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?

Thoughts?a.I suppose the White Sox didn't actually need him with all their talent.4.Sean Manaea was finally activated. He performed well last season, and his underlying data looked very strong. Thoughts?5.When I broke down PCA for our Patreon members a few weeks back, I told them that either PCA or Ceddanne Rafaela had to correct, as their baseballsavant pages looked almost identical. Rafeala has hit .400 in July with four home runs and two stolen bases. Thoughts?6.Brady House hit his first two home runs as a Major Leaguer on Saturday.7.Austin Riley hit the IL. Is it Nacho time in Atlanta?8.Jacob Misiorowski makes the All-Star Game.a.Your thoughts?Segments 3 and 4 – Waiver WireSegment 5 – Closer ReportClose

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.

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

Both the Yankees and Mets are hot, building excitement for potential September playoff pushes; the Yankees' post-Juan Soto additions are thriving, while Mets pitching is so strong a caller doesn't want Sean Manaea back from injury. Boomer expects the Braves to heat up but notes Phillies' injuries. In other news, Kyrie Irving defended Karl-Anthony Towns on Twitch, leading to a discussion about "code switching" and whether New Jersey is a "tiny" state. The Yankees beat the Royals with an Aaron Judge homer, and the Mets shut out the Nationals thanks to a David Peterson complete game and two Brandon Nimmo home runs, though Pete Alonso getting hit again angered Ron Darling.
Hour 1 The Mets and Yankees are on a roll, with David Peterson throwing a complete game for the Mets. Meanwhile, the Knicks' coaching search continues to flounder, with rejections from candidates like Jason Kidd and public criticism from Charles Barkley. Elsewhere, the U.S. Open starts today, the Pacers took a 2-1 series lead over the Thunder, and an anonymous player poll named Juan Soto the hitter pitchers least want to face in a World Series Game 7. Hour 2 Howard Stern believes sportscasters should normalize saying "penis" on air. In basketball, Kyrie Irving defended Karl-Anthony Towns from criticism as the Pacers surprisingly took a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals.

Jerry's final update included the Pacers' 2-1 lead over the Thunder, the Yankees' victory over the Royals (5 runs in the second), and the Mets' shutout of the Nationals, featuring a David Peterson complete game and homers from Juan Soto and Brandon Nimmo. Joe Flacco found it hard to believe adults use TikTok. The "Moment of The Day" was a funny caller interaction with Jerry, and Boomer is out tomorrow for a Maryland quarterback event.
The Yankees and Mets are both on a roll and it's going to get to a fever pitch if they are both making playoff runs in September. Everyone is getting activated and awake. The players the Yankees got after losing Juan Soto have worked out great so far. A caller loves how the Mets pitching staff is going so much, he doesn't want Sean Manaea to come back from injury.
Today's word of the day is ‘simulated' as in simulated games as in Shohei Ohtani as in pitching as in Dodgers as in rehab assignments as in bullpen sessions.

(17:30) Let's break down the rest of the Dodgers pitchers now, and some other big names in the league. Sean Manaea and Giancarlo Stanton had rehab assignments last night. (33:30) Review: Sinners. (38:00) The Phillies are not doing great right now. Injuries happen. But the bullpen isn't good. The team is struggling. (45:00) NPPOD. Learn more about your ad choices.

They also discuss Edwin Diaz's inconsistency and how to balance the return of Jeff McNeil and Francisco Alvarez. Later, the guys bring back “Tales from the Pitching Lab” to break down what adjustments have helped Tylor Megill, and then go Down on the Farm to check in on Marco Vargas after his promotion to Brooklyn. Finally, The Scoreboard sees a flip and the Mailbag gets opened to feature questions about a future GM under David Stearns, a former Met that would have benefited from the pitching lab, and the gameplan once Sean Manaea and Frankie Montas return.

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.
