Podcast appearances and mentions of Cody Bellinger

We kick off with the Yankees' 9-2 win over the Red Sox after Boston pulled Sonny Gray early, giving New York the momentum heading into Tampa. Gio isn't worried about the Yankees' offense, expects a 70% Yankee crowd on the road, highlights the unchecked sticky stuff on Gray's neck, and explains why the White Sox are baseball's best story. Jerry delivers his first update with Cody Bellinger's three-run homer, Max Fried on the playoff atmosphere, Gray's thoughts on his early exit, and Bryce Harper making up for a costly error with a game-tying blast. Finally, Jameis Winston reacts to the Giants signing JJ McCarthy, and we wrap up with a preview of the Rays series and whether Aaron Judge makes the roster.

Real October baseball is officially here on October 1st as we question who will step up as the next Mr. October for the Yankees. Callers flooded the show with hot takes, calling out Boomer and demanding "loser" Aaron Judge stay off the roster. Jerry returned with updates from the Yankees' win over the Red Sox—featuring Cody Bellinger's three-run blast—plus postgame sounds from Suzyn Waldman, Ben Rice labeling Volpe a champagne-bottle menace, and reactions from the Red Sox locker room. Finally, Jerry rounded up the rest of the MLB playoff action, Jameis Winston shared his thoughts on bonding with JJ McCarthy, and Mike Tomlin revealed the Minecraft city he's been building for 12 years.

We break down the Yankees' 9-2 win over the Red Sox, Sonny Gray's early exit and sticky stuff, and look ahead to the Rays series while debating Aaron Judge's roster status. After rounding up MLB playoff action with Cody Bellinger, Bryce Harper, and the White Sox, we touch on Jameis Winston's thoughts on JJ McCarthy before discussing Phil Mickelson's therapy and comparisons to Tiger Woods. Finally, we turn to football with a Steelers-Browns preview, NFL line guessing, and a debate on whether McCarthy or Tommy DeVito is more likely to start.

Jerry starts the day with the sounds of Cody Bellinger's 3-run HR and we heard from him after the game. Max Fried was asked about the atmosphere. We heard from Sonny about getting pulled at 70 pitches. Jerry went around the MLB playoff games, including Bryce Harper misplaying a ball in right field that cost them a few runs. He made up for it with a game tying HR.

Jerry has the sounds of the Yankees beating the Red Sox including Cody Bellinger's 3-run HR. We heard Suzyn Waldman in the locker room after the game. Ben Rice was asked about the celebration and said Volpe is a menace with the champagne bottle. We heard from some of the Red Sox players after the game. Jerry went around the other MLB playoff games. We heard from Jameis Winston on the ability to become pals with JJ McCarthy.

We kick off with a preview of tonight's Steelers-Browns game and a round of "guess the spread" before debating whether JJ McCarthy or Tommy DeVito is more likely to start. After a caller claims all the pressure is on a returning Aaron Judge, we discover Rami takes boxing lessons. Jerry returns for an update, but Gio first has Rami rank the angriest staff member, leading into Cody Bellinger's three-run homer and Sonny Gray's frustration over being pulled after 70 pitches. Finally, the Moment of the Day features a caller demanding "loser" Aaron Judge stay out of the lineup, and Boomer unexpectedly closes the show by explaining how they put a horse down.

