Edwin Diaz is officially returning to Citi Field, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are perfectly positioned to troll a struggling Mets franchise. Evan and Tiki debate the impending crowd reaction, with Evan taking the unpopular stance that he would actually cheer the former star closer for his seven mostly stellar years in New York. Tiki counters that Diaz will face a relentless shower of boos, fueled by lingering resentment over how his departure was tied to the Devin Williams signing.
Edwin Diaz is officially returning to Citi Field, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are perfectly positioned to continue trolling a struggling New York Mets franchise. Evan and Tiki debate the impending crowd reaction for the former star closer, with Evan taking the unpopular stance that he would actually cheer Diaz to show appreciation for his seven mostly stellar years in New York. Tiki counters that Diaz is guaranteed to face a relentless shower of boos, fueled by lingering fan resentment over his departure and the organization's signing of Devin Williams.
The Freddy Peralta trade has failed, and the Mets may now face the humiliating possibility of sending him straight back to Milwaukee. Evan Roberts argues that New York must ignore the awful optics and accept the best available return, even if it comes from the Brewers, while questions grow about whether David Stearns can be trusted to clean up the mess. Evan also predicts Peralta will deliver his best start as a Met in his emotional return to Milwaukee, potentially making it his final appearance with New York. Then the conversation turns to the most Mets possibility imaginable: trading Peralta just days before fans are scheduled to receive his bobblehead at Citi Field.

England had Argentina on the ropes before a stunning tactical collapse opened the door for Lionel Messi. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and both rip England for abandoning its attack, sitting back in a low block and giving Argentina's stars the space to steal the match late. The conversation also turns to Argentina's controversial alternate uniforms, a caller's bold prediction that the Jets will finish above .500 and the pressure the Yankees would face in a World Series rematch with the Phillies. Plus, Gotham FC draws more than 42,000 fans to Citi Field, Aaron Judge's uncertain return continues to worry Yankees fans and Jaxson Dart's physical running style raises another major concern for the Giants
Aaron Judge's uncertain recovery creates the show's darkest scenario: the Yankees could win the World Series without their captain, turning a championship into a complicated legacy debate. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and the crew delivers its boldest predictions and biggest fears for the rest of the New York sports year. Morash sends the Yankees back to the World Series without the Dodgers waiting, while the Giants' optimism hinges on Jaxson Dart avoiding regression, reckless hits and an early-season collapse. The conversation expands to the Giants' suddenly open NFC playoff path, Brian Cashman's trade deadline pressure and the nerves facing young Yankees. Tiki also explains how England choked away its World Cup semifinal against Lionel Messi and Argentina, while the crew reacts to the wildfire smoke, Gotham FC's massive Citi Field crowd, Fanatics Fest storylines and the strangest moments from the ESPYs.
The Yankees are headed back to the World Series, but the Dodgers will not be waiting for them. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and Morash delivers his boldest prediction for the rest of the year while explaining why Brian Cashman can finish the job at the trade deadline. The optimism quickly turns into fear for the Giants. Tiki worries injuries could destroy a promising season, while Morash admits Jaxson Dart taking a major step backward would crush the franchise's momentum. Aaron Judge's uncertain recovery also sparks a fascinating legacy debate about what a Yankees championship would mean if their captain cannot return. Plus, England's collapse against Lionel Messi and Argentina, Gotham FC's massive Citi Field crowd and bold Jets predictions from callers.
Gotham FC just played their first-ever regular season match inside New York City proper, and 42,175 fans showed up to Citi Field to watch it happen.In this episode, LDG breaks down why the Queens Classic was a genuine grand slam moment for the club, even though the ninety minutes on the field left plenty to be desired.He walks through the business case first: a new NYC women's sports attendance record, set not in ideal conditions but through 90-degree heat and an active wildfire smoke advisory, four days before a men's World Cup Final just miles away at MetLife. He connects that turnout directly to the club's recently announced 2028 move to Etihad Park, arguing this was less a one-off spectacle and more a stress test the club needed to pass.From there, LDG gets into the emotional storylines of the night, including Sam Kerr's long-awaited return to the club where her NWSL career first took off, and what her ovation from a sold-out crowd signals about the fanbase Gotham is building in Queens. He also doesn't shy away from the rough patches: a chewed-up outfield-turned-pitch that caused multiple stumbles, a scrappy and largely uneventful second half, and a scary early exit for Jordynn Dudley after back-to-back knocks to the head.LDG makes the case for why "grand slam" still holds up as the right label even when the on-field product wasn't great, and closes by looking ahead to Gotham's next test hosting Seattle Reign at Icahn Stadium, plus what Washington's now five-game scoreless skid against Gotham means for a probable third straight playoff meeting between the two sides.Thank you all for listening!

