Monday Full Show: Stanton’s Yankees End, Lombard’s Cooperstown Hype, Dart’s Blue Tent Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

Giancarlo Stanton’s latest calf injury could end both his season and his Yankees career. The debate turns to whether New York should finally move on from Stanton, how his remarkable October availability shapes his legacy, and why injuries to Ryan Weathers and Max Fried reinforce the idea that the Yankees can never have enough pitching. George Lombard Jr. then becomes one of the day’s hottest arguments after a shaky defensive weekend. Shaun Morash doubles down on his belief that Lombard should eventually be among baseball’s elite shortstops and reach the Hall of Fame conversation, setting off callers and plenty of pushback. The Giants also take center stage as Jaxson Dart’s repeated trips to the blue medical tent become both a running joke and a legitimate concern heading toward the regular season. The show also hits Tarik Skubal’s Dodgers future, the Jets’ preseason flashes, Deshaun Watson and Cleveland’s dysfunction, and the tightening AL East race.

Hour 1: Giancarlo Stanton’s Yankees Career May Be Over Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

Giancarlo Stanton may have played his final game for the Yankees. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash react to Stanton’s latest calf injury, why his remarkable October history makes this setback different, and whether New York should finally move on this offseason. Ryan Weathers’ elbow injury also reignites the debate over the Yankees’ pitching depth and proves why Evan believes a contender can never have enough starting pitching. Then George Lombard Jr.’s rough defensive weekend turns into a heated argument over expectations for the Yankees’ young shortstop. Shaun puts Lombard on a path toward becoming one of baseball’s elite at the position, callers push back hard on the early Hall of Fame talk, and the debate quickly goes off the rails.

Hour 2: Dodgers Are Driving Tarik Skubal Into the Ground Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

The Dodgers’ handling of Tarik Skubal has Evan Roberts convinced they have no intention of keeping the ace long term. After back-to-back starts featuring two of the highest pitch counts of Skubal’s career, Evan argues Los Angeles is riding him hard because they expect him to leave, opening the door for the Mets to become the obvious landing spot. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts and pushes back on just how certain that conclusion really is. The hour also turns into a heated Deshaun Watson debate after the Browns quarterback fires back at Cleveland fans for booing him. Evan calls the Browns more dysfunctional than the Jets, while Shaun argues the reaction is partly fueled by the fan obsession with Sanders. Plus, George Lombard Jr.’s Yankees future, Anthony Volpe’s role, Francisco Alvarez frustration, and a birthday-text feud with Tommy Lugauer.

Hour 3: Jaxson Dart Can’t Escape the Blue Tent Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

Jaxson Dart’s trips to the blue tent have become a full-blown Giants storyline, and Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash debate whether the quarterback is now under unfair scrutiny every time he takes a hard hit. They break down why Dart may need to pop right back up after contact, whether the Giants should be helping protect him from unnecessary evaluations, and why returning to the game helped kill the latest injury controversy. The Yankees have also dragged themselves back into the AL East race, forcing Evan to admit the division is no longer over with New York just three games back. Plus, the Giants’ improving secondary, Odell Beckham Jr.’s roster chances, Geno Smith’s Jets outlook, and the best quarterbacks to resurrect their careers with a new team.

Hour 4: Tyrone Tracy Could Be Buried on Giants Depth Chart Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

John Harbaugh’s message to Tyrone Tracy has Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash reading between the lines after two costly preseason mistakes. Harbaugh managed to defend Tracy while stressing the importance of his missed block and fumble, raising real questions about where Tracy stands in the Giants’ running back pecking order. Evan and Shaun debate whether Najee Harris could emerge as the lead back, while Tiki Barber’s earlier pick of Tracy creates a three-way split with Cam Skattebo also getting support. They also revisit Evan and Shaun’s legendary 2018 Jacob deGrom versus Luis Severino argument, react to Deshaun Watson’s apology to Browns fans, revisit the Jaxson Dart “Big Blue Tent” debate, and look at the Yankees’ tightening AL East race. Evan also explains why the WNBA’s latest culture-war controversy has turned him off from the league.

Giants Running Back Battle Sparks Wild Predictions Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

John Harbaugh’s comments on Tyrone Tracy reveal just how unsettled the Giants’ running back pecking order has become. After two costly preseason mistakes, Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash debate whether Tracy could be buried on the depth chart and what Najee Harris’ arrival means for his role. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts. The debate turns into three very different predictions for the Giants’ leading rusher, with Evan backing Najee Harris, Shaun choosing Cam Skattebo, and Tiki’s earlier pick of Tracy still hanging over the conversation. Plus, Evan revisits the hilarious 2018 Jacob deGrom versus Luis Severino argument that helped launch his relationship with Shaun.

Evan Admits the Yankees Are Far From Finished Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

The Yankees have dragged themselves right back into the AL East race, forcing Evan to admit his earlier declaration that the division was over no longer holds up. With New York just three games behind Tampa Bay, Evan still picks the Rays to win the East, but acknowledges the Yankees have made it a legitimate fight. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts. The conversation also turns to Geno Smith and quarterbacks who revived their careers with new teams, including Vinny Testaverde, Rich Gannon and Sam Darnold. Plus, the Jaxson Dart debate continues over whether the Giants quarterback is getting treated differently around the NFL.

Jaxson Dart Is Trapped by the Blue Tent Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

Jaxson Dart’s growing blue-tent reputation is creating a bizarre problem for the Giants. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash debate whether Dart is now being watched more closely because of last season, why taking a few extra seconds to get up could keep sending him for evaluations, and whether John Harbaugh deliberately put him back into a preseason game to shut down another injury controversy. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts. The Giants’ preseason also delivers reasons for optimism, including Deonte Banks looking improved and unexpected offensive-line depth. Plus, Odell Beckham Jr.’s dropped touchdown sparks a debate over whether he can still make the roster, while David Bailey’s early flashes give Jets fans something to get excited about.

Browns Dysfunction Makes the Jets Look Competent Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

Deshaun Watson’s response to being booed sends Evan Roberts off on the Browns, with Evan arguing Cleveland should have cut him and declaring the franchise even more dysfunctional than the Jets. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts and pushes back, arguing some of the boos are fueled by fans wanting Sanders at quarterback. The debate quickly turns into a heated argument over Watson’s performance, contract, and whether Cleveland should still be giving him another chance. The conversation also hits George Lombard Jr.’s huge expectations with the Yankees, Francisco Alvarez’s struggles with the Mets, Shaun’s absurd birthday-text feud with Tommy Lugauer, and Evan’s new “Big Blue Tent” nickname for Jaxson Dart after another trip to the medical tent.
