A routine spring training play sparks a heated argument as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the backlash over Braden Ward bunting against Gerrit Cole in his first game back. The conversation quickly turns into a bigger debate about baseball etiquette, whether spring training should come with unwritten rules, and why some Yankees fans treated the play like a personal insult. Evan goes all in on the idea that Ward was simply trying to make the team, while the pushback centers on protecting Cole and questioning the intent behind the bunt. Along the way, the discussion expands into Alex Cora's role, the lingering edge in Yankees-Red Sox, the value of speed specialists on a roster, and a classic New York sports argument over whether Brooklyn and Queens should count as Long Island.

A spring training bunt turns into a full-blown baseball debate as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the outrage over Braden Ward laying one down against Gerrit Cole in his first game back. What starts as a small play quickly becomes a bigger conversation about baseball etiquette, player opportunity, fan overreaction, and whether Yankees-Red Sox still carries real heat. From arguing over Alex Cora's influence and the value of speed guys off the bench to a detour into the Long Island debate, the guys keep the energy high and the opinions flying. They also get into the Mets' 9-9-9 ballpark challenge, the best days to call out of work, Tommy Lugauer's tournament whereabouts, and a memorable Howie Rose story and call that brings some true New York sports nostalgia to the table.

A powerful Howie Rose call brings the 2024 Mets season back into focus—but does it still feel the same today? The emotional tribute captures the magic of an unexpected run, yet with time and perspective, the conversation shifts to whether that season should be remembered as something more frustrating than inspiring. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the tension between appreciating unforgettable moments and acknowledging what might have been, especially after the team failed to build on that success. The discussion expands into how quickly narratives change in sports, while also touching on Yankees spring training debates, Gerrit Cole's approach, and a lively argument over whether Olympic flag football could rival baseball in ratings.

Quarterback speculation takes center stage as the guys break down potential trade targets like Tanner McKee and J.J. McCarthy. With teams juggling youth, depth, and long-term upside, the conversation dives into what makes a smart gamble versus a wasted opportunity in today's NFL. The energy shifts to baseball with a fiery debate over whether bunting on Gerrit Cole during spring training crosses the line or is simply smart strategy. Calls pour in as fans clash over “bush league” behavior, while the discussion expands to Nets frustrations, fan experiences at Barclays, and even a few hilarious hypotheticals—including who could survive a nine hot dog, nine beer challenge.

The debate over Braden Ward's bunt against Gerrit Cole takes another turn as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to CC Sabathia's real-time response—and it only adds more fuel to an already heated argument. What started as a spring training moment now feels like a full-on culture clash about how the game should be played and whether anything crosses the line. As CC's take suggests the bunt may have been discussed beforehand, the conversation shifts into intent, gamesmanship, and whether veteran influence played a role. Evan continues to push back on the outrage, defending Ward as a player fighting for a job, while the opposing view leans into respect, timing, and protecting a pitcher coming off injury. The back-and-forth captures just how quickly a small play can reignite Yankees-Red Sox tension and divide opinions across baseball.

March Madness is officially HERE, and the upsets are already shaking the foundations of every bracket except for Pete's? Craig and C-Mac break down High Point's massive upset over Wisconsin and the hilarious "Lazy River" recruiting tactic that might be the secret to their success.

The rivalry never sleeps! In this segment of The Carton Show, Chris McMonigle (C-Mac) and Craig Carton dive deep into the "mind games" being played between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. C-Mac explains why a simple spring training bunt against a returning Gerrit Cole was actually a calculated message from Alex Cora.

C-Mac has a bone to pick with the Boston Red Sox after Gerrit Cole's return to the mound begins with a bunt. This sets off the callers!

A packed New York sports slate, led by a spirited debate over the Jets' quarterback room after bringing in Geno Smith. The hosts dig into whether the Jets should add another veteran, draft a developmental quarterback, or both, while also questioning what the team's long-term plan really is. Along the way, they hit on Aaron Judge's postseason reputation, draft-lottery tanking logic, and why fans never stop dreaming about the next big answer at quarterback. The conversation also swings through the World Baseball Classic, where the hosts separate the tournament's excitement from what will actually be remembered months from now, including Venezuela's title and the lasting power of truly iconic moments. They close with anticipation around Gerrit Cole's spring return from Tommy John surgery, making predictions for when he'll rejoin the Yankees' rotation and what that comeback could mean as baseball season gets closer.

