Podcast appearances and mentions of Giancarlo Stanton

The Yankees eliminated the Red Sox, but the biggest question immediately shifts to Aaron Judge and whether he will return for the Division Series against Tampa Bay. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate how much Judge can realistically play, whether the Yankees would risk him in the outfield, and why his return could leave Giancarlo Stanton without a roster spot. They also explain why this Yankees team feels different, from its dominant rotation to the impact of young players and a lineup no longer completely dependent on home runs. The conversation also turns to the Giants after Joey Porter Jr. lands with Dallas and reports emerge that Marvin Harrison Jr. could become available. Tiki raises concerns about Harrison's effort, while the possibility of adding his talent to the Giants sparks a bigger debate about risk, coaching and the future of New York's offense.

Aaron Judge wants back in the Yankees lineup for the Division Series, but his uncertain role creates a major roster decision. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate whether Judge can handle the outfield, especially on Tampa Bay's turf, and whether his return could make Giancarlo Stanton expendable after Stanton never received an at-bat against Boston. The guys are stunned the Yankees never used Stanton even with the Wild Card clincher out of reach, raising questions about whether he was truly part of their plans or simply a threat off the bench. Evan argues that even a less-than-100-percent Judge changes how opponents attack the Yankees lineup, while the crew debates whether the Wild Card round even feels like the real postseason.

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...

Giancarlo Stanton's Yankees legacy takes center stage as Evan Roberts pushes back on the criticism surrounding all the regular-season games he has missed. Evan points to Stanton's postseason availability and production, arguing that if October is what ultimately matters for the Yankees, his playoff résumé has to carry enormous weight. The debate turns to how the Yankees should actually use Stanton after more than five months without a game. Rather than disrupt the lineup, the expectation is that Stanton becomes a dangerous late-game bat off the bench. Evan even lays out the dream scenario: Stanton spending the night preparing in the cage before Aaron Boone calls on him for one unforgettable Kirk Gibson-style moment.

Giancarlo Stanton's return sparks a passionate defense of his Yankees legacy. Evan Roberts argues that despite all the missed regular-season time, Stanton has repeatedly found a way to be available when October arrives, and his postseason production deserves far more respect than it gets. That leads directly back to Aaron Judge. Evan believes Judge wanted to play in the Wild Card round, but the Yankees stepped in and protected their long-term investment, while Stanton was given the green light because his future carries far less risk. The conversation also turns to Boston activating Garrett Crochet after months away, Trent Grisham making the Yankees roster, and the remarkable number of major roster gambles surrounding this Yankees-Red Sox series.

The Yankees are taking an aggressive approach into the Wild Card round, carrying only 10 pitchers and loading Aaron Boone's bench with offensive options. Evan Roberts loves the strategy, arguing that Boone can treat his starting lineup as temporary and attack every matchup with weapons like Giancarlo Stanton, Jazz Chisholm, Anthony Volpe and Ryan McMahon. The biggest decisions may come early. Evan explains why he would start Volpe over Chisholm against the lefty, while the deep bench gives Boone freedom to make moves by the fourth or fifth inning. Stanton's return also sparks debate over whether a hitter who has been out for months can still be trusted in the biggest spot.

The Giants' trade for J.J. McCarthy sparks a major debate about what comes next for Jaxson Dart, Jameis Winston and New York's quarterback room. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down why Minnesota giving up on McCarthy does not guarantee he will fail, how John Harbaugh could unlock him, and why a fifth-round pick is a worthwhile gamble for a former first-round quarterback. They also examine the uncomfortable possibility of McCarthy pushing Dart or Winston if he takes advantage of his opportunity. The Yankees unveil an unconventional Wild Card roster loaded with position players, opening the door for Aaron Boone to aggressively deploy Jazz Chisholm, Anthony Volpe and Giancarlo Stanton. Plus, Case Keenum's huge performance gets attention, and Posted and Toasted digs up old J.J. McCarthy takes from around WFAN.

Aaron Judge is officially off the Yankees' Wild Card roster, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate why the organization finally overruled its superstar. Judge wanted to play, but the Yankees appear unwilling to risk their long-term investment with the season hanging on a best-of-three series against Boston. Evan argues there can be no Judge excuse if the Yankees lose. Meanwhile, Giancarlo Stanton is somehow back after not playing since April 24. Evan praises Stanton's postseason toughness and believes he could still deliver a memorable October moment as a dangerous bat off the bench. The conversation turns to Stanton's complicated Yankees legacy, his remarkable playoff availability despite years of regular-season injuries, Trent Grisham's return, and how the Yankees should build their roster around a rotation expected to carry a heavy postseason workload.

