The Mets dropped a doubleheader to the Cubs while the Yankees beat the Tigers again. Gary Cohen declared the Mets in the "depths of despair" during a game that "causes reevaluations." Fans chanted for Pete Alonso—though Gio claims he wouldn't make them any better. C-Lo starts his first update with the Yankees' win behind two Paul Goldschmidt home runs. Plus, Ryan McMahon hits the IL with a throat abscess, we hear the sounds of the Mets giving up 10 runs in each game, and a NY Times article reveals how Dianna Russini FaceTimed a head coach to get out of a police ticket.

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.

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

It's World Cup Day and Seattle is showing out! A lot of times people use the term “choke job” far too often, but the Spurs game 4 collapse last night was absolutely a choke job. Yes, the Knicks deserve some credit, but more of the blame needs to be pointed in San Antonio's direction. Can they possibly come back after that? It's doubtful. :30- Mariners Morning After George Kirby started off great and the game was scoreless into the 6th and then it all fell apart, resulting in a 7-2 loss for the Mariners. The M's seemed determined not to waste any bullpen arms and let Kirby go 6 before bringing in Gonzalez who had just been called up and letting him finish up. :45- It's World Cup Day and while Seattle doesn't have any games in town today, the city is gearing up for the first game on Monday and there's watch parties all around town. Team USA plays Paraguay tomorrow and we have some very excited co-workers who will join us tomorrow. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Longtime New York Radio personality and host of Baseball Night in New York Sal Licata stays on to talk some baseball including, where he is with the New York Mets, will they be sellers at the trade deadline, should David Stearns be on the hot seat, and should the team be regretful in not bringing back Pete Alonso?

The guys discuss how impressed they've been with Pete Alonso on and off the field in his short time in Baltimore so far.

Pete Alonso is starting to heat up at the plate, but Gunnar Henderson's slump has no end in sight. Bob and Nolan dove into the May stats for some key O's bats.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider (1:05) joins Jeff Blair following the team's series-opening win over the Baltimore Orioles. The skipper shares his expectations for recent call-up Charles McAdoo ahead of his MLB debut, what it would mean to finish May with a .500 record, how he's navigated significant injuries in the rotation, why the outfield defence has dropped off, and Brandon Valenzuela's growth as a catcher. Later, former MLB infielder and co-host of the B-More Baseball Podcast, Mike Bordick, stops by (26:02) to discuss what the Jays can expect from Orioles starter Brandon Young, why the O's have failed to meet expectations placed on their young core, Pete Alonso's fit, and the future at catcher between Adley Rutschman and Sammy Basallo. 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.

Jeff Blair and Sho Alli break down the Blue Jays' 2-1 win vs. the Orioles to open the four-game series in Baltimore! They take your calls and texts, and get right to the defence and pitching saving the Jays yet again - how important was Andrés Giménez on both sides of the ball in this one? They discuss the play of the youngsters, including Yohendrick Piñango working a bases-loaded walk and Brandon Valenzuela with a terrific pop-and-throw to get Pete Alonso in the eighth inning - how important have they both been so far? Plus, they discuss the terrific evening from the bullpen, and another great outing from Patrick Corbin - where would the team be without him?   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.

