Plus, Sal celebrates Juan Soto's torrid June, while Tommy Luguauer presents a wild idea to spark the rest of the lineup. Also, a conversation with Pete Alonso from Citi Field with Evan and Tiki.

BT and Sal dive into a whirlwind of fan calls, starting with a hilarious drinking game challenge tied to Sal's frequent mentions of Juan Soto. The conversation quickly escalates to a heated debate about Soto's performance and perceived "missing big moments," before veering into a comical discussion about bucket hats and Snapple "facts." They then shift gears to analyze potential Mets trade targets, particularly Sandy Alcantara, highlighting concerns about pitching and hitting epidemics in baseball, all while maintaining their signature fiery banter.

BT and Sal delve into a wide range of topics, starting with their personal anxieties about playing golf, particularly around skilled players, leading to humorous confessions about their own subpar games and preferred "fast play" style. The discussion then shifts to sports news, with a caller expressing frustration about the lack of hockey talk, specifically the Islanders' number one pick in the NHL draft. This prompts a brief, somewhat feigned interest in the draft, followed by a caller suggesting a drinking game based on Sal's frequent mention of Juan Soto. The segment concludes with a nostalgic look at college drinking games and further golf-related anxiety, with a listener calling in to offer advice on overcoming it, which BT and Sal largely dismiss, admitting they'd rather avoid playing with "elitists" like Boomer.

After dropping last night's game to the Pirates to fall half a game out of first in the division Carlos Mendoza and the Mets will send out Paul Blackburn as they try to even the series and ahead of the game The Manager sat down with Keith Raad to preview his starter along with recap the month of Juan Soto.

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Dicky, er, Richard Lovelady's short tenure with the Mets, round one of Paul Skenes vs. Jacob Misiorowski, the nature of modern pitcher's duels, a Jacob-related fun fact, updates on Juan Soto and Jo Adell, revisiting childhood favorites through the lens of advanced stats, and public funding for the […]

Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe are running the show tonight while Farace is out… getting his hair done. Yep, even bald guys need “me time,” and rumor has it he's spending three hours at the salon debating gel vs. mousse.Meanwhile, the Mets are feeling the heat—some of it good, most of it not so much. Juan Soto is on another planet right now: 10 home runs and 18 RBI in June and absolutely torching baseballs like he's got a personal vendetta. But outside of Soto and a few sparks, the offense has hit the snooze button lately, struggling to get anything going with runners in scoring position.On the mound, the pitching staff has had its ups and downs. Sean Manaea is temporarily shut down with an elbow issue after getting a cortisone shot, while Frankie Montas gave fans something to smile about with a sharp Mets debut—five scoreless innings and nine punchouts.The guys will break down the team's recent slide, what's been going wrong, and how the upcoming All-Star break could give this banged-up squad a much-needed reset. Is it just a midseason blip or something more concerning?Expect the usual chaos: Rodriguez throwing shade like it's his job, Keith defending his latest Lindor glove take, and Producer Joe randomly bringing up something that will derail the show.It's a rollercoaster season, but the ride's not over yet. Let's put it in the books.

Rumors float that the Knicks are a dream job per Jason Kidd. Is this real life, or is it just fantasy? Plus, Juan Soto has arrived!

Good for the Brooklyn Nets drafting five players. More importantly Juan Soto had another multi homerun day!

Does Jason Kidd really want the Knicks job? Juan Soto is now reaching JUAN SOTO MODE!

The Sixers draft VJ Edgecombe out of Baylor University with the 3rd overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. He has some great tools and a very athletic style of play and will likely slide right into the Guard rotation. The question remains however, if the Sixers can make it out of the 2nd Round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Joel Embiid and Paul George will be one year older, and the skepticism over their ability to stay healthy enough to play even 50 games total together remains. The Phillies were swept in Houston while the pitching staff allowed just 5 runs combined. Suarez, Wheeler, and Sanchez were masterful, but the offense was in hibernation. With the trade deadline looming, Tek & Prem discuss the possible scenarios with key prospects and potential trade pieces on the active roster. A weekend series in Atlanta against the Braves, who are heating up, will provide more clarity regarding the Phillies recent offensive slumber. The Flyers add a young player with a lot of upside in a pre-draft trade and the NHL Draft is on deck.

Hour 1 We started the show with the NBA draft which was last night and how the Knicks still don't have a head coach. They better have one soon as we head into free agency.

