The Yankees' trade deadline is already producing wildly different results. Luis Garcia Jr. looks like a massive addition and Austin Wells has quieted the catcher concerns, but Fernando Cruz's injury exposes the bullpen hole Brian Cashman failed to fill. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash also debate whether Eugenio Suárez could still help the Yankees in October. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts as Connor Hughes reveals the Jets tried to trade up for Malik Nabers and weighs whether the Jets have a legitimate path to eight wins. Plus, the Jets and Giants roster debate heats up, and Evan predicts Pete Alonso's return to Citi Field with Baltimore could turn the ballpark into an Orioles home game.

Gordon returns with Craig Carton explaining why Troy Aikman was an average quarterback. The NFL announced the Pro Bowl game will be no more. Pete Alonso homered again for the Orioles - his 32nd. Aaron Glenn talked about not calling the defense last year, which was a mistake.

We open with a new 9/11 25th-anniversary documentary, "The Heroism and Resiliency of 9-11: From Tragedy To Triumph." Gordon's update covers Craig Carton calling Troy Aikman an average quarterback. Plus, the NFL scraps the Pro Bowl game, Pete Alonso hits his 32nd home run for the Orioles, Aaron Glenn admits not calling the defense last year was a mistake, and Boomer sees Mike Tomlin heading to the Bucs if they have a bad season.

Matt Pauley takes a quick look at the Cardinals getting a crucial win against the Orioles after dropping the series, Bernie Miklasz joins the show to talk about the Cardinals bullpen situation, what could be next after a Blaze Jordan injury, adjusting expectations for this pitching staff (and pitching overall in MLB). And Taylor Twellman breaks down a flurry of big movement from STL CITY SC, what the fans need to understand about the moves, why Damet's system is so effective & what to expect from a new #9.

Jack and Jeremy assemble to recap their (separate) trips to Baltimore and Washington DC! Jack talks crab fries, Jeremy talks free food at the Nats game, and the guys extoll the virtues of Pete Alonso. This episode is definitely more exciting than almost seeing Pitbull at a DC bar!

Gio heads to the Chris Stapleton concert tonight despite an early morning, before Giants GM Joe Schoen stops by to discuss his new contract, hiring John Harbaugh, Cam Skattebo's backflip, and handling unfair criticism. Then, Jerry updates us with sounds from Jets camp with Geno Smith and Rob Saleh, Brian Daboll's positive outlook, and Andy Reid on Patrick Mahomes. Finally, we hear Dave Sims on the Yankees' loss to the Astros, the Mets beating the Brewers in ten after a costly third-base throw home, and Pete Alonso's 4-for-4, 31-homer night in an Orioles win over the Cardinals.

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick break down the Bucs' 16-15 preseason win over Kansas City, where Baker Mayfield's night was cut short behind a patchwork offensive line missing three of its top four tackles, but the starting defense — even without Vita Vea — flashed real teeth, with Rueben Bain Jr. terrorizing the pocket and Anthony Nelson turning in a monster first half. Once again it was Jalon Daniels rallying the offense late, and Rick and Steve debate whether the rookie has already played his way onto the 53-man roster and turned the Bucs into an unlikely three-quarterback team. They also dig into the wave of players testing a new court ruling that allows a return to college eligibility — Jack Pyburn's situation, plus the wild story of the Browns releasing tight ends who got calls from Lane Kiffin — and preview this week's joint practices with Liam Cohen's Jaguars in Jacksonville.On the Rays, Nick Martinez was brilliant — six innings, one hit — in a 3-1 win over Baltimore that snapped a three-game skid and avoided a fourth straight series loss to the Orioles. Rick and Steve talk about what's behind the second-half stumble in the pitching staff, and why holding onto the AL East lead down the stretch matters as much for the bye it could buy as anything else.

One random night watching a Yankees and Orioles game somehow turned Ben Maller into the executive producer and kingpin of "The Maller Matchmaker: Friend Edition," a completely spontaneous and unnecessary adventure some 2,300-miles away from the People's Republic of California, co-starring Marlins Man and Sports With Coleman. Because when you see Marlins Man behind home plate, naturally the next move is to start meddling in people’s lives. Along the way, Ben plays the adult version of Where’s Waldo?, while Bob Uecker, Don King, Casey Kasem-style “long-distance dedications,” and the Pentagon somehow wander into the story. Sure, why not? Then there’s the important historical investigation nobody requested: What clothing item did President Truman, Elvis Presley, Tom Selleck, and Jimmy Buffett help make popular? We also squeeze in the Atari 2600, Jonestown, and the philosophical dilemma that has tortured mankind for generations: What exactly qualifies as Kool-Aid? It’s Friday’s Fifth Hour — a perfectly normal podcast made by perfectly normal people, unless it's not.

