Puerto Rico vs. Dominican Republic is coming to Citi Field, and Carlos Delgado is taking it seriously. Delgado joins Jay Horwitz to break down why this matchup is so much more than a game — the energy, the culture, the bragging rights — and why once first pitch hits, everyone's playing to win. He talks about teaming up with Carlos Beltrán on the bench, Mets bullpen coach José Rosado, and why he's managing Puerto Rico like it's the World Baseball Classic. Delgado also opens up on 25 years of his Extra Bases Foundation, rebuilding Puerto Rico after hurricanes, mentoring the next generation of players, and what it means to still hold the PR home run record. Oh — and he tells the story behind that 9-RBI night at Yankee Stadium.
On this playoff bonus episode of Deep Left Field, we go over the Blue Jays' blowout of the New York Yankees in Game 1 of their ALDS on Saturday, the Jays' first post-season win in nine years and one that snapped a seven-game playoff losing streak. Many demons were slayed, especially by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who doubled his career playoff hit total and tripled his career playoff RBI total in a game that also included his first-ever post-season home run. Also, we open up the mailbag to talk playoff roster, pitching rotation, the crowd, the vibes, the white-panel hats and more!
Scipio Spinks rose from junior college ball in Chicago to the Major Leagues with Houston and St. Louis. He pitched 5 seasons before injuries derailed his promising career. Spinks talks about his pitching in the late 60s and early 70s, the wind at Candlestick, the heat at Busch and hitting his one and only home run as a big leaguer. Today, Spinks resides in Houston where he is head coach for the University of Houston-Downtown Gator collegiate club baseball team. Spinks has coached the Gators to the NCBA World Series in Alton, Illinois twice.Episodes Featured: 133 - We Weren't Rained Out, We Were Rained In w/ Roger MetzgerErrata: Stu Miller was the pitcher blown off the mound in the 1961 All-Star Game at Candlestick ...

