Hour 1 Jerry and Willie Colon fill in for Boomer and Gio. The Mets bounced back, despite another poor Kodai Senga start (the new human rain delay), scoring many runs with two outs. Mark Vientos is red hot, and Willie says it's time for the Mets to stack wins; Sean Manaea needs to step up tonight. The game was delayed for 10 minutes because the Phillies complained about parabolic mics. Jerry was impressed with the Mets' response. The Yankees did what they needed to do in a lose-lose series. Andrew Bogusch's first update covers the Yankees' win, Jazz Chisholm's 25th homer, Luis Torrens' 5 RBIs, and Francisco Alvarez's potential rehab assignment. Kodai Senga struggled again. With McLaurin and Hendrickson signed, Micah Parsons is the lone hold-in; Dak Prescott is unbothered, and Jerry Recco believes Jerry Jones will get a deal done. Jerry and Willie discuss paying Parsons with a Cowboys fan and Jerry updates his bat situation (the exterminator was jacked). Hour 2 Jerry and Willie discussed Aaron Rodgers' interview, agreeing he tried with the Jets and expect him to excel in Pittsburgh. Terry McLaurin and Trey Hendrickson secured new contracts. The guys believe the Giants, with Russell Wilson, will surprise people and beat the Commanders. Bogusch provided an update, and Jerry mentioned Willie and Eddie Scozzare considering yoga. The Mets won big, and Cam Schlittler had a good start for the Yankees. Willson Contreras had a dugout meltdown. The hour concluded with a yoga call and a discussion about The Biggest Loser documentary. Hour 3 Willie believes Eddie and Fliegs have untapped athletic potential, but they and Jerry disagree. Jerry wonders what activities people spend a lot on but never master, like golf, with top X responses including sex, marriage, gambling, and skiing. Willie was a bad bowler early in his NFL career. The guys discuss the Jets and Giants' offensive and defensive lines. Bogusch updates on Tommy DeVito being waived by the Giants (Willie and Jerry expect him to be picked up) and plays Rodgers' message to Jets fans. The Yankees and Mets both crushed their opponents. Jerry is concerned about the bullpen tonight if Sean Manaea doesn't pitch deep. LIU is getting paid to play Florida, which helps financially, but Jerry and Willie worry about injuries. Finally, Jerry looks at examples of athletes with one standout season and surprising attendance numbers. Jerry thinks Raleigh, not Aaron Judge, should be MVP. Hour 4 The final hour discusses the Mets' win, Willie's concerns about Mendoza's team, and the Jets possibly claiming Tommy DeVito. Jerry and Willie debate why some college players fail in the NFL and agree not to rush Jaxson Dart. Bogusch's update covers DeVito's cut, the Jets' receiver search, and Yankees/Mets blowout wins. The show also questions Ohio State banning Dave Portnoy, features Willie the Yogi, and concludes with a dessert debate: key lime pie vs. chocolate, and cone vs. cup.
The Mets bounced back despite another poor Kodai Senga start. He is the new human rain delay. The Mets scored a lot of runs with two outs last night. Mark Vientos is red hot and looking like the player he was last season. Willie says it's time for the Mets to start stacking wins and the guys agree that Sean Manaea needs to get going beginning with his start tonight.
Jerry and Willie Colon fill in for Boomer and Gio, and spirits are high. The Mets rebounded despite another poor Kodai Senga start, who's now the "human rain delay." They scored many two-out runs, with Mark Vientos red hot. Willie and the guys agree Sean Manaea needs to step up tonight. The game was delayed by Phillies' complaints about parabolic mics, but the Mets responded well. The Yankees won their "lose-lose" series. Andrew Bogusch's update covered the Yankees' win, Jazz Chisholm's 25th homer, Luis Torrens' 5 RBIs, and Francisco Alvarez's potential rehab assignment. Kodai Senga struggled again. Micah Parsons remains a hold-in after Terry McLaurin and Trey Hendrickson's new contracts, but Dak Prescott is unfazed, and Jerry Recco believes Jerry Jones will close a deal. In the final segment, Jerry and Willie discuss Micah Parsons with a Cowboys fan, and Jerry updates his bat situation, confident in the "jacked" exterminator.

