Podcast appearances and mentions of jeff mcneil

Mets first base coach Antwan Richardson sits down with Pat McCarthy and discusses Jeff McNeil's transition towards playing center field, Juan Soto's improvement in right field, and how the team approaches a pitcher when it comes to baserunning.

The Knicks secured another 20-point comeback win in Boston, mirroring Game 1. Callers discussed the Celtics potentially intentionally fouling Mitchell Robinson and the perspective of only watching the fourth quarter (Boomer disagreed with this approach). Another caller cautioned against premature celebration due to the Knicks' home losses. Jerry's update featured Shaq praising their "old school" style, and a Boston show likened the Knicks to "cockroaches" positively. The Yankees beat the Padres after Bellinger's seventh-inning homer, with Devin Williams' strong tenth. The Mets won in Arizona, highlighted by Jeff McNeil's triple and Juan Soto's two home runs. The hour concluded with enthusiastic Knicks callers, one anticipating a 3-0 lead and another questioning the sustainability of their comeback wins.

Hour 1 The Knicks won Game 2 on the road with another 20-point comeback as Celtics' shooting went cold, a "double punch" according to Gio. Knicks are undefeated on the road in the playoffs but have home losses heading back to MSG. Jerry's update included Kevin Harlan's call, Josh Hart on doing "little things," Mitchell Robinson feeling like a threat, and Charles Barkley wanting a night game for the Knicks on Saturday. We also heard MSG fan chants about Boston. Elsewhere, the Thunder scored 149 to even their series with the Nuggets, the Yankees won in the 10th after being no-hit into the seventh, and Juan Soto hit two homers in the Mets' win. Gio recounted his near miss at playing in the Creators Classic. The hour ended with Knicks fan calls. Hour 2 The Knicks repeated their Game 1 road win in Boston, coming back from 20 down as the Celtics' shooting faltered late. Despite the stat favoring teams up 2-0 on the road, Boomer is hesitant. Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson are playing well. Gio praised Karl-Anthony Towns' early performance. A 72-year-old caller hopes for another Knicks championship. Boomer shared an Instagram tip for checking hotel bedbugs, contrasting with Gio's towel-less, "sketchy" hotel stay due to budget constraints. Jerry's update featured Paul Pierce's confident prediction of a Celtics win (and subsequent barefoot robe walk promise), Celtics radio's reaction to a Bridges steal, and Karl-Anthony Towns on team unity. The Yankees beat the Padres with a Trent Grisham homer. The hour ended with Boomer and C-Lo's Rangers podcast, noting C-Lo's smaller picture. Hour 3 The Knicks secured another 20-point comeback win in Boston, mirroring Game 1. Callers discussed the Celtics potentially intentionally fouling Mitchell Robinson and the perspective of only watching the fourth quarter (Boomer disagreed with this approach). Another caller cautioned against premature celebration due to the Knicks' home losses. Jerry's update featured Shaq praising their "old school" style, and a Boston show likened the Knicks to "cockroaches" positively. The Yankees beat the Padres after Bellinger's seventh-inning homer, with Devin Williams' strong tenth. The Mets won in Arizona, highlighted by Jeff McNeil's triple and Juan Soto's two home runs. The hour concluded with enthusiastic Knicks callers, one anticipating a 3-0 lead and another questioning the sustainability of their comeback wins. Hour 4 Former Islander Josh Bailey called in to clarify Boomer's janitor comment from yesterday. The show then focused on Knicks callers, one noting the sportsbooks still have even odds for the Celtics to win the series. Jerry's final update included highlights of the Knicks' Boston win (with Kevin Harlan), the Yankees' sac-fly victory over the Padres, and Juan Soto's two homers in the Mets' Arizona win. The Moment of the Day featured Boomer discussing golf with John McEnroe (and being mocked). The hour concluded with a preview of Saturday afternoon's Game 3 at the Garden.

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.