With today's 10 a.m. deadline for the Yankees' Wild Card roster approaching, Gio doubts Aaron Judge makes the cut but expects Giancarlo Stanton will, before a caller shared her experience visiting the new Bills stadium. Jerry's update kicked off with Boomer discussing highly drafted QBs who lasted two seasons or fewer, followed by Cam Schlittler on getting the start tonight and sounds of the Bears beating the Eagles after Andy Dalton's endzone pick. Rounding out the hour, an unhappy Brodes chimed in about the Iggles, John Harbaugh addressed J.J. McCarthy challenging Jameis and losing Brian Burns for the season, and the guys previewed the Yankees watch party alongside the Rangers' season kickoff tonight.

The Bears rolled past the Eagles behind Case Keenum following a Jalen Hurts injury and Andy Dalton endzone pick, leading Ben Johnson to hail it as their cleanest win to date—a performance Boomer Esiason thinks spells trouble for the Jets. Meanwhile, the Giants' acquisition of J.J. McCarthy behind Jameis Winston sparked debate on when he might challenge for the starting job, while John Harbaugh weighed in on both QBs and confirmed Brian Burns is lost for the season. Mets president David Stearns addressed Pete Alonso's year and the constant pressure to construct a winner. For the Yankees, Cam Schlittler gets the nod tonight against Boston, with Wild Card roster speculation culminating in Jack Curry's report that Aaron Judge was left off while Giancarlo Stanton made it. Rounding out the sports action, the Rangers open their season tonight, Mike Brown spoke at Knicks media day, and LeBron James reflected on how New York's championship impacted his retirement plans.

Aaron Judge plans to fight his way back for the Yankees' postseason run, but his injured calf creates a massive risk-reward decision. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether Judge should play through the injury, the danger of a potentially worse setback, and why Judge made it clear he intends to return as the Yankees' right fielder. They also examine Judge's growing power within the organization and whether his postseason legacy factors into his urgency to play. Plus, the Giants search for quarterback depth behind Jameis Winston, with names including Jalen Milroe and Zach Wilson entering the conversation. The hour also hits the Yankees' potential returns of Giancarlo Stanton and Trent Grisham and how both could fit into the postseason roster.

Aaron Judge belongs in the Yankees' postseason lineup if he's healthy enough to play, regardless of how well the team performed without him. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber push back on the idea that the Yankees should simply stick with the players who carried them during Judge's absence, pointing to the impact their captain still brings and the central question of whether his return makes them better. Meanwhile, Giancarlo Stanton and Trent Grisham are nearing potential postseason returns, but neither should automatically reclaim a starting job. Evan and Tiki see Stanton as a dangerous right-handed power bat off the bench, while Spencer Jones has done enough to keep his place in the lineup.

Craig and Big Mac analyze the tension between Aaron Judge and Aaron Boone over the captain's calf injury and playoff status. They debate whether Judge's secrecy regarding his health is selfish while also comparing his injury history to Giancarlo Stanton's frequent setbacks. The conversation shifts to Craig's viral banana video, a fact-check of Sonny Hostin, and a radio ratings prank.

