the Mets' 12-game losing streak, the Houston Astros being decimated by injuries and Chicago White Sox slugging Japanese free agent signee Munetaka Murakami hitting a home run in four straight games. They also bust out “Why Haven't You Homered Yet?” to figure out why some notable players have yet to fill the home run column this season. 1:32 - The Opener: Phillies are in a mess 25:47 - Field Report: Mets losing streak hits 13 40:34 - Why Haven't You Homered Yet? 51:18 - Around The League: Astros decimated by injuries 55:57 - Murakami smashes four in a row Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

How much does a big sports moment actually stick with fans, and who really earns the spotlight? The conversation centers around a surprising first pitch at Citi Field and whether a recent college basketball hero truly resonates with a New York crowd, or if the moment fades faster than people think. From there, the discussion expands into bigger questions about timing and leverage in sports, including contract decisions and trade strategy, along with a realistic look at the Knicks heading into the playoffs. There is cautious optimism, debate over their true ceiling, and a breakdown of why having a closer gives them at least a fighting chance.
