Summary

Opening Day should be all about baseball, but this Yankees win came with a major distraction. Evan and Tiki dive into the reaction from fans after a dominant performance on the field was overshadowed by a chaotic and overproduced Netflix broadcast. From missed pitches to unnecessary cutaways, the conversation centers on how the viewing experience impacted what should’ve been a clean, exciting start to the season. They break down Max Fried’s strong outing, the Yankees’ aggressive approach at the plate, and why a stress-free win still left fans frustrated. The discussion expands into the balance between entertainment and sport, including missed moments like the hyped first pitch and awkward in-game segments. Plus, Mets Opening Day energy builds, with fan excitement, travel headaches, and expectations for a completely revamped roster all adding to the buzz.

It's a day of excitement. Welcome to Evan and Tiki. I think when it comes to the Yankee game,

0:06.2

no one actually wants to talk about how Max Fried was awesome into the seventh inning and escaped

0:11.7

his one crisis moment in the first. No one wants to talk about how the bottom of the order was

0:16.4

electric when they were jumping on first pitches from Logan Webb. No one even wants the crap on Aaron Judge who struck out four times last night.

0:24.1

It seems like the biggest response to last night's Yankee victory was Netflix.

0:31.7

Am I reading the room wrong on that one?

0:34.3

No, you are, you are dead on it.

0:35.9

Dead on it.

0:36.6

The broadcast was disjointed.

1:11.0

It was full. What did you call it? A mob cast in our text. That was not me. I cannot take credit to that. Somebody called it that. It was just, God, there's so much going on that they're missing what's actually going on. Yeah. And that was my biggest issue with him. What was it, the fifth inning or sixth inning when Cody Bellinger came back with a hit and they're just getting out of commercial and they're like, oh, you know, Cody Beliger with a drive the right field. And it's like, dude, show me the game. You see the guy on the mound getting ready to pitch. Come back.

1:11.7

Yes, right?

1:16.0

Who cares you got to show an Intuit commercial or whatever the heck they were showing at that time?

1:19.1

And that was just part of it, the entire broadcast.

1:21.2

It was just little misses.

2:00.9

They have this scheme that they work up from a ball coming into the ballpark and a guy in the stand catches it and he's like, oh, this is cool. And then they show the close up on the ball, but it's blurred. You can't read what it says. It's like, what are you doing? I'm surprised by you. I really am. Like, I expect Sean to whine about the Netflix broadcast. I expect callers to whine about the Netflix broadcast. This is basic, Evan, this is basic, like, broadcasting. I get it. It wasn't perfect. I'm not telling you it was like a deserves an award. It was a disaster. I just, maybe this is just me. I was just so excited. Baseball was back. Yes. I was too. Ultimately, I cared about the game and the fact that the Yankees blew out the San Francisco Giants. Well, that's the problem.

2:02.1

So I think for a lot of Yankee fans, it's like, great we won. Ultimately, I cared about the game and the fact that the Yankees blew out the San Francisco Giants.

2:04.9

And then I think when you win a game that gives you less stress as humans in 2026, we have to find things to bitch about. That's right. And so since you can't really complain about the game, even Aaron Judge going 0 for 4,

2:16.0

it's kind of awesome when you think about it, that Aaron Judge went 0 for 4.

2:18.9

The Yankees didn't hit any home runs, but they scored seven runs?

2:21.1

No, he was 0 for 4. It's kind of awesome when you think about it,
