They also discuss Edwin Diaz's inconsistency and how to balance the return of Jeff McNeil and Francisco Alvarez. Later, the guys bring back “Tales from the Pitching Lab” to break down what adjustments have helped Tylor Megill, and then go Down on the Farm to check in on Marco Vargas after his promotion to Brooklyn.

Between the struggles of the rotation and closer Edwin Diaz, the Mets have issues within their pitching staff.

Between the struggles of the rotation and closer Edwin Diaz, the Mets have issues within their pitching staff.

Gio isn't overly concerned about Devin Williams' early struggles, recalling Edwin Diaz's initial adjustment in New York. He criticized Brett Baty's throwing error and questioned Jeff McNeil's continued presence on the Mets. Regarding the Masters, Gio prefers top 20 bets. A caller shared details about Masters ticket prices and pickup. Jerry joked about shooting a 150 at Augusta. C-Lo's update included the Yankees' win. The show discussed Chris Russo's disbelief over Cody Bellinger's hotel chicken wing order and Keith McPherson's unfamiliarity with "scuttlebutt." Zach Gelb interviewed Ian Eagle about his and his son's Emmy nominations. Luka Doncic's 45-point return was mentioned again. The final segment covered the Rangers missing the playoffs, which annoyed Al last year, and the current Giants draft talk also bothers him, with a question raised about the lack of Jets quarterback draft discussion.

Hour 1 Today's show features Gio & Jerry as Boomer is out. They discussed Luka Doncic's 45-point return to Dallas, calling his trade and Denver's coach/GM firing unusual NBA moves. Relating this to the Knicks and Thibs, Jerry believes they can compete with Boston in a 6 or 7 game playoff series, while Gio predicts a second-round loss to Boston in the same timeframe. C-Lo's update included the Yankees' win (despite a shaky finish), Cody Bellinger's five-year chicken wing ban due to food poisoning, Gio and Jerry's fake scalped ticket stories, the Mets' shutout loss, and the White Sox's latest defeat involving Mike Tauchman. Later, Doncic received a standing ovation in Dallas. The hour concluded with Pat Boyle seeking a Masters golfer to bet on and Gio watching a tornado documentary on Netflix. Hour 2 Gio isn't overly concerned about Devin Williams' early struggles, recalling Edwin Diaz's initial adjustment in New York. He criticized Brett Baty's throwing error and questioned Jeff McNeil's continued presence on the Mets. Regarding the Masters, Gio prefers top 20 bets.

Zach Gelb interviewed Ian Eagle about his and his son's Emmy nominations. Luka Doncic's 45-point return was mentioned again. The final segment covered the Rangers missing the playoffs, which annoyed Al last year, and the current Giants draft talk also bothers him, with a question raised about the lack of Jets quarterback draft discussion. Hour 3 Justin Fields addressed media questions about the Jets potentially drafting a quarterback, stating he doesn't answer rhetorical questions but is open to teaching. Jerry believes Fields still needs instruction himself. The Steelers lack a quarterback, and Aaron Rodgers didn't appear at Pat McAfee's Pittsburgh show. The upcoming Kickoff to Summer show was mentioned. C-Lo's update covered Masters practice rounds. Allen Lazard is staying with the Jets on a reduced contract. DeShaun Watson claimed doubters will be proven wrong, but Gio called him a "slimeball loser." The show also pondered OnlyFans' profitability despite free content. The hour concluded with a discussion about Al Leiter's field in Bayville, NJ, where Jerry's son recently played, noting Al's funding of the field. Hour 4 Thibs' job might be in jeopardy if the Knicks underperform in the playoffs, especially with Michael Malone available. The Rangers will have a new coach next season, highlighting the NHL's trend of rehiring coaches. The show questioned why good coaches are repeatedly fired instead of addressing player issues. A caller described an agent interacting with OnlyFans customers. Another asked Gio about breathing magnets, which didn't help him; he plans to try mouth "hostage tape." C-Lo's final update included Adam Schein's anger at optimism following the Knicks' loss to the Celtics, Jason Day's correction of a reporter's phrase, and the disappointment of Sam Rosen missing playoff games in his final season. The Moment of the Day was a humorous suggestion of an OnlyFans featuring Fred Couples. The show concluded with a discussion about golf spectators getting hit by stray balls.