With the World Baseball Classic in full swing, Christian takes a look at when would be the best time to play the tournament. Also, Gerrit Cole was gushing over Carlos Lagrange in camp. What is the best use of Lagrange for the 2026 season? To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

In a high-energy Thursday morning appearance on Sid Rosenberg's show, WFAN icon Joe Beningo joins from New Jersey to discuss the latest in New York sports. He opens with light-hearted jabs about his recent media feud with Mayor Zohran Mamdani before diving into the good news: warmer weather ahead to end a brutal winter. Beningo expresses strong support for President Trump's actions on Iran, citing decades of unaddressed attacks on Americans, while acknowledging some Republican criticism. Turning to sports, he mourns the recent passing of coaching legend Lou Holtz (who coached the disastrous 1976 Jets season), reminisces about college basketball's glory days before NIL and one-and-dones "ruined" it, and debates the Knicks' status as a solid but not elite Eastern Conference team (predicting 50+ wins, a first-round playoff victory, but no championship). He rips the officiating in their recent loss to OKC but urges fans to relax—the regular season is just seeding. On the Jets, Beningo shows cautious optimism in new GM moves (like franchising Breece Hall) but low confidence in head coach Aaron Glenn, suggesting a stopgap QB this year and a real franchise prospect in the stacked 2027 draft class. For the Mets, he laments losing Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz, questions the bullpen (especially Devin Williams), but sees contender potential with improved starting pitching and hitters like Juan Soto and Bo Bichette—if they don't make the playoffs, manager Carlos Mendoza and GM David Stearns could be out. He gives the Yankees a strong nod for their rotation (led by a healthy Gerrit Cole) and playoff lock, though the loaded AL East and Dodgers' dominance temper World Series hopes. Beningo closes by predicting a potential lengthy MLB lockout over salary cap issues, urging fans to enjoy 2026 while it lasts. Full of signature passion, honesty ("let's be honest"), and New York grit, it's classic Joe Beningo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Spring Training is officially underway, and The Chase for 28 is back for Season 6. Chris and the Podcast Padre break down what 2026 really looks like for the Yankees — and whether “running it back” is good enough after another 94-win season that ended without a ring.The guys dig into lineup concerns (Volpe's strikeouts, Wells' development, Jazz aiming for 50/50?!), expectations for Giancarlo Stanton at age 36, and whether Ben Rice is poised for a breakout. On the mound, they evaluate Gerrit Cole's outlook, the revamped rotation, and what to expect from the young arms. And then… the big question: Should the Yankees go get Bryce Harper? And what would it actually cost?It's optimism, frustration, realism — and just enough delusion to believe 2026 might finally be the year.Topics DiscussedSpring Training Opening Day reactionsYankees “running it back” after 94 winsVolpe's strikeout problem and long-term concernsCaballero's opportunity at shortstopBen Rice breakout expectationsStanton's role and realistic 2026 productionPitching staff outlook: Cole, Fried, Rodón, youth depthJazz Chisholm's 50/50 commentsHome runs vs. productive offense philosophyThe Bryce Harper trade debateFan engagement plans for 2026 (voicemails, live streams)SponsorSeatGeek – Use promo code ChaseFor28 for $20 off your first purchase.Connect With UsEmail: feedback@chasefor28.comVoicemail: https://chasefor28.com/voicemailInstagram: @chasefor28podLeave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify — it helps more than you think.

Spring training has finally arrived, and we are breaking down the absolute best (and most boring) storylines as the Mets and Yankees hit the diamond in Florida. For the Mets, all eyes are on top prospect Carson Benge as he fights for a job. For the Yankees, the real excitement isn't the games themselves—it's watching Gerrit Cole throw live batting practice to Aaron Judge and the big bats. But the most important conversation heading into 2026 isn't about the rosters; it's about MLB's new Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) Challenge System. We discuss how managers will handle the new rules, why Juan Soto's incredible eye makes him the ultimate weapon, and the incredibly frustrating reason MLB is hiding the TV strike zone box from fans. Plus, a hilarious live reminder of why you shouldn't blindly trust AI to look up your NBA stats.

Brian Cashman met the media and managed to do the one thing Yankee fans knew was coming but still weren't ready for. He pushed back on the idea that the Yankees are “running the same team back,” and in the process somehow made everyone even angrier. Evan and Tiki break down what Cashman meant versus how he said it, why Gerrit Cole's return is both obvious and not enough, and how the front office keeps leaning on last year's trade deadline as proof this team is different. The guys debate whether the Yankees actually improved, or just reframed the same roster with better PR, why the “growing pains” comment made no sense, and how losing Juan Soto still hangs over everything. Is Cashman technically right but emotionally tone deaf, or is this just another case of Yankees fans being sold the same story with new wording? Plus, a deeper look at roster flexibility, young players like Jason Dominguez and Spencer Jones, and why this franchise still refuses to leave “no doubt” heading into Opening Day. Featuring discussion of the New York Yankees, Brian Cashman, Gerrit Cole, Cody Bellinger, Anthony Volpe, and how this all stacks up against division rivals like the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox.
