Jets fans might need bags on their heads as the season spirals, with tough games against the Panthers and Browns ahead. Giants, Jets, and Yankees fans are still fuming, while the Mets clean house—except for Carlos Mendoza. On the field, Dart owns his mistakes, DABOLL fumes over turnovers, Max Fried bombs again, and Boomer steals the spotlight with a lifetime achievement award.
Giants are in freefall with five turnovers, a 1-5 record, and fan blogs tearing into DABOLL—Boomer wonders what's left of NY sports. Jets keep fumbling, Yankees get crushed again, and Max Fried struggles on the mound. Meanwhile, Daniel Jones and the Colts quietly shine at 4-1, with Gio loving the DABOLL-SCHOEN saga and Boomer praising Jonathan Taylor's impact.
Gio called the Jets' latest loss one of the worst he's ever seen, as their defense keeps getting torched and turnovers pile up like it's the Kotite era. The Giants self-destructed with five straight giveaways, while coaches Glenn and DABOLL preach discipline to deaf ears. Over in baseball, the Yankees got smoked again, Max Fried imploded, and fans called in furious, while Boomer celebrated a golf award to lighten the mood.
It was a brutal weekend for New York sports: the Yankees got smoked by the Blue Jays, Max Fried melted down, and Boomer slammed the “give-up at bats.” The Giants self-destructed with five straight turnovers, while Gio and DABOLL ripped into the collapse. The Jets? Still winless, still fumbling, with Aaron Glenn and Breece Hall owning the highlight reel—and to top it off, Mark Sanchez made headlines for all the wrong reasons in Indianapolis.
It was a nightmare weekend for New York sports: the Yankees got crushed again in Toronto, with Max Fried giving up seven runs and Boomer ripping their “give-up at bats”; the Giants turned the ball over five straight times and now face a 1-5 record, leaving DABOLL under fire and Dart owning his mistakes; and the Jets remain winless, fumbling and floundering on defense while Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson wonder what's going wrong. Fans called in furious as the losses piled up, and even Boomer wondered aloud, “What are we gonna do with sports around here?” Meanwhile, Daniel Jones and the Colts quietly shine elsewhere, highlighting just how bleak things are for New York teams.
Jerry's back with another round of heartbreak: the Yankees got crushed, Max Fried couldn't find the strike zone, and Toronto ran wild. Over in football, the Jets are flailing at 0-5 with zero takeaways, Justin Fields' fumble making headlines, and no pass rush in sight. Meanwhile, the Giants keep gifting the Saints the win, turnovers piling up, and DABOLL left shaking his head.
The Yankees find themselves on the ropes after a crushing 13–7 loss to the Blue Jays in Game 2 of the ALDS. In this episode, we break down how rookie Trey Yesavage stole the spotlight with 5.1 hitless innings and a franchise-record 11 strikeouts, while Toronto's bats erupted early. From Ernie Clement's two-run homer to Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s grand slam and Daulton Varsho's two bombs, the Jays put New York in a deep hole before the middle innings. We'll also look at Max Fried's struggles, Will Warren's tough relief outing, and the Yankees' late rally led by Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton that came far too late. What went wrong for New York, what Toronto did perfectly, and what it means as the Yankees head home facing elimination—we cover it all in this instant reaction to Game 2.Tap in to Episode 616 of the Productive Conversations Podcast—available now on all podcast platforms and YouTube.#MLB #baseball #baseballplayer #mlbtheshow #sportsbetting #podcast #news #trending #trends #targeting #sports #sportsnews Best way to contact our host is by emailing him at productiveconversationspodcast@gmail.com or mbrown3212@gmail.comThis show has been brought to you by our friends at MAGIC MIND.

BT & Sal go off on the Yankees after getting demolished in Toronto, with a horrendous performance driven by an ice-cold offense and a disastrous outing from Max Fried. They tear into Aaron Judge's "soft" postseason, manager Aaron Boone's bullpen decisions, and the "embarrassing" non-competitive at-bats that have the team on the verge of elimination.