We have three teams moving on to the divisional round — congrats to the White Sox, Yankees, and Padres, and one epic showdown left between the Braves and the Phillies. Bryce Harper went from fall guy to hero in the matter of moments. His misplay on Drake Baldwin's fly ball in left field gave the Braves a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the 7th, but back-to-back homers from Schwarber and then Harper tied the game. The Phillies won the game in the 10th after Alec Bohm homered to the opposite field in the top of the 10th. The White Sox scored 4 runs in the top of the 1st and never looked back. Chase Meredith delivered the knockout blow with a 3-run homer in the top of the 6th. Mixtape love to Cam Smith on his first postseason homer, and Jordan Hicks, who pitched well in relief in both games. The Yankees scored 9 runs on 14 hits in the Bronx to send their rivals, the Boston Red Sox, home for the 2026 season. Luis Garcia Jr. had a homer and 3 hits. Rookie George Lombard Jr. had 4 hits, 4 runs, and an RBI in the 2-game sweep. Our favorite pseudo-Dominican, Papi Austin Wells, had 2 RBIs. Cody Bellinger delivered the big blow — a three-run homer in the 6th to blow the game open. The Cubs PCA (frontrunner for NL MVP) and Alex Bregman went 0-for-8 last night as the Padres move on in front of a boisterous home crowd in Slam Diego. 20-year-old Ethan Salas became the youngest player ever to catch a postseason game. Gavin Sheets put the nail in the Cubs' coffin with a 3-run homer in the 4th. The Padres bullpen held the lead for a 4-1 win. By my count, there are 18 African-American players on MLB rosters in the Wild Card Round (8.6%). The Braves have the most African-American players on their roster, with five. This statistic will change as playoff rosters are set by round.

Deja Vu and joy in Yankee Land!  Another night with great starting pitching on both sides and another night with surprisingly good hitting up and down the lineup.Nothing feels better than sending the Boston Red Sox home, and this one is a full-on Bronx-style celebration. We react to the Yankees' 9-2 playoff win that eliminates Boston again, and we dig into how the game swings from tense to lopsided in a hurry. The best part: the Yankees put up nine runs without Aaron Judge and without Giancarlo Stanton, which tells you this lineup can win with depth, not just star power.I talk through Max Fried's start in detail, because it's a weird one: plenty of deep counts, plenty of traffic, and still six innings of strong work when it matters most. That “effectively wild” postseason outing is a win, but it also sets up a big ALDS question about command and what happens if he falls behind like that against a tougher lineup. I also highlight how fresh the bullpen stays thanks to two straight nights of quality starting pitching.At the plate, it's a true team game. I break down the turning point when Boston pulls Sonny Gray early, then the Yankees punish the Red Sox bullpen with rally after rally. Cody Bellinger drives in four, Garcia sparks the offense, and Austin Wells keeps delivering in October. And yes, even in a blowout, I have to talk about the defense, because one maddening Grisham play nearly makes me lose it.Subscribe for more Yankees playoff talk, share this with a friend who hates Boston as much as we do, and leave a review so more fans can find the show.Send fan mailJersey Guy Sports is available on all podcasting platforms. Listen on SpotifyListen on Apple Podcasts Listen on YouTubeListen on PocketCastsListen on iHeart RadioListen on Amazon MusicListen on TuneIn and AlexaListen on other podcasting platforms hereSocials Facebook, JGS Twitter, Threads, Youtub...

Two years after Juan Soto chose the Mets over the Yankees, Evan Roberts admits the early results have been painful for Mets fans. The Yankees have kept reaching October, while the Mets have missed the postseason, sparking a debate over whether adding Max Fried and Cody Bellinger ultimately left the Yankees in a better short-term position than simply keeping Soto. The conversation also turns to a fascinating Mets what-if: if Soto had stayed with the Yankees, would Pete Alonso still be in Queens? Plus, Evan weighs the emotional value of a potential Knicks championship banner night against a Yankees playoff game, and the Yankees make roster moves by bringing back Clarke Schmidt while designating Oswaldo Cabrera for assignment.

We dive into the disastrous Mets season after Pete Alonso's 300th career home run at Citi Field sparked visiting curtain calls, fan outrage, and debate over whether Steve Cohen, David Stearns, or Francisco Lindor is to blame for letting him walk. Meanwhile, Spencer Jones powers another Yankees victory over the Twins, Cody Bellinger delivers a two-run blast, and KFC Barstool weighs in on the Citi Field chaos. On the gridiron, Phil Simms breaks down the Giants and Jets, dissecting quarterback play from Jaxson Dart and Geno Smith, before we preview the Bills opening their new stadium against the Lions.