Sal Licata was critical of Juan Soto and it got a lot of attention. Gio wonders why people think you're a hater if you criticize Soto this early in the season. When you get to a certain level of salary in sports, you're not allowed to fail, and if you do, you'll hear it. So far he has not been the same player he normally is. The Mets are still winning games with Alonso and the pitching really standing out. The Mets plan on playing Jeff McNeil some in center field. Gio doesn't understand the Mets obsession with him.

Mark Vientos hit his first home run. Sal Licata's criticism of Juan Soto sparked debate, with Gio questioning why early-season criticism equates to "hating," especially given Soto's high salary implying less room for failure. Despite Soto's performance not meeting expectations, the Mets are winning, thanks to Alonso and strong pitching. The Mets plan to play Jeff McNeil in center field, a move Gio doesn't understand, and Jerry views McNeil's energy negatively. Baseball updates included Ben Rice's 4-for-4 game, Jazz Chisholm's ejection, and Aaron Boone's comments on the Rays changing dirt. The Mets also beat the Cardinals. Audio of Sal Licata's harsh criticism of Soto aired. The Knicks-Pistons series starts tomorrow. The hour concluded with a discussion about golfer Billy Horschel signing a woman's welt, Gio's confusion over women wanting boob autographs from celebrities, and an uncomfortable interview experience with former player John Randle due to differing opinions on his playing style.

Hour 1 Today's show features Gio & Jerry filling in for Boomer. They discussed Aaron Rodgers' Pat McAfee Show appearance, where he detailed a brief, tense meeting with Jets coach Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mougey, feeling Glenn was "rogue." Rodgers praised Brian Daboll. C-Lo then provided updates, first on his hiccups, and then audio of Rodgers discussing Glenn. In baseball news, Ben Rice went 4-for-4, Dave Sims called the game, Jazz Chisholm was ejected for arguing balls and strikes, and Aaron Boone disliked his dugout view in Tampa. The Mets beat the Cardinals with Mark Vientos hitting his first home run. Sam Rosen made his final career call for the Rangers. Finally, Kadarius Toney announced his NFL retirement to become a rapper. Hour 2 The Knicks-Pistons series starts tomorrow. Gio, who found the Knicks' regular season boring due to their dominance, predicts a Knicks win in six but questions their ability to compete with the Celtics, especially considering the Pistons' physicality. Fan engagement is high, particularly regarding Karl-Anthony Towns. A caller wonders if the city's excitement will be lower without the Rangers in the playoffs. Another believes Aaron Rodgers intentionally embarrassed the Jets. Later, after a discussion about martinis, audio of Rodgers' negative meeting with the Jets aired. In baseball, the Yankees beat the Rays (Jazz Chisholm ejected), and the Mets beat the Cardinals. Last night was Sam Rosen's final Rangers game. The hour ended with Gio questioning the Easter Bunny's association with eggs and the quality of his gifts compared to Santa, also sharing his dislike for jelly beans. Hour 3 Mark Vientos hit his first home run. Sal Licata's criticism of Juan Soto sparked debate, with Gio questioning why early-season criticism equates to "hating," especially given Soto's high salary implying less room for failure. Despite Soto's performance not meeting expectations, the Mets are winning, thanks to Alonso and strong pitching. The Mets plan to play Jeff McNeil in center field, a move Gio doesn't understand, and Jerry views McNeil's energy negatively. Baseball updates included Ben Rice's 4-for-4 game, Jazz Chisholm's ejection, and Aaron Boone's comments on the Rays changing dirt. The Mets also beat the Cardinals. Audio of Sal Licata's harsh criticism of Soto aired. The Knicks-Pistons series starts tomorrow. The hour concluded with a discussion about golfer Billy Horschel signing a woman's welt, Gio's confusion over women wanting boob autographs from celebrities, and an uncomfortable interview experience with former player John Randle due to differing opinions on his playing style. Hour 4 Last night marked the end of Sam Rosen's 40-year career calling Rangers games, and Lee Corso is retiring from College Gameday. Gio speculated about Howie Rose's potential retirement and noted Gary Cohen looks younger than his age (and younger than Boomer). They pondered if Boomer would continue working until 70. Gio mentioned a possible deceased person sighting, while Jerry recounted a gunpoint robbery dream (which Gio experiences often). The topic of aggressive geese arose, with Al advising against harming them due to their protected status, even during an attack. Later, Gio questioned "GROK" about having a non-sports-fan producer, and Jerry asked ChatGPT about his dreams. More audio of Aaron Rodgers' negative experience with the Jets aired. Adam Schefter was pranked at the Masters with a fake NFL trade report (since phones weren't allowed). Deion Sanders claimed he never did ‘that' to himself. The Moment of the Day highlighted Gio's Eddie impression regarding Al & Jerry's low YouTube views. The show concluded with a discussion about baseball players' competitive pickleball games.