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 13-7 win over the Yankees as Toronto takes a 2-0 series lead in the ALDS! They take your calls and texts, and get right to Trey Yesavage, who struck out 11 without allowing a hit over 5.1 IP in a historic start for a rookie - why did the Yankees have nothing against him? Was it the right move for John Schneider to take him out in the sixth inning? They also get into the offence exploding against Max Fried and Will Warren, including two home runs for Daulton Varsho, an early homer for Ernie Clement, and the first-ever postseason grand slam from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. - is Vladdy rewriting his own playoff legacy? Plus, they chat about the bullpen usage - was there anything to the late rally off the Jays' low leverage arms? The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
The Yankees' postseason run hit its first bump north of the border as Toronto dominated Game 1 of the ALDS with a 10–1 victory at Rogers Centre. Despite the lopsided score, host Chris Nesi reminds fans that the effort on the field wasn't nearly as bad as the final line suggested. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. put on a two-way clinic, flashing leather and launching a homer, while Alejandro Kirk surprised everyone with two of his own.Luis Gil's short outing forced the Yankees to tap deep into their bullpen—using six pitchers—and things unraveled from there. But even in the loss, Chris remains confident the Yankees will bounce back, predicting a four-game series win with Max Fried taking the mound against rookie Trey Yesavage in Game 2. With Rodón and Schlittler lined up for Games 3 and 4, the path to the ALCS is still wide open. Plus, Chris breaks down key at-bats, bullpen decisions, and why the offense must wake up fast if the Yankees want to “Chase for 28” to stay alive.Bullpen Q&A ☎️You have opinions just like we do so we want to hear from you!Email us at feedback@chasefor28.comConnect with us on Twitter @chasefor28podConnect with us on Instagram @chasefor28podSend a voicemail http://chasefor28.com/voicemailMerch

The Yankees and Red Sox opened their Wild Card showdown with a thriller in the Bronx — and I've got all the reactions you need. From Anthony Volpe's early homer that gave the Yankees life, to Garrett Crochet absolutely silencing the bats with 11 strikeouts, to Masataka Yoshida's clutch pinch-hit two-run single that flipped the game in Boston's favor — we break it all down.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker welcome former Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo to kick off the second hour (1:00). He discusses the pressure that comes with pitching at Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium, the mental chess match of postseason pitching, the Reds' experience mismatch in their series against the Dodgers, and he shares a live sample from his new record, Raw Confessions. Later, ESPN insider Jeff Passan joins the show (28:40) to share some impressions from the first day and a half of Wild Card baseball, the lefty-pitching showcase, Aaron Boone's decision to pull Max Fried in the seventh inning of Game 1, rumours that Albert Pujols is in line for the Angels manager job, and much more.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
Sal and BT furiously dissected Aaron Boone's managerial decisions in the Yankees' Wild Card game loss, calling it an "unmitigated disaster." The primary critique centered on the premature pull of ace Max Fried, who was clearly still effective, in favor of a struggling Luke Weaver, a move they believe was based on predetermined, data-driven "soft landing" planning rather than a feel for the game. Both hosts agreed that Boone's decision-making—which included a poorly constructed lineup and questionable double-switch—was symptomatic of a larger organizational issue where adherence to analytics trumps on-field situational awareness, ultimately costing the Yankees a critical postseason victory.
Sal and BT dissect the Yankees' Game 1 loss, focusing on manager Aaron Boone's controversial decision to pull Max Fried early, which Sal argues proves Boone doesn't trust his best pitcher. The conversation explodes when a new rookie on the Cleveland Guardians drops a routine pop-up in his MLB debut, leading to a fiery rant about the low quality of some playoff teams. Finally, the hosts pivot to the Mets' and Yankees' front offices, demanding a deep, critical review of their roster construction and managerial decision-making, while reviewing a caller who vehemently blames Boone and the team's analytics-driven approach.
Sal and BT furiously dissected the Yankees' Wild Card Game 1 loss to the Red Sox, leveling criticism directly at Aaron Boone and the organizational reliance on predetermined scripts over "feel for the game." The central issue was Boone's decision to pull ace Max Fried for Luke Weaver, a move they both deemed a mistake, regardless of the results. The discussion also covered the subpar performance of the offense, Jazz Chisholm's "childish" and "disrespectful" post-game avoidance of the media, and Aaron Judge's clearly compromised arm strength in right field, which the Red Sox aggressively exploited. They argued the loss was an "unmitigated disaster" that exposed the Yankees' long-standing structural flaws.
Sal and BT dissected the Yankees' Game 1 Wild Card loss, pointing out that all of the team's season-long flaws—poor hitting against elite pitching, bullpen struggles, and questionable managerial decisions—resurfaced at the worst possible time. Sal argued that manager Aaron Boone disastrously managed the game, especially by pulling Max Fried too early for a struggling Luke Weaver, while BT worried about Aaron Judge's diminished arm strength. They agreed that the best-of-three Wild Card series format is brutal and unforgiving, leaving the Yankees with little margin for error as they face a must-win Game 2. The discussion shifted briefly to the sheer madness of the MLB playoffs, with the Guardians inexplicably giving a prospect, Chase Delauter, his Major League debut in a postseason game.