Sal and BT were ecstatic over Anthony Volpe's stellar performance in the Yankees' recent series win, noting that the young shortstop chose an absolutely crucial time to play his best baseball. They highlighted his "big picture" contributions, particularly a key double play and an RBI hit, which helped the Yankees win without relying solely on their power hitting. For a player who has faced criticism for inconsistent play, Volpe's clutch hitting and clean defense in the high-pressure environment of the postseason were praised as an encouraging sign of balance and accountability for the entire team.
The Yankees survive and advance! In this Wild Card Game 3 recap, Chris, AJ, and the Podcast Padre celebrate a 4–0 shutout over the Boston Red Sox, powered by rookie sensation Cam Schlittler's historic postseason performance. Schlittler became the only pitcher in MLB history to throw 8+ innings with 12 strikeouts, no walks, and no runs allowed in a playoff start.From Rosario's clutch RBI to McMahon's jaw-dropping defensive play, the guys break down every moment that fueled the victory. They also highlight Wells' steady at-bats, Volpe's resurgence, and Stanton's looming “Stan-tober” breakout. Plus, fan favorite Kellen calls in with his take on the win, and the crew looks ahead to the ALDS against the Blue Jays, where pitching matchups and lineup decisions will be under the microscope.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
NOTICE: This weekly show is now part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, MidwestSportsPlus.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out! So far in this young football season, the Jackrabbits, Coyotes, and Vikings offenses — to varying degrees — continue to struggle to explode for big plays and satisfying full-game performances. At times, they implode. In the Yotes and Vikings cases, for full games.Gee, if only there was a local team to watch right now, in-person!, that has provided fireworks all season long, including a so-far spectacular postseason. Oh, wait, there is, and you don't even have to drive one to four hours to see them.The Sioux Falls Canaries — highest-scoring, most home run-hitting in their league by far — are three wins away from their first American Association championship in 17 years and only their second league title in the 33-year modern inception of the club. So far, they've averaged 10 runs in their five playoff wins, including victories of 7-2 and 11-2 in their two series-clinching win-or-go-home games, propelled by the Birds' best-ever player and league's all-time career home run king Jabari Henry's five total dingers in those two deciding games (three blasts to eliminate league leader Sioux City in the first round on the road, then a pair of homers including a grand slam and 8 RBI in The Birdcage to knock out Fargo-Moorhead). So, before Happy Hour host John Gaskins and Sioux Falls Live sports editor Matt Zimmer break down the bummer offenses — to varying degrees! — of this region's three most popular football teams, they celebrate the culmination of what has been a 15-year climb up a Mt. Everest of rocky obstacles for the Canaries — once the league's worst and near-lowest-budget squad — just to return to the league finals.Then, it's pick-apart time for 3-0 SDSU, 1-2 USD, and the 1-1 Vikings, their offenses, and their quarterbacks Chase Mason, Aidan Bouman, and J.J. McCarthy. How much of the team's struggles have been the field generals' faults, and where do we see things headed?Is it unfair for Jacks fans to be unsettled if not complaining about "only" 37 points and "only" a 16-point win over a non-scholarship team? Is it five-alarm fire time for USD after narrowly escaping Northern Colorado and an 0-3 start?What do we make of both the seven quarters of bumbling of young J.J. McCarthy (save from the amazing fourth quarter in Chicago, which counts for a lot) and the ankle injury that has sidelined him against Cincinnati, which gives journeyman and NDSU legend Carson Wentz his latest and maybe last-ever shot to return to his once-Pro Bowl form?John and Matt answer these questions, then toast the Sanford International and its latest winner Retief Goosen. Finally, rumination on why the once-massive Sunday crowds have fizzled a bit in the eight-year-old event that shares crown jewel status in Sioux Falls with the Summit League Tournament.
Off The Bench is back weekdays from 10a to 11a followed by The Stone Shields Show from 11a to noon! In a heart-wrenching conclusion to their improbable 2025 season, the Cincinnati Reds fell 8-4 to the Los Angeles Dodgers on October 1 at Dodger Stadium, swept out of the MLB playoffs in the National League Wild Card Series. The loss capped a valiant but ultimately futile effort from a young Reds squad that defied 83-79 odds to snag a postseason berth, only to collide with the juggernaut defending champions. The game mirrored the series' narrative: Cincinnati's flashes of brilliance smothered by L.A.'s relentless firepower. Reds starter Zack Littell kept it close early, allowing just two runs through five innings. But the Dodgers' offense—fueled by 13 hits and opportunistic small ball—erupted in the sixth, plating four runs to seize a 6-2 lead. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Japanese ace, was masterful for L.A., fanning nine in 6.2 innings while navigating a bases-loaded jam in the sixth that could have swung momentum. Cincinnati's fightback was fierce. They grabbed a 2-0 first-inning lead on Sal Stewart's two-run RBI single that eluded Freddie Freeman's glove— their first postseason advantage since 2012. Elly De La Cruz dazzled with his trademark speed, legging out infield hits and swiping bags, while Matt McLain's diving stops kept hope alive. Late rallies narrowed the gap, loading the bases in the eighth, but the bullpen faltered, and Jack Dreyer's escapes sealed the deal. For the Reds, it's a bitter pill. This roster, blending raw talent like De La Cruz and Greene with veterans like Stephenson, showed October mettle. Yet, against the Dodgers' star-studded lineup—Ohtani's clutch RBI, Betts' timely double—the gap was exposed. As L.A. advances to face the Phillies, Cincinnati heads to the drawing board, rebuilding around its dynamic core. The future burns bright, but tonight, the sting of elimination lingers. Onward to 2026. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap). Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Exercise (Rock). #Reds #Bengals #RedsPostseason

