Summary

While the Mets drama dominates headlines, the Yankees give their fans plenty to be frustrated about as well. Evan and Tiki zero in on Aaron Boone’s puzzling lineup decisions, questioning the logic behind benching key bats and “saving bullets” in a game that quickly got out of hand. For a team with postseason expectations, these early-season choices are raising eyebrows. The discussion dives into how lineup construction can directly impact momentum, why certain explanations from managers don’t sit well with fans, and whether these are just April missteps or signs of a bigger issue. With both New York teams leaving their fanbases uneasy, the pressure is already building on decisions that could matter far more than they should this early in the season.

This will be the one run they scored tonight. 100%. I absolutely nailed it. I didn't want to nail it, but I nailed it. Let's get to your calls. Met fans are pissed off at the team and even Steve Cohen's tweet. And Yankee fans, they're annoyed at the lineup, Aaron Boom, put out on the field. And we'll get to the giant fans coming up next hour concerning the future of Dexter Lawrence.

J.C. in Lyndonhurst. Good morning, J.C.

Good morning, fellas.

Beautiful day today, but not for us, Met fans.

But I guess for Lindorf, finally getting off this night and taking the one RBI,

so he's now officially got more than Frank the Tang to the season.

Congratulations, Francisco.

I'm proud of you.

0:46.1

Great job, buddy.

You got to do realize that in the last six games, we are two first-inning solo home runs

away from being shut out five out of six times,

which is absolutely insane to me.

So this goes back to a song that Evan is very familiar with that I wrote in the offseason called the Blue and Orange Blues.

You can't have hope in April when you strip out all the heart, and that's exactly

what they did. So good riddance, this team, as far as I'm concerned, they've got no heart, no life, no pulse, I am done with them. Well, don't, don't be done with them, because as down as we are, it's 18 games into the season. And even though it feels like they have no heart, they have a lot of new players. And those players can still change the early narrative on them. I have been very hard on

Marcus Simeon has an opportunity to make me look like an idiot. I've looked like an idiot before. I wouldn't mind looking like an idiot again. But he mentions Lindor.

Lindor, it's getting warmer outside. It is. So there you go. I mean, it was predictable because this happens every single year. It does. But you're right, it's not Lindor.

You had two hits last night.

2:18.6

It's the fact that Soto's not here. It's the fact that this offense, while I guess in theory better run prevention, don't produce any runs. And at least on a consistent basis, so at what point do we start saying this is actually who you are? Yeah, that's the concern. Like when we talk Yankees and Mets and we weave the two teams in,

Yankee fans have every right to be upset, but they aren't deeply concerned that their
