Sal Licata unleashed a fiery tirade against the New York Yankees, not just for another painful loss to the Blue Jays, but for their systemic failures in playing "the game the right way." He lambasted the organization for continually fielding players out of position, highlighting the egregious example of Ben Rice catching despite not being a catcher, and questioning the continued presence of underperforming veterans like DJ LeMahieu and the team's overall reliance on analytics over common sense. Licata's frustration boiled over as he dissected the Yankees' inability to correct long-standing issues, asserting that their consistent postseason appearances mask a deep-seated problem of sloppy baseball and a lack of accountability from management, ultimately calling for a fundamental shift in how the team is constructed and coached.

The Knicks finally have their next head coach, Mike Brown. This feels like a lateral move from Thibs. Gio does love the experience he brings. There were also rumors going around that the Knicks were interested in bringing Ben Simmons in. The press conference is going to be interesting because nobody from the Knicks addressed why they got rid of Thibs, so all of the questions are going to be about that now. Mike Brown is inheriting the best Knicks team a coach was ever handed.

BT and Sal are fed up with the New York Yankees' recent performance, particularly after what they deemed the "worst loss of the season" due to across-the-board poor play, including shoddy baserunning, defensive errors from the left side of the infield, and a bullpen that acts like a "gas can and matches." They pinpoint Anthony Volpe's struggles at shortstop and Mark Leiter Jr.'s frequent ineffective pitching as prime examples of the lack of accountability within the organization, pushing for bold moves like benching Volpe and cutting Leiter to send a clear message that the current "unacceptable" status quo must change, especially given the team's ongoing issues at third base and the need for another bat to protect Aaron Judge.

BT is are fired up discussing the alarming trend of opposing teams intentionally walking Aaron Judge, signaling a critical lack of protection in the Yankees' lineup. With Judge being walked 20 times already this season – matching his total from all of last year – the guys debate whether the Yankees can truly contend for a championship if they can't force opponents to pitch to their best player. They dissect potential solutions, from shifting Judge in the order to trusting young bats like Dominguez or relying on Bellinger, emphasizing that if the Yankees don't make teams "pay with blood" for walking Judge, their World Series hopes are in serious jeopardy.

BT is absolutely disgusted and furious with the New York Mets' performance against the Pittsburgh Pirates, calling their series sweep "completely unacceptable" and a "disgrace." He highlights the stark contrast between the Mets' staggering $325 million payroll and the Pirates' meager $90 million, emphasizing that a team with such high-priced stars should never be outscored 30-4 by a low-budget opponent. BT also expresses frustration with the team's lifeless play, the ineffective pitching, the anemic offense, and the repeated failures of team meetings and managerial ejections to spark any change, concluding that the Mets have hit a new low despite their high expectations.

The Mets got swept by the Pirates and were outscored 30-4. Boomer said you know the team is bad when Ron Darling is talking about ice cream sandwiches. They had a players only meeting on Saturday night that did not work. We talked about the Mets payroll and how that payroll only scored 4 runs. Carlos Mendoza got tossed from a game hoping that would help. It didn’t. Because of the payroll, ‘Somebody’s ass has got to be held accountable’, according to Boomer.