Introduction Ask an insurance operator to write down how a policy endorsement actually gets processed, and you will usually get about six steps. The real number is closer to fifty. The other forty-four live in the head of whoever has been doing the job longest, and they leave when that person does. Giancarlo Stanton, Co-Founder and CEO of Magiq, has built a company around that gap. His argument is that you have to know what the process actually is before you automate it, and most operations don't. The industry is buying agents to handle work nobody has written down, which is how you end up with a system whose decisions nobody can explain. In this episode, Josh Hollander and Giancarlo get into what it takes to pull a process out of a competent person's head, why the exceptions matter more than the normal path, and what changed in one support operation once someone finally mapped the work. Guest Bio Giancarlo Stanton is Co-Founder and CEO of Magiq. He started in complex commercial litigation, moved in-house, and became General Counsel and VP of Claims at Swyfft before serving as Chief Operating Officer at Cover Whale. Along the way he advised Obie, FRG Specialty, and Sunfish. That path put him in the back office of regulated businesses during periods of fast growth, which is where he formed the view that the minutiae are the whole game. He founded Magiq with Nick Eich, previously at Groupon and then on the engineering team at Kin, to build the thing he kept needing as an operator: a way to go from what should get done to proof that it actually happened. Key Topics -Your best people cannot describe their own jobs - When something becomes routine it becomes invisible, so asking an expert to write down what they do all day produces a partial answer at best. -The mirror problem - Magiq shows an organization its own process as steps one through fifty, and the response is almost always that leadership knew about step one and step fifty and assumed the rest. -Insurance runs as an ecosystem, not as silos - When billing misses a cancellation for nonpayment, claims pays a loss that should never have existed, which is why Giancarlo argues point solutions aimed at one function cannot fix the operation. -The exceptions are where the value sits - The flat cancel and rewrite that one person handles differently today than yesterday is what turns a bordereau into a conversation with your reinsurer about why the math doesn't math. -What mapping the work actually did - A support operation went from a one-in-five call response rate and an 8.8 day email response time to 96-97% call response and 5.8 hours, seven months in. -Sales is a process too - Mapping the inbound lead decision tree and empowering producers to end calls that were never a fit drove a 23% improvement in per-producer output and a $10 million gross written premium lift over a seven month engagement. -The staffing question - Giancarlo makes the case that doing more with the team you have lands better with buyers than headcount reduction, and that a business only profitable with no employees was never really profitable. Notable Quotes "You can't automate things you don't understand. And that, I think, is just objectively true. But that doesn't stop people from trying." "No one is sitting there running a business saying, I need more AI. They're saying, I need less cost, or I need more sales, or ideally both. And probably fewer errors." "People don't do things incorrectly because they want to. They do things incorrectly or inefficiently because they think they're doing them correctly, but it's eight thirty at night and it's their fiftieth endorsement." "If the only way your business is profitable is for there to be no employees, then you probably just don't have a profitable business to begin with." "It's really about making sure the mistakes don't happen, not making sure the people aren't there."

Giancarlo Stanton is hurt...again

George Lombard Jr.'s rough defensive weekend raises the first real questions about the Yankees' prized young shortstop. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash debate whether the miscues are anything to worry about, why his elite range still jumps off the screen, and whether Yankee fans are rushing to crown Lombard after being burned by Anthony Volpe. The conversation escalates when Shaun projects Lombard as one of baseball's future elite shortstops, while Evan pushes back on putting enormous expectations on a player this early. Plus, the Yankees' pitching injuries strengthen Evan's argument that a contender can never have enough starting pitching, and Giancarlo Stanton's remarkable postseason availability becomes part of the discussion surrounding his uncertain future.

Giancarlo Stanton may have played his final game for the Yankees. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash react to Stanton's latest calf injury, why his remarkable October history makes this setback different, and whether New York should finally move on this offseason. Ryan Weathers' elbow injury also reignites the debate over the Yankees' pitching depth and proves why Evan believes a contender can never have enough starting pitching. Then George Lombard Jr.'s rough defensive weekend turns into a heated argument over expectations for the Yankees' young shortstop. Shaun puts Lombard on a path toward becoming one of baseball's elite at the position, callers push back hard on the early Hall of Fame talk, and the debate quickly goes off the rails.

Giancarlo Stanton's latest calf injury could end both his season and his Yankees career. The debate turns to whether New York should finally move on from Stanton, how his remarkable October availability shapes his legacy, and why injuries to Ryan Weathers and Max Fried reinforce the idea that the Yankees can never have enough pitching. George Lombard Jr. then becomes one of the day's hottest arguments after a shaky defensive weekend. Shaun Morash doubles down on his belief that Lombard should eventually be among baseball's elite shortstops and reach the Hall of Fame conversation, setting off callers and plenty of pushback. The Giants also take center stage as Jaxson Dart's repeated trips to the blue medical tent become both a running joke and a legitimate concern heading toward the regular season. The show also hits Tarik Skubal's Dodgers future, the Jets' preseason flashes, Deshaun Watson and Cleveland's dysfunction, and the tightening AL East race.