Evan and Tiki discuss the wild weather from Thursday night across the area, the Yankees sweeping the Orioles in Baltimore, Abdul Carter still talking about becoming Lawrence Taylor, Cade Klubnik's back-up QB chances, Rosie gives his cinco on facial hair stylings and Evan wonders what the future holds for Joe Burrow!

Pete Alonso's Hall of Fame future sparks a fascinating Mets debate, as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber wonder whether enough success in Baltimore could eventually make Alonso more closely associated with the Orioles than the Mets. Evan argues that reaching 500 home runs would likely be necessary to put Alonso on a Cooperstown path, with postseason success potentially influencing which team defines his legacy. The Yankees also face a looming roster crunch with Cody Bellinger nearing a return, and Evan insists Spencer Jones cannot be the player sent down after his recent surge. They also discuss Anthony Volpe's move to second base, the possibility of catching Aaron Judge on a minor-league rehab assignment, and Evan's mission to land the Howie Rose retirement-day Mets giveaway.

We open with a preview of tonight's Jets preseason game starting Geno Smith, where a Week 1 loss could mean instant disaster. Before Peter's update, the guys recall the Jets' last victory in Miami and yesterday's crazy storms. Spencer Jones homers to complete a Yankees sweep of the Orioles and gain ground on the Rays, sparking a wild call from Michael Kay. Jacob deGrom becomes the second-fastest pitcher to reach 2,000 strikeouts, tensions turn physical at the Giants-Dolphins joint practice, and the winning Islanders alternate jersey is unveiled alongside Peter's failed attempt. Finally, the hour wraps up with a look at everyone's best, worst, and bucket-list live concerts.

The Yankees swept the Orioles, Gerrit Cole had another good start and Jerry says this is the formula for the Yankees winning the World Series.

Peter Schwartz is here for his first update of the day but first Jerry has a question about a memorable moment from Peter's time covering the Jets for WFAN. Peter has the sounds of the Yankees win over the Orioles to complete the sweep. Yesterday's joint practice between the Giants and Dolphins got a little heated. Jaxson Dart stepped in to keep things under control. The Islanders unveiled the winner of their third jersey contest.

Jerry and C-Lo step in for Boomer & Gio as the Yankees sweep the Orioles, proving their World Series formula with only the Rays standing in their way in the AL. After breaking down heated Giants-Dolphins joint practices, the Islanders' new third jersey, and Jacob deGrom's milestone strikeout, the guys preview Geno Smith's Jets start, Michael Kay's wild broadcast call, and their all-time best and worst concerts. Next, they dive into NFL preseason odds, the origin of Aaron Boone's pointing, and a listener True or False game, before Willie Colon calls in live from Pittsburgh to preview Jets-Steelers. The show wraps up with a debate on the Mets' playoff hopes, an unexpected Moment of the Day, and a preview of tomorrow's Giants game in Miami.

Shorter Peter this time around with talk about when the Jets last won in Miami before moving on the the Yanks taking care of the Orioles.

Jerry and C-Lo step in for Boomer & Gio on a Feel Good Summer Friday. After the Yankees swept the Orioles behind a strong Gerrit Cole start, Jerry outlines the team's World Series formula as the offense wakes up and Aaron Judge works his way back. Both hosts agree only the Rays can stop New York in the AL. Peter Schwartz arrives for his first update, fielding a question about his Jets coverage days before delivering sounds from the Yankees' victory. Tensions heat up at a joint Giants-Dolphins practice until Jaxson Dart steps in, the Islanders unveil their third jersey winner (leaving both Peter's design and Boomer's fish stick dream out in the cold), Jerry tests C-Lo on an AL dark horse threat, and Jacob deGrom hits a major milestone.