We continue dissecting the disastrous Mets season after Pete Alonso's 9th-inning, 300th career home run and curtain call, then take calls from frustrated fans. Jerry's update brings Gary Cohen's call of Alonso's homer, Dave Sims on Cody Bellinger's two-run blast, and Josh Allen getting spooked by a spider at his press conference. Finally, we look ahead to our weekly Phil Simms segment and Gio vents over ongoing workplace construction.

Jerry's back with Gary Cohen on the call as Alonso homered and took his curtain call. We heard Dave Sims on the call as Cody Bellinger hit a 2-run HR. Josh Allen was afraid of a spider while doing a press conference.

Welcome back to the Sorry to Interrupt podcast! Sean is back for a short Yankees Series Recap show right before they start their final roadtrip of the year in Minnesota as he gives his thoughts from the series against the Mets. Sean starts off by discussing Cam Schlittler's brilliant season and how the Cy Young may not be the only hardware for the star pitcher to win this year before pivoting to Gerrit Cole's recent struggles and what it could mean for his postseason roster status. Next, he hits on Ben Rice being 2 HRs away from 40 on the season, Cody Bellinger's hot streak and some news on Clarke Schmidt and Ryan Weathers. Everyone enjoy the pod!

That was a blast. The Yankees took two of three from the laughable Mets this past weekend.

The streaks are alive! Pat Boyle, Brad Evans and the BetMGM Tonight crew make their MLB hit picks, featuring Ben Rice, Cody Bellinger, Konner Griffin, Spencer Jones and Luis Garcia Jr.

Aaron Judge is finally back, and the Yankees now have 19 games to turn survival into a legitimate October push. After going 45-39 without their MVP, the Yankees stayed afloat, but Tampa Bay remains four games ahead and Boston is still lurking. The debate turns to whether Judge can shake off three months without real game action quickly enough to change the AL East race. The bigger priority may be getting Judge fully ready for the postseason, especially with Aaron Boone planning to pull him early from games. Should Judge lead off to maximize his plate appearances, or should the Yankees rethink how they use him late? Plus, the lineup looks deeper with Cody Bellinger, Spencer Jones, Luis Garcia and others surrounding Judge for the stretch run.

Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuna Jr. leads off today's episode after delivering a clutch performance that anchors an action-packed slate of studs, duds, and critical news. Corey Pieper breaks down an elite showing from one of fantasy baseball's most explosive stars, a massive wave of September IL additions and call-ups, the weekly Waiver Wire segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. Ronald Acuna Jr. headlines the top performers in a stacked studs section alongside Brayan Rocchio, Mickey Gasper, Cooper Pratt, Francisco Alvarez, Shota Imanaga, Cal Raleigh, Jeff McNeil, Zack Gelof, Blake Snell, Riley Greene, Carlos Rodon, Ryan Jeffers, Sonny Gray, Zack Wheeler, Alfred Molina, Rafael Devers, Christian Koss, Elly De La Cruz, Payton Tolle, Jake Burger, Bryan Woo, Ranger Suarez dueling Shane Baz, Jared Jones facing Ryan Montgomery, Max Fried matching up with Walker Buehler, Drew Rasmussen dueling Jacob deGrom, Yusei Kikuchi battling Braxton Ashcraft, Framber Valdez facing Parker Messick, Tyler Mahle dueling Aaron Nola, Paul Skenes matching up with Walbert Urena, Jackson Jobe dueling Gavin Williams, and Michael King squaring off against Gerrit Cole. The health and transaction wire was frantic over the weekend as Shane McClanahan hits the IL with forearm tightness, Dalton Rushing goes on the IL with a partially torn UCL, Jameson Taillon manages right elbow inflammation, Geraldo Perdomo was hit in the head by a line drive, and Luis Robert lands on the shelf with a hamstring injury. Additionally, Steven Okert, JT Ginn, Trent Grisham, and Ceddanne Rafaela all hit the injured list, Jac Caglianone deals with elbow soreness, and Max Kepler was designated for assignment. On the recovery and promotion front, Konnor Griffin returned from the IL, Nick Morabito, Carlos Jorge, Cooper Hjerpe, and Michael Arroyo earned big league call-ups, and Emmet Sheehan is set to serve as a bulk reliever on Monday.