Boomer & Gio stayed upbeat about the Yanks despite Wild Card jitters, with Boomer harping on the little things like Judge's bad arm. Jerry's update featured a Yankees hype video jabbing the Mets, Bregman's RBI, and Joe Benigno ripping Stearns, Mullins, and Sauce. Jerry Jones was “up like Dracula,” and talk closed on Tyreek Hill maybe being happy to sit, cash checks, and eye a new team.
Frank Thomas looked more like an NFL Tight=End, looking to create space in the end zone to receive a touchdown, than he did a baseball player. But in many ways, the 6'5" 275 pound icon was ostensibly a contact hitter trapped inside of a slugger's body, with a judicious knowledge of the strike zone and quick hand-eye coordination. He was a dog on the hunt, looking to inflict pain on opposing teams, thus earning the well deserved moniker; The Big Hurt. Even in the context of playing in one of the greatest offensive eras in the game's history, Frank's raw production is staggering, From 1991 to 1997, he strung together seven consecutive seasons with 20 home runs. 100 or more walks, 100 or more RBI and a .300 average, No player before or since has equalled the feat. He is the all-time White Sox leader in home runs, doubles, walks, OBP and SLUG. Thomas would achieve these benchmarks through hard work, persistence, and never taking anything for granted. This week we do a deep archaeological dig into the baseball path laid down by the man. #FrankThomas #TheBigHurt #ColumbusGeorgia #BobbyHoward #AuburnUniversity #HalBaird #PatDye #WaltHriniak #BoJackson #OaklandAthletics #TorontoBlueJays #JeffTorborg #PamelaThomas
Send us a textWithin a day of the end of the Minnesota Twins' season, manager Rocco Baldelli was fired and two articles were published about the Pohlad family. Somewhat surprised by both, David, Dan and Hoges recap each development. They are puzzled by the timing of the firing, even if it seems merited. They also offer up one former Twins player as a replacement candidate, though they'd prefer someone with a firmer approach than Baldelli's. And, as they generally agree: The recent stories about the Pohlads only add to the narrative that the family is not in it to win it. All three also offer their predictions for the 2025 postseason, with Dan following his heart, David following his head, and Hoges following something in between.

Off The Bench is back weekdays from 10a to 11a followed by The Stone Shields Show from 11a to noon! In a stunning display of postseason firepower, the Cincinnati Reds' long-awaited return to October ended abruptly with a 10-5 thrashing by the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series on September 30 at Dodger Stadium. For the Reds, who clawed their way into the playoffs for the first time since 2020, the night served as a harsh reminder of the chasm between scrappy upstarts and a loaded powerhouse. A raucous crowd of 50,555 watched as L.A. unleashed five home runs, turning ace Hunter Greene's start into a nightmare. Greene, the Reds' flame-throwing righty and a lifelong Dodgers fan, entered with sky-high expectations. But the Dodgers pounced immediately. Facing a 100.4 mph fastball, Shohei Ohtani crushed a 117.7 mph line drive for a solo homer to right, igniting the fuse. Mookie Betts singled, and the floodgates opened: Teoscar Hernández blasted a three-run shot, followed by homers from Will Smith and Max Muncy. Greene's line was brutal—five runs, three homers, six hits over four innings on 65 pitches. "He didn't locate, and when he didn't, he paid a price," lamented manager Terry Francona. The Dodgers' onslaught continued behind Blake Snell's masterful seven innings, fanning nine while allowing just two runs. Ohtani added a 454-foot two-run bomb off reliever Connor Phillips in the sixth, his second of the night, as L.A. built a 10-2 cushion by the seventh. The Dodgers became only the fifth team with two multi-homer players in a playoff game, per MLB stats. Cincinnati flickered late, capitalizing on a Dodgers bullpen wobble in the eighth. Relievers Alex Vesia, Edgardo Henriquez, and Jack Dreyer issued four walks, allowing the Reds to bat around and plate three runs via a Spencer Steer single and forced errors. Elly De La Cruz's RBI groundout and Tyler Stephenson's double offered brief hope, but it was too little, too late. The Reds stranded seven runners, their offense mustering seven hits but zero long balls. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