Jerry and C-Lo break down preseason NFL odds to reveal their biggest surprises along with the players and teams they view as over or undervalued. Peter returns for an update and we touch upon his weight loss before playing audio from a jovial Aaron Boone following a Yankees victory over the Orioles. Jerry and C-Lo validate Craig's theory regarding the origin of Boone's pointing, and the hour wraps up with Jerry playing a game of true or false with a listener.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler close out the daily run of Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a full Friday MLB card and a look ahead to football season. At 0:10 Manji frames the show as the final daily episode for the year, and at 1:18 Essler reflects on a season that swung from hot to cold before settling in the positive, adding that he cashed a client winner the night before. At 1:56 Manji thanks the audience for riding out a near daily schedule and confirms he and Essler will still team up at least twice a week once football season begins. The card opens at 3:27 with the headline matchup of the day, Chris Sale against Jacob Misiorowski as the Braves visit the Brewers with a rare six run total on the board. At 4:10 Essler leans toward Milwaukee for the full game on bullpen strength while still praising Sale, and at 5:13 Manji prefers an under look through five innings paired with the Brewers on the money line. At 7:00 the pair turns to Boston hosting San Francisco, where Sonny Gray opposes Logan Webb. Essler at 7:15 likes the under and the Giants on the run line off Webb's consistency, and Manji at 8:30 backs the under with Gray's strong home and night splits. At 9:31 Freddy Peralta faces Trevor Rogers as the Rays visit Baltimore, with Essler at 9:56 siding with the Orioles given Peralta's recent familiarity with this lineup, and Manji at 11:11 adding Peralta's rough road and night splits. At 12:17 Troy Melton takes on Noah Cameron as the Tigers visit Kansas City, with Essler at 12:41 backing Detroit after Cameron's grueling prior start, and Manji at 13:29 reinforcing the pick with Melton's dominant road numbers. At 15:07 Nick Lodolo opposes Eduardo Rodriguez in Cincinnati and Arizona, a matchup both hosts admit they rarely get right, with Essler at 15:10 wary of laying a heavy price on Rodriguez and Manji at 17:12 flagging fatigue after a heavy recent workload. At 18:49 Matthew Boyd and the Cubs visit Emerson Hancock and the Mariners, with Essler at 19:16 siding with Seattle's bullpen and Manji at 20:58 eyeing a Cubs team total angle instead. Essler at 22:49 races through the rest of the slate, touching on Washington, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Bubba Chandler and the Pirates, Reid Detmers and MacKenzie Gore in the Angels and Rangers game, a wary look at Hayden Wesneski and the Astros, and a Twins and Padres line that has moved firmly toward Minnesota's Connor Prielipp despite public tickets piling onto San Diego's Randy Vasquez. With the baseball card finished, Essler at 26:58 names the Rams over eleven and a half wins as his favorite NFL win total, pointing to a loaded roster and head coach Sean McVay, while Manji at 28:24 counters with the Vikings over eight and a half, betting on a bounce back year from Kyler Murray under Kevin O'Connell and a friendly home schedule. On the under side, Essler at 30:23 fades the Packers over a suspect secondary and a difficult slate, and Manji at 33:07 takes the Eagles under ten and a half, citing another new offensive coordinator working with Jalen Hurts. The season's final best bets arrive late, with Essler at 37:14 backing the Blue Jays to score over two and a half runs against Cam Schlittler and the Yankees, and Manji at 38:30 closing the year with the Tigers on the money line behind Melton against Cameron and the Royals. Before signing off at 43:07, the hosts preview a busy football stretch ahead, including a new Dream Pod with RJ and a season long props pod with Sleepy, and Manji thanks the show's record keeper, Kelvin, for another season of tracking results.

A three-game sweep of the Orioles gives the Yankees plenty to feel good about, but some big roster questions are coming. We discuss the positives from the series and what the sweep could mean for the Yankees moving forward. With Cody Bellinger set to return, what happens to Spencer Jones? And after another impressive stretch from Ryan Weathers, could the Yankees have a legitimate competition between Weathers and Carlos Rodón for the rotation?

Big Ben talks about the Orioles complaining about replay as their would-be go-ahead home run gets called foul against the Yankees, the Seahawks adding Trevon Diggs to their defensive backfield, Maller to the Third Degree, #AskBen, and more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ben Maller talks about the Orioles complaining after replay over-turned what would have been a go-ahead home run against the Yankees, comments from Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen on Ketel Marte, if there's still some tread on the tires for Phillies lefty Nestor Cortes, and more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Pete Alonso controversy gets even louder as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber compare the stunned reactions from Yankees and Orioles broadcasters after Alonso's apparent home run remained a foul ball. Even Yankees voices admit they caught a break, while Baltimore's broadcasts are left furious over a decision that looked impossible to explain from the angles shown on television. Then the frustration turns into conspiracy talk, with Orioles radio questioning whether the New York-based replay center somehow favored the Yankees. Evan and Tiki dismiss that theory while explaining why the original call on the field was so difficult to overturn. Aaron Boone also weighs in with the one opinion almost nobody else seemed to share: he thought the ball was foul.

