Full Show: NY's Baseball Blahs: It's UGLY!
On their June 24th show, BT and Sal were fired up dissecting the simultaneous slumps of both New York baseball teams. They pinpointed Pete Alonso's alarming lack of production as a key reason for the Mets' brutal 1-9 run, especially against division rivals. For the Yankees, the hosts tore into their persistent offensive inconsistencies, particularly their inability to get timely hits and their lineup issues, leading them to question whether both Big Apple teams are heading for a fiery freefall or if these are merely temporary blips. The discussion also included a humorous recount of Evan Roberts' unfortunate Mets game experience.

Hour 3: Pete's Power Outage: Mets in Crisis!
BT and Sal passionately dissect the Mets' recent struggles, particularly focusing on Pete Alonso's alarming slump, which they attribute as a major factor in the team's abysmal 1-9 record. Sal, in particular, highlights Alonso's poor stats over the last ten games, including 16 strikeouts, two extra-base hits, and one RBI, and debates with callers about whether Alonso's hot start to the season was sustainable compared to Juan Soto's more consistent production. They express frustration with the Mets' overall lack of "juice" and urgency, suggesting the team needs to make proactive moves to improve the lineup's floor rather than waiting for the trade deadline, all while fending off listeners who defend Alonso or question their critical stance.