Plus, Cody Bellinger and the bullpen come up big, and debating the lineup decisions that paid off, like playing Paul Goldschmidt at first base.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS6:58 - Cam Schlittler's dominant, though walk-heavy, outing9:16 - How Austin Wells rescued the second inning with two perfectly timed ABS challenges25:17 - Cody Bellinger unleashes a perfect game-saving throw from left field to nail the runner at the plate in the seventh inning32:54 - Praise for the trusted bullpen trio of Headrick, Blackburn, and Bednar shutting the door in a tight game35:03 - Previewing tomorrow's doubleheader featuring Carlos Rodon and the return of Max Fried47:19 - A reality check for negative fans: Comparing the Yankees' resilient, injury-riddled season to the last-place Toronto Blue Jays

Chris McMonigle is back from vacation with Boomer suspecting a buffet was involved, right before Al calls 9-1-1 over a dead bear in a Bradley Beach lake—prompting callers to debate whether it was actually a beaver. Gordon finally delivers his update, featuring John Harbaugh on Cam Skattebo's practice situation, Jeff Fisher recalling Vince Young misspelling his name in a letter, and Cody Bellinger's two-run double in a Yankees win over the Astros.

Chris McMonigle enjoys a custom song tribute before debating a caller over George Lombard Jr.'s defensive errors and comparisons to Derek Jeter. They analyze the Yankees' improved offense since Cody Bellinger's return and address concerns regarding the bullpen's depth. 01:05 - Manny Rodriguez Song Tribute 04:44 - George Lombard Jr. Debate 07:43 - Cody Bellinger Impact Analysis 09:15 - Yankees Bullpen Outlook

We start with the Yankees' loss to the Astros despite a Cody Bellinger homer, followed by a caller asking Boomer what type of quarterback he'd target as a GM. Next, John Harbaugh joins the show to discuss Jaxson Dart's playing status, Malik Nabers' Week 1 potential, team social media policies, and his secret to staying fit. Finally, Jerry updates us on Frank Reich praising a dialed-in Geno Smith and Mike McDaniel's ignored philosophical moment, before closing with a breakdown of Jed York's prostitution legal situation.

Gio refutes Joe Schoen's claim that he ignores criticism, followed by a look at the Vikings' snap split between JJ McCarthy and Carson Wentz, NFL teams projected to improve, and whether Gio is a "top 5 guy." Jerry's final update covers Boomer asking John Harbaugh if Jaxson Dart will play Friday or stay in bubble wrap, Kyle Shanahan addressing Jed York, Bill Belichick praising a North Carolina reporter, a Yankees loss featuring a Cody Bellinger homer, and Francisco Lindor leading the Mets over the Brewers. Finally, we discuss Robby Berger's ten-month battle with the shanks, the "sex on screen" Moment of the Day, building construction noises and smells, and sponsors pulling out of the Callaway and Good Good Golf controversy.

The Yankees 2026 season continues to give us a bit of hope, then pull the rug.   Up, down, Up, down.That Astros game didn't just hurt, it exposed everything that makes the 2026 New York Yankees so hard to believe in. I walk through a night of blown leads and bullpen breakdowns that turns a winnable matchup into the kind of loss that sticks with you, especially when it's Houston on the other side. The frustration isn't only about one collapse, it's about how often the Yankees bounce between looking like contenders and looking like a team held together by hope and starting pitching.I also get into the bigger “why” behind the chaos: roster construction, decision-making, and the thin margins created by a lineup that can disappear. I talk Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone, then zoom in on the trade deadline contrast between Garcia Jr. looking like a true upgrade and Ramos failing to provide the on-base skills, contact, or defense the Yankees desperately need. From Ben Rice cooling off after the All-Star break to Cody Bellinger's steady, all-around impact, the lineup conversation quickly turns into one question: who actually plays when the stars return?On the pitching side, I check in on Gerrit Cole's return to form, Cam Schlittler's workload, Will Warren's second-half slide, and the sudden trust issues in late innings with Cruz struggling and even dependable arms having blowup nights. Then I hit the injury report that keeps reshaping everything: Aaron Judge's rib stress fracture, Giancarlo Stanton's latest IL stint, and key arms like Max Fried, Clark Schmidt, and Ryan Weathers. The defining snapshot says it all: elite Yankees pitching near the top of MLB, Yankees offense near the bottom, and a playoff path that gets tighter by the week.If you're riding the highs and lows of this season, you'll feel every minute of this one.