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. 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 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.

Zach, Jack, and Andrew discuss the Mets start to the season, bullpen excellence, offense and pitching yin and yang, impressive starting pitching, the Siri/Taylor platoon, Vientos and his slow start, the implication of Jeff McNeil's return, Brett Baty's future, playing time for Torrens, and a mysterious figure in the Mets dugout.

Spring Training rolls on, and so does *The Put it in the Books Show*! This week, the full crew is back together as Rodriguez makes his triumphant return from the IL—though he insists he was just "day-to-day." Join Farace, Keith, and Producer Joe (still lurking behind the wall) as they break down the latest Mets news with the usual mix of dry humor, analysis, and a little well-earned skepticism. First up: injuries. Sean Manaea is progressing after his oblique injury, while Jeff McNeil is hurt again—something Rodriguez blames on too much golf. The big question: does this injury cost McNeil his job? With Brett Baty now set to platoon with Luisangel Acuña at second base, the Mets may be looking at a future without their scrappy contact hitter. On the mound, David Peterson continues to step up, making a strong case for himself in the rotation. Meanwhile, the Mets have named Clay Holmes their Opening Day starter, a move that could be brilliant or a complete wildcard. With Tylor Megill and Paul Blackburn looking to solidify roles as well, the Mets' pitching depth is getting its first real test. And let's talk culture. Is this the best team culture the Mets have ever had? With stars, depth, and a front office that actually knows what it's doing, the guys will debate whether this is truly a new era in Queens or if we're all just drinking the Spring Training Kool-Aid. Tune in as the crew dissects the latest Mets developments, welcomes Rodriguez back into the fold, and gets ready for Opening Day. The countdown is on—let's put it in the books!

Samantha Croston and Ashley Wenskoski are back as MLB spring training continues on. The Mets name CLAY HOLMES the Opening Day starter - plus, the impact of Jeff McNeil's injury, the 3-man fight for two spots at the back end of the Mets rotation, and it's SHO-TIME in Tokyo - the Dodgers OPEN the season this week. 00:00-6:34: Jeff McNeil is HURT - does this open the door for Brett Baty once more? 6:35- 9:06: Jesse WINKER has an injury scare - WHAT is going on in Mets spring training?! 9:07-10:23: Sean Manaea is on the right track to RETURN 10:24-13:49: Mets name Clay Holmes the starter for OPENING DAY 13:50-16:23: MEGILL, BLACKBURN, CANNING competing for TWO spots 16:24-19:36: Other Mets notes - Dedniel Nunez, Juan Soto CALLS his shot 19:37-24:37: What's going on with Mookie Betts?

Anthony Franco joins Darragh McDonald to discuss Jose Quintana signing with the Brewers, how Luis Gil's injury opens up a spot for Marcus Stroman in the Yankees' rotation, and Jordan Montgomery seemingly set to start the season in the Diamondbacks' bullpen. Listener question topics include whether the Nationals will start spending more now that their TV dispute has been sorted out, the likelihood of a salary floor being instituted in the future, the chances of Luis Robert Jr. getting traded before the season starts, whether Paul Skenes or Elly De La Cruz would be more likely to sign an extension, how bad the White Sox will be, if Jeff McNeil could get traded to make room for a prospect, if the Tigers could acquire an outfield bat now that they are dealing with some injuries, what improvements can be expected from Mariners' veterans who struggled last year, the chances that David Bote will make the Dodgers' roster, and the odds of MLB expanding by more than two teams.

