Summary

The New York Yankees have officially entered a full-blown June swoon after dropping their 7th straight game, and Chris McMonigle has had enough. From blown opportunities to Aaron Boone's decisions, Cody Bellinger's struggles, and another frustrating extra-inning loss, Craig Carton and Big Mac break down everything that's gone wrong in the Bronx.

Plus, Mitchell Robinson leaves the Knicks to sign with the Boston Celtics, ending his championship run in New York. Was letting Mitch walk the right move? Can Leon Rose replace his rebounding and defense, or will Knicks fans regret this decision?

523 straight up.

It's the Carton Show with Big Mac.

0:08.2

Let's all count together on a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon

0:12.7

where the phone numbers 888, 808, 101, 919, 1, 2, 3, 4, five, six, seven. Did Mitchell Robinson get that many years?

0:25.8

Seven kids. Second and losses. The swoon is on. Mitchell Robinson is no longer a Nick. He's now

0:34.3

Boston South. I told you it's going to happen on Wednesday. You nailed the Wednesday.

0:37.7

Nobody wants to listen to me at all about that. We'll get into that in the time we have. I've seen more than that tomorrow as well. And the New York Metro being blown out early in Toronto as well. Tough day to be a New Yorker sports fan for sure. Good afternoon, Big Mac. I know how you are, but how are you today, pal. I'm miserable.

0:53.3

That was disgusting.

0:55.3

This team is disgusting.

0:56.9

They don't know how to win. They don't know how to make the winning plays. Both these series, they've lost seven in a row, swept in a four-game set at Fenway, swept by the Tigers here at home, and in both Finale's had opportunities to win the game. And cannot make the big play, cannot get the big out. But Doval, I mean, the guy comes in with an ERA under one in his last 10 starts and he's blowing people away. 102 miles an hour. He gets, with the runner on second base, he gets the first two outs. He's 0 and 2 on a lousy right-handed hitter, and he falls apart and gives up four runs. Yeah, walk, walk, walk. Oh, my God. How does someone lose it like that? How do you go from being dominant 0-and-2 against the right-handed hitter and right-handed and right-handed is he's dominated? How do you go from that moment to falling apart in an instant? It is so frustrating. And then the bat with Cabrera, like, there is so many things. And I know this isn't the show that we go through all so many things. Not enough time. And I'll have the go get them. But there are so many things that went into this loss that make me disgusted. But I'll still say, as bad as Doval was, as miserable as the Cabrera bat was, and we find out to start the game. The whole team's sick. You got that? The whole team's got the flu. The whole team ate something bad. The whole team did something, I don't know. So they're limited. They're playing Cabrera in, excuse me, Caballero in centerfield. They can't go to Jones until late. They got no Schumann, so the manager thinks he can't pinch hit.

2:37.0

An obvious pinch hitter in a pinch hit situation late in the game. You got a pinch hit Goldschmidt. And I know I'm all over the place because I'm frustrated. But in the 10th inning, after they get through the 9th, and once they get through that 10th inning, And it's the bottom of the 10th, and you have a runner at third base with less than two outs.

2:51.7

That's the game right there. I got Deval coming up next. I don't trust him. I know I just said he had an ERA under one, and he looked dominant. I don't trust him in a big spot to save my life at all. I would never trust that dude. He's untrustable. You cannot pitch him in big situations. He's very shaky. Now, because of the situation, he had to be the next guy. I'm not blaming Boone for that. But you know that's what's coming. I don't care if Schumann's unavailable and because of all the other moves, you don't have an infield to play if he doesn't come through. You're not winning the game if he doesn't come through. That's how I'm viewing the situation. I need that runner to score or I'm losing. One out, man, on third, bottom of the test. And he has Cabrera, who's 0 for 8, just came up for a cup of coffee because the McMahon has a throat infection and a stomach virus. So, like, he's up here for a cup of coffee. He's 0 for 7 going into the abat, 0 for 8 going into the abat, and he strikes out. That's the moment right there, you have to win this game. But of all of that, here's the main crux of it. Rice has been awful. I know he had a home run last night, and he comes through the leadoffoff single in this game, but he had a big opportunity with runners on three-pitch strikeout. Belinger is one-thor- and up to Seventhly Mack. He takes the first pitch of fastball down the middle, doesn't swing at it, swings out a pitch out of the strike zone, and then watches a strike three go right down the pike too. It's a horrendous at bad. Fastball down the middle,

4:01.0

breaking ball in the dirt, swing over that, and then swing right through. watches a strike three go right down the pike too it's a it's a horrendous at bad fastball down the

3:58.1

middle breaking ball in the dirt swing over that and then swing right through a fastball right down

4:02.5

the middle and a huge spot bellinger is lifeless bellinger looks awful they gave bellinger the day off

4:08.3

yesterday after 50 plus straight games hoping that it could spark him he looks awful he's won for his

4:13.1

last 137 he's got he hasn't had an RBI, Craig. Since the year of the flood, I can't remember the last time Bellinger's got an RBI. And all of the ills of this team, all of the question marks of this team are still there, and none of the positives. None of the guys you count on. None of the people you can trust come through in the big spot right now, they don't know how to win. The manager right now doesn't know how to make the move to win. The players don't know how to make the right swing selection or make the right play. They're throwing the ball around, the final play of the game practically, to make that a four-run game instead of a three-run game every mistake that you can make this team is making in critical spots oh and by

4:52.3

the way every single starting pitcher they have faced in the seven-game stretch has been

4:56.1

Cy Young and Sandy Kofax right because they have been completely completely emasculated they were

two hit through what seven innings today the opposite opposite, yeah, the starting pitcher, Melton.

5:19.7

Troy Melton. Well, the good news is... He's pitched fairly well, but he's Troy Melton. There's good news for you. Even though you're now in a legitimate June swoon. Yes. And even swept in back-to-back series, which now qualifies as a swoon. No, it's a swoon. We're swooning.

5:20.4

We're swooning. Does it matter?