The Yankees have won four straight and cut Tampa Bay's AL East lead to four games, forcing Tiki Barber to reverse his earlier declaration that the division race was over. Evan Roberts isn't convinced, arguing that the Yankees' lengthy stretch without Aaron Judge still shows a team only slightly above .500 despite the recent surge. They debate whether Cody Bellinger's return, improved offense from Elliott Ramos and Luis Garcia, and dominant pitching can change the race. Gerrit Cole's latest gem also sparks a bigger argument, with Evan making the case that Cole has actually been a better Yankee than CC Sabathia, even if CC remains the more beloved figure.

Pete Alonso's Hall of Fame future sparks a fascinating Mets debate, as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber wonder whether enough success in Baltimore could eventually make Alonso more closely associated with the Orioles than the Mets. Evan argues that reaching 500 home runs would likely be necessary to put Alonso on a Cooperstown path, with postseason success potentially influencing which team defines his legacy. The Yankees also face a looming roster crunch with Cody Bellinger nearing a return, and Evan insists Spencer Jones cannot be the player sent down after his recent surge. They also discuss Anthony Volpe's move to second base, the possibility of catching Aaron Judge on a minor-league rehab assignment, and Evan's mission to land the Howie Rose retirement-day Mets giveaway.

The Yankees are suddenly back in the AL East race, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are split on whether this surge is real enough to catch Tampa Bay. Tiki reverses course after four straight wins and an improving lineup, while Evan refuses to abandon the larger sample without Aaron Judge. Gerrit Cole's dominant outing also sparks a major Yankees debate over whether he has actually been better in pinstripes than CC Sabathia. They also get into Michael Kay's eyebrow-raising “offensive orgy” call, Anthony Volpe's move to second base in the minors, Pete Alonso's potential Hall of Fame path, and the roster decision looming for Spencer Jones when Cody Bellinger returns. Plus, the wild New York-area storms and tornado videos lead to a debate over what anyone is actually supposed to do when a tornado hits.

Welcome back to the Sorry to Interrupt podcast! Sean is back for another Yankees Series Recap episode of the pod as he reacts to the Yankees sweeping the Orioles in Baltimore to pull within 4 games of the Rays in the AL East. Sean starts by giving his thoughts on the series before diving into some other storylines from the week including Max Fried's return to the IL, Carlos Rodon's return to the mound, George Lombard Jr's continued imprssive showing as well as what the roster move may be with Cody Bellinger set to return this weekend. Finally, Sean previews the final series vs the Blue Jays this season in the Bronx. Everyone enjoy the pod!

How fascinating is the investigation involving Mark Walter? What will the Yankees do when Cody Bellinger is activated? The Athletic's Melody Gutierrez says the Dodgers are not rumored to be sold but neither were the Lakers so nothing is off the table. Learn more about your ad choices.

Pete Alonso's return puts the Mets' biggest offseason decision back under the microscope. Evan Roberts says David Stearns should show some humility and literally wear an “L” when Alonso comes back to Citi Field, while Evan and Tiki Barber wonder why Steve Cohen wasn't directly asked whether letting Alonso go was a mistake. Evan also owns his bad Cody Bellinger and Kyle Tucker take after dismissing Bellinger, while Tiki explains why Bellinger's defense and ability to handle New York matter so much. Plus, Tiki revisits the Giants' infamous 2005 loss in Seattle, and a historic 22-0 blowout sparks a debate over whether fans should ever leave a game early.