Sal and BT furiously dissected the Yankees' Wild Card Game 1 loss, tearing into manager Aaron Boone for his controversial decision to pull ace Max Fried, a move they argue proves Boone lacks a "feel for the game" and relies on pre-programmed analytics. The hosts went scorched-earth on the team's structural flaws, highlighting Aaron Judge's compromised throwing arm being exploited by the Red Sox and calling out Jazz Chisholm's "childish" reaction to being benched. The discussion evolved into a fiery demand for the Yankees (and the Mets) to conduct a deep, critical review of their rosters and management, capping the segment with a rant about a rookie's embarrassing error that symbolizes the low quality of some playoff teams.
The Dodgers looked to be cruising to a game 1 win over the Reds before the bullpen was summoned. Thankfully they were able to hold on for a 10 to 5 win. How should they handle the bullpen moving forward in the postseason if even a double digit lead isnt safe? Also, Aaron Boone was critcized heavily for taking Max Freid out of the Yankees-Red Sox Game 1 with a 1-0 lead (Boston came back to win the game).

Game 1 of the Wild Card series had everything October baseball promises—tension, drama, and heartbreak in the Bronx. In front of 47,000-plus fans at Yankee Stadium, Max Fried delivered a gem and Anthony Volpe provided an early spark with a solo shot. But the night unraveled in the seventh inning when the Yankees' bullpen faltered, giving the Red Sox the opening they needed.Garrett Crochet turned in a historic performance for Boston, striking out 11 Yankees over 7.2 innings, while former Yankee Aroldis Chapman slammed the door in the ninth. Despite loading the bases with no outs in their final at-bat, the Yankees couldn't cash in. Chris breaks down the pivotal moments, from Luke Weaver's missed chance to Yoshida's clutch pinch-hit and Bregman's insurance RBI. With Carlos Rodón set to start Game 2, the Yankees are now fighting for survival in this best-of-three series.Key Topics Discussed:Anthony Volpe's early home run gives Yankees a 1–0 leadMax Fried delivers 6.1 shutout innings, earning a standing ovationSeventh inning collapse: Weaver's walk, Sogard's hustle, Yoshida's clutch singleGarrett Crochet's dominant postseason debut: 7.2 IP, 11 K, 0 BBNinth inning heartbreak: Story's single and steal, Bregman's RBI doubleYankees load the bases in the ninth but Chapman slams the doorMissed opportunities: 5 left on base, bullpen inconsistenciesBoone's questionable lineup and bullpen management decisionsGame 2 preview: Carlos Rodón vs. Brayan Bello—win or go homeBullpen Q&A ☎️You have opinions just like we do so we want to hear from you!Email us at feedback@chasefor28.comConnect with us on Twitter @chasefor28podConnect with us on Instagram @chasefor28podSend a voicemail http://chasefor28.com/voicemailMerch
Jerry's final update hit baseball first, with Max Fried and Garrett Crochet set for October starts and David Stearns owning up to a trade deadline flop. The Jets' Miami meltdown took center stage next—turnovers, flags, Glenn's frustration, and Cam Ward's blunt “we ass” summation, with Brandon Tierney saying he now “abhors football.” Michael Irvin blasted the Cowboys-Packers clock fiasco, and Gio's bizarre workout routine closed out the Moment of the Day.

Sal and BT dove headfirst into the Yankees-Red Sox Wild Card series, emphasizing the high pressure and rejuvenated rivalry. They discussed Max Fried facing Garrett Crochet, with Aaron Judge needing a defining postseason. The conversation swerved to a surprising revelation: Boomer Esiason, a self-proclaimed Mets fan, was seen wearing a Mickey Mantle Yankees jersey, prompting a fiery segment on "Mets fans for Yankees." They then welcomed NFL Insider Brian Baldinger, who gushed about Jaxson Dart's excellent debut for the Giants, praising his poise and the defense's performance. Conversely, Baldinger criticized the Jets for their continued penalties and lack of discipline, echoing Sal and BT's frustration.
