Mendoza provided timelines for Jesse Winker and Starling Marte, confirmed Max Kranick will undergo Tommy John surgery, and commented on the roles of Ronny Mauricio and Francisco Alvarez. He also discussed lineup and rotation strategy, including Kodai Senga's scheduling and Sean Manaea's pitch count. Former manager Terry Collins then took questions reflecting on his time managing David Wright, sharing heartfelt stories about Wright's leadership, return from injury, and impact on the clubhouse, ahead of Wright's number retirement ceremony. Carlos Mendoza portion: 00:00 – “What does it mean to you as a manager to have a bona fide lefty that's established back there now?” 00:51 – “How close are Winker and Marte to returning?” 01:13 – “Winker… is there anything additional going on as far as his side?” 01:37 – “Is Raley just a full go? Are there any restrictions?” 02:15 – “Had you heard back about Max Kranick, whether he's getting Tommy John surgery?” 02:33 – “How much of a blow is this for him?” 03:10 – “Has [Ronny] Mauricio resumed running or baseball activity?” 03:31 – “You have Mauricio in the lineup against a lefty today. What have you seen from that side of the plate?” 04:03 – “What else do you guys want to see from Alvarez at Syracuse before he gets back here?” 05:08 – “What have you seen from [player in] the two-hole the last three, four games?” 05:47 – “What was the thinking behind pushing Senga back into the next series?” 06:22 – “So within that big picture, is it Manaea going Wednesday before the off day?” 06:53 – “On a personal level, how much are you looking forward to tomorrow with the David Wright ceremony?” 07:17 – “Will Manaea and others start to lengthen out their pitch counts over the next few starts?” Terry Collins portion: 08:25 – “When you think back on your time managing, if you could point to one thing that sticks out, what would that be?” 09:19 – “Was there ever a time you were mad at him or upset with him?” 11:03 – “Where do you feel David Wright made his biggest impact in the clubhouse?” 12:30 – “Can you reflect on the emotions you felt when David hit that home run in Philadelphia after his return?” 13:33 – “What was the World Series run like with him? How important was it to have him along for that?” 14:25 – “What was it about him that players gravitated to so much?” 15:22 – “What was it like meeting him for the first time, and the genesis of him becoming captain?” Learn more about your ad choices.

The Royals walked-off the Mets but Sean Manaea made his 2025 debut and the Mets rotation is healthy for the first time all season. The Yankees also lost their first half finale. Did Emmanuel Berbari troll the guys or laugh with them by leaning into his Stanton home run call?

Boomer and Gio discuss Joe Burrow, boring QBs, and guard dogs. Gio struggles with a complicated safe and feels pressure defending his golf title. They revisit a viral golf fight and an overnight caller who fooled Joe Benigno. The Royals walked-off the Mets, but Sean Manaea debuted, and the Mets' rotation is healthy. The Yankees lost their first half finale, and they question Emmanuel Berbari's home run call. A caller's friend contracted Hantavirus from licking golf balls. Later, they discuss distracting guard dogs and Gio's stagnant golf game, and Joe B is surprised by international calls.

Al's vacation meltdown raises questions about future travel. The Mets' loss to Kansas City, the impact of the Rafael Devers trade, and draft picks are also discussed.

Sports updates covered the Mets' healthy rotation despite a loss, the Yankees' first-half finale loss, and Emmanuel Berbari's home run call. The hour ended with guard dog distractions and Gio's golf game. Hour 3 Gio's July 4th fishing trip went awry, nearly costing him his wedding ring. A caller found Gio's TV doppelganger. Chris Gotterup, Scottish Open winner, is a local but doesn't resemble Gio. A golf tee story led to an ear amputation. Jerry returns with an update; Boomer gets a Happy Gilmore golf club. Willie Colon seemingly called Gio a liar, but Gio had receipts. Gio is annoyed Evan is recording Rico Brogna podcasts from Europe and wasn't impressed by Michaelangelo's David. Sean Manaea pitched well, but the Mets lost to the Royals. The Cubs beat the Yankees. Max Fried is unconcerned about his blister. The guys marvel at the Backstreet Boys' Sphere concert opening. Gio likes Hoodie Allen's "Pretty Face," which samples Jesse McCartney, and played a clip for Boomer.

