Ben Maller talks about the forecast on Aaron Judge's return to the Yankees, Carlos Beltran complaining about the red flags around Astros cheating investigation, the odds of Beltran landing the Mets manager gig, Maller's Mountain of Money: Chris Cornell Edition, and more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carlos Beltran confirmed the Mets approached him about managing, and Evan Roberts believes his answer revealed something much bigger. Evan predicts Beltran will manage a New York team next season, warning Mets fans that the Yankees remain a legitimate threat if Brian Cashman moves on from Aaron Boone. Tiki Barber hears more hesitation, arguing Beltran may prefer his comfortable advisory role over the risks of managing. Evan also blasts the Mets for firing Beltran after the Astros scandal and explains why the unfinished business still matters. Plus, the crew debates LeBron James' most entertaining destination, reacts to ESPN and NFL Network layoffs, examines whether Aaron Judge truly provides lineup protection for Cody Bellinger, and reaches a breaking point with the Mets, wildfire smoke and an overused wrestling gimmick.

Carlos Beltran confirmed the Mets approached him about managing, but his answer convinced Evan Roberts that he is waiting for the right New York opportunity. Evan predicts Beltran will manage either the Mets or Yankees next season, while Tiki Barber believes Beltran may be too comfortable in his advisory role to take the risk. The debate turns to Aaron Boone's future, the Yankees' past interest in Beltran and the unfinished business surrounding the Mets firing him after the Astros scandal. Evan also argues that Beltran's availability could push Brian Cashman toward a managerial change, while the crew examines whether lineup protection can actually be measured through the pitches Cody Bellinger sees without Aaron Judge.

NBA's biggest complainers according to Dillon Brooks Bryson Dechambeau controversy What did we miss? News of the weird

Astros vs Orioles recap Is Lance McCullers' contract one of the worst in MLB history? Thoughts on Argentina vs Spain What did you learn this weekend in one sentence?

Munaf Manji talks betting for Monday. Munaf Manji goes solo on this edition of Cash That Ticket, holding down the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed on Monday, July 20, 2026, while his usual co-host handles a personal matter, and he wastes no time diving into a packed MLB second half slate just a day after Spain claimed the 2026 World Cup title, with college football, the NFL, and the EPL all now less than seven weeks away. Munaf opens with a quick look back at Sunday's doubleheader split between the Yankees and Dodgers before turning to the night's marquee matchups, starting with Joe Ryan and the Twins traveling into Cleveland to face Tanner Bibee and the Guardians, a matchup he frames as a likely low scoring affair and ultimately builds into his top play of the day, the first five innings staying under four total runs. From there he shifts to Yankee Stadium, where Braxton Ashcraft and the Pittsburgh Pirates take on Ryan Weathers and a Yankees offense that has struggled to generate runs without Aaron Judge in the lineup, leading Munaf to back the Pirates on the money line. He then breaks down a series opener in Philadelphia between Emmet Sheehan and the Dodgers against a red hot Christopher Sanchez, who Munaf argues belongs in the National League Cy Young conversation given his dominant numbers at home, structuring his play around the Phillies on the run line rather than the straight money line. The show spends real time on the Boston Red Sox, winners of thirteen straight games, as they host the streaking Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park in a matchup with direct implications for the tightening American League wild card race, with Shane Baz opposing Payton Tolle and Munaf ultimately favoring the Red Sox across the first five innings rather than laying the bigger number on the full game given recent bullpen concerns. Munaf also previews a high total matchup at Wrigley Field between Jack Flaherty and the Tigers against Jameson Taillon and the Cubs, where strong winds blowing out are expected to boost scoring, along with a brief mention of the Miami Marlins as a value side against Ronel Blanco and the Astros. Before wrapping the show, Munaf reminds listeners about pregame.com's promo code STAR25, good for twenty five percent off any purchase on the site, including a discounted second half MLB all access package that covers every pick through the World Series, and shares that he is running a strong profit margin in MLB betting since he began tracking results back in mid-May. The episode closes with a recap of the top play of the day, the Twins and Guardians staying under four runs through the first five innings behind Joe Ryan and Tanner Bibee, and a preview of tomorrow's show, when Munaf's usual co-host is expected to return and the two plan to pick back up their ongoing coverage of MLB alongside their season long series ranking NFL win totals as football season approaches.

This week we had the opportunity to bring on Coach Stephanie Grubbs a strength and conditioning coach for the Houston Astros. Coach Grubbs has years of experience working in the collegiate setting at multiple Division One Universities and is now at the professional level. Throughout the episode we talked about the chaos that is professional sports, the importance of consistent language within an organization, and how at the end of the day winning is what matters. This is a great episode that provides insights into just how demanding, and rewarding, life can be in professional sports. As always thanks for listening and enjoy the episode. 

ITL opens the show by discussing the Astros' growing injury concerns and the increasing frustration surrounding general manager Dana Brown as the trade deadline approaches. The guys debate whether Houston still has enough to make another second-half run or if the front office has failed to keep the championship window open. They also put a bow on the 2026 FIFA World Cup, looking back at the tournament's biggest moments, breaking down the thrilling championship match, and debating whether it was one of the greatest World Cups ever. Listeners also weigh in on the Question of the Day: What's something you didn't get good at until later in life? Around The NFL returns with the latest headlines, including Cam Skattebo's failed backflip attempt at Fanatics Fest, an NFL executive being suspended, and other notable stories from around the league. The conversation then shifts back to the Texans as ITL discusses what Grey Zabel's early training camp experience could reveal about rookie offensive lineman Keylan Rutledge's development. Reggie continues his Texans Re-Watch series by breaking down Houston's Week 10 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars before Lunch-Time Confessions delivers another round of hilarious stories from the crew and listeners. ITL also hands out its Winners & Losers of the Weekend before Reggie uncovers an interesting statistic from his Texans film study that sparks a debate over whether it actually works in C.J. Stroud's favor heading into Year 3. The show wraps with Figgy's Mixtape, featuring plenty of shoutouts, a hilarious story about a Las Vegas rapper freestyling on the spot about a man who tore his ACL, and several other entertaining stories to close out the day.