Cody Bellinger's return could force the Yankees into a roster decision fans will hate. Evan Roberts lays out the limited options, with Spencer Jones looking like the most likely player to be sent down despite showing promise. Tiki Barber ultimately agrees that Jones may be the move, while Evan argues the Yankees should consider carrying one fewer pitcher instead of sacrificing a young bat. The conversation then takes a lighter turn into baseball walk-up music and whether sponsorships could eventually invade one of the sport's best traditions. Evan and Tiki celebrate the connection between players, fans and iconic songs, including memories of Mets music that became permanently tied to baseball.

Craig Carton called out Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber for supposedly failing to question why Jaxson Dart returned to a preseason game after a blue-tent evaluation. Evan fires back with the receipts, proving they not only asked the question but debated it extensively, while Tiki explains why Dart still needs those valuable preseason reps. The first 20 minutes also bring encouraging news on Breece Hall's groin injury, though Tiki raises concerns about what missed practice time could mean for his Week 1 sharpness. Plus, Evan argues the Yankees must keep giving Spencer Jones opportunities when Cody Bellinger returns, and a Mets caller pushes for Kodai Senga to embrace “Ghostbusters” as his bullpen entrance music.

Craig Carton called out Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber for supposedly ignoring the biggest question about Jaxson Dart returning to a preseason game after a blue-tent evaluation. There was just one problem: they had already debated it. Evan brings the receipts, while Tiki explains why a young quarterback like Dart still needs valuable preseason reps. The conversation also turns to Breece Hall's groin injury and why Tiki worries missed practice time could affect his Week 1 readiness. Plus, the Yankees face a difficult decision with Spencer Jones when Cody Bellinger returns, Evan makes the statistical case for batting your best hitter leadoff, and the Jets debate whether winning now matters more than chasing future draft position.

Max Fried is back on the injured list with the same elbow issue that already cost him nearly two months, and Evan Roberts has zero confidence the Yankees will see him pitch again this season. Evan and Tiki Barber debate whether Fried can realistically return for October, why Carlos Rodon suddenly carries even more pressure, and how the injury reinforces baseball's harshest lesson: you can never have enough pitching. The Yankees also face a difficult roster decision when Cody Bellinger returns, with Spencer Jones looking like the likely casualty. On the Mets side, Evan refuses to call their four-game winning streak a playoff push but is enjoying the young talent and looking toward 2027. Plus, David Stearns leaves the door cracked for Andy Green's managerial future, and the guys debate whether winning down the stretch could change the Mets' plans.

The Yankees suddenly look alive, and Shaun Morash is buying back in. After another dramatic comeback and a surge fueled by George Lombard Jr. and Spencer Jones, Shaun argues this team feels different from the stale Yankees of recent Octobers. The pitching remains dominant, struggling bats are waking up, and the Bronx has rediscovered its energy. Shaun hosts while Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are away and explains why a healthy return for Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger could make the Yankees a legitimate World Series threat. He also tackles the looming Spencer Jones roster crunch, whether New York can still chase down Tampa Bay, concerns about the bullpen, and Major League Baseball's maddening TV maze. The next big test is whether this momentum survives once the Yankees' stars return.

The Yankees' biggest problem may soon be figuring out who actually plays. Shaun Morash explains why the returns of Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger could create a brutal lineup crunch, especially with Spencer Jones and George Lombard Jr. forcing their way into the conversation. Shaun believes Jones has shown enough to deserve a major role and argues the Yankees may even need to consider unconventional October lineups to keep their best bats on the field. Shaun also refuses to give up on the AL East despite Tampa Bay's surge, pointing to the Yankees' remaining head-to-head opportunities. With the Bronx energized by its young players and the pitching staff built for a short series, he sees a legitimate path to a deep postseason run.