In this episode of Three Inning Fan – The Podcast with Kelley Franco, it's a spring training wrap up for the New York teams and then a tour around MLB. First we take a look at the Yankees' rotation and who the wild cards are who have to come up big. Then we discuss Austin Wells hitting leadoff – the pros and cons, and how it's worked in spring training so far. We talk about the Mets and how their infield looks with McNeil out for a few weeks and the young guns who will be stepping in. We examine the superpower of Lindor, Alonso and Soto that no one talks about. How about Edwin Diaz – can he ever repeat 2022 given his low spring velocity? And then we talk about how the Mets can plan to depose the Dodgers this October. We also get outside the New York Bubble – and look at the Dodgers in Japan and how it reflects MLB's global growth, the Rays stadium debacle, and Ron Washington going even more old school on the Angels' players. And of course, we take a look at what's good to eat while you are watching your very last spring training games – and a delicious secret weapon for Lent (for the Catholic contingent!).*Music by Podington Bear

SERIES 3 EPISODE 47: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has now finally OVERTLY threatened to shut down the free press in the country, then repeated that threat in a speech at Detroit, and then descended IN that speech to meandering gibberish, the kind of incoherence that would get you institutionalized whether you were 28 or 78 – like him. “A FAKE NEWS SCAM, which is totally illegal. TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE.” Once again, he MEANS this. The intent is to punish, bankrupt, prosecute, anybody who criticizes him – that includes CBS, that includes me, and like all totalitarians and dictators that threat to destroy critics will soon or late include YOU. But there is within the threat something almost as frightening. CBS does not HAVE a license. News organizations do not HAVE licenses. Individual over-the-air tv and radio stations HAVE licenses, but if he really managed to take their licenses CBS Television would still exist. So would 60 Minutes. He does not understand this. He is wrong about it. And as we have seen for a decade, when he is wrong, there is only one way out: what he is wrong about, must be CHANGED, so he's RIGHT about it. What Trump is saying is: if he regains power there WILL BE LICENSES for news organizations, and the constitution be damned. Trump also descended into ugly bodily noises and the intellectual skill of a Roomba. And to prove he really was Michigan's Man Of The Year in 2004 he finally produced a newspaper article - from 2023. About 2013. Which was immediately corrected to confirm he'd never been given such an award. A NOTE ABOUT POLLS: If you're panicking, that's part of the plan. There really has been almost no movement in any of the polling averages in three months, and some of the outliers are beyond dubious. The TIPP Pennsylvania poll showing Trump ahead by a point-and-a-half among "likely voters" hides the fact that the data among "registered voters" is Harris by five! How did they doctor that? They cut out almost all the voters from Philadelphia. B-Block (23:08) A LITTLE INSIDE BASEBALL: What happens when one of our celebrity announcers hears the "Toccata" theme from "Worst Persons" at a New York Yankees Playoff game? (27:23) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Should the part of a radio broadcast where the baseball relief pitcher comes in by sponsored by an anti-choking suction device? Kari Lake has a rough night with initials and genders. And The New York Times is right back to cowering before Trump. He talks eugenics and purging migrants; they talk "fascination with genes." C-Block (38:00) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: If you ever thought the impossible stupidity began recently - how could people that dumb afford to travel that far - you're wrong. Thurber's 1937 story tells of an American traveler he met in England who was deeply offended when forced to read Macbeth because she was convinced Shakespeare had incorrectly identified the murderer, in "The Macbeth Murder Mystery."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We talked about Boomer's love of 1010 WINS and all the crime they cover. Then we took a ton of calls from Mets fans. Francisco Lindor is the perfect player for this team right now. Keith Hernandez was responding to a political tweet right in the middle of everything going on in the ninth inning of the Mets game (he was home of course as he was not broadcasting). Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with the Francisco Lindor grand slam as called by Howie Rose. Edwin Diaz kept it interesting as he always does. Pete Alonso changed his walk up song to ‘American Pie'. Bryce Harper was very complimentary to the Mets after the game. Giancarlo Stanton hit a double and a HR and we heard John Sterling on the call. Aaron Rodgers resents accusations that he got Rob Saleh fired. He said he doesn't have that kind of power. The Moment of The Day: A caller who is blind said he listens to 5 games at 1 time. Can he listen to 5 different conversations at the same time? We put him to the test. In the final segment of the show, noted Mets fan Frank The Tank calls in.

From 'Rico Brogna' (subscribe here): The Mets offense continued to fight back but Edwin Diaz and Tylor Megill couldn't execute. Series is headed back to Citi-Field tied at one a piece.
