Summary
The Subway Series ended with a shocker, as the Mets pulled off the kind of ninth inning comeback their fans had been conditioned not to expect. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to Tyrone Taylor’s stunning homer, the empty seats at Citi Field, and the rare feeling of the Mets actually delivering a magical late game moment.
The guys also break down why the loss should worry Yankees fans beyond just one ugly afternoon. David Bednar’s latest collapse, Austin Wells’ growing struggles, Aaron Judge’s quiet series, and a rough road trip all become part of a bigger conversation about a Yankees team that is still in good shape but suddenly has real problems to solve.

| 0:00.0 | It wasn't pretty, it was very ugly, but a very entertaining Subway series. |
| 0:04.1 | And the first thing I need to ask to some of my fellow Met fans is, do you feel like an idiot if you left that game early yesterday? |
| 0:11.0 | You have to. |
| 0:12.1 | Because when Tyrone Taylor hit that three-run home run, which I'm still stunned by, and we'll get to the Yankee perspective on things, the Met perspective on things, we'll mix him both. |
| 0:19.9 | But I could tell you |
| 0:21.0 | right now, Teak, 8,000 Met fans left the building before Tyrone Taylor hit that three run. It was weird to listen to because it felt like there was no reaction to it. Because, A, we were stunned. Of course. And B, and like, I partially get it. It's a Sunday afternoon. There's going to be a lot of traffic. the L.I. Double R is having their strike. |
| 0:39.4 | You're with your kids. Maybe your kids tired. |
| 0:41.4 | Maybe you're... And like, I partially get it. It's a Sunday afternoon. There's going to be a lot of traffic. The L.I. |
| 0:37.7 | Double R is having their strike. |
| 0:39.1 | You're with your kids. Maybe your kid's tired. Maybe a kid's hot. So I'm not shaming anybody for leaving early. No, but you should have stayed. You should stay. I'm also wondering, like, are you regretting it right now? Do you feel like an idiot right now? Are you apologizing to your kids right now? |
| 0:53.3 | Because there were a lot of empty seats when Tyrone Taylor hit that shocking three run home run. And then obviously, in inning later, the Mets won it on the walkoff field his choice. That was a stunning moment, though. And I think it was a stunning moment for Mets. I don't know how stunning it was for the Yankee fan because you're losing confidence in David Bednar by the day. Yeah, I think it's more frustrating for the Yankee fan and again, they're nine games over 500. |
| 1:11.9 | Ultimately, because you're losing confidence in David Bednar by the day. Yeah, I think it's more frustrating for the Yankee fan. |
| 1:13.9 | And again, there are nine games over 500. |
| 1:16.1 | Ultimately, we think they're going to be fine. |
| 1:22.1 | But you can't keep losing series or games in this walk-off type fashion and trusting your closer. |
| 1:22.8 | We talked about their bullpen and how David Bednar seemed to be the one kind of solid. Maybe he's not. Maybe when the trade deadline comes, he's going to one that gets pushed back into a setup role and they bring in another closer at this point. But my thought is, it was, as I'm watching this game, and by the way, we're outside, we're waiting for cheer reveals with my girls. Cheer reveals. Cheer reveals. I'll tell you. We'll get into the story a little bit later, but it's a beautiful day outside. |
| 1:48.4 | Yeah. But it's hot. It's like 80 something that degrees outside. I look at David Bednar on TV screen. We're watching it in town at a bar. |
| 1:57.0 | And I'm like, dude, he's got to be dying. He's got long sleeve shirt on. |
| 2:01.6 | Obviously, he's got his Yankee gear on. |
| 2:03.2 | He's got long sleeve shirt on, sleeves under that thing. |
| 2:06.1 | I'm thinking, how is he not dying? |
| 2:09.3 | And then as he gets into that inning, and he's got two on, |