BT and Sal ripped into the Jets' "putrid, inexplicably bad" 0-4 start, with BT questioning if Aaron Glenn is truly the answer, citing the team's abysmal tackling, constant penalties, and boneheaded mistakes that show no improvement from the "Same Old Jets" narrative Glenn promised to end. Sal, while acknowledging the disaster, argued Glenn needs time, but conceded the noise and pressure of the New York market may doom him. Shifting to baseball, they debated the Yankees' Wild Card roster, surprised that top arm Luis Gil was left off in favor of Paul Blackburn. Finally, they wrapped with a fiery "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth" segment, declaring the Mets will make the playoffs in 2026 (Truth), Darius Slayton will not lead the Giants in receiving yards (Lie), and Max Fried will have a better pitching line than Garrett Crochet in Game 1 (Truth).
Sal and BT are hyped for the Yankees' Wild Card series against the rival Red Sox, but acknowledge it's the most dangerous test for this Yankees team, possibly the best one Aaron Boone has managed. They debate the matchup between the Yankees' ace Max Fried and the Red Sox's nasty lefty Garrett Crochet, expressing concern over the Yankees' projected lineup, which excludes hot hitters like Ben Rice due to matchups. The hosts agree that for the Yankees to succeed and potentially win a World Series, Aaron Judge must finally deliver an MVP-caliber performance in the postseason and carry the team, shutting up the critics after last year's collapse.
Sal and BT dove into the high-stakes Wild Card Series opener between the Yankees and Red Sox, centered around the formidable pitching matchup: Max Fried versus Garrett Crochet. Sal emphasized that this is a true test for the Yankees right out of the gate, unlike the previous year's "cakewalk." BT agreed it's the toughest matchup they could face but feels this deeper, more resilient Yankees team is finally equipped to fight. The conversation quickly shifted to the immense pressure on Aaron Judge to deliver in the postseason, especially against a "nasty lefty" like Crochet, while also questioning manager Aaron Boone's projected lineup decisions against the tough matchup.
BT and Sal bring in Hoff for a fiery edition of "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth," tackling three controversial statements. First, Sal declares the Mets making the 2026 playoffs is a Bald-Faced Truth, driven by his faith in Steve Cohen and David Stearns to make major changes. Second, the trio debates if Darius Slayton will lead the Giants in receiving yards this season, with Sal betting it's a Bald-Faced Lie in favor of Wan'Dale Robinson. Finally, they heatedly discuss the Yankees-Red Sox Game 1 pitching matchup, with Sal ultimately siding with Max Fried having a better line than Garrett Crochet, arguing that Aaron Judge will touch up the Red Sox ace.
Welcome to Episode 107 of Tablesetters! The MLB postseason has finally arrived, and we are diving deep into all four Wild Card matchups, exploring the stakes, storylines, and keys that could determine who advances. We begin in the Bronx with Yankees against Red Sox, a rivalry that has defined October baseball for decades. These two have met six times in the postseason since 1999, and Boston has claimed victory in the last three. This time New York counters with Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, and the most powerful lineup in the game. The question is whether Boston's bullpen and the brilliance of Garrett Crochet can once again swing the balance in their favor. Next comes Padres against Cubs, their first postseason encounter since 1984. San Diego brings elite strikeout arms and perhaps the strongest bullpen in baseball, while Chicago leans on depth, defense, and the unshakable energy of Wrigley Field. This series could turn entirely on who controls the late innings. In the Central, it is Guardians against Tigers, a matchup that feels transformed from their earlier meetings. Cleveland enters October riding one of the hottest Septembers in recent memory, while Detroit boasts the ace of the year in Tarik Skubal. It is a contest between momentum and sustained excellence. Out West we find the underdog story: Reds against Dodgers. The defending champions return armed with Ohtani, Betts, and Freeman, but Cincinnati has a blueprint of its own with Hunter Greene's overpowering fastball and Terry Francona's postseason expertise. The real question is whether the Reds can strike early and rewrite the script. Throughout the episode we cover what truly decides these short series: rotation matchups, bullpen sequencing, defensive sharpness, and the single swing that can turn a season. October baseball is defined by chaos, and the Wild Card round is the first spark. Follow us on Instagram and X @tablesetterspod, subscribe to the show, and share with your baseball circle. The road to the World Series begins now.
Lindor blasted his way into the 30/30 club as the Mets beat the Cubs, while the Reds and Yankees kept rolling. Sam Darnold led the Seahawks to a comeback win, the Ryder Cup is heating up, and the Bills look like the knockout pool pick over the Saints. Plus, Shedeur Sanders says he's already better than some NFL QBs, and fans are debating if Max Fried should get the ball in a do-or-die game Sunday.
