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.
In this conversation we're joined by Devin Williams, senior defensive back at Bethel University, three-time All-Region cornerback, and member of the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team. Devin has been a leader for one of the nation's top NCAA Division III defenses, but his biggest impact comes off the field—where he's dedicated over 300 hours of community service. From mentoring students in Bethel's BUILD program to coaching youth sports and volunteering with Feed My Starving Children, Devin embodies what it means to be a true servant-leader.

BT and Sal celebrated the Yankees' routine return to the postseason, acknowledging it's an accomplishment that's often taken for granted in New York. Despite losing Gerrit Cole and Juan Soto, and overcoming early-season struggles like Devin Williams' high ERA, the team pivoted successfully with players like Trent Grisham, Ben Rice, and a stellar bullpen rebuilt at the deadline. The hosts agreed that while the Yankees are held to an impossibly high standard and have flaws, their consistent ability to be in the hunt—and potentially win the division—is something all fans should appreciate, especially compared to the struggles of other local teams. The focus now shifts to whether this flawed, yet dangerous, team can finally cap off a season with a World Series title.
In today's episode of the Yankees Nation Podcast, Ryan covered:- Yankees clinch playoff spot, chasing down Blue Jays- Judge and Jazz post-game comments- Playoff rotation discussion- Extend Jazz or Bellinger?- Devin Williams' resurgence
Sam & Ryan take YOUR questions including Carlos Rodon's status as a top 10 pitcher in the AL, Devin Williams' success, Anthony Volpe's surge, and the Yankees' World Series chances.

Devin Williams or Ryan Helsley, who is worse?
Hour 1: Another implosion Yankee loss leads the show
The NFL finally begins, Devin Williams implodes, Super Bowl picks are made, and much more.
Devin Williams and Ryan Helsley were both problems yesterday as the Yankees & Mets both lost. Plus, football is back tonight! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Hour 1 We get NFL football tonight as the Cowboys play the Eagles. The Giants open with Washington and then play the Cowboys and Gio said they have to win one of those games as they can't start the season 0-2 with two losses in the division. The NFC East could be a top division if the Giants figure out how to get some wins. We wondered how soon Brian Daboll would try to get Jaxson Dart into games. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with a preview of Cowboys/Eagles. Jerry is doing the game on radio with Brian Baldinger, who's in the NFL's ‘mangled hand' club. The Yankees lost in Houston as Devin Williams walked in a run and Doval balked in a run and then threw a wild pitch that brought in a run. Helsley had another rough outing in relief as the Mets lost to the Tigers. Pablo Torre talked about uncovering the Kawhi Leonard situation with the Clippers and circumventing the salary cap. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the Ryder Cup which starts later this month at Bethpage Black. Hour 2 The Mets took 2-of-3 in Detroit but left with a bad taste in their mouth with another bad bullpen performance by Helsley. This is what happens when starting pitching can't go five innings. They may ask Kodai Senga to go to the minors for a few starts but he would have to approve that. We also talked more about what type of Long Island crowd we're going to get at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. A guy calls in who has a business where he collects golf balls at Bethpage at night. Jerry returns for an update, but first he wonders how the volleyball girls on TV right now can afford to get to Bangkok. Jerry Jones was on Good Morning America talking about being a great salesman. Al Dukes is not happy with commercials on Red Zone this season. The Yankees lost in Houston and the home plate umpire was brutal. Helsley talked about his recent performances not being so great. In the final segment of the hour, Gio tells the tragic story of someone local who passed away. Hour 3 Al Dukes did a poll asking if you can watch an NFL game without betting on it, having a drink of alcohol during it or scrolling on your phone. We also talked more about the Red Zone channel having commercials and how much playing time is in an actual NFL game. Dan in Carteret calls about Boomer breaking Imus' record this coming March and Jazz Chisholm predicting a Yankees World Series win. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the called third strike on Jazz that ended the game. He was not happy with the call. The home plate ump had a rough night. The Mets had a rough day in Detroit, especially Helsley in relief. Russell Wilson said mindset is everything for the Giants. Boomer said the Commanders should run right at Abdul Carter to see if he can run-defend. Roger Goodell was on the Today Show and said it's a ‘maybe' as far as Taylor Swift playing at the Super Bowl. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer is getting a lot of requests for interviews now that football season is upon us. Hour 4 Is Andrew Thomas going to play for the Giants this Sunday against the Commanders? We also talked about the season ending injury to Alijah Vera-Tucker of the Jets. Both teams tried to build up their offensive lines. Boomer tells a story about teaching kids in Italy how to play football back in the late 80's. Jerry returns for his final update of the day, but first Boomer told us how difficult it was to shower in Italy in 1987. On PTI, Tony Kornheiser compared Nolan McLean to Tom Seaver, just like Boomer did. The Yankees lost in Houston as Devin Williams walked in a run. The home plate ump had a rough night and Williams paid the price. There are already tailgaters in Philadelphia for tonight's opening NFL game. Jerry is doing the game tonight on the radio. The Moment of The Day: Mark Chernoff's long lost daughter. In the final segment of the show, we gave our pick for tonight's Cowboys/Eagles game.