The hour began with a discussion about Tom Brady's golf course venture and his son. Dan in Carteret called to discuss the new Bengals stadium, but commented on Boomer's head size. We covered recent NFL trades, and a caller was upset about us not acknowledging Robert Plant's birthday. Another caller questioned why WFAN hosts vacation in the summer. Jerry's update included the Yankees beating the Rays with five more home runs. Jose Caballero's ejection and post-game comments were discussed. Kodai Senga struggled in the Mets' loss to DC, and Mendoza commented on his performance. Myles Garrett avoided talking about his speeding ticket, and we discussed the Micah Parsons situation. The final segment focused on Cracker Barrel's recent logo and interior changes, which led to social media accusations of them being "woke." Are people plain old stupid?
Boomer and Gio are concerned about Kodai Senga's performance and suggest David Peterson as the Mets' potential playoff ace. Jerry's update includes Yankees' victory over Rays, Mets' loss to Nationals (Senga gave up 4 earned runs), and Brandon Nimmo's neck injury. Also, a bizarre story about a bullet in Andy Reid's office and a tennis player on OnlyFans requiring a $1,000 pre-date deposit.
Hour 1 Boomer and Gio are concerned about Kodai Senga's performance and suggest David Peterson as the Mets' playoff ace. Jerry's update covers the Yankees' win over the Rays, the Mets' loss (Senga gave up 4 earned runs, Nimmo left with a stiff neck), "What is Anthony Gallo Talking About?", a bullet through Andy Reid's office window last year, and Sachia Vickery's $1,000 pre-date deposit on OnlyFans. Hour 2 The hour began with a discussion about Tom Brady's golf course venture and his son. Dan in Carteret called to discuss the new Bengals stadium, but instead mocked Boomer's head size. NFL trades were a topic, as was a caller's frustration about not acknowledging Robert Plant's birthday. Another caller questioned why all WFAN hosts vacation in the summer. Jerry's update started with the Yankees beating the Rays, hitting five more home runs. Jose Caballero's ejection and post-game comments were covered. Kodai Senga's rough outing in the Mets' loss to DC was discussed, along with Mendoza's comments. Myles Garrett avoided talking about his speeding ticket, and the Micah Parsons situation in Dallas remained unresolved. The hour concluded with the social media buzz around Cracker Barrel's logo change, with many perceiving them as "woke" due to the new logo and interior changes. Hour 3 We began discussing the Giants' improved optimism this season due to positional upgrades. Boomer stressed the importance of Russell Wilson avoiding turnovers and the defense creating them, unlike last season. Adam Schein will do Sunday highlights on CBS, not the highly paid talent. Jerry returned for an update, but first, someone made him t-shirts with his death-related sayings. The Yankees beat the Rays with 5 more homers. We then discussed the slang term 'NPC'. The hour concluded with a discussion on Phil Mickelson and those who believe he 'ruined golf'. Hour 4 Bubba Wallace in-studio, Boomer compares NASCAR to LIE driving. Jerry's final update: Yankees beat Rays with Stanton's tenth-inning pinch-hit HR. Ohtani hit in thigh by line drive. Jets held a players-only practice, overseen by Aaron Glenn. Moment of The Day: host struggles with 'depth'. Jordan Davis calls in to discuss Cracker Barrel.
Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Yankees beating the Rays as they hit 5 more home runs. Jose Caballero got tossed and he talked about it after the game. Kodai Senga got roughed up as the Mets lost in DC. Mendoza talked about Senga's performance after the game. Myles Garrett met the media and had no interest in talking about his speeding ticket. We also talked about the Micah Parsons situation in Dallas as there seems to be no movement.
Kodai Senga had another rough outing last night in DC, and neither Boomer nor Gio want Kodai Senga to be the number one guy when the playoffs come. It has to be David Peterson instead. That's if they make the playoffs.
(SHOW OPEN): The Mets need much more from Kodai Senga, whose struggles continued in Wednesday night's loss.
