BT and Sal, still hot after ripping into a recent Mets' broadcast call for being "corny" and "pre-meditated," brought on the legendary John Sterling to discuss his most historic home run calls. The fiery duo celebrated Sterling's ability to capture the moment with unscripted passion and unique flair, a stark contrast to the broadcast calls they had just criticized. Sterling's appearance turned into a masterