From 'Rico Brogna' (subscribe here): Kodai Senga does he best to keep the Mets in game one of the Mets Cubs series. That lasts one whole inning!
Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber, and Shaun Morash react to the BREAKING news that Kodai Senga has been moved to the bullpen after another dreadful start -- and that Francisco Lindor was cleared to return for the second of the Mets' two games.
Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber, and Shaun Morash run through the Mets' free agents and guess whether or not they'll be traded -- and where they might wind up, if David Stearns decides to deal them.
Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber, and Shaun Morash react to the news that Kodai Senga has been demoted to the Mets' bullpen by manager Carlos Mendoza and his staff after another miserable outing for the former starter. Would a Nets Championship turn Evan into a gracious person?
Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber, and Shaun Morash open Wednesday's show by reacting to the Mets' loss last night, Kodai Senga's performance, and putting the final touches on what they said is a "dead" season from the guys in Queens.
Another bad pitching performance has Kodai Senga's confidence in the toilet, followed by Gio breaking down a depressing stadium video of Evan Roberts. The Mets are officially dead and irrelevant before July, but C-Lo delivers updates on Aaron Boone and Jazz Chisholm's dugout lollipop antics. After reviewing Senga's rough inning against the Cubs and Carlos Mendoza's post-game comments, Gio warns it will be a long summer if we keep paying attention to these losers. Finally, the woman who dumped street trash to steal a Knicks garbage can has been fired from JP Morgan Chase, with Gio noting she looks just like Danny DeVito's Penguin.
Another bad pitching performance by Kodai Senga. Boomer said his confidence is in the toilet. Gio said there's no sadder video on the internet than the one of Evan Roberts at the Mets game.
Today's show breaks down Kodai Senga's rough loss to the Cubs, Carlos Mendoza's reaction, and Gio's warning about the dead Mets, followed by Aaron Boone addressing Jazz Chisholm's lollipop antics and a JPMorgan employee getting fired. Next, Boomer and Gio try to untangle the messy Geno Smith situation and Tyreek Hill's broken-leg controversy, before hitting Yankees updates, more Mets misery from Evan Roberts, and Billy Bush ripping Al Roker. Then, Becky Hammon defends her Jalen Brunson take, Gio stands by his KAT opinion, and Donna calls in to protest the show's ongoing lollipop jokes, followed by news on Matt Miller's amputation and Jim Kelly's stroke. Finally, the crew reviews the top drugs of each decade, discusses the NFL skipping its supplemental draft, shares C-Lo's final updates with C-Mac's lollipop defense and the SNY kid-caster, and wraps up with a fed-up caller and Gio's childhood love for Teemu Selanne.
C-Lo returns with the Yankees beating the Tigers as Jazz Chisholm homered after his lollipop controversy. The Mets lost to the Cubs as Kodai Senga stunk again. We heard from Evan Roberts, live from the Mets game, on the Brooklyn Nets draft pick.
Boomer and Gio are both completely confused by the Geno Smith situation, which includes a video of Geno being a jerk to a cop over wrong license plates and an active case regarding the alleged assault of a woman, all happening now that he's back on the Jets. Gio then brings up Tyreek Hill's "giant woman fetish" where a woman's leg ended up broken. Next, C-Lo returns for an update on the Yankees beating the Tigers, featuring a Jazz Chisholm home run following his lollipop controversy. Meanwhile, the Mets lost to the Cubs as Kodai Senga stunk again, with live audio from Evan Roberts at the game discussing the Brooklyn Nets draft pick. Finally, the conversation turns to media feuds, with Gio noting that Billy Bush was ripping Al Roker on his podcast.