BT put the blame squarely on Mets manager Carlos Mendoza for the team's latest loss, calling out his "scared" and "gutless" managing. The critical error, according to BT, was pulling a well-pitching Kodai Senga with 93 pitches, a move that BT believes was a clear sign of a manager lacking trust and conviction. This decision, combined with Mendoza's repetitive and uninspiring postgame interviews, is symptomatic of a larger issue within the team's coaching staff, which is failing to properly lead a talented but underperforming roster.
Returning from California, Gio and Jerry discuss the Mets' shocking 11-6 loss after blowing a 6-0 lead, attributing it to David Peterson's poor performance and the team's recent struggles, particularly the pitching staff. They express doubt about the Mets' ability to recover and Jerry is skeptical about Kodai Senga's upcoming start. C-Lo's update confirms ongoing baseball losses, including the Mets' defeat, the Brewers' 12th consecutive win, and the Yankees failing to sweep the Twins, despite Giancarlo Stanton's strong play. The Jets and Giants joint practice saw Sauce Gardner and Malik Nabers sit out, while Breece Hall discussed running back contract extensions. Jerry Jones mentioned an experimental drug saved his life. The hour concludes with Gio and Jerry still unable to feel better about the Mets' situation.
Gio and Jerry are back from California and they want to discuss the trip but have to start with last night's Mets debacle. They both woke up and couldn't believe the Mets blew a 6-0 lead. They are surprised and disappointed that David Peterson fell apart in the 4th inning. The Mets are drawing big crowds and playing poorly. The pitching staff has been among the worst in baseball lately. Neither of them can believe how far the Mets have fallen the last two months. Gio doesn't believe they will go on a run and wonders where it ends with the pitching staff. The Mets need a good start from Kodai Senga tonight but Jerry isn't counting on it.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza meets with the media postgame and discusses Kodai Senga's first start back from injury, Mark Vientos' 3-run double, and the team's comeback win in the series opener against the Royals.
We started the hour with talk of the Yankees win last night, which C-Mac thinks was their best win of the series. They were being no-hit until the 8th inning and were down 5-0 and won the game. Cal Raleigh said after the game their closer was tipping pitches, in particular his slider.

Hour 1 - Boomer & Gio are out for one last day so it's Jerry and Chris McMonigle today. C-Mac is pumped after last night's Yankees comeback win. He called it the best win of the season. They didn't have a hit until the 8th inning and they were down 5-0. Cal Raleigh said their closer was tipping his slider and runners on second could see it. Peter Schwartz is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Yankees comeback. Aaron Judge talked about the impressive slide at home from Volpe.

Jerry cannot believe they took David Peterson out in the 8th inning after having an easy 7th. The Mets have to go into KC and win the series going into the all-star break. It was an ugly day yesterday for them. Peter returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Yankees comeback win over the Mariners. Aaron Judge talked about coming back down 5 runs after not getting a hit until the 8th. We heard the sounds of the Mets losing a double header in Baltimore. Keith Hernandez almost got hit by a foul ball yesterday and didn't realize it. We talked about bobblehead giveaways as the Dodgers are giving out 40,000 of Kobe instead of the usual 17,000. In the final segment of the hour, the Yankees have a giveaway involving a child author and a pigeon. Hour 3 - We started the hour with the news from Sports Business Journal that said for Subway Series viewing, SNY had 70% more viewers than the YES Network and we are trying to figure out why. C-Mac thinks the Mets fan has a deeper connection to Gary, Keith & Ron than the Yankees have with Michael Kay. Peter returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Yankees coming back down 5-0 to beat the Mariners. We also heard the sounds of the Mets losing a double header in Baltimore. Evan Roberts doesn't seem to know that Steve Cohen's ‘Fab Four' reference was about the Beatles. In the final segment of the hour, we took more calls on why more people tuned into SNY over YES for the Subway Series. Hour 4 - We started the hour with talk of the Yankees win last night, which C-Mac thinks was their best win of the series. They were being no-hit until the 8th inning and were down 5-0 and won the game. Cal Raleigh said after the game their closer was tipping pitches, in particular his slider.

