  • Episode 16: “June Gloom – New York Baseball Hits a Wall”
    Jun 26 2025

    After a red-hot stretch, both the Mets and Yankees have slammed into a brutal cold spell—and Episode 16 dives straight into the wreckage. We break down the ugly stretch where New York baseball went from surging to sputtering.

    From lifeless bats and shaky bullpens to key injuries and roster shakeups, we dissect what went wrong, who's to blame, and whether this is just a midseason stumble—or something bigger.

    Plus, we spotlight the biggest under-performers, unexpected call-ups, and whether fans should panic or preach patience.

  • Episode 15: “Summer is Here- and New York Baseball is Smoking Hot”
    Jun 13 2025

    The heat is on in the city—and so are both squads. In Episode 15, Alec and Ed break down a red-hot stretch of New York baseball as the Yankees and Mets keep stacking wins. We open with a full recap of the last week and a half: who's surging, what's fueling the streaks, and whether this level of play feels built to last.

    Then it's time for a Heat Check—highlighting the biggest hitters, dominant arms, and surprise standouts from both sides of town. We wrap with the return of the Quippy Awards: from the best at-bat to the coldest bat, the wildest stat to the wildest crowd moment—this segment has it all.

    Two teams. One city. All gas, no breaks.