The crew continues their breakdown of the biggest drugs of each decade before touching on the NFL skipping its supplemental draft and a look at Brendan Sorsby. Next, C-Lo's final update covers Aaron Boone addressing Jazz homering after his lollipop controversy, which C-Mac steps in to defend. After another bad outing from Kodai Senga prompts Carlos Mendoza to declare "that ain't gonna cut it," we hear Gary, Keith, and Ron chatting with the kid-caster. Finally, the Moment of the Day features an older female caller who has had it with crude comments, before the show wraps up with Gio recalling his childhood love for Teemu Selanne.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Monday. Griffin Warner is back on the Pregame.com Podcast Network with episode 52 of What I Bet, the Monday, June 22nd edition, covering the full FIFA World Cup 2026 group stage card and the complete MLB slate before delivering a single best bet to close the show. Griffin opens by confirming the previous episode's winning play, Kansas City Royals at plus 113, a result that held on through a three-run ninth inning for a 6-5 final before moving straight into the World Cup. The first match on the board is Austria taking on defending champion Argentina at noon Central Time in Dallas, where Griffin observed real Austria supporter presence before making the tactical case for Ralf Rangnick's gegenpressing system as the one approach capable of limiting Messi's time and space. Griffin recaps Argentina's Matchday 1 win over Algeria, where Messi survived a red card situation and scored twice in the second half, and frames the Austria plus one and under two and a half combination as potentially live if the press works the way Rangnick, widely credited as the architect of that style and an influence on coaches like Xabi Alonso, designs it to work. Next up is France against Iraq, where Griffin acknowledges France is on another level after Kylian Mbappe's stoppage-time goal from outside the box buried all underdogs and unders in Matchday 1, and sees no compelling case for Iraq to compete. Griffin identifies Norway versus Senegal as the best match of the day, noting Erling Haaland scored twice in Norway's opener while Senegal impressed for 64 minutes against France before conceding a late Mbappe goal, finding the under two and a half and Senegal as a quarter-goal underdog both worth watching. The final group stage match features a must-win Algeria side returning after a 3-0 loss to Argentina taking on a Jordan team whose best European-league player, Mousa Al-Tamari, the so-called Jordanian Messi playing club football in France, did not show up in the opener. Griffin finds the one-goal spread too tight given Algeria's talent depth and expects sharp money to push the line before kickoff. Baseball follows with a ten-game slate preview. Griffin likes the under 8 in Yankees-Tigers with Garrett Cole back and a worrying Detroit bullpen, the under 7.5 in Royals-Rays with Michael Wacha and Drew Rasmussen both going well and a Tampa Bay team not built to score, the Astros at plus 104 against Toronto with Hunter Brown making a second start opposite Shane Bieber's first of the year, a slight Mets lean at plus 103 against the Cubs with Shota Imanaga's fly ball tendencies a concern against Kodai Senga, the White Sox at home over an injury-thinned Guardians roster missing José Ramírez after hamate surgery, a tempting Merrill Kelly plus 122 number against Andre Pallante in St. Louis, the over on Jason Bennett's rookie Coors Field debut for Boston, and a lean toward the under in the Braves-Padres matchup where Grant Holmes faces Michael King, with both bullpens strong and Ronald Acuña Jr. sidelined by a hamstring injury. Griffin closes with his official What I Bet Best Bet: Kansas City Royals under 7.5 at Tampa Bay Rays at minus 120, with a recommendation to sprinkle on the under 4 in the first half as well.