Two things remain consistent in the world of soccer: fans still hate refs, and Victoria Beckham still couldn't care less about soccer. We break down why FIFA can't beat the corrupt allegations in what fans are dubbing “Vargentina”, plus how Posh Spice maintains her beef with soccer. Also in soccer, Gotham FC and the Washington Spirit are headed to NYC this week to play in the first women's-sporting event ever hosted at Citi Field. New York Giants and Gotham FC co-owners (and sisters), Carolyn Tisch-Blodgett and Emily Tisch-Sussman, join the pod to tell us why Gotham FC's relocation to NYC will grow women's sports, the differences working in men vs. women's sports, and whether Sam Kerr will take the pitch in her first match back in the NWSL.

Gotham FC Lead Owner and Governor Carolyn Tisch-Blodgett says moving the team to Ethiad Park in Queens, New York is part of strategy to make Gotham FC into a global brand. The team announced earlier this week that it will become the first women's professional sports team with a permanent home in New York City. Speaking to Bloomberg News' Carol Massar, Isabelle Lee and Vanessa Perdomo on Businessweek, Tisch-Blodgett described the upcoming Queens Classic match on Wednesday, July 15 at Citi Field as a "pinch me moment" and about the excitement building for the 2026 Men's World Cup Final on Sunday, July 19 in the New York-area.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Evan celebrates biking back to work, reflects on the risks of riding through New York City and jokes about what Tiki may have to endure when he returns to the studio. The conversation then shifts to the loyal Mets fans who sat through a cold, misty and completely chaotic night at Citi Field. Callers explain why they refused to leave early, even as the Mets stumbled through a 28 run spectacle filled with errors, blown leads and unforgettable moments. Evan also revisits the argument for trading for Tarik Skubal, insisting that the Yankees should focus on winning now rather than worrying about the distant future.
A local pitcher's feel good Mets debut turns into a brutal night at Citi Field, raising an awkward question: when can his friends finally start giving him a hard time about it? Evan also debates how aggressively the Yankees should pursue Tarik Skubal, where the line should be drawn in a prospect package, why the organization cannot quit Anthony Volpe, and whether a viral World Cup controversy was real or satire.
The Yankees are striking out at a historic rate, but Evan argues that their biggest problems run much deeper. With Aaron Judge's return uncertain and flaws throughout the roster, he makes the case for an aggressive trade deadline swing: acquire Tarik Skubal and build a rotation capable of carrying New York through October. The conversation also covers Cody Bellinger's baffling baserunning, Will Warren's struggles and why home runs still matter more than strikeout totals. Plus, Mets fans share stories from a wild, rain soaked loss that somehow became an unforgettable night at Citi Field.
There's one guest Emily brings back every single season: her sister, Carolyn Tisch Blodgett. Carolyn's had one heck of a year: she's Governor of Gotham FC (who won the championship again this year!), and she represents the family's ownership stake in the New York Giants. In this episode of She Pivots, Carolyn dives into what it's actually like to build something as it's happening in real time, the bets that could've gone either way, and all the unglamorous stuff nobody posts about. The sisters get into the night Gotham flew to Kansas City as total underdogs, why the new locker room design has an L-shaped entrance, and what's coming this summer as Gotham takes on the Washington Spirit at Citi Field in front of what could be the biggest crowd in NYC women's sports history.

