Podcasts about New York Yankees

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber continue the Mets conversation by debating whether the team's young players are a real reason for hope or simply a product of injuries and circumstance. The guys weigh the excitement around A.J. Ewing and Carson Benge against the Mets' ugly record, their distance from contention, and the frustration fans feel after another season filled with setbacks. The discussion then turns to Anthony Volpe, whose return to the Yankees brings back familiar questions about expectations, confidence, and whether he still fits in the team's plans. Evan argues that Volpe should no longer be viewed as a top prospect or locked in starter, while the group debates whether he will stay on the roster once Jose Caballero is ready to return.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber close the conversation by pushing back on the idea that every baseball game should create panic, while still acknowledging the Yankees are not playing good baseball. The offense has gone quiet, the team is coming off rough series against Milwaukee and Baltimore, and the Subway Series against the Mets suddenly feels like a bigger test. The guys also break down the key moments from the Yankees' latest loss, including Anthony Volpe's strikeout in a scoring chance, Adley Rutschman's home run, and the concern surrounding Max Fried's elbow. Evan explains why the timing of any injury update could reveal a lot, while the show ends by teasing a debate over whether Suzyn Waldman was trolling Mets fans or simply offering sharp analysis.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber open with Suzyn Waldman's surprising praise of Pete Alonso's defense, debating whether she was giving fair analysis or taking a subtle shot at Mets fans who doubted him. That leads into a larger Mets conversation about poor challenge decisions, umpire frustration, Carlos Mendoza's missed chance to fire up the team, and why this roster still feels difficult for fans to emotionally connect with. The guys also dig into the Yankees' recent struggles ahead of the Subway Series, weighing whether a rough stretch is just normal baseball or the beginning of something more concerning. They discuss Max Fried as the biggest worry, the difference between a true road trip and playing across town, A.J. Ewing's early opportunity with the Mets, and whether the Nets should be aggressive in trying to trade up for a potential franchise player in the NBA Draft.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the Knicks' potential Eastern Conference Finals path, debating whether Cleveland or Detroit would be the more dangerous opponent. The conversation centers on confidence in the Knicks, skepticism around James Harden, and why home court advantage could make Cleveland the preferred matchup. The guys also react to early Giants schedule leaks, including back to back primetime games to open the season, and discuss why the national spotlight raises the stakes for Big Blue. Plus, they touch on A.J. Ewing's opportunity with the Mets, Luis Robert Jr.'s uncertain status, umpire sensitivity around ABS challenges, and concerns about Austin Wells and the Yankees lineup.

Anthony Volpe is back with the Yankees, but Evan and Tiki say this cannot turn into another shortstop controversy. Jose Caballero earned the job, and now the pressure is on Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman to prove the Yankees really are operating differently this season. Meanwhile, the Mets finally gave their fans something to feel good about. A.J. Ewing made his major league debut and instantly brought energy, patience, excitement and actual hope to Citi Field. Is he the spark that can help salvage a brutal start, or is this still a lost season with a fun young storyline? Plus, Evan is still furious about the Nets, Sean Marks somehow still has his job, the Yankees look to win their series against the Orioles, and the Mets young core might be the only thing keeping fans engaged this summer.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber open with a busy baseball conversation as the Yankees get key names back in the lineup and Anthony Volpe's role comes under the microscope. The guys debate whether Volpe should reclaim shortstop, learn multiple infield spots, or let Jazz Chisholm and Jose Caballero hold their current roles. The Mets discussion centers on the need for more power, whether a big swing for a bat like Yordan Alvarez is realistic, and why Rafael Devers does not feel like the right fit. The segment also touches on the Mets' place in the standings, Tiki's Clemson memories, college football playoff expansion, and a heartfelt tribute to former Nets center Jason Collins.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into whether the Mets' young talent can turn a disappointing season into something worth believing in. With A.J. Ewing joining Carson Benge as a source of energy, the conversation centers on hope, urgency, and whether the Mets have enough to climb out of a major early hole. They also debate what went wrong with the Mets' roster construction, why injuries alone do not explain the struggles, and how the kids may be the only thing that can rescue the season. The hour closes with Yankees talk, including Trent Grisham's three run homer and the lasting sting of first pitch home runs in New York baseball history.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to a fascinating split in New York baseball, with Yankees fans uneasy about Anthony Volpe's return while Mets fans rally around the arrival of A.J. Ewing. The Yankees' shortstop situation becomes a test of whether Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman are truly operating differently this season. The discussion centers on why Jose Caballero should keep the job when healthy, what Volpe's role should be moving forward, and how Ewing's debut instantly injected energy into a struggling Mets season. From patient at bats to a fan base desperate for hope, Ewing gave the Mets something worth watching.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into a packed New York sports conversation, from the Yankees sorting out Anthony Volpe's role to the Mets searching for stability with young call ups like AJ Ewing and Carson Benge. The episode captures the urgency around two baseball teams trying to answer very different questions, with the Yankees weighing versatility and the Mets looking for signs of life. The guys also react to the tragic passing of former Nets center Jason Collins, debate NBA team building through the Knicks, Thunder and Nets, and Evan debuts a pointed song about why Sean Marks still has a job in Brooklyn. Plus, the conversation moves through Knicks playoff preferences, college football playoff expansion, and whether any of Evan's teams are truly close to a championship.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down a big New York baseball day, from the Yankees adjusting to Anthony Volpe's return to the Mets getting a much needed jolt from A.J. Ewing's major league debut. The conversation digs into whether the Yankees can truly trust Jose Caballero as their shortstop once healthy, why Volpe should not automatically reclaim the job, and how Ewing's patience, energy, and debut performance gave Mets fans something they have been missing this season: hope.