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler open the new week on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a fully loaded Monday edition of Cash That Ticket, working through five MLB matchups and then delivering what Dave calls his strongest NFL win total call of the entire series so far on the Cleveland Browns. The guys come in off a split weekend, both taking their lumps and moving on with the goldfish memory approach that keeps the show rolling. On the baseball side, they start with the pitching matchup of the night in Detroit, where Garrett Cole faces Framber Valdez in a game the market has been moving aggressively, with the total climbing from seven and a half to eight and a half. Munaf lays out Cole's remarkable career dominance over the Tigers, a 10 and 1 record with a 1.84 ERA and the teams he has pitched for going 12 and 2 straight up, while Dave zeros in on the value of Cole at minus 130 and the case for a first five innings under before the bullpens get involved. In Toronto, Hunter Brown faces Dylan Cease in a matchup both hosts see as a first five innings situation, with the Astros bullpen too unreliable to back beyond that point and Cease's home splits revealing an ace-level pitcher who simply has not been getting run support. The Cubs and Mets game carries a significant weather caveat, with a 75 percent rain probability at Citi Field, but if it gets played both hosts fade Kodai Senga despite their deep skepticism about the Chicago offense, reasoning that Senga's recent run of seven home runs allowed and multiple short outings makes the Cubs the better side regardless. In Chicago, Munaf goes with the White Sox as a home underdog behind Anthony Kay, who carries a 3.08 home ERA and gets a Cleveland lineup that struggles against left-handed pitching. The Dodgers and Twins game draws both hosts to the Minnesota side, where Eric Lauer's brutal history against this specific team, thirteen earned runs in ten innings across his last two starts against the Twins, makes laying minus 155 with Los Angeles a non-starter. Both hosts land on the Twins at plus 128, with Munaf adding the Twins team total over in the first five innings. Dave closes the baseball segment with bonus looks at the Reds on the run line against Brendan Woodruff returning from the injured list, a possible under in Texas with Kumar Rocker, and the Red Sox in the first five at Coors. The second half of the episode belongs to the Cleveland Browns, who come in with a win total of six and a half and a roster that looks nothing like the team that went 5 and 12 last season. The Myles Garrett trade to the Rams for Jared Verse and three future draft picks wiped the slate clean, Todd Monken arrives as head coach with prior Cleveland experience and fresh Ravens divisional knowledge, and the quarterback room features Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel competing for snaps. Dave walks through a schedule that he calls extremely favorable, with the Panthers, Jets, Titans, Saints, Falcons, Colts and Giants all on the docket in winnable spots. He counts at least six wins from those matchups alone and calls this the team he feels most confident about in the win total series. Munaf throws out the bold take that the Browns could legitimately threaten for the AFC North title given that three of the four division teams have new coaches. Both hosts take the over. Best bets feature Dave on the Tampa Bay Rays minus half run in the first five innings behind Drew Rasmussen, who has been one of the most quietly dominant starters in baseball with a 0.88 WHIP and 29 strikeouts over his last three starts, and Munaf on the Yankees and Tigers first five innings under four and a half, backing both starters to control the early innings. Dave adds a weather-dependent bonus on the Cubs team total over four and a half against Senga and the Mets bullpen.