Jerry delivers his final update, including NBA news. The Yankees and Mets lost before the All-Star break. The Moment of the Day: Fact or Fiction and Joe Benigno's gullibility. In the final segment, Gio informs Boomer about LeBron rumors, his future with the Lakers, a possible return to Cleveland, and his decision to opt-in for maximum money. Tom Brady's PR team reportedly deemed Sofia Vergara too old for him.

Austin Riley was placed on the IL with an abdominal strain. Brandon Lowe went on the IL with an oblique injury. Who are the top replacements for those two? Also, Sean Manaea made his return and Chase Burns had the best start of his young career.

Hour 1 - Boomer & Gio are out this week, so Jerry Recco and Willie Colon hosted, starting with the Subway Series, where the Mets nearly beat the Yanks if not for Cody Bellinger's incredible catch. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was tossed arguing bad strike calls, and Pete Alonso is skipping the HR Derby. Juan Soto's All-Star snub was also a topic. C-Lo gave his first update, including Dave Sims' call of the Bellinger catch, as the Yankees snapped a six-game losing streak. Evan Roberts is vacationing in Paris, posting Mets win videos and a Rico Brogna podcast. Al is off to Montana with no plans, and Jerry discovered professional pillow fighting. The hour concluded by discussing Aaron Boone and the Yankees' struggles, suggesting they won't run away with the AL East. Hour 2 - A caller to Sal Licata blamed WFAN and the media for players struggling in New York, citing their success after leaving. Willie Colon shared his own experiences with media criticism during his time with the Jets and in Pittsburgh. C-Lo then delivered an update, highlighting the Yankees' win over the Mets, including another Aaron Judge home run and Cody Bellinger's impressive catch and double play. There was also a segment on Anthony Volpe's father confronting fans in the stands who were criticizing his son, with audio of Sal's exchange with the caller on player criticism. The hour concluded with a caller mentioning Montana's attractions, specifically that you can drive to North and South Dakota from there. Hour 3 - The show continued its discussion on player criticism, especially for high-salaried athletes, balancing expectations with the reality of performance. Upcoming Jets and Giants seasons, with Aaron Rodgers' Week 1 return to MetLife, were also reviewed. C-Lo delivered an update, but not before Jerry and a caller had a brief argument. Evan Roberts recorded a "Rico Brogna" podcast from Paris while scoring a game at the airport, and Pete Alonso will be in the All-Star game but not the HR Derby. The hour ended with Jerry introducing a guessing game about an X post and a conversation with the new intern. Hour 4 - The show covered Starling Marte's injury and the Mets' anticipated return of Sean Manaea and Kodai Senga, while Jerry noted a lack of buzz for the Subway Series. The Knicks still haven't held a press conference for new head coach Mike Brown. A humorous discussion ensued about social norms regarding public attire. C-Lo's final update focused on the Yankees' win over the Mets, featuring Cody Bellinger's excellent defense. Other topics included Keith Hernandez's recent success with a plunger, Joe Benigno's seemingly too-early 5 AM Saturday show, and "The Moment of The Day" highlighting Al's unplanned Montana trip. The segment concluded with Jerry feeling "fleeced."

We talked about the Mets and Yankees and Starling Marte getting injured while seemingly taking a pitch. The Mets should have Sean Manaea and Kodai Senga back before the all star break for one start each. Jerry didn't feel any buzz from this Subway Series. The Knicks still have not had a press conference for new head coach Mike Brown. We talked about women taking down their shorts at the beach, but how that would be unacceptable at a Target. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Yankees beating the Mets. Cody Bellinger had a tremendous catch and then doubled up Lindor at first. Last Thursday, Keith Hernandez told us he recently needed to use a plunger and it worked out great. Joe Benigno's Saturday show now starts at 5am and it appears to be too early for him. The Moment of The Day: Al is going to Montana but has nothing planned. In the final segment of the show, Jerry feels like he may have gotten fleeced.