On this episode, we dive into a loaded MLB and NBA slate packed with hot takes, blockbuster trade ideas, and player debates. Josh opens with a True or False segment asking whether at least 10 pitchers legitimately have a shot to win the NL Cy Young Award this season. Then we revisit the biggest MLB free-agent signings and decide whether each move has been a good sign or a bad sign for their new teams — featuring stars like Bo Bichette, Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, Pete Alonso, Dylan Cease, and more. On the NBA side, we break down a massive three-team blockbuster sending Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Wizards, Anthony Davis to Golden State, and a mountain of picks changing hands. We debate who wins the deal long-term and what it means for the future of all three franchises. Plus, in another edition of “Who Would You Rather Have For The Next 3 Seasons,” we put OG Anunoby head-to-head with some of the NBA's biggest names including Austin Reaves, James Harden, Derrick White, De'Aaron Fox, Amen Thompson, Steph Castle, and more.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler take on a focused Thursday card on Cash That Ticket, covering Game 6 of the NBA Western Conference Finals and three all-divisional MLB matchups on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed. The Oklahoma City Thunder arrive in San Antonio holding a 3-2 series lead with Jalen Williams listed as questionable, Ajay Mitchell officially ruled out with a right soleus calf strain, and Thomas Sorber also unavailable, while the Spurs enter with a clean injury report for an elimination game at home. The Spurs open as 3.5-point favorites at a total of 219.5, and both hosts target the under as the primary play. Dave makes the case from Game 5 numbers he considers unsustainable, including OKC shooting 48 percent from three, 70 combined free throws, 26 Spurs fast break points, and 241 total points in a San Antonio loss. He expects the Spurs to slow the pace and play one possession at a time to force a Game 7, while also noting that eight of the last nine Spurs games went over yet this total is the highest they have faced in months. Munaf goes further by also laying the 3.5 points with San Antonio, using Game 4's 103-82 result as his stylistic template, and identifies the first half total of 106.5 as a secondary under spot. On props, Dave targets Stephon Castle at plus 116 for two or more threes made, backed by five-plus attempts in four of his last five games and a Thunder defensive focus on Wembanyama that consistently opens the perimeter for Castle. Munaf backs De'Aaron Fox rebounds plus assists over 9.5 on FanDuel after the number cashed easily in Game 5, and reads Wembanyama as more likely to impact the game through scoring than rebounding given OKC box-out adjustments over the last three games. The baseball card features three 6:35 to 6:40 Eastern divisional matchups. In Baltimore, Patrick Corbin faces Chris Bassitt, who takes on his former team at Camden Yards with a sharp home-road split showing a 3.46 ERA at home against an 8.02 on the road. Dave leans Toronto at the underdog price, while Munaf backs the Orioles and over 8.5, noting Pete Alonso as a home run prop candidate and Corbin's career struggles against Baltimore. In Pittsburgh, Paul Skenes draws the Cubs in a spot where the data runs against his reputation. In four home starts against Chicago, Skenes has never completed five innings, owns a 5.60 ERA, and has allowed 11 earned runs and five home runs in 17.1 innings against Cubs bats. Winds blow out at 13 miles per hour at PNC Park and both hosts back the over 7.5 with the Cubs first five innings money line as a supporting play. The rubber match between Houston and Texas closes the card with Spencer Arrighetti facing Nathan Eovaldi. These starters combined for more than 14 innings and zero runs when they each faced these same opponents roughly two weeks earlier. Dave makes the Astros first five innings plus 0.5 runs at minus 120 his official best bet, keeping Houston's struggling bullpen out of the equation while the half-run cushion protects a tie after five. Munaf takes the first five under, citing Eovaldi's streak of six-plus innings in five straight starts and a seven-inning Astros shutout on May 17th as reasons the total stays low early. Best bets for Thursday are the Astros first five plus 0.5 runs from Dave and Cubs-Pirates over 7.5 from Munaf.

On the post-game edition, Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker welcome Blue Jays TV analyst Joe Siddall (3:41) to reflect on Toronto's 2-1 win to close out their series against the Miami Marlins. They discuss Tyler Heineman's franchise-record-setting day as he caught four Marlins stealing, who will be the odd men out when Addison Barger and Alejandro Kirk return, and whether Jeff Hoffman's recent form is sustainable. Then, MASN Orioles analyst Roch Kubatko (34:10) stops by with the Jays heading off to Camden Yards, and he discusses the frustrating year so far for the O's, Pete Alonso's fit, Chris Bassitt's first season in Baltimore, and 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.

Zach, Jack, and Andrew discuss the inconsistent Mets offense, making every pitcher look like Cy Young, base stealing woes, Semien's defensive decline, Pete Alonso's defensive resurgence, the return of Lindor, Torrens and his struggles, the potential Kodai Senga return, Christian Scott's future, the reason for Nolan McLean's bad starts, and some actual hope for the future.

What are fans most upset about with this Red Sox team? Is it the production of the team or the general management of the front office? Would you rather have kept Alex Bregman or gotten Pete Alonso?

