Aaron Boone’s Grisham Decision Was a Fireable Offense | Evan & Tiki Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

Aaron Boone’s decision to lead off Trent Grisham has Evan Roberts furious after the Yankees’ season-ending loss. With Grisham struggling at the plate, Evan calls the lineup decision a “fireable offense” and argues the Yankees essentially lost the game before the first pitch by giving one of their worst hitters an extra plate appearance.

Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash join the debate over Grisham’s role, including the decision to let him keep hitting late in the game before he ultimately made the final out of the Yankees’ season. The frustration goes beyond one at-bat as the crew questions why Boone and the Yankees continue trusting struggling players in the biggest postseason moments.

Curtis Granderson Warns Yankees Pressure Can Break Players | Evan & Tiki Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

Curtis Granderson joins Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber with the Yankees facing elimination and explains why playing under New York pressure can weigh heavily on players. The former Yankee and Met says the Yankees need to loosen up, find a spark offensively and take their comeback one game at a time rather than thinking about winning three straight.

Granderson also breaks down the challenges of playing on Tampa’s turf, Aaron Judge’s difficult road back from a calf injury and whether the Yankees should consider getting Judge onto the postseason roster. Plus, Granderson settles a New York baseball debate from his own experience, revealing that Citi Field was louder than Yankee Stadium during his postseason runs.

Yankees Must Blow Up the Lineup Tonight | Evan & Tiki Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

The Yankees need a spark with their season on the line, and Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash agree Aaron Boone cannot simply run back the same lineup for Game 3 against the Rays. They debate sitting Jazz Chisholm, Ryan McMahon and Trent Grisham, while giving Anthony Volpe, Jose Caballero and Heliot Ramos a chance to change the series.

Then Evan takes the desperation to another level. With Aaron Judge off the roster, he argues the Yankees should find a way to create an opening and get their superstar back for a must-win game. Tiki wonders whether Judge’s injury is more serious than the Yankees have let on as their season reaches the brink.
