BT and Sal are refusing to get excited about the Yankees' latest win, arguing it's just another instance of "bully ball" that gives a false sense of hope. They dismiss the victory against a struggling Twins pitcher as a meaningless, temporary fix that doesn't address the team's fundamental problems. The co-hosts insist that this win, built on home runs and against weak competition, is a distraction from the larger issues of a flawed roster, poor baserunning, inconsistent pitching, and a broken organizational culture that has persisted for years.

The Yankees got back on track last night. C-Mac says it’s nice to win but other than Will Warren, there’s nothing to really make anyone feel more confident in the Yankees. C-Mac is annoyed that every team has to be compared to teams of the past that have no connection other than wearing the same uniform. C-Mac says there’s too much focus on comparing teams to past champions when the focus should instead be on current competition.

If you thought being swept at home by the Guardians was bad enough, the Mets were a Juan Soto home run away from being NO HIT! But at least the bullpen looks good. New York Yankees decided to show a little fight and beat the Rangers on the road to end a losing streak.

In a revealing conversation, former Mets GM Zack Scott was pressed about the infamous 2021 trade that sent a young Pete Crow-Armstrong to the Cubs for Javier Báez. Scott candidly explained the front office's thought process at the time, admitting that while they valued Crow-Armstrong's defense and makeup, they fundamentally missed on his offensive potential, specifically his power. He detailed how the team, in a "win-now" mode under new ownership, prioritized a veteran bat for a playoff push, and how the industry as a whole underestimated Crow-Armstrong's future stardom. This discussion offers a rare glimpse into the complex and often unforgiving world of baseball front office decision-making.

Sal Licata sits down with former Mets acting general manager Zack Scott to discuss the true story behind his highly publicized 2021 arrest and subsequent termination. Scott, who was recently exonerated of all charges, shares his account of the event, explaining that he was tired, not intoxicated, and that video evidence presented in court confirmed his innocence. He reveals that despite being cleared and even being asked to return to his role, the Mets still fired him without a clear explanation, a decision he believes was influenced by the team's "zero tolerance" climate at the time.

Sal held a direct and fiery conversation with Mets manager Carlos Mendoza about the team's recent struggles, which have seen them lose seven of their last eight games. Sal pressed Mendoza on the team's frustrating inconsistency, particularly with their star-studded offense. While Mendoza acknowledged the team's struggles and the need for more complete games, he maintained confidence in his roster, emphasizing that the players are working hard and will eventually turn things around. Sal ended the interview by reminding Mendoza that King Cohen had done his part by providing the talent, and now it's up to the manager and players to "get the job done."

Sal lit into the Yankees for their latest loss, blaming the team's culture of prioritizing a player's feelings over winning. He was especially incensed by the decision to let Devin Williams close out the game, a move that he believes was made to avoid hurting Williams' feelings after he had already proven to be unreliable. Sal argued that this "soft" approach and lack of accountability are at the heart of the team's ongoing struggles, leading to a frustrating and predictable loss. He insisted that the Yankees' management and coaching staff are afraid to make tough, performance-based decisions, and it's costing them games they should be winning.
