The Yankees are winning with a lineup that looks nothing like the expensive powerhouse fans are used to seeing.

COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN - SEASON 5 EPISODE 8 A-Block (SPECIAL COMMENT): BREAKING: Republicans finally throw Trump overboard - or maybe it's "Republicans finally throw Trump under the campaign bus." -Trump toady Byron Donalds, running for Governor of Florida and only ahead in the polls by 1/10 of a percentage point, scrubs Trump from his website. - Foundering GOP Senate candidates in Iowa and Michigan criticize Trump's war in Iran and resultant high prices. - Trump's approval among Pure Independents drops from +15 to -71 since Election Day (an 86 point swing against Trump!; 99 point swing on the economy) -The percentage of Trump voters who supported him - not the GOP - goes from +23 on Inauguration Week to -22. -And the Tump staff response? They want to rename Ford's Theatre after Trump! 'Ford's Theatre - because the one thing you really want as the midterms loom is some commercial that includes the tag lines 'The Lincoln Assassination - brought to you by Donald Trump!' The De-Trumpification Has Begun! PLUS the polls are crashing around him and Trump can't decide if the midterms are about him or aren't about him, and I have to take some of your time to protest this claim that a baseball player who may lead the American League in Runs Batted In this year after leading the National League four years ago, will be the first to ever do it. He isn't. There is now a desperate bid to make everything that happens, something that has never happened before. 'The first time since 1904' is a plenty big enough accomplishment without hyperbole. B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Stephen A. Smith is back and fully up to date on politics (as long as that date is July 15 2024). Jared Golden, phony Democratic congressman from Maine, endorses a Republican in New York because they worked together prioritizing lobstermen over democracy. And Friedrich Merz, a German chancellor having trouble fending off a bunch of fascists bent on ethnic cleansing. Get some help, Ethel Mertz. C-Block (52:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I cherish the memory of a friend no longer with us and the extraordinary person she was. In fact, she should've been president - at minimum, she should've been the VP candidate on the Democratic ticket, not her husband. Elizabeth Edwards - my friend.

Only a couple of days left in the baseball season, and we can’t contain ourselves! The National League Wild Card race is electric. The American League West is insane. The AL Central is absurd.

Big milestones for Eugenio Suárez and Christian Walker, while Yordan Álvarez is SO close to something very special this season, despite his team flirting with a losing record. The Rays are not to be forgotten, but to Tim, the National League is unstoppable. The Quirkjians talk Mason Miller’s dominance and the bruises Randy Arozarena has picked up throughout the season. Plus, would it really be an episode if we didn’t talk about the strikeouts happening all over baseball? On This Date in Baseball History, we talk Rafael Palmeiro, the Nen father-son duo, and Hank Aaron and his brother. Lots of family in this episode, and we love that!

Episode 186 of Tablesetters is LIVE! Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s brutal 2026 season is becoming one of the biggest stories in baseball, especially with the first year of his $500 million extension going this badly. The Blue Jays are on the verge of elimination, Guerrero's production has fallen off dramatically and his recent comments about the contract and fan support have only added another layer to what has already been a massively disappointing year in Toronto. We get into the numbers behind Vlad's collapse, including his 92 OPS+, nine home runs, .359 slugging percentage and 1.3 WAR after posting 4.6 WAR last season. Coming into 2026, Guerrero owned a career OPS+ of 136, so this has not been a minor step backward. Toronto committed to him through 2039 expecting him to remain one of the pillars of the franchise, and right now he is not producing anywhere close to that level. His recent comments make the situation even more interesting. Guerrero said he views the contract as being based on what he had already accomplished rather than necessarily what he will do going forward, while also referring to the people still supporting him through the struggles as his “real fans.” We get into why those comments are going to rub people the wrong way when they are coming from a player with this kind of financial commitment attached to him and this kind of production on the field. Elsewhere, the Tampa Bay Rays are officially AL East champions and have secured the No. 1 seed in the American League. After everything Tampa Bay has gone through over the last two seasons, this might be one of the more impressive years the organization has put together. We get into Drew Rasmussen's huge performance in the clincher, Yandy Díaz continuing to deliver and why this Rays team deserves plenty of attention heading into October. The Yankees have a much different problem. Aaron Judge's latest injury could keep him out of the Wild Card Series, leaving New York with another massive question at the worst possible time. The Yankees have survived without Judge for long stretches already, but surviving a three-game postseason series without him is an entirely different conversation. We also get into the MLB playoff picture with the final weekend almost here. There are still American League division races that could come down to the wire, multiple National League teams trying to officially punch their tickets and some potentially incredible Wild Card matchups starting to appear. Yankees-Red Sox in a best-of-three? Yeah, sign us up. Shohei Ohtani is also returning to the Dodgers lineup just in time for October, and Los Angeles suddenly has several important pieces getting healthy at once. We break down what Ohtani's return means, the other reinforcements arriving around him and some interesting roster and lineup decisions the Dodgers have to make before the postseason begins. What's the Word? returns with three different statements. Did Boston see enough from Chad Tracy to remove the interim tag and commit to both him and Craig Breslow long term? Are the Mets making the right move by sticking with Andy Green after a massively disappointing season? And just how concerned should Toronto be about what has happened to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the first year of his $500 million extension? Plus, we're Coming Around 3rd with everything we're watching during the final weekend of the regular season. Division races, Wild Card scenarios, huge pitching matchups, scoreboard watching and a loaded Sunday afternoon where almost everything will be happening at once. By the time the dust settles, we should finally know exactly what October baseball is going to look like.

Harold Reynolds tells Ken and Anthony he's officially a believer in this Guardians team, crediting Steven Vogt's steady bullpen management as the best coaching job of his tenure and comparing Cleveland's small-ball, contact-first style to the Rays and Brewers as a legitimate path through October. He explains why Jose Ramirez shouldn't abandon switch-hitting despite his hand injury, pointing to Corbin Carroll's similar recovery as a sign Ramirez's best stretch is still ahead. Reynolds also breaks down why the White Sox's young roster may be fading down the stretch from fatigue and inexperience, and names the Yankees and Dodgers as the American League and National League favorites in what he calls a historically wide-open field.

With two weeks left in the regular season, the postseason picture is starting to become a little clearer. However, in the American League, the picture is still a little murky, with multiple teams still in the mix in the division and Wild Card races. As five teams look to finish the season strong, which two will be the ones to get the coveted trip to the October dance?On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take a look at the current state of the MLB postseason picture in the American and National Leagues. Will the Chicago White Sox be able to close out the AL Central, or will the Cleveland Guardians swoop in and take it from them? Can the Toronto Blue Jays, with a strong finish, find a way to make it four AL East teams in the postseason as they sit one game back in the Wild Card?Later in the show, Jake and Jordan examine the case for New York Yankees ace Cam Schlittler to win the AL Cy Young and AL MVP. After Yankees captain Aaron Judge made a comment about pitchers having their own award, is the MVP an award that pitchers should win?