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

Off The Bench is back weekdays from 10a to 11a followed by The Stone Shields Show from 11a to noon! Under the glaring lights of Great American Ball Park, the Cincinnati Reds' playoff dreams flickered and faded in the cruel twilight of extra innings. On September 24, 2025, a fired-up crowd of 30,725 watched in stunned silence as the Pittsburgh Pirates snatched a 4-3 victory in the 11th, delivering a dagger to Cincinnati's NL wild-card hopes. Tied with Arizona and just one game behind the Mets entering the night, the Reds now stare at a precarious half-game deficit with only five contests left—a loss that feels like the backbreaker in a season of tantalizing what-ifs. The evening began as a pitcher's duel for the ages, pitting Reds ace Hunter Greene against Pirates phenom Paul Skenes, the NL Cy Young frontrunner. Greene, battling for his 8th win, scattered five hits over six innings, allowing two earned runs while fanning seven. But Skenes was untouchable, surrendering just four hits in six scoreless frames, whiffing seven and etching his name in franchise lore with his 211th strikeout—a Pirates record for a righty. Pittsburgh scratched out a 2-0 lead in the second on Bryan Reynolds' RBI single and Oneil Cruz's sacrifice fly, quieting the home faithful. Hope ignited in the eighth. Down 2-0, Noelvi Marte unleashed chaos with his first career inside-the-park homer, a liner off the wall that caromed wildly into left-center, allowing him to circle the bases untouched. The GABP erupted. Then, in the ninth, Tyler Stephenson crushed a solo shot off closer Dennis Santana, knotting it at 2-2 and forcing extras. "Stephenson's blast was pure adrenaline," Reds manager Terry Francona said postgame. "We had momentum." But baseball's heartless script twisted in the 10th. Jack Suwinski's RBI double plated the go-ahead run for a 3-2 Pirates edge. The Reds clawed back on Gavin Lux's sacrifice fly, tying it once more at 3-3. Agony peaked in the 11th: Spencer Horwitz's leadoff double scored Reynolds—his third run of the night—for a 4-3 lead. Cincinnati loaded the bases with two outs, hearts pounding, only for Marte to ground into a momentum-crushing force out against Yohan Ramirez. Final out. Ballgame over.

Highlights: The Guardians were down 15.5 games in July and 12.5 games in late August but are now on the verge of overtaking the Tigers. How have they done this? Terry noted the Tigers' collapse could be historic, while the Guardians risk losing momentum at the finish line. Terry contends the Guardians' defensive improvement coincided with Brayan Rocchio moving to second base and Gabriel Arias to shortstop. José Ramírez rebounded from a rough April and is back to playing B+/A- level defense Bo Naylor's September surge (.306 AVG, 3 HR, 14 RBI in 14 games) has been a game-changer. Terry speculated Naylor may have finally found the right adjustments after years of tinkering. Listener Max emailed about the Guardians' momentum, arguing that being red-hot matters more than being the best team on paper, and how far could they go in the playoffs? The Browns' defense is elite, ranking #1 in yards allowed and #2 in yards per play allowed. The offense is middle-of-the-pack in yards and yards per play, suggesting it's not as bad as perceived. The Browns' tackle situation is dire, with Dawand Jones out for the season and Jack Conklin injured. Should the Browns use Adin Huntington as a blocking tight end to help protect Joe Flacco? Quinshon Judkins could see more snaps due to his blocking ability and versatility. Is it time to move field goal kickers back to 9-10 yards to reduce blocks? Terry loves the idea. The Cavs' Kenny Atkinson and Koby Altman previewed the season, and Terry last the latest, including on the injuries to Max Strus and Darius Garland. Garland's injury is likely turf toe, with a return timeline of 10–20 games. Atkinson praised rookie Jaylon Tyson's intensity and potential impact. The Cavs have won the third-most games in the NBA over the last three years, behind only Boston and OKC. Their core four (Mobley, Allen, Garland, Mitchell) are all under multi-year contracts and entering their prime. Atkinson wants to unlock more of Evan Mobley's ball-handling ability to counter pressure defenses. Seven of the 15 players on the roster were second-round picks or undrafted. Why that matters.

And does that differ slightly on age, like willing to keep someone who is a lot younger or not so much older?i.Context: I am in a 12 team Dynasty league with normal roster positions, with a 15 person minor league roster in CBS. I find myself sometimes keeping too many players so I really only change over 1 or 2 on the active roster, then struggle to figure out who to cut when a prospect gets called up and wonder if I should cut more people out the gate to take some risks, to be willing to cut them for prospects.4.What one or two hitters are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?5.What one or two pitchers are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?