In the final segment of the hour, Sydney Esiason says farewell to ‘WAG Life' now that Matt Martin has retired. Hour 2 Reports indicate NFL owners colluded in 2022 to limit player guarantees, using emails about Kyler Murray and Justin Herbert, a fact the NFLPA allegedly withheld from players. In sports, the Yankees beat the Reds (Dominguez 4-for-5), and the Mets topped the Braves with Jeff McNeil's great catch and Juan Soto's two homers. Cooper Flagg was the NBA's top draft pick. Other topics included an impaled lifeguard, George Kittle on the Vasper bike, and a humorous anecdote about former colleague Mark Chernoff. Hour 3 The hour began with baseball, noting the Yankees' series against the A's and the Mets' games against the Braves and Pirates. They discussed "triple digit sizzlers" (100+ mph pitches) and the existence of Sizzler restaurants. A caller raised concerns about the Knicks' lack of a head coach. Jerry's update highlighted Mets and Yankees wins, with Juan Soto hitting two homers. Two Rutgers players were drafted in the NBA, and Morehead State will honor Phil Simms. The hour concluded with a discussion about Counting Crows' tour and pre-show setlist viewing. Hour 4 The NBA draft saw the Nets not use their five picks to move up, while the Knicks continued their head coach search. Nick Van Exel blamed injuries on low-top sneakers. The Yankees avoided a sweep, the Mets beat the Braves (Soto 2 HRs), and a hurdler had an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction. ESPN mistakenly said the Trailblazers drafted "Colin Cowherd." The "Moment of the Day" was an NBA trade involving Jeanie Buss's panties. The show ended discussing the Knicks' coaching search and their urgent championship window.

BT and Sal launch into a fiery critique of the NBA draft, declaring it a "disaster" and "deplorably bad" due to its convoluted trades, lack of player familiarity, and overall disinterest from fans unless their favorite team is involved. Pivoting sharply, they shift their attention to Mets slugger Juan Soto, with Sal passionately praising his recent record-breaking performance as evidence of his superstar talent, even suggesting he'll be the best offensive player in Mets history. BT, while acknowledging Soto's greatness, raises the intriguing point that selfishness, often a negative trait in team sports, can actually be a beneficial quality in baseball, particularly for a player like Soto who consistently produces at an elite level.

BT and Sal's "Call of the Day" on June 24, 2025, dove into the ongoing debate surrounding the Mets, particularly the performance of Juan Soto and Pete Alonso, with callers weighing in on the team's struggles and fan support. A highlight of the conversation was Sal's retelling of Evan Roberts's unfortunate foul ball incident at a Mets game, where Evan allegedly ducked and hid under his seat, nearly causing a foul ball to hit a young girl, showcasing his lack of "foul ball luck" and leading to humorous jabs about his commitment as a fan and his perceived reluctance to attend games with Sal. The hosts also touched on Evan's seemingly half-hearted invitations to games and his reliance on a portable fan, adding to the lighthearted ribbing.

BT and Sal passionately dissect the Mets' recent struggles, particularly focusing on Pete Alonso's alarming slump, which they attribute as a major factor in the team's abysmal 1-9 record. Sal, in particular, highlights Alonso's poor stats over the last ten games, including 16 strikeouts, two extra-base hits, and one RBI, and debates with callers about whether Alonso's hot start to the season was sustainable compared to Juan Soto's more consistent production. They express frustration with the Mets' overall lack of "juice" and urgency, suggesting the team needs to make proactive moves to improve the lineup's floor rather than waiting for the trade deadline, all while fending off listeners who defend Alonso or question their critical stance.

BT and Sal dive into the Mets' walk-up music from the previous day's game, dissecting the choices with humorous takes. Sal particularly lambasts Reid Garrett's choice of Cher's "Believe," arguing for more pump-up, rock-oriented anthems like AC/DC or Guns N' Roses, playfully debating whether it's "directly attaching a gender" to musical taste. They ponder alternative female artists for "Woman's Night" walk-up songs, including Nicki Minaj and Stevie Nicks, before veering into a lively argument about the perceived end of the game after Soto's strikeout and the ongoing debate of who's having a better season: Juan Soto or Pete Alonso.

After a mixed bag performance, Juan Soto met with the media to discuss what went well for him tonight, culminating in the home run, but also what happened during his crucial strikeout late in the game.

Ben & Woods kick off the 9am hour talking about the Washington Nationals coming to town starting tonight, and of course we revisit the infamous 2022 Juan Soto trade between the two teams. Then the guys give a couple of thoughts on the conclusion of the NBA Finals last night before we wrap up the show on a Monday with The Reindl Report and a couple of Paulie's top stories, including David Ortiz's ongoing beef with Rafael Devers? Listen here!

Send us a textAaron Judge and Juan Soto are 1-2 in xwOBA. Expected Weighted On-Base Average (xwOBA) tell the story of a player's season based on quality of and amount of contact, not outcomes. It takes out being unlucky. Why can't we get into the College World Series? Rafael Devers is a Giant in the first pre-trading deadline deal of the 2025 #MLB season. Devers said he'd play anywhere once he went to San Francisco. Maybe the Red Sox just didn't ask nicely?