Today in The Update Journal, we ask the important questions: have the Mets hit rock bottom, or did Citi Field secretly install a basement just for emotional damage? After getting swept in a doubleheader by the Cubs at home, the Mets have officially entered the “somebody check the warranty on this team” phase of the season. At this point, the fan base isn't even asking for a winning streak — just basic baseball functions, like catching the ball, throwing the ball, and not turning every inning into a group therapy session.Then, on the summer watchlist, Interview With the Vampire finally brings Claudia into the picture, and my blood pressure immediately files a complaint with HR. She's here, she's terrifying, she's fascinating, and someone should probably keep a doctor on standby because this child vampire does not enter a story quietly. She kicks the door open, changes the emotional temperature of the whole series, and reminds everyone that sometimes the most dangerous person in the room is the one who just got here.And finally, school is out, summer camp is moving in, and the building has gone from “final week chaos” to “field trip clipboard season” in record time. The pencils are down, the permission slips are up, and somewhere, a staff member is already trying to figure out how we went from graduation tears to camp schedules, water days, and organized summer madness before we even finished cleaning out the last classroom.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, Pride Month celebrations peaked with big parades in New York, San Francisco and some other cities on the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall uprising, which accelerated and transformed the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.A long and dangerous heat wave will blast a large swath of the central and eastern United States this week, the National Weather Service said, with temperatures rising ahead of the July Fourth holiday and feeling even hotter because of the high humidity that's arriving with it.And about 3 million fewer people in the United States had Affordable Care Act health insurance plans in February compared with the same time last year, according to new federal data.
Happy 4th of July everyone! This week we talk about our very baseball filled weekend. Starting on Friday when we drove out to Citi Field to meet a few friends of ours, Ken, Brian and Tom (Philly fans) from a certain favorite band of ours. We somehow enjoyed the Mets loss and saw some pretty good Citi Field fireworks. Then on Sunday we took another trip back out to Citi Field with our friends Jarad and Terry from Halloween Haunt 365 (also Philly fans!). Once again, we somehow enjoyed ANOTHER Mets loss (and got to see the Apple raise and hear a Freddy audio clip). We also gave these Philly fans a small tour of some of the good parts of our hometown in New York. It was definitely a great weekend and one we'll remember for a long time!

Shaun Morash is in for Evan alongside Tiki Barber for a loaded Monday show after a brutal weekend for New York baseball. The Yankees get swept in Boston, Aaron Boone's postgame message raises more questions, and Shaun and Tiki debate whether the Yankees are really in panic mode or just badly in need of a deadline jolt. They break down the injury concerns around Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, the cold bats of Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger, the Austin Wells problem, Spencer Jones getting pinch hit for, Anthony Volpe's flashes, and why Brian Cashman may have to go all-in. Then, the Mets mess takes center stage. Steve Cohen returns to social media for all the wrong reasons, a fan gets removed at Citi Field over a “Fire Stearns” sign, and Eric Chavez's comments put even more heat on David Stearns. Shaun and Tiki also dive into Juan Soto's role, Francisco Lindor's leadership, the Mets' broken culture, and why fans feel like the soul of the team has been ripped away. Plus, reaction to Chris Johnson's ALS diagnosis, a quick Rangers thought, Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s maturity debate, and plenty of angry New York baseball calls.
The Mets' lost season has turned into something bigger than wins and losses, with Steve Cohen facing fresh criticism over how he communicates with frustrated fans. The conversation centers on the fan removed from Citi Field over a Fire Stearns sign, Cohen's response on social media and the backlash over rising parking prices. Shaun and Tiki also touch on Yankees leadership issues before reacting to the Rangers adding young goal scorer Pavel Dorofeyev.

On Friday morning, the New York Mets made the decision to fire manager Carlos Mendoza after what has been a rough stretch, including a sweep at the hands of the Chicago Cubs at Citi Field. The Mets, who currently sit at 34-47 and in last place in the NL East, find themselves in dire need of a shakeup, but should Mendoza be the scapegoat for what has been an extremely disappointing season thus far? On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss how things have gone so wrong for the Mets this year and why David Stearns probably deserves more of the blame than Carlos Mendoza. After bringing in interim manager Andy Green, will the Amazin's be able to get a new-manager bump, like their rival Philadelphia Phillies did, and somehow get back into the postseason race before it's too late? Also on the show, Jake and Jordan talk about the Philadelphia Phillies' recent stretch of magic in the ninth inning against the Washington Nationals, where they took the final three games of a four-game set, winning each game with rallies in the ninth. They then get into Bryce Harper's interesting motions after his late-game heroics against his former team, the latest update in the MLB vs. MLBPA CBA negotiation saga and make their picks for this week's edition of The Good, The Bad & The Uggla. 1:36 - The Opener: Phillies in the 9th 13:31 - Harper vs. the Nats 22:07 - Mets fire Mendoza 41:15 - We Need To Talk About: CBA negotiations update 51:50 - The Good 1:00:36 - The Bad 1:09:21 - The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

After more than two weeks away, the crew is back behind the mics with a LOT to unpack. The Cubs are heating up, the Cardinals are making moves (sort of), and the Mets might be worse than anyone expected. The guys break down recent trades, division movement, and what could be coming at the MLB trade deadline, plus early rumblings of an increasingly inevitable labor battle. Ron also share stories from the road, including a trip to Citi Field, public transit adventures, and a surreal sports atmosphere blending baseball and World Cup energy. It's a mix of baseball, soccer, and the kind of off-the-rails storytelling that only happens after time away.
Craig Carton reviews Carlos Mendoza's departure statement and critiques David Stearns' performance as general manager. He considers the case for Wally Backman as a potential manager who could bring much-needed toughness to the organization.