The Mets are dragging everybody back in following two series wins vs the Brewers & Yankees after a horrific June and somehow sit just 1.5 games out of 1st in the NL East. Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso & Edwin Diaz are headed to the All Star Game, Sean Manaea & Kodai Senga set to return (Thank God), Mark Vientos & Tyrone Taylor are automatic outs and the Mets have interest in Pittsburgh's Mitch Keller.

Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe are running the show tonight while Farace is out… getting his hair done. Yep, even bald guys need “me time,” and rumor has it he's spending three hours at the salon debating gel vs. mousse.Meanwhile, the Mets are feeling the heat—some of it good, most of it not so much. Juan Soto is on another planet right now: 10 home runs and 18 RBI in June and absolutely torching baseballs like he's got a personal vendetta. But outside of Soto and a few sparks, the offense has hit the snooze button lately, struggling to get anything going with runners in scoring position.On the mound, the pitching staff has had its ups and downs. Sean Manaea is temporarily shut down with an elbow issue after getting a cortisone shot, while Frankie Montas gave fans something to smile about with a sharp Mets debut—five scoreless innings and nine punchouts.The guys will break down the team's recent slide, what's been going wrong, and how the upcoming All-Star break could give this banged-up squad a much-needed reset. Is it just a midseason blip or something more concerning?Expect the usual chaos: Rodriguez throwing shade like it's his job, Keith defending his latest Lindor glove take, and Producer Joe randomly bringing up something that will derail the show.It's a rollercoaster season, but the ride's not over yet. Let's put it in the books.

BT and Sal delve into the latest baseball headlines, starting with Mets pitcher Sean Manaea's elbow injury. Manaea, nearing his return from an oblique strain, experienced discomfort, revealing "loose bodies" in his elbow, though doctors don't anticipate a major setback after a cortisone shot. The discussion then shifts to the fiery ejection of Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. from a game against the Reds, where his prolonged argument with the umpire over a strike call led to him being tossed, prompting debate about his professionalism and the Yankees' struggles

The Mets are looking to pull off a split against the Braves and ahead of the final game of the series Carlos Mendoza sat down with Keith Raad to discuss the good feelings coming off of last night's victory and how they will try to sustain them along with giving an update on Mark Vientos and Sean Manaea.

The New York sports scene saw mixed results, with the Mets and Yankees both suffering losses. Jazz Chisholm's hitless night followed his public spat, while Francisco Lindor's defensive errors plagued the Mets. Conversely, the Knicks defeated the struggling Sixers, prompting optimism despite Gio's assessment of their "bored" regular season play. Kodai Senga's strong pitching was a bright spot for the Mets, though Sean Manaea's setback was noted. Elsewhere, the Dodgers maintained their undefeated streak against the winless Braves. NFL news included Roger Goodell's concerns over the "tush push," Steelers' hints about Aaron Rodgers, and Jerry Jones's contract talks with Micah Parsons. In the NBA, Nikola Jokic and Steph Curry delivered spectacular scoring performances. The hour concluded with a humorous recollection of Boomer's accidental call to Brodie Van Wagenen and reflections on his Mets tenure.

Jerry starts with the sounds of the Yankees losing to the D-Backs thanks to a grand slam given up by Mark Leiter Jr. We heard one of Lindor's 2 errors and that led to 2 runs. Lindor felt bad after the game. Carlos Mendoza told us about the setback for Sean Manaea. The Dodgers beat the Braves, so the Dodgers remain undefeated and the Braves remain winless. Roger Goodell talked about the tush push and the risk involved.