ITL opens the show with growing frustration surrounding the Astros and general manager Dana Brown as Houston's injuries continue to pile up and the trade deadline draws closer. The guys debate whether the Astros have any realistic chance of making a second-half run and whether any success from here on out would come despite the front office rather than because of it. Then ITL puts a bow on the 2026 FIFA World Cup, recapping an unforgettable tournament, breaking down the thrilling championship match, and discussing the biggest storylines from the month-long event. The hour wraps with today's QOTD: What's something you finally got good at doing later in life?

ITL debates whether the Astros are capable of making a second-half run and whether Dana Brown has done enough to keep Houston in championship contention.

With every baseball team back in action tonight following the All-Star break, with the exception of the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, who returned on Thursday, it's time to take a look at some of the biggest headlines of the second half of the season. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman dive into key player returns, possible trades, and award races, including when Aaron Judge might return to the New York Yankees and whether the Detroit Tigers will trade Tarik Skubal. They also discuss whether Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani could make a legitimate run at the NL Cy Young Award and whether there might be a surprise contender for the AL MVP. Later in the show, Jake and Jordan talk about the trade between the Milwaukee Brewers and Houston Astros that saw Lance McCullers and Colton Gordon traded for Jayden Fielder, the Cincinnati Reds giving pitcher Chase Burns a contract extension and MLB restricting how teams can use iPads in the dugout.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner returns with a new episode of the What I Bet Podcast on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed from the Pregame.com Podcast Network, diving into a loaded Friday, July 17th Major League Baseball card while riding a strong recent stretch of 5 and 2 in his last 7 picks, 7 and 3 in his last 10, and 10 and 5 in his last 15. The episode opens with an early matinee between the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox, featuring Griffin Jax against rookie left hander Jake Bennett, before moving into the marquee matchup of the night as the Los Angeles Dodgers visit the New York Yankees with Roki Sasaki opposing Gerrit Cole, a game complicated by the possible absence of Shohei Ohtani and the continued absence of Aaron Judge. Warner works methodically through the rest of the card, breaking down Jared Jones against Gavin Williams as the Pittsburgh Pirates travel to face the Cleveland Guardians, a matchup that becomes central to the episode. He also covers Anthony Kay and the first place Chicago White Sox against Spencer Miles and the Toronto Blue Jays, Cal Quantrill and the Texas Rangers against a red hot Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves, and Sandy Alcantara leading the Miami Marlins against Logan Henderson and the Milwaukee Brewers. From there, Warner turns to Bailey Ober and the Minnesota Twins against Colin Rea and the Chicago Cubs, citing possible wind conditions at Wrigley Field, along with Dean Kremer and the Baltimore Orioles against Peter Lambert and a Houston Astros bullpen bolstered by the return of closer Josh Hader. He continues through Michael King and the San Diego Padres against Seth Lugo and the Kansas City Royals, Brady Singer and the Cincinnati Reds against Gabriel Hughes and the Colorado Rockies, Troy Melton and the Detroit Tigers against Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels, Cade Cavalli and the Washington Nationals against Gage Jump and an Athletics club currently playing in Sacramento, and closes the card breakdown with Landen Roupp and the San Francisco Giants against a surging Bryce Miller and the Seattle Mariners. Along the way, Warner shares a major promotional code, base25, offering 25 percent off any purchase at Pregame.com including his own season long MLB All Access package, dropping the price from 349 dollars to 262 dollars before the offer expires on July 27th, while noting he is up 21 and a half units of MLB profit on the season. The episode closes with Warner's official best bet, backing the Cleveland Guardians and Gavin Williams at minus 129 after building his case around Cleveland's pitching depth and bullpen advantage over Pittsburgh throughout the show. Listeners can find new episodes of the What I Bet Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify through the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed on the Pregame.com Podcast Network, with daily updates from Warner available at Real_G_Warner.

Every edition of Answer Us Back features your responses to/observations upon previous episodes of AMT, some of them many many years old - but today's episode is packed to the rafters with what you had to say about our most recent episode, AMT419! Detta has baked a version of the Tom Cruise coconut-white chocolate bundt cake - "A lot of faff, but worth it."  Anonymous from the Allusioverse has actually eaten a cake gifted by Tom Cruise! Not the coconut bundt though - a lemon one, strong enough to taste "remarkably like having your taste buds bashed out". Mmm, great. A different Anonymous writes about the practice of film stars buying end-of-shoot gifts for all the crewmembers. Alastair in Kilmarnock gives some fun Scottish examples of stadiums being corporately renamed... ...and Mark tells us some of the creative approaches that stadiums have taken to cover up their usual corporate logos during the World Cup. Meagan in Oakland CA wonders when, if ever, it would be OK to wear her Houston Astros shirt from 25ish years ago which has the Enron logo on it? On the topic of which fun British vegetables Dan in Pennsylvania could grow on his farm, Emily in Canada is screaming, "King Edward potatoes!!!" Dan himself writes back, noting the ladybird fu**fest that was mentioned in AMT419. As well as buying ladybirds to sort out her garden's aphids, Isabel treats herself to a few praying mantis egg sacs, to enjoy a miniature horror show when they hatch. And Erica responds to the previous Answer Us Back, where we mused upon the potential disappointment of seeing one of us audio podcasters in the flesh.