Following the Yankees sweeping the Nationals and beating the White Sox in a series, they start their series in Houston, and it has all the storylines. The next 2 weeks for the Yankees will tell us a lot about where they will finish in the standings and how they match up against playoff teams. We discuss last night's debacle yet again with Devin Williams, Anthony Volpe continues to be bad, and why Giancarlo Stanton could carry them again in October. Stick around and make sure you subscribe!!!
Devin Williams did it again and don't blame the umpire. The Yankees can erase an ugly loss with a game and series win on Thursday.
En la edición de hoy de Baseball News hablamos del polémico y bochornoso arbitraje de Brian Walsh, cuyas decisiones en la novena entrada desataron la furia de los Yankees.

Sal and BT dissect a painful Yankees loss to the Houston Astros, a game they believe exposed the team's core flaws despite their strong regular-season record. Sal expressed frustration with the inconsistent and sloppy play, particularly with Devin Williams and the bullpen, while BT focused on the larger pattern of the Yankees struggling against quality teams. Both agreed that the umpire's poor calls were a factor but not the ultimate reason for the loss, highlighting instead the team's shaky defense, bullpen issues, and mental lapses. They concluded that while the Yankees' potent offense can win games, their underlying problems make them an "imperfect" team with an uncertain path to a World Series.
In a fiery segment, BT and Sal tore into the Yankees after their latest loss, blaming both a terrible, "Red Sox fan" umpire and the continued struggles of closer Devin Williams. The duo expressed frustration that the team can't get out of its own way, pointing to the bullpen's collapse and the bad luck of the umpires. They also briefly touched on the Mets' situation, with the news that pitching prospect Brandon Sproat is close to being called up, offering a glimmer of hope for a franchise that's also been struggling.
In a fiery segment, BT and Sal tore into the New York sports scene after a night of frustrating losses. They dissected the Yankees' painful defeat, pointing fingers at a historically bad umpire and the bullpen's ongoing implosion, led by a struggling Devin Williams. The frustration didn't stop there, as they also hammered the Mets for their own bullpen woes, specifically Ryan Helsley's dreadful performance, and questioned the team's questionable roster decisions. The duo's passionate monologue covered everything from the teams' lack of accountability to the impact of the trade deadline, concluding that both the Yankees and Mets have significant, unresolved issues that could derail their playoff hopes.
A caller named Adam ignited a fiery debate by claiming that Yankees closer Devin Williams is a "losing pitcher" with "bad juju." Adam doubled down on a previous call where he stated he turns off the game whenever Williams enters, knowing a loss is imminent. While Sal was more understanding of the caller's frustration, Brandon was quick to defend Williams' overall track record, despite acknowledging his recent struggles. The hosts debated whether Williams' current performance is an indictment of his ability or just a temporary slump, but the caller's passionate argument about Williams' negative impact on the team resonated with both hosts.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Bradfo was boots on the ground at Yankee Stadium for the big four-game series in the Bronx and came away with two potentially crucial conversations when it comes to deciding the postseason. The first is with Lucas Giolito, who reveals some truly telling stories regarding what makes the Red Sox's clubhouse dynamic a difference-maker. And the second is with Yankees reliever Devin Williams, whose one-of-a-kind pitch - the Airbender changeup - is shaping up as a true difference-maker. It's why we wanted to give you the what's what when it came to both the clubhouse and the pitch.