Happy Monday, Daylight Burners. I spent Father's Day doing exactly what I wanted to do: watching baseball and yelling at my kids, and the baseball gods gave us a stupid amount of chaos to talk about. I kick things off with my A's splitting a four-gamer with the Angels in West Sac – Friday night was pure insanity. The A's go up early, the Angels rip off 11 straight, Oakland claws back with bombs from Jacob Wilson and Max Muncy, Jonah Heim ties it with a pinch‑hit two‑run shot down to the last strike, and Big Amish walks it off with a bases‑loaded walk after wearing the golden sombrero all night. Then reality hits: a hangover shutout on Saturday and the bullpen coughing it up Sunday with a late Guzmán three‑run shot and yet another Zach Neto dagger to drop the finale 9–7. From there I roll through the Rockies stealing a legit series from the Pirates – including outdueling Paul Skenes 2–1 at Coors, with Tomoyuki Sugano and Jaden Hill slamming the door and Kyle Freeland hitting 1,000 career strikeouts. I give Freeland a big hat tip as a Denver kid who came all the way up through the Rockies system. We talk about the Tigers absolutely needing a weekend like this and getting it: they sweep the White Sox in Detroit behind Tarik Skubal's second start back from elbow surgery, back‑to‑back “ding dongs” from Dylan Dingler (17th and 18th of the year), and Matt Vierling walking it off in extras. I've been hyping Kaider Montero for a while and he shoves seven innings in that series. Around the league I hit all the big series: Cubs hang 16 on the Blue Jays with Carson Kelly's grand slam and Ben Brown shoving, then Toronto claws back the next day. Reds roll into the Bronx and actually take a series off the Yankees behind Cam Schlittler's 13‑K gem and Chase Burns' eighth straight win, only giving up a solo shot to Ben Rice (his 22nd of the year). Rays edge the Nationals, Marlins quietly sweep the Giants in Miami, and the Brewers avoid a sweep in Atlanta with a William Contreras four‑hit day and Robert Gasser's first win since May 2024. Rangers take a wild set from the Padres, with Wyatt Langford hitting a moonshot into the third deck and Nathan Eovaldi grinding out a win. Astros beat back Cleveland behind Yordan Alvarez's 25th homer, and I'm cashing in on him on my Spinball lineup. Royals and Cardinals trade blows on I‑70 with JJ Wetherholt going deep twice in a 12–10 St. Louis win. Twins absolutely bury the Diamondbacks 16–8 with a 10‑run fifth, 20 hits, then come back Sunday to take the series behind Josh Bell's pinch‑hit RBI and a late rally. Red Sox roll into Seattle, win the series, and force the Mariners to lean on a big Logan Gilbert outing to avoid the sweep. Orioles stroll into Dodger Stadium, beat Yamamoto behind seven scoreless from Trevor Rogers, then beat the brakes off L.A. 12–1 on Father's Day with bombs from Taylor Ward, Colton Cowser, Pete Alonso and Blaze Alexander. Phillies absolutely destroy the Mets: Kyle Schwarber hits three homers on Saturday, adds another on Sunday, and Bryce Harper hits for the first cycle of his career while Christopher Sánchez and Zack Wheeler shove. I close it out with a lap around the standings: Yankees still leading the AL East but wobbling, Cleveland back on top of the Central, Mariners barely clinging to a game‑and‑a‑half lead over my A's in a West where everybody's around .500, Braves still on top of the NL East but feeling the Phillies breathing down their necks, Brewers holding serve in the Central, and the Dodgers doing Dodgers things despite dropping a series to Baltimore. Then I look ahead to tonight's slate: Garrett Cole vs Framber Valdez, Hunter Brown vs Dylan Cease, a Japanese‑on‑Japanese matchup with Shota Imanaga vs Kodai Senga, a big Brewers–Reds set in Cincy, Dodgers at Twins in what might be an “over” special, Guardians–White Sox for the AL Central lead, and more. A's are off today before heading into San Francisco for a huge three‑game set with Aaron Civale vs Robbie Ray in Game 1, and I lay out why Oakland needs at least two wins there before they see the Angels again. Hope all you dads had a good Father's Day. I know I did. Don't let your butt crack show, and move your ass – we're Burnin' Daylight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Zach, Jack, and Andrew discuss the Mets historically bad start, impact of injuries to Juan Soto, Jorge Polanco, and Jared Young, inconsistent starting pitching from Kodai Senga and David Peterson, hot starts from Nolan McLean and Clay Homes, time to panic on Devin Williams, Mets youngsters and their struggles, and a look ahead to the future.