The Yankees survived a massive Pete Alonso scare in Baltimore when his towering shot was ruled foul, a call Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber believe completely changed the game. They credit the Yankees for taking advantage and finishing off a 5-3 win, but the controversy raises a bigger question about why MLB still cannot definitively judge fair-or-foul home runs with modern technology. Evan and Tiki call for taller foul poles, better camera angles and even new tracking technology to eliminate the guesswork. They also debate whether Alonso still cares about making headlines in New York, while the Orioles broadcast pours gasoline on the rivalry by mocking Mets fans after his earlier home run.

We start the show with Pete Alonso's controversial foul ball in last night's Yankees win over the Orioles. Jerry says it was a fair ball. We also discuss Steve Cohen's comments before the game yesterday.

We break down the federal investigation into Dodgers owner Mark Walter and Shohei Ohtani's opt-out clause. C-Lo returns with the Orioles broadcast of Pete Alonso's controversial foul ball, Lombard's game-winning RBI, and Carson Benge's HR powering a Mets win as Kodai Senga settles into his new closer role. Plus, audio from Steve Cohen, Al Dukes, Mason Rincon's walk-off HR, and Fernando Mendoza—whom Boomer still thinks sounds like Tom Brady. Finally, Boomer unboxes gifts to share with Jerry!

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open the Thursday, August 20, 2026 edition of Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed by looking back at a one and one showing from the previous best bets episode, then work through a full night of MLB action before closing out their season long NFL win total series with the Los Angeles Rams. The headline matchup is Yankees at Orioles in Baltimore, where Gerrit Cole opposes Kyle Bradish with Baltimore sitting as a home underdog near plus 111 and the total at seven and a half. Dave, at 2:36, explains why he nearly stuck with the Orioles again after their bullpen coughed up a competitive game the night before, praising Bradish for three straight starts with two or fewer earned runs allowed. Munaf, at 4:39, backs the pitching duel theory with hard numbers, noting Cole has gone to the under in all eight of his road starts this season and that the Yankees are 5-2 to the under in the first five innings on the road, leading both hosts to the first five under at four and a half. The conversation then shifts to Nationals at Rangers in Arlington, Andrew Alvarez against Jacob deGrom, where Dave, at 6:08, points out how rarely Washington has faced deGrom this year despite his strong overall track record, while Munaf, at 8:28, lays out deGrom's split of a 2.93 road ERA against a bloated 5.01 mark at home. With Washington's bullpen a season long weakness, both hosts land on the first five under, which Dave later calls his best bet of the day. The night's finale is Angels at Astros in Houston, Grayson Rodriguez against Peter Lambert, with Houston a heavy home favorite and the total at eight and a half. Dave, at 10:11, walks through Lambert's turnaround from early season struggles to five straight starts allowing exactly two earned runs, while Munaf, at 12:27, adds that Rodriguez has been especially rough pitching in Anaheim, pushing both hosts toward the Astros run line in the first five innings. Dave also runs through several early getaway day games at 14:30, leaning toward the Royals over the Athletics, staying cautious on Guardians at Giants despite liking Cleveland starter Gavin Williams, and singling out Mariners at Brewers as his favorite look behind Brewers starter Robert Gasser. Munaf, at 16:20, flags a surprising trend for Mariners starter George Kirby, who has struggled on the road all season even as Seattle keeps winning those first five innings anyway. The back half of the show turns to the Los Angeles Rams, who open the 2026 season with an 11.5 win total after finishing 12-5 a year ago. The Rams enter this season after acquiring reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns and adding cornerback Trent McDuffie, with persistent rumors surrounding a possible Aaron Donald return. Dave, at 18:45 and 19:29, breaks down a demanding schedule that opens with a trip to Australia against the 49ers, continues with a Monday night home opener against the Giants, and includes road trips to Denver and Philadelphia before Buffalo visits, ultimately landing on the over given the talent around Matthew Stafford. Munaf, at 21:17, goes a step further, projecting 13 wins and a division title behind the continued production of Davante Adams, Puka Nacua, and Kyren Williams on offense, paired with a defense that could feature both Myles Garrett and a returning Aaron Donald. The show wraps with the day's best bets, Dave riding the Nationals-Rangers first five under four and a half while Munaf backs the Yankees-Orioles first five under, both hosts tying the picks back to bullpen concerns and starting pitching form across the card. Before signing off, the two point listeners toward a busy day of action that includes golf playoff coverage, a full baseball schedule, and NFL preseason football in the evening, with the next episode of Cash That Ticket set for Friday.