The Mets get swept in a brutal doubleheader by the Orioles on and there's plenty of frustration to unpack. We dive into Carlos Mendoza's controversial decision to pull David Peterson after seven brilliant shutout innings in Game 1. Why didn't the Mets ride the hot hand? Plus — with the Mets' rotation battered by injuries, we ask the question on every fan's mind: Why aren't we seeing top prospects like Brandon Sproat or Tyler McLain get the call to help the pitching staff? We also look ahead to the final series before the All-Star break in Kansas City, where the Mets finally get some good news: Kodai Senga returns to the mound tonight. What should fans realistically expect from his first start back? All that and more on this episode of Locked Up Sports: New York Sports Talk — your daily source for all things New York Mets!#Mets #LGM #MetsBaseball #Orioles #MLB #KodaiSenga #BrandonSproat #TylerMcLain #MetsPodcast #LetsGoMets #LockedUpSports #NYC #NLEAST

We talked about the Mets and Yankees and Starling Marte getting injured while seemingly taking a pitch. The Mets should have Sean Manaea and Kodai Senga back before the all star break for one start each. Jerry didn't feel any buzz from this Subway Series. The Knicks still have not had a press conference for new head coach Mike Brown. We talked about women taking down their shorts at the beach, but how that would be unacceptable at a Target. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Yankees beating the Mets. Cody Bellinger had a tremendous catch and then doubled up Lindor at first. Last Thursday, Keith Hernandez told us he recently needed to use a plunger and it worked out great. Joe Benigno's Saturday show now starts at 5am and it appears to be too early for him. The Moment of The Day: Al is going to Montana but has nothing planned. In the final segment of the show, Jerry feels like he may have gotten fleeced.
Hour 1 - Boomer & Gio are out this week, so Jerry Recco and Willie Colon hosted, starting with the Subway Series, where the Mets nearly beat the Yanks if not for Cody Bellinger's incredible catch. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was tossed arguing bad strike calls, and Pete Alonso is skipping the HR Derby. Juan Soto's All-Star snub was also a topic. C-Lo gave his first update, including Dave Sims' call of the Bellinger catch, as the Yankees snapped a six-game losing streak. Evan Roberts is vacationing in Paris, posting Mets win videos and a Rico Brogna podcast. Al is off to Montana with no plans, and Jerry discovered professional pillow fighting. The hour concluded by discussing Aaron Boone and the Yankees' struggles, suggesting they won't run away with the AL East. Hour 2 - A caller to Sal Licata blamed WFAN and the media for players struggling in New York, citing their success after leaving. Willie Colon shared his own experiences with media criticism during his time with the Jets and in Pittsburgh. C-Lo then delivered an update, highlighting the Yankees' win over the Mets, including another Aaron Judge home run and Cody Bellinger's impressive catch and double play. There was also a segment on Anthony Volpe's father confronting fans in the stands who were criticizing his son, with audio of Sal's exchange with the caller on player criticism. The hour concluded with a caller mentioning Montana's attractions, specifically that you can drive to North and South Dakota from there. Hour 3 - The show continued its discussion on player criticism, especially for high-salaried athletes, balancing expectations with the reality of performance. Upcoming Jets and Giants seasons, with Aaron Rodgers' Week 1 return to MetLife, were also reviewed. C-Lo delivered an update, but not before Jerry and a caller had a brief argument. Evan Roberts recorded a "Rico Brogna" podcast from Paris while scoring a game at the airport, and Pete Alonso will be in the All-Star game but not the HR Derby. The hour ended with Jerry introducing a guessing game about an X post and a conversation with the new intern. Hour 4 - The show covered Starling Marte's injury and the Mets' anticipated return of Sean Manaea and Kodai Senga, while Jerry noted a lack of buzz for the Subway Series. The Knicks still haven't held a press conference for new head coach Mike Brown. A humorous discussion ensued about social norms regarding public attire. C-Lo's final update focused on the Yankees' win over the Mets, featuring Cody Bellinger's excellent defense. Other topics included Keith Hernandez's recent success with a plunger, Joe Benigno's seemingly too-early 5 AM Saturday show, and "The Moment of The Day" highlighting Al's unplanned Montana trip. The segment concluded with Jerry feeling "fleeced."
