Shaun Morash Still Believes the Yankees Can Catch Tampa Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

The Yankees have crushed the Twins again, but a much bigger problem is staring them down in the American League race. Tampa Bay has finally jumped New York in the betting odds, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber believe the Yankees are running out of time. Shaun Morash still cannot let go, convinced a four-game sweep of the Rays could completely change the division race. The conversation then swings back to Pete Alonso and the Mets fans who celebrated his return. Evan defends fans for showing Alonso love in a lost season while insisting he personally wanted Kodai Senga to strike him out. The debate expands to Jacob deGrom, whether Mets fans would ever root for a former star against their own team, and why Alonso’s departure still feels different.

Sean Manaea Blasts Mets Fans Over Pete Alonso Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Sean Manaea calls the Citi Field reaction to Pete Alonso “crazy,” and Evan Roberts immediately unloads on the Mets pitcher for missing the entire point. Alonso was not just another opposing player, and Evan argues Manaea completely ignored what Pete still means to a fan base furious that the Mets let him leave. Kodai Senga offers the exact opposite perspective after surrendering Alonso’s 300th home run, saying the reaction showed how beloved Pete remains and how much he meant to the organization. Evan and Tiki also revisit Alonso’s departure, his decision to opt out, and why David Stearns still has plenty of ground to make up before anyone can declare the Mets were right to move on.

Pete Alonso’s Curtain Call Infuriates Evan Roberts Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Pete Alonso’s game-tying home run and curtain call at Citi Field sends Evan Roberts over the edge. Evan still loves Alonso, but argues that coming back out of the dugout was unnecessary and felt like one more chance to rub the Mets’ mistake in their faces. Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash strongly disagree, saying Mets fans were demanding the moment and Alonso was simply giving them the goodbye they wanted after hitting his 300th career home run. The argument gets personal as Shaun calls Evan’s anger misdirected, while Evan insists cheering Alonso is one thing and watching a former Met take a curtain call on the road is something else entirely.

Hour 1: Evan Roberts Explodes Over Mets Fans Being Lectured Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

Pete Alonso’s emotional return to Citi Field sends Evan Roberts over the edge. Evan unloads on anyone criticizing Mets fans for showering Alonso with love, insisting the fan base did nothing wrong after enduring a miserable season. His biggest target is Steve Cohen, who told Alonso that Citi Field would always be his home despite, according to Evan, never making him an offer to stay. Shaun Morash pushes back on how far Mets fans went, especially when Jonah Tong was pitching well and fans booed after he walked Alonso. Francisco Lindor’s postgame comments defending Tong add another layer to the debate, while callers clash over whether cheering Alonso crossed the line. The hour becomes a heated argument over loyalty, ownership, David Stearns, and what Mets fans are entitled to feel after a lost season.

Hour 2: Mets’ Alonso Disaster Is Haunting David Stearns Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

Pete Alonso’s return to Citi Field reignites the fury over David Stearns letting the homegrown slugger walk. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down why the Mets are undeniably worse without Alonso, why fans had every right to cheer him, and how Sandy Alderson’s defense of Pete dismantles the arguments behind the decision. With “Fire Stearns” chants ringing out, Evan says the Mets failed because they never came close to replacing their star. Plus, the Chiefs remind everyone how dangerous they can be with Patrick Mahomes and Kenneth Walker, the Giants face more questions about Tyrone Tracy after another fumble, and the Jets get encouraging injury news on Omar Cooper Jr. and Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Hour 3: Joe Benigno Rips Mets While Jets Hope Surges Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

Pete Alonso’s return sends Mets frustration boiling over as Joe Benigno unloads on David Stearns and Steve Cohen for letting the franchise star walk. Joe calls the decision one of the worst in Mets history, argues Alonso has outperformed Juan Soto, and says Andy Green deserves to remain manager after his work with the club’s young players. The mood is much brighter around the Jets after a dominant 23-10 win over Tennessee. Joe raves about Geno Smith, Breece Hall, the offensive line and the revamped defense while predicting the Jets can beat Green Bay and become much better than expected. Plus, Aaron Judge’s response to whether a pitcher should win MVP ignites a heated debate over Cam’s candidacy and whether pitchers should ever take home the award.

The conversation also touches on Mitchell Voit’s appearance and Gerrit Cole’s awkward post-game celebration.

Russell Wilson Crowns Robert Saleh the King of Culture Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

Russell Wilson stunned Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber by calling Robert Saleh the “king of culture,” prompting a brutal reaction to the former Jets coach’s new reputation. They question whether Wilson did any research before making the claim and wonder if he was simply trying to generate attention with an outrageous take. Wilson wasn’t finished. His declaration that Joe Burrow will be gone from Cincinnati if things go badly this season sparks another round of disbelief. Plus, the conversation shifts to Mets prospect Mitch Voit, a prediction that the Mets will pursue Tarik Skubal, Garrett Cole’s awkward Yankees celebration, and why Cam Schlittler has separated himself in the playoff rotation.