Joshua Baez made maybe the greatest MLB debuts of all time — three home runs, three different pitches, three different parts of the ballpark. Nate and Ben soak it in, then dig into a Cardinals team that's back above .500 and squarely in the wild card hunt: Jordan Walker solving the slider, Alec Burleson leading baseball in a brand-new defensive stat, and a rotation that keeps winning while defying every metric.Down on the farm, Rainiel Rodriguez is climbing toward the top of prospect boards. Plus Phillies and Orioles previews, a very strange batch of league news, and the return of an old friend.Have a question or comment for the show?

C-Lo's first update focuses on the Yanks and starts with Boomer's guy Trent Grisham driving in all three Yankees runs in a 3-1 win over the Orioles. We discuss how players use their challenges and Boomer calling for everyone to “wake up”. Aaron Judge has been swinging a bat under water.

C-Lo returns with the Yankees win over the Orioles. Jazz Chisholm Jr. complained to an umpire during a play last night. Boomer says it's always something with him. Heliot Ramos continues to struggle. Fernando Tatis Jr. had himself a night at Citi Field to lift the Padres over the Mets. Howie Rose joined Gary Cohen in the SNY booth last night. We have an update on the Ketel Marte situation.

Boomer shares a story about a clueless friend. The Yankees beat the Orioles and Fernando Tatis Jr. almost single-handedly beat the Mets. PCA had another leadoff homer and the Cubs walked-off the White Sox again but this time it was Alex Bregman. C-Lo plays one of his old mistakes for Boomer that he brought to the air when Boomer was on vacation. C-Lo thinks Fernando Mendoza sounds like another NFL QB. Jameis Winston.

The hour kicks off with a debate over wrong food orders after C-Lo leaves a dozen donuts at Dunkin, followed by a game identifying iconic movie songs. Before starting his update, Boomer tells a story about a clueless friend. On the field, the Yankees beat the Orioles, Fernando Tatis Jr. nearly sinks the Mets single-handedly, and PCA's leadoff homer sets up an Alex Bregman walk-off win for the Cubs. Plus, C-Lo revisits an old on-air mistake from Boomer's vacation and compares Fernando Mendoza's voice to Jameis Winston. Finally, Jerry fills Boomer in on Al & Rami's podcast about Boomer's time off, suspecting Al was fishing for controversial takes.

Boomer maps out routes for Jerry's upcoming Long Island party before Jerry tackles Friday traffic for Cowboys pregame duty. A caller recounts a failed meet-up with Al at Monmouth Park, while listeners offer advice on surviving long drives without bathroom breaks. Following Dunkin orders, C-Lo kicks off updates with a Yankees win over the Orioles, Jazz Chisholm Jr. complaining to an umpire, Boomer's claim that it's always something with Jazz, and Heliot Ramos' continuing struggles. Plus, Fernando Tatis Jr. dominates the Mets at Citi Field, Howie Rose joins Gary Cohen in the booth, the crew updates Ketel Marte's situation, and a 22-0 Brewers blowout inspires Jerry to look back at baseball's wildest high-scoring games.

