Summary

The hour began with a Yankees discussion, leading to a debate on modern baseball hitters, with only five batting over .300. Jerry and a caller blamed a change in approach and suggested players need glasses. C-Lo reported Boomer's X activity and the Mets' hot streak, particularly Mark Vientos. The Phillies postgame show praised Nolan McLean. Howie Rose's issue at Tuesday's game reminded C-Lo of a Mad Dog rant. The Yankees crushed the Nationals 11-2. Dawn Staley discussed her Knicks HC interview. The hour concluded with Andrew Thomas returning to Giants practice, crucial for their season, and an update on Micah Parsons, whom Willie expects to remain a Cowboy. Jerry questioned the perception of edge rushers' win rates, deeming it unfair to offensive linemen, to which Willie replied, "that’s life as a lineman."