The crew is back for another packed episode of Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank as Dan Fox, Frank Knight, Alan “Action” Jackson, Tyler, and Rich Vassallo break down a wild week across the sports world. The guys dive into the Yankees' recent struggles, the Mets continuing to disappoint despite a massive payroll, and whether teams like the Braves are already running away with their divisions before summer even arrives. There's also a spirited debate about Pete Alonso, Bo Bichette, the Phillies' inconsistency, and whether the Mets still have any realistic playoff hopes left.The NBA playoff conversation gets heated as the crew discusses the Knicks' surprising playoff run, Joel Embiid's frustrations, the weakness of the Eastern Conference, and why Oklahoma City may be the biggest buzzsaw in basketball right now. They also revisit NBA history with discussions about Dennis Rodman, the Malice at the Palace, Karl-Anthony Towns finally stepping up, and whether the Knicks truly have a shot at reaching the Finals.The NHL playoffs bring more strong opinions as Carolina dominates the East, Vegas continues to stir controversy, and John Tortorella once again finds himself at the center of headlines after refusing postgame media obligations. The crew debates playoff formats, coaching personalities, and why some teams always seem to get stuck in tougher conferences than others.The show closes with reactions to the newly released NFL schedule, including predictions for the Giants, Cowboys, Raiders, and the NFC East as a whole. The guys discuss which teams were helped or hurt by the schedule makers, whether the Eagles are due for regression, and why the Raiders may be headed for another long season. Along the way, there's plenty of classic banter, random tangents, church encouragement, and another hilarious email segment at Dan's expense.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist Church of Phillipsburg NJ - http://www.fbcpburg.org/

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into a loaded New York sports hour, with the Knicks inching closer to a potential Eastern Conference Finals matchup and confidence growing around their path to the NBA Finals. The conversation turns into a passionate debate over whether Cleveland or Detroit would be the better opponent, with James Harden doubt, Knicks belief, and playoff expectations all coming into focus. The guys also break down the latest Yankees concerns heading into the Subway Series, including their recent struggles, Max Fried worries, bullpen questions, and Austin Wells at the plate. Plus, they react to Suzyn Waldman's Pete Alonso comments, the Mets' challenge issues, fan frustration over emotional attachment to the roster, Nets draft possibilities, Giants primetime leaks, and A.J. Ewing's early opportunity in center field.

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 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.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the Mets calling up A.J. Ewing and debate whether the move is a smart spark or a sign of desperation for a team searching for answers. With the offense struggling and the season already feeling urgent, they break down why Ewing's arrival brings excitement, pressure, and plenty of risk. The conversation also hits Yankees small ball frustrations, bullpen decisions, Pete Alonso fantasy trades, Nets draft lottery disappointment, and the many ways fans cope when their teams let them down. Plus, Posted and Toasted brings old tweets, LeBron debates, meat on the bone, and a hilarious detour into the mystery behind Evan's name.

Pete Alonso nearly injures his pitcher at first base, a caller questions why the American League has so many bad teams, and Al's lack of a Dukes Mayonnaise endorsement is addressed. Jerry details the Yankees' fourth straight loss to the Orioles, President Trump's comments on Curt Cignetti, and the Cavaliers even their series with the Pistons. Boomer finishes the hour doubling down on sheep for Eddie's retirement as Gio labels Tom Brady "so cheesy" at the Kevin Hart roast.

In Episode 578 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett start at the end, with the A.J. Ewing call up and what that means for the Mets season (and David Stearns job security), then we talk about Pete Alonso talking about formulas, the Giants weird trade, and answer your correspondence.

Samantha Croston and Ashley Wenskoski are BACK to discuss the continued sad state of affairs for the New York Mets. It's revealed that Pete Alonso spoke out against David Stearns' "formulas" last offseason...PLUS, how do the Mets fix baseball's worst record with 2+ months left until the trade deadline?

The Mets have won consecutive series, but entered Friday tied for the worst record in baseball. Could this team really be in a "competitive rebuild" with a $386 million payroll? Boomer and Gio sound off on the terminology used by team brass, while Craig Carton hated the vocabulary used by Gary Cohen to describe Carson Benge's sparkling catch. Plus, Evan Roberts sounds off on the New York Post report about the meeting between Stearns and Pete Alonso.