Jerry is in for Gio with Boomer as the show opens on the Cowboys-Saints practice brawls. Boomer reflects on his single career joint practice with the Jets plus the pros and cons, and the only teammate brawl he ever saw. After touching on the Giants signing Najee Harris, C-Lo delivers updates on Trent Grisham driving in all three Yankees runs in a 3-1 win over the Orioles, how players use challenges, Boomer calling for everyone to “wake up,” and Aaron Judge swinging a bat underwater. Finally, former Governor Chris Christie makes the Mets playoff case with Craig Carton before Fernando Tatis Jr. crushes their night, Boomer likens the Cowboys brawl audio to a public fight at Target or Walmart, and the guys discuss the new standard for Jaxson Dart's Giants under John Harbaugh.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open their Wednesday, August 19 episode with a full betting agenda, running through a day baseball card before settling into five marquee night games and closing with a detailed look at the Baltimore Ravens win total for the coming NFL season. The show opens at 0:10 with a recap of Tuesday, where a best bet on the Astros fell short as the club managed only one run, while a late addition on the Blue Jays cashed after the market spent the afternoon leaning that direction. The Brewers also delivered a 22 run outburst on a first team total over, and both hosts agree the size of the margin does not change the value of the win. From there the guys turn to Wednesday's slate, beginning at 2:30 with Sandy Alcantara and the Marlins visiting Aaron Nola and the Phillies in an NL East matchup with the total set at eight and a half. Essler leans toward the over given a Phillies lineup that has seen plenty of Alcantara over the years, while Manji reinforces the pick by noting the first two games of this series both cleared ten combined runs and Miami carries one of the stronger road over rates in the league this season. At 4:44 the focus shifts to the Yankees and Orioles, Will Warren opposing Chris Bassitt, where the hosts back the over behind a red hot Bassitt since returning from the injured list and a notable gap in Warren's ERA between day games and night games. At 7:47 the crew previews Logan Gilbert and the Mariners against Dustin May and the Brewers, leaning toward a first five under behind Gilbert's strong seasonal trend in that split and questions about whether Milwaukee's offense stays hot after its outburst the night before. At 10:52 the Nationals and Rangers get a look, Cade Cavalli opposing Kumar Rocker, with both hosts siding with Washington as an underdog given Rocker's recent decline and a soft feeling total that Manji suggests attacking through a Nationals team total over. At 13:34 the Astros and Angels close out the marquee card, Ethan Pecko making his first major league start for Houston against Walbert Urena and the Angels, with both hosts landing firmly on the Angels given the price attached to an unproven starter and Urena's strong personal history against this Astros lineup. Around 16:16 the guys touch on a handful of additional angles, including an under lean in Cincinnati between the Reds and Cardinals and a first five lean on Cleveland behind one of the more reliable arms on the schedule this season. At 18:10 the show pivots to football, and the hosts spend real time on Baltimore's win total of eleven and a half following an 8 and 9 season that kept the Ravens out of the playoffs. They discuss the arrival of new head coach Jesse Minter, the free agent addition of pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, and a schedule that both hosts believe sets up favorably through the middle of the season and into a division heavy closing stretch. Essler walks through the week by week matchups in detail, while Manji highlights Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers, and Mark Andrews as offensive pieces who could push the Ravens toward the higher end of their projected win range. Both hosts ultimately back the over on Baltimore, agreeing that a first year coaching staff typically buys the roster some patience regardless of immediate results. The episode closes with the day's best bets, a first five under between the Blue Jays and Rays built around a dominant WHIP from Tampa Bay's starter and a resurgent veteran arm for Toronto, and a Nationals team total over built around a Rangers starter who has struggled both at home and after dark in his recent outings. The hosts wrap by previewing tomorrow's show, which covers the final NFL win total of their series on the Los Angeles Rams alongside a lighter Thursday baseball slate.

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick break down a wild 7-6 win over the Orioles that snapped the Rays' three-game skid and avoided a home sweep — a slugfest that saw Coby Mayo crush one of the longest home runs in Tropicana Field Statcast history off a returning Shane McClanahan, who battled back on a strict pitch count in his first start off the IL. The Rays answered with home runs of their own, including Jorge Mateo's first as a Ray and one from Yandy Diaz, and closer Bryan Baker logged a rare five-out save to lock it down. With the win, Tampa Bay pushes its AL East lead to six games at 75-49 as the Blue Jays roll into the Trop for a three-game series.On the Bucs side, Rick and Steve recap a scorching first day back at practice, with Emeka Egbuka still walking around in a boot on his injured toe and Jalen McMillan nursing a knee issue — leaving a thin receiver room ahead of Saturday's home preseason game against Kansas City, the Bucs' only preseason game at Raymond James Stadium. They discuss how much action Baker Mayfield and the starters might actually see, the ongoing Jalon Daniels quarterback battle and roster math at backup QB, and where things stand with Vita Vea's holdout as the Bucs look ahead to Cincinnati in the season opener.

SVP and Stanford Steve are here to give their thoughts on various CFB storylines - including the recent AP Top 25 Preseason Poll release - ahead of the season and break down some NFL preseason games. Steve thinks Indiana is too low and the Hoosiers can do it again, and there also might be some former champs who could make noise in 2026 as well in the Big Ten. Week 1 isn't great but Week 2 is loaded, and the guys give the games they're looking forward to most just a couple weeks out. Optimism is easy to come by this time of year… is that what makes August great? SVP brings up the compelling case of why August might be one of the better months of the year.