Giancarlo Stanton may have played his final game for the Yankees after another calf injury likely ends his 2026 season. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash react to the bizarre setback, what it means for Stanton's Yankees legacy, and why his history of showing up in October made this injury especially stunning. Ryan Weathers' elbow injury adds another major concern to a suddenly thinner rotation. Evan argues the Yankees' latest setbacks prove you can never have enough starting pitching, while Shaun pushes back on how much the injuries really change the outlook.

The Yankees won another series, but lost Giancarlo Stanton and Ryan Weathers to new injuries. Even still, will the Yankees get to the World Series? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Giancarlo Stanton suffers another calf setback running the bases, setting off discussions on Aaron Boone's Manager of the Year odds, Aaron Judge's status this season, the Mets' irrelevant September, and Boomer wanting a Yankees Josh Hart bobblehead. Next, Jerry's update covers Jazz Chisholm's homer in a Yankees win over the Blue Jays, audio from Ben Rice, players thanking Karl Ravech, Bruce Beck interviewing Jameis Winston, Deshaun Watson on going to Cleveland, Shedeur Sanders on getting booed, and Wyndham Clark's Tigers first pitch. Finally, Gio calls out a bad Good Good Golf and Callaway commercial, followed by a discussion on the WNBA's lack of leadership.

Giancarlo Stanton had another setback. While attempting to run the bases, he hurt his left calf. The previous two times that he tried running the bases he hurt his right calf. We also talked about Aaron Boone's odds of winning Manager of the year.

Boomer & Gio kick off with Geno Smith's Jets performance, Deshaun Watson's feud with Cleveland fans, Enes Kanter Freedom's WNBA ejection, and whether NFL players could return to college. They move on to Giancarlo Stanton's latest calf setback, Yankees and Mets storylines, a cringe golf commercial, and WNBA leadership issues. Next, the guys address the media fallout around Ed Oliver's family tragedy, radio station bathroom construction, and the Toronto Tempo's taco-loving mascot. Finally, Gio looks at potential Mets targets, debates how dogs perceive their owners, and gears up for a potentially disastrous golf trip with unseen swings.

Despite having a good weekend on the field by taking 2 of 3 from Toronto the Yankees were dealt more bad injury news with Ryan McMahon and Ryan Weathers hitting the IL. Also, Giancarlo Stanton's latest setback will likely cost him the rest of the season. Have we seen the last of Big G in Pinstripes?

Episode 460: Welcome back from a weekend of baseball! Jared, Tyler, Dallas, and Jay Hay talk about every single weekend series that happened, catching you up on the latest you need to know around the league. After talking about Dallas's commute to work and concerts, the guys get into the mess the Houston Astros are becoming. Owner Jim Crane has fired GM Dana Brown, and Manager Joe Espada is not expected to return next season. Are these sweeping changes actually going to be substantive, or are they just hiding who the true puppet masters are in H-Town? We turn from manager firings to the news that former All-Star slugger Giancarlo Stanton is done for the season, with more injuries plaguing the aging superstar. The crew speculates whether this is indeed the end of Stanton's MLB career, as well as talking about Shohei Ohtani returning to the mound soon. 00:00:00 - Who Greets Dallas at the Gates of Fire 00:04:26 - Concerts & Scooters 00:12:01 - The Drive-Thru Coming Soon? 00:15:38 - Weekend Series Recaps | Phillies vs. Cardinals 00:20:59 - Dodgers vs. Pirates 00:24:04 - Red Sox vs. Giants 00:26:43 - Yankees vs. Blue Jays 00:27:39 - Brewers vs. Braves 00:29:09 - Rangers vs. Angels 00:30:47 - Padres vs. Twins 00:32:44 - Cubs vs. Mariners 00:34:40 - Royals vs. Tigers 00:38:46 - Rays vs. Orioles 00:41:18 - Marlins vs. Nationals 00:42:37 - Guardians vs. Rockies 00:44:28 - Diamondbacks vs. Reds 00:47:59 - Astros vs. A's 00:55:47 - Astros Starting to Clean House 01:06:39 - Managers on the Chopping Block According to Kalshi Users 01:12:02 - Giancarlo Stanton Out for the Season 01:22:28 - Shohei Ohtani Returning to Pitch Soon 01:25:48 - All-Time Draft Poll Happening Right Now | JTN Tuesday! 01:32:52 - Award-Winning Nugs 01:37:14 - Final Thoughts | Book Club This Week!