Tonight is as much of a must win game without actually being a must win game for the Mets. The Yankees also play tonight and we still expect a sweep. A caller said the fans behind home plate have no energy and it's coming across that way on TV. We took a call from Minnesota about Jeff McNeil and it was a strange one. Boomer talked about the fragility of a locker room. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of Howie Rose as Ohtani hits a 3 run blast into the upper deck. Chris Russo talked about Tony Romo having no sense of history. Brian Daboll talked about the injury to Andrew Thomas. Aaron Rodgers was looking back at some old film on Davante Adams. The Moment of The Day: a nose spray and lozenges for ED. In the final segment of the show, a little bit of Knicks talk with the addition of Karl-Anthony Towns. Right now Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers are living together right now.

Hour 1 The Mets had a very disappointing loss last night, losing 8-0. They lost game one, 9-0. Boomer thinks they can come back tonight just like they did after the game one loss. Francisco Alvarez had a rough night in the field and at the plate, but Carlos Mendoza said he is sticking with him. Boomer said there is always tomorrow in baseball. But Gio added, ‘until there isn't'. The Mets have been resilient all year long. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and Gio was concerned when he heard Jerry say in the Warm Up Show that he thought the Dodgers would win in 6. Jerry starts with the sounds of the Mets losing to the Dodgers including the monster Ohtani HR into the upper deck. Carlos Mendoza talked about the fielding miscues in the second inning. Lindor said to stay the course, come back tonight and give everything you have. Daniel Jones talked about the injury to Andrew Thomas. Dexter Lawrence talked about playing against Saquon this weekend. Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers are both happy they have each other again. In the final segment of the hour, Peter Schwartz can't pronounce Sabrina Ionescu's name, but claimed it was the biggest shot in NY basketball history. We also took calls from Mets fans on whether Alvarez should play or not. Hour 2 The Mets need a Winker day today. It's feeling like a Winker day. We need Winker in faces. We took calls from Mets fans, one who said there was a weird vibe at the game. He said it was flat. Gio thinks the second inning changed the vibe. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of Howie Rose and the poorly fielded second inning for the Mets. Luis Severino talked about the 2 that he had problems with in the inning. Lindor talked about not executing with people on base. David Ortiz talked about the cold weather in October vs the cold weather in April. In the final segment of the hour, a caller said the Mets have only had 1 big inning so far in this series with the Dodgers. Hour 3 Francisco Alvarez is mired in a slump. We need him to break out the way Pete Alonso did against the Braves and Phillies with the home runs. A caller thinks Mendoza is tempting fate with his lack of moves with Alvarez. Boomer thinks Mendoza is doing the right thing, he's being loyal to the guys who got him there. Boomer is not going to question him now against a great team like the Dodgers. Jerry returns for an update and has the sounds of Howie Rose as Max Muncy homered to make it 8-0. Carlos Mendoza talked about the Dodgers hitters not chasing. Jerry has audio of Evan Robers' Rico Brogna Mets podcast. In the final segment of the hour, we've seen the last of Mike Williams on the Jets. First Rodgers threw him under the bus, then the Jets got Davante Adams. Sabrina Ionescu had ‘the biggest shot in Liberty history' last night. Hour 4 Tonight is as much of a must win game without actually being a must win game for the Mets. The Yankees also play tonight and we still expect a sweep. A caller said the fans behind home plate have no energy and it's coming across that way on TV. We took a call from Minnesota about Jeff McNeil and it was a strange one. Boomer talked about the fragility of a locker room. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of Howie Rose as Ohtani hits a 3 run blast into the upper deck. Chris Russo talked about Tony Romo having no sense of history. Brian Daboll talked about the injury to Andrew Thomas. Aaron Rodgers was looking back at some old film on Davante Adams. The Moment of The Day: a nose spray and lozenges for ED. In the final segment of the show, a little bit of Knicks talk with the addition of Karl-Anthony Towns. Right now Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers are living together right now.