Hoges joins Dan to discuss the set from Target Field, and Hoges expresses lots of feelings about his trip to Game 2. He also gripes about the frustrating way the Twins have been handling season ticket holders the last month or so as he grapples with whether he should re-up for next season.

Welcome to Episode 104 of Tablesetters. Devin and Steve are back to capture the drama, joy, and heartbreak of a September week that revealed everything we love and fear about baseball. In Los Angeles, the Phillies turned fatigue into fuel, clinching their second straight NL East crown in a game that began after a sleepless night of travel and ended in extra innings with Bryce Harper's fist-pumping eighth-inning home run and J.T. Realmuto's sacrifice fly. When the champagne popped, it wasn't just about celebration — it was about perspective. Garrett Stubbs made sure Harper could join the party with apple juice, and Harrison Bader's mantra rang through the room: “What a gift.” For a club that has known nothing but heartbreak since 2022, that phrase has become the soul of the team: gratitude, joy, and belief that this year can be different. Contrast that spirit with the Bronx, where Anthony Volpe has been grinding through a partially torn labrum since May, hitting just .197 with his defense slipping. Brian Cashman insists this is merely a “tough stretch,” but José Caballero's hot bat and steady glove have complicated the conversation. Caballero is hitting .314 since mid-August, and his emergence is forcing Aaron Boone to consider whether loyalty to Volpe is holding the team back. North of the border, the Blue Jays found a new reason to believe. Trey Yesavage, their top prospect, debuted with nine strikeouts in five innings, a franchise record, his splitter producing an absurd 11 whiffs on 14 swings. His 19 total whiffs put him in Kevin Gausman territory, and for a team already leading the AL East, his arrival feels less like the future and more like a weapon for right now. Toronto hasn't won a World Series since 1993, but Yesavage's debut makes that drought feel vulnerable. The Giants are also leaning into youth, promoting Bryce Eldridge, a 20-year-old, 6-foot-7 slugger ranked the No. 15 prospect in baseball. With 25 homers across Double-A and Triple-A and elite exit velocity numbers, Eldridge is being thrown straight into the fire of a Wild Card chase, where San Francisco sits just 1 ½ games back. With their first basemen producing a meager .614 OPS, Eldridge isn't just a curiosity — he's an immediate solution. In Detroit, fear gave way to relief when Tarik Skubal, the frontrunner for the AL Cy Young, exited his last start with side tightness. Initial panic subsided after imaging revealed no structural damage, and he's slated to pitch Thursday against Cleveland. His numbers speak to his dominance: 13–5, 2.26 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 224 strikeouts in 185 innings. In a franchise that hasn't seen an ace like this since Hal Newhouser, Skubal is the difference between a quick October exit and a run that could echo through history. Out in Arizona, the Diamondbacks are embracing the stars — literally. Blaze Alexander's joke about undergoing a “horoscope” on his bruised elbow became a clubhouse rallying cry, and suddenly the D-backs are aligning at the right moment. Zac Gallen notched his 1,000th career strikeout, joining Randy Johnson and Brandon Webb, while a six-run sixth inning powered them to an 8–1 win over San Francisco. With Jordan Lawlar's RBI double, Geraldo Perdomo's five times on base, and James McCann's homer, Arizona is playing like a team that refuses to fade. In Milwaukee, the Brewers clinched their own ticket to October in a celebration filled with laughter and tenderness. After the fireworks and walk-off, manager Pat Murphy read aloud a letter he pretended came from the late Bob Uecker. Players laughed at the imagined line about being God's “third catcher,” but the tribute brought misty eyes too. Christian Yelich captured the moment perfectly: enjoy it, but don't forget — the job isn't done. And then there's Juan Soto, whose brilliance continues to collide with the Mets' collapse. His 40th home run put him in Barry Bonds and Jeff Bagwell's company with a 40–30–100 season, the first of its kind in Mets history. He is the ninth player to hit 40 for different teams in consecutive years, joining legends like Griffey, A-Rod, and Ohtani. Yet while Soto shines, the Mets stumble, 21–30 in the second half, their Wild Card lead slipping away. His season is a masterpiece, but without October, it may be remembered as a monument to wasted potential. From Philadelphia's “what a gift” mantra to Soto's historic swing in Queens, from rookies Yesavage and Eldridge redefining futures to Skubal and Gallen reminding us of aces past and present, Episode 104 is the story of September baseball. It's belief, heartbreak, and joy — colliding night after night as October looms. Follow us on Instagram and X @TablesettersPod, and join us as we set the table for another unforgettable week in the game we love.
Send us a textWith David on a scheduled off day and Hoges dealing with technical issues, Dan tries his best to speak out of both sides of his mouth as he dissects the Minnesota Twins' three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Target Field. Dan wonders whether Kody Clemens might be the answer at first base in 2026 and looks also at the play from the other Kody/Cody in this series. He's curious about Carson McCusker's usage (or lack thereof) and isn't so sure that this team is going to be -- or shouldn't be -- torn down further heading into next season.