The Mets are dragging everybody back in following two series wins vs the Brewers & Yankees after a horrific June and somehow sit just 1.5 games out of 1st in the NL East. Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso & Edwin Diaz are headed to the All Star Game, Sean Manaea & Kodai Senga set to return (Thank God), Mark Vientos & Tyrone Taylor are automatic outs and the Mets have interest in Pittsburgh's Mitch Keller.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. Best bets as always. Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner preview the MLB Friday slate on RJ Bell's Dream Preview. They open by discussing the Orioles' recent 9-2 stretch despite being 11 games under .500, and Minnesota's past long winning streak. Griffin reflects on Moneyball's low ranking on his movie list and praises Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Cubs. In the Phillies vs. Pirates matchup, Joe Ross starts for Philly as an opener while Bailey Falter, performing solidly for Pittsburgh, starts for the Pirates. Both agree under 9 runs is the best angle due to limited offensive firepower from Pittsburgh and Ross's limited innings. Next, Texas faces Washington with Patrick Corbin vs. Michael Soroka. Corbin has stabilized while Soroka battles recurring injuries. Griffin likes Nationals ML and over 9.5, noting Nationals' young talent and the weather boosting offense. Munaf supports first 5 over and Nationals' team total over, citing Texas' poor 9-20 road record. In Red Sox vs. Yankees, Walker Buehler faces Will Warren. Boston's bats have struggled, while Warren allowed 7 ER in his last outing. Both predict an over 9 outcome, expecting Rafael Devers to homer and citing both teams' bullpen issues. The Diamondbacks visit Cincinnati with Eduardo Rodriguez vs. Nick Lodolo. Rodriguez has allowed 13 ER over his last 3 starts with control issues. Lodolo's 4-4 record and 3.10 ERA give Griffin confidence in the Reds. Munaf favors Reds ML and sees plenty of scoring. Astros travel to Cleveland with Colton Gordon vs. Logan Allen. Allen's lefty matchup gives the right-handed Astros lineup an edge, but Munaf remains cautious due to Houston's late travel. Griffin would take Astros at plus money, considering Cleveland's competitiveness. Kansas City faces the White Sox with Seth Lugo vs. Davis Martin. Lugo has dominated the White Sox historically, allowing just 3 ER over 29.1 IP. Munaf strongly supports Royals RL, citing Lugo's recent success against Chicago, while Griffin leans over 8. The Padres visit Milwaukee with Randy Vasquez vs. Chad Patrick. Vasquez's control issues and HR susceptibility concern both hosts. Griffin makes Brewers ML -142 his best bet, citing Milwaukee's base-stealing prowess and San Diego's fatigue after extra-inning games. Munaf adds Brewers first 5 team total over. Dodgers face Cardinals with Justin Robleski vs. Sonny Gray. Injuries to Betts and Freeman concern both. Griffin trusts Gray as a home underdog, noting St. Louis' bullpen depth. Munaf supports Over 8.5, expecting offensive production from both sides. The Mets visit Colorado with Kodai Senga vs. Antonio Senzatela. Senzatela enters 1-10 with a 7.14 ERA and 1.98 WHIP. Munaf makes Mets team total Over 6.5 his best bet, expecting New York's offense to dominate at Coors Field. Griffin acknowledges Rockies' rare 3-game win streak but avoids backing them. Seattle travels to Anaheim with Bryce Miller facing Kyle Hendricks. Miller's bone spur has altered his delivery, making Griffin favor the Angels ML, citing their hot bats and rest advantage. Munaf agrees, backing the Angels and runs scored. In San Francisco, Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach faces Giants' Hayden Birdsong. Schwellenbach has 22 Ks in his last two starts, but Griffin trusts Birdsong and Giants' bullpen, backing the under 7.5 and Giants ML. Munaf echoes this, emphasizing both pitchers' strong form. They close with Griffin taking Brewers ML as his best bet and Munaf locking in Mets team total Over 6.5. They promote pregame.com with a STRIKE20 discount code for picks packages.