Was Graig Nettles one of the greatest third basemen to ever play… or just another name lost in the numbers? This episode of Kenny The Sports Guy Podcast dives deep into one of baseball's most debated Hall of Fame snubs. A 22-year MLB veteran, Nettles crushed 390 home runs, drove in over 1,300 RBIs, and anchored championship teams with the New York Yankees. He was a six-time All-Star, a two-time World Series champion, and one of the best defensive third basemen of his era. So why isn't he in Cooperstown? We break down the real reasons: A .248 career batting average that never wowed voters Limited accolades compared to peers at a stacked position Playing in the shadow of legends like Mike Schmidt and Brooks Robinson And a Hall of Fame voting system that dropped him off the ballot in just four years But here's the twist—advanced stats tell a different story. Nettles posted around 68 WAR, one of the highest totals for any player NOT in the Hall of Fame . So did voters get it wrong? This episode asks the tough question: Was Graig Nettles truly snubbed… or just not quite elite enough?

The Yankees secured a big win over the Orioles fueled by a Trent Grisham homer and the return of Anthony Volpe, while Victor Wembanyama pushed the Spurs past the Timberwolves with another dominant performance.

As the baseball season approaches the middle of May, there are plenty of good things going on in the game that fans should be excited about. With players like Aaron Judge and Kyle Schwarber having typical slugger seasons, there are a few players for whom it might be getting a little late early when it comes to not seeing the usual production we're used to. On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take a look at some players they're starting to get a little concerned about and try to predict which ones could have a decent rebound. Can guys like Fernando Tatis Jr., Cal Raleigh and Bo Bichette figure it out at the plate and return to form or are they in for what could be a very long season? Later, Jake and Jordan welcome Miami Marlins slugger Liam Hicks to the show as he talks about the adjustments he made at the plate in the offseason that are paying off for him this year, what it's like having pitches called from the dugout and the strategy the team uses for the ABS. They then talk about Paul Skenes dominating on the mound once again, the New York Mets calling up A.J.

Tonight's MLB episode of Productive Conversations w/ Matt Brown is loaded from top to bottom. We open with the biggest storyline hanging over the sport — owners and players officially kicked off CBA negotiations today, with a salary cap front and center and a potential work stoppage looming at the end of this season. Then we get into the on-field chaos: Shohei Ohtani is in the middle of a real offensive funk, hitting .241 with an 0-for-17 skid that had the Dodgers sitting him out of the DH spot on pitching days. Cal Raleigh — last year's AL MVP runner-up — is hitting just .161 and is hitless in his last 36 plate appearances, calling his slump “really ugly.” Spencer Jones finally made his big-league debut Friday for the Yankees, giving them two 6-foot-7 sluggers in the same outfield. Carlos Correa tore a tendon in his ankle swinging in a batting cage and is done for the year. And we close out by paying tribute to John Sterling, the legendary Yankees radio voice who passed away May 4th at 87.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into Yankees frustration after another tight loss, with callers questioning why the team will not lean more on small ball when runs are hard to come by. The guys debate whether a bunt made sense in a key spot and why the middle of the order has to produce when the lineup behind it is not exactly loaded. The conversation also turns to Aaron Boone's bullpen management, as fans wonder why relievers who get big outs are not allowed to keep rolling. Evan explains why managing a modern bullpen is rarely that simple, especially when the options are imperfect and every move looks brilliant or foolish depending on the result.

The Yankees losing streak continues, as the team no longer looks like the 1998 Yankees. The Mets call up Ewing, and the Knicks have their feet up relaxing.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the Mets calling up A.J. Ewing and use it as a jumping off point for a bigger question about desperation in New York baseball. With the Mets struggling and the Giants reportedly looking to move expensive contracts, the conversation turns to whether Rafael Devers or Matt Chapman should interest either the Mets or Yankees. The strongest debate centers on Devers, whose bat could transform the Yankees lineup but whose contract, defense, and long term fit create real concerns. The Mets side feels even more complicated, as taking on another massive deal would clash with their recent approach to Brandon Nimmo and Pete Alonso, making any move for Devers feel difficult to justify.