Shaun Morash hosts solo and is suddenly buying back into the Yankees. After another stirring comeback, he argues this team feels different, with George Lombard Jr. and Spencer Jones injecting life into the lineup while Trent Grisham and Ryan McMahon heat up around them. The frustration with Brian Cashman's deadline remains, and Morash warns that Spencer Jones could still become the odd man out when Cody Bellinger returns. The Giants create an entirely different debate as John Harbaugh addresses the possibility of adding Terrion Arnold. Morash says that if the Giants' background work and the NFL's plans leave a realistic path for Arnold to play, the secondary is too vulnerable for New York to simply walk away. Malik Nabers' Week 1 outlook also gets a boost, while Jayden Daniels gets blasted for the terrible optics of fighting LSU over another quarterback wearing No. 5.

Jorge Castillo and Buster Olney discuss George Lombard Jr. immediately making his mark offensively and defensively for the New York Yankees, if the Yankees are the best team in the American League when Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger return, why the Tampa Bay Rays remain underrated, how Freddy Peralta hashed things out between Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, and why the Mets put out feelers on Lindor at the trade deadline.

The Yankees finally have a good problem, but it could force a brutal decision. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they argue Luis Garcia Jr.'s bat has become too important to remove once Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger return. Their solution could mean Garcia at second base and Jazz Chisholm Jr. losing his everyday role.

The Yankees may have a major October lineup problem brewing. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they argue Luis Garcia Jr.'s bat has become too valuable to sit once Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger return. That could leave Jazz Chisholm Jr. as the odd man out, with Garcia potentially moving to second base to keep the Yankees' strongest offense on the field. Ryan Weathers also keeps forcing his way into the playoff rotation conversation, potentially ahead of Carlos Rodon. The Jets bring a rare dose of optimism after Aaron Glenn openly admits that not calling the defense last season was a mistake. Tiki praises Glenn's self-awareness and willingness to change, while Shaun says the answer gave him renewed hope that Glenn can grow into the head coach the Jets need despite lingering concerns about the quarterback situation.

The Yankees finally have the dominant starting pitching they've been missing, but their lifeless offense threatens to waste it. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and Shaun sees reasons for optimism after the Yankees took two of three from Atlanta, especially with George Lombard Jr. injecting energy, defense and confidence into the lineup. Tiki remains far more concerned about a team that has played .500 baseball without Aaron Judge and still struggles to score. The debate turns to whether Lombard should already be hitting leadoff, how much patience Aaron Boone should have with Jazz Chisholm and Trent Grisham, and whether the Yankees can survive a potential Wild Card showdown with the surging Red Sox. Even with Judge and Cody Bellinger potentially returning, the Yankees may need their pitching to carry them in October.

Evan Roberts has reached his breaking point with the Yankees and officially declares their American League East chase over. Their lifeless offense, mounting injuries and growing deficit behind the Rays have convinced him there is not enough time to recover, even with Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger potentially returning in September.

Evan Roberts has finally surrendered on the Yankees winning the American League East. After two months of lifeless offense, mounting injuries and a growing deficit behind the Rays, Evan declares the division race over and predicts the Yankees are headed for the wild card. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts, and he refuses to concede, arguing that Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and a softer September schedule could fuel one final charge. The frustration explodes over Aaron Boone's decision to remove Luis Garcia Jr. from a close loss, leaving Ali Sánchez to bat with the game on the line. Evan and Shaun debate whether Boone misunderstood Brian Cashman's plan for Ben Rice, whether Cashman failed to add enough offense at the deadline and why Trent Grisham cannot remain the leadoff hitter. Plus, Evan makes a stunning prediction about the next New York team to win its division.

George Lombard Jr.'s electric Yankees debut immediately puts Anthony Volpe's future at shortstop under the microscope. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate whether Lombard can seize the job, how his ceiling compares with Mets prospect A.J. Ewing and whether his arrival gives the Yankees legitimate playoff hope once Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger return. The crew also questions whether Cam Schlittler is healthy or beginning to wear down, imagines John Sterling's call for Lombard's first home run and battles over a controversial Derek Jeter comparison. Plus, Keith Hernandez calls the Mets' traded players “garbage” before issuing an apology, Davante Adams reveals how he took No. 17 from Malachi Corley, and a debate erupts over how much a fan should demand for a prized home run ball.