Aaron Glenn talked about the discipline issues they had. Brian Daboll talked about the tough loss in Washington. We heard Daniel Jones throwing a beautiful pass for a TD as they had no problem with Miami. Mike McDaniel talked about what went wrong. The Ravens blew a big lead in the fourth quarter and lost to the Bills. Green Bay had no problem beating the Lions.

If the Giants don't win this week in Dallas, this has the makings of a 3-win season. They have the Chiefs and Chargers after that. A caller calls Andrew Thomas a ‘mutt' for not playing hurt. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Steelers beating the Jets with a 60 yard FG. Mike Tomlin described him as wanting to ‘bang from deep'. We heard the sounds of the Commanders having no problem with the Giants as they scored only 6 points. Malik Nabers talked about his spat with Daboll on the sideline. Russell Wilson was asked about the supposed package of plays for Jaxson Dart. Daniel Jones had a great day as the Colts beat the Dolphins. Buffalo scored 16 unanswered points to come back in the fourth quarter to beat the Ravens. Jerry went around the NFL. The Yankees took their series from the Blue Jays while the Mets lost theirs to the Reds. In the final segment of the hour, a fan shoved DeAndre Hopkins so Lamar Jackson shoved him back.

And it was Aaron Rodgers, no less, coming in and throwing 4 TDs. The Jets were the better team for all 4 quarters, but as Aaron Glenn said, there are no moral victories. And the stadium was full of Steelers fans. The Giants on the other hand looked like they have the last four years, not good. A caller said he felt out of place at MetLife as a Jets fan. Gio can't believe people still like to go to games. With the Giants, once again, we are watching the same thing we've been seeing year after year. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Jets loss against the Steelers. Aaron Glenn talked about the fumble and said players won't remain on the team if they have costly turnovers. Boomer liked Glenn's postgame press conference. Xavier Gipson talked about his costly fumble. Aaron Rodgers was asked about beating Glenn since he didn't want him any more. We heard Brandon Tierney's ‘Unkillable' podcast reaction after the Jets loss. We heard from Tommy Lugauer and Shaun Morash who both want Jaxson Dart to start. The Bills came back in the fourth quarter to beat the Ravens as Derrick Henry had a costly fumble. Lamar Jackson talked about his physical contact with a fan. The Yankees beat the Blue Jays and took the series. The Mets lost to the Reds and lost the series. In the final segment of the hour, a car somehow jumped both the eastbound and westbound lanes of Sunrise highway. The driver was having a ...
Today's word of the day is ‘flabbergasted' as in Jerry Jones as in Micah Parsons as in Dallas Cowboys as in the Green Bay Packers. Micah Parsons has been traded. Wow. Are you shocked? This fight was something serious in the end. And Jerry believed the Cowboys could not come to any sort of resolution to keep Micah in Dallas. Did the Cowboys get enough back? Did they make a mistake? Is the future brighter in Dallas or Green Bay or both? (23:00) How are the Red Sox doing without Rafael Devers? DO you believe in Craig Breslow now? The Red Sox are rolling!