Plus, Evan Roberts sounds off on the New York Post report about the meeting between Stearns and Pete Alonso.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the strange world of playoff ticket pricing, using the Knicks and Sixers as the perfect example of how dynamic pricing can create confusion, frustration, and empty seats. The conversation breaks down why certain tickets remain available, why prices can drop closer to game day, and why fans may not realize how much risk comes with buying early. The episode also shifts into playoff urgency, fan expectations, and Mets frustration, with calls about Joel Embiid's injury, the idea of teams playing with “house money,” Pete Alonso's future, David Stearns' spending, and Sean Morash's role on the show. It is a lively mix of New York sports anxiety, ticket sticker shock, and classic caller driven debate.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber close things out with Shaun Morash's Cinco de Luncho, ranking the most anticipated New York rookie debuts in recent memory as Yankees prospect Spencer Jones prepares for his big league moment. The list sparks debate over Anthony Volpe, Odell Beckham Jr., Pete Alonso, Aaron Judge, Sam Darnold, and whether Islanders phenom Matthew Schaefer deserved a spot. The segment also features Yankees rotation talk, some breaking referee news, a Spanish counting lesson that leads to Edwin Diaz, and a Knicks fan facing a major life decision with his wife due to give birth during the playoffs. Evan and Tiki make it clear that even a potential Knicks sweep does not outweigh being there for the birth of a child.

The Mets finally won back to back series, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber explain why the good vibes still feel impossible to trust. A painful loss to the Rockies, a questionable lineup, and another quiet moment from Juan Soto leave the Mets looking like a team that still has far too much to prove. The guys dig into why there is no such thing as house money for a team buried under expectations, then react to the latest Pete Alonso and David Stearns drama. From Alonso's fiery reported quote to the Mets' flawed roster construction, the conversation captures the frustration of a fan base tired of excuses and desperate for real progress.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to another frustrating Mets loss, even as the team finally strings together back to back series wins. The conversation centers on why moral victories are not enough for a club still buried under .500 and why every missed opportunity feels magnified. They also dig into the renewed Pete Alonso drama, David Stearns' roster building, Juan Soto's quiet big moments, and the frustration around a Mets lineup that still does not look good enough. What should have been a step forward instead becomes another reminder of how much work this team still has to do.

Jerry weeds through government UFO videos as the guys tackle Jon Heyman's Mets article about Pete Alonso & the Mets. C-Lo shares Hugh Douglas's reaction to Tiki's Joel Embiid comments. After debating bald-head aesthetics and Shaun Morash's thick skin, we revisit the Rockies' fair-pole grand slam and C-Lo's claim he can catch a 300-yard golf drive. Finally, the Moment of the Day features a caller's attraction to pregnant women before we close the week with a TikToker who pranks strangers by pretending to know them.

Hour 5: Tommy talks about the story from Jon Heyman regarding Pete Alonso's comments to the Mets Front Office after his departure from the team. That and much more.

The Knicks take Game 2 against a faster Embiid-less Sixers, but OG Anunoby's hamstring issue has Gio questioning New York's championship ceiling. Ryan Weathers is out for the Yankees after a sudden illness sparked a "hantavirus" debate, while Jerry provides updates on Jalen Brunson's big shot and the NBA playoffs. After a look at the Mets' win, the Yankees' loss to Texas, and a Pete Alonso homer, the hour wraps with Audacy's new LA sports station featuring Derek Fisher—and Gio wondering just how long the former coach will last in morning radio.

Jerry starts with the sounds of Jalen Brunson's big shot in the fourth. Mike Brown talked about the Sixers' adjustments in this game. Jerry went around the NBA playoffs last night. The Mets beat the Rockies as Marcus Semien had 4 hits including a HR. The Yankees lost to the Rangers as Nathan Eovaldi threw 8 innings of 3 hit ball. Jerry went around MLB last night including a HR for Pete Alonso.

Bryce Harper heads the stud list on today's First Cup Fantasy Baseball, joined by a surprisingly deep group that includes Liam Hicks, Pete Alonso, Wilyer Abreu, Josh Naylor, Raisel Iglesias, Peter Lambert, Rico Garcia, and Brayan Bello. Joe Bond runs through today's Trade Targets segment, flagging Fernando Tatis Jr. and Ketel Marte as buy-low names while flagging Justin Wrobleski and Max Muncy as potential sell candidates. On the duds side: Jarren Duran, Carter Jensen, Sal Stewart, Sandy Alcantara, Jacob deGrom, Elmer Rodriguez, Framber Valdez, Logan Webb, and Gavin Williams all get called out. Notable news to know: Carlos Correa was scratched with an ankle injury, Framber Valdez was tossed from Tuesday's game, Emilio Pagan was carted off the field, the Marlins designated Chris Paddack for assignment, the Padres placed Jake Cronenworth on the IL, and the Rockies agreed to a minor league deal with Jordan Romano. Joe's FanDuel Bet of the Day is Bryan Woo over 4.5 strikeouts at -146, with a bonus play on Padres/Giants over 9.5 runs at +140.