Hour 1 The Yankees beat the Guardians again and this is looking like a sweep situation. Gio said the cocky Yankee fans are coming back out. The Yankees had no problem even with Gerrit Cole not pitching great, and Jazz Chisholm not having any idea how to play third base or run the bases. Gio said this series feels like Mike Tyson vs Peter McNeeley. We also talked about Jeff McNeil being on the Mets roster and Brandon Nimmo not being 100%. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of Juan Soto being intentionally walked to load the bases for Aaron Judge. Judge did not hit a grand slam, just a sac fly. Verdugo called it a total team effort. Gerrit Cole assessed his performance as ‘alright'. Gio thinks they should start painting the World Series logos on the field at Yankee Stadium. Davante Adams popped into the Aaron Rodgers interview with Pat McAfee after being traded to the Jets. Rodgers was asked about his criticism of Mike Williams on the interception he threw. Mike Tomlin talked about the quarterback situation for this Sunday against the Jets. Jerry has the audio of Jerry Jones on sports radio in Dallas and they got into it. He made it seem like he could fire them. In the final segment of the hour, Bussin' With The Boys had Donald Trump on and the Washington Post wanted them to respond to a comment Trump made. Will Compton commented with a bodily noise (he farted). Hour 2 The Jets traded for Davante Adams yesterday and now Mike Williams is on the trading block. How much will Adams help the team? He and Rodgers definitely have chemistry together. Getting Adams shows Rodgers has a lot of control no matter what he says. He wants Saleh gone, he's gone. He wants Davante Adams, he's here. Hopefully Garret Wilson will embrace this. The Bills went out and got their own new WR in Amari Cooper. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Aaron Judge hitting a HR to center. The Yankees had a couple of base running errors which prompted John Sterling to say of the Yankees, they ‘run the bases like drunks'. Judge thought the ghosts of Monument Park pulled his HR out there. Jerry has audio of BT, who ‘hates' the Jets. He also called them, ‘ass backwards'. Jerry has audio from Woody Johnson saying ‘thinking is overrated'. Jerry Jones battled with sports radio in Dallas and we heard all the clips. The Cowboys are giving up 41 points a game. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about who's throwing out the first pitch for the remaining Mets/Dodgers games at Citi Field. We talked about Wade Boggs being a longtime Red Sox, goes to the Yankees and rides a police horse drinking a beer celebrating a World Series win. Hour 3 Phil Simms joins us in his weekly spot and we started with Aaron Rodgers throwing Mike Williams under the bus after their latest loss. Phil said Davante Adams will make a difference for sure. We talked about Russel Wilson and Justin Fields for this Sunday against the Jets. Andrew Thomas is out indefinitely for the Giants and Phil talked about how that will impact them. He said the Giants need to throw the ball down the field. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of John Sterling as the Yankees beat the Guardians. Clay Holmes pitched well after coming in for Gerrit Cole. Joe Benigno reacted to another Jets loss with a classic Joe B rant. Woody Johnson was asked about the trade for Davante Adams. Aaron Rodgers reacted to the team getting Adams. Rodgers also reacted to people thinking he threw Mike Williams under the bus. Jerry Jones battled with Dallas Sports Radio and Jerry has the audio. Roger Goodell was asked about Tom Brady having an ownership stake in the Raiders. In the final segment of the hour, the Giants are in a tough spot with the injury to Andrew Thomas. Maybe Evan Neal can come in and play left tackle. Hour 4 There's a guy who lives with a deer who moves the deer's mouth while the man sings and it has 65 million views. Gio finds himself watching this d ...