The world is coming together and the New York Mets are coming apart. On Overpromised Episode 145, Covino and Rich make the case that the World Cup is healing the world, from Norway fans rowing in the Citi Field outfield and Scottish fans draining Fenway to Mexico taking over Los Angeles and Japanese fans falling in love with Texas brisket. Then they flip the script on their own team, arguing the Mets just hit the lowest point in franchise history after six errors and a home crowd that cheered against Devin Williams. Along the way: a Brazilian psychic's alien invasion prediction, Joey Chestnut going for hot dog title number 18, and the only acceptable rule for wedding and birthday gifts.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler open the new week on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a fully loaded Monday edition of Cash That Ticket, working through five MLB matchups and then delivering what Dave calls his strongest NFL win total call of the entire series so far on the Cleveland Browns. The guys come in off a split weekend, both taking their lumps and moving on with the goldfish memory approach that keeps the show rolling. On the baseball side, they start with the pitching matchup of the night in Detroit, where Garrett Cole faces Framber Valdez in a game the market has been moving aggressively, with the total climbing from seven and a half to eight and a half. Munaf lays out Cole's remarkable career dominance over the Tigers, a 10 and 1 record with a 1.84 ERA and the teams he has pitched for going 12 and 2 straight up, while Dave zeros in on the value of Cole at minus 130 and the case for a first five innings under before the bullpens get involved. In Toronto, Hunter Brown faces Dylan Cease in a matchup both hosts see as a first five innings situation, with the Astros bullpen too unreliable to back beyond that point and Cease's home splits revealing an ace-level pitcher who simply has not been getting run support. The Cubs and Mets game carries a significant weather caveat, with a 75 percent rain probability at Citi Field, but if it gets played both hosts fade Kodai Senga despite their deep skepticism about the Chicago offense, reasoning that Senga's recent run of seven home runs allowed and multiple short outings makes the Cubs the better side regardless. In Chicago, Munaf goes with the White Sox as a home underdog behind Anthony Kay, who carries a 3.08 home ERA and gets a Cleveland lineup that struggles against left-handed pitching. The Dodgers and Twins game draws both hosts to the Minnesota side, where Eric Lauer's brutal history against this specific team, thirteen earned runs in ten innings across his last two starts against the Twins, makes laying minus 155 with Los Angeles a non-starter. Both hosts land on the Twins at plus 128, with Munaf adding the Twins team total over in the first five innings. Dave closes the baseball segment with bonus looks at the Reds on the run line against Brendan Woodruff returning from the injured list, a possible under in Texas with Kumar Rocker, and the Red Sox in the first five at Coors. The second half of the episode belongs to the Cleveland Browns, who come in with a win total of six and a half and a roster that looks nothing like the team that went 5 and 12 last season. The Myles Garrett trade to the Rams for Jared Verse and three future draft picks wiped the slate clean, Todd Monken arrives as head coach with prior Cleveland experience and fresh Ravens divisional knowledge, and the quarterback room features Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel competing for snaps. Dave walks through a schedule that he calls extremely favorable, with the Panthers, Jets, Titans, Saints, Falcons, Colts and Giants all on the docket in winnable spots. He counts at least six wins from those matchups alone and calls this the team he feels most confident about in the win total series. Munaf throws out the bold take that the Browns could legitimately threaten for the AFC North title given that three of the four division teams have new coaches. Both hosts take the over. Best bets feature Dave on the Tampa Bay Rays minus half run in the first five innings behind Drew Rasmussen, who has been one of the most quietly dominant starters in baseball with a 0.88 WHIP and 29 strikeouts over his last three starts, and Munaf on the Yankees and Tigers first five innings under four and a half, backing both starters to control the early innings. Dave adds a weather-dependent bonus on the Cubs team total over four and a half against Senga and the Mets bullpen.