Eleven losses in a row. Eleven. The first time this franchise has hit that level of disaster since 2004 — and somehow, this feels worse. Not just because of the losing, but because of how lifeless this team looks doing it. Farace has officially run out of patience (completely shocked), Rodriguez is trying to explain a team that clearly isn't listening, and Producer Joe is just waiting for the next excuse so he can hit the soundboard.Let's start with the obvious — Carlos Mendoza is on the hot seat. Whether it's fair or not doesn't matter anymore… it's hot. The real question is does it lead to anything? Farace isn't convinced the Mets actually make a move, but if this keeps spiraling, they may not have a choice. Meanwhile, Rodriguez is already halfway through his list of replacements like he's been preparing for this moment all season.On the field? It's been ugly. Kodai Senga and David Peterson have both been awful, the lineup has completely disappeared, and over this 11-game losing streak the Mets have scored just 19 runs. Nineteen. That's not a slump — that's a full shutdown. You're not winning games like that. Period.Yes, Juan Soto is expected back soon — and sure, that helps — but let's stop acting like he's walking in to save everything. He's not. The entire lineup has to wake up, start producing, and show some kind of fight, because right now? This team looks completely lifeless.And that's the biggest problem — there's no sign of this turning around. No urgency. No edge. No response. Just loss after loss with the same issues every single night.We're breaking it all down, calling it exactly how it is, and asking the uncomfortable questions — including whether this season is already slipping away before we even get out of April.It's going to be real. It's going to be blunt. And yeah… probably a little loud too.LGM.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner hosts the latest episode of What I Bet on the Pregame Network and Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, returning after a short break at 5-3-1 over his last nine and ready for a long summer of World Cup soccer and Major League Baseball content, opening with a Friday soccer card that covers Serie A, Ligue 1, and the Bundesliga before running through every game on the MLB slate and delivering the What I Bet best bet. In Serie A, Griffin leans Sassuolo plus one at home against Cesc Fàbregas's Como, a newly promoted side that scores goals and offers real value as a home underdog while Como faces tactical distraction from their Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter midweek, and he leans under three goals in Inter's home match against Cagliari citing possible rotation of Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram for the cup match. In Ligue 1, he waits for Toulouse at plus one and a quarter or better against RC Lens in a game where the visiting side tends to perform above expectations in difficult road environments. In the Bundesliga, St. Pauli host FC Köln in a relegation six-pointer where Griffin expects St. Pauli to control possession and grind out a low-scoring physical game, leaning under two and a quarter to two and a half. On the MLB side he runs every game on the Friday board including Kodai Senga and the Mets at plus 124 against Edward Cabrera and the Cubs, Cleveland minus 135 with Tanner Bibee against Chris Bassitt and the Orioles, Tampa Bay over Pittsburgh in the Rays-Pirates game, Michael Wacha at plus 162 for Kansas City against Cam Schlittler and the Yankees, the Blue Jays-Diamondbacks over nine at plus money with Eric Lauer facing Michael Soroka given bullpen concerns for both clubs, Jacob deGrom against Logan Gilbert in the pitching matchup of the night where he wants a seven to play the under, and José Soriano continuing one of the best starts to a season in the American League while the Angels lean makes sense at a reasonable price against Matt Waldron and the Padres. The official best bet is the Braves at Phillies over nine and a half, with Taijuan Walker finding barrels consistently and Martín Pérez generating soft contact but enough traffic for runs to cross the plate on both sides.

The Mets struggle to generate any offense, wasting a strong and encouraging outing from Kodai Senga. While the loss is frustrating, there are signs of optimism on the pitching side as Senga looks closer to his dominant pre injury form. The conversation digs into whether fans should stay patient or start sounding alarms about a lineup that has gone quiet since Opening Day. The discussion then shifts across town as Giancarlo Stanton's hot start forces a reevaluation of his Yankees legacy. The hosts debate how his postseason dominance stacks up against inconsistent regular season availability, while also questioning lineup construction and whether Aaron Judge should be leading off. Along the way, they explore early season trends, managerial decisions, and the growing fascination with the ABS challenge system.
The Mets fail to score despite a strong outing from Kodai Senga, leaving plenty of frustration but also a clear silver lining on the mound. His performance showed flashes of dominance and resilience, giving fans reason to feel encouraged even in a shutout loss. The focus quickly turns to whether this is just an early season slump or a more concerning trend for a lineup that has struggled to produce since Opening Day. The conversation also dives into bullpen strategy and the reasoning behind certain in game decisions that can frustrate fans in the moment. While moves may look questionable during a loss, the bigger picture of managing a long season and preserving arms comes into play. The hosts break down whether these choices are justified or if the Mets are overthinking situations that demand a more aggressive approach.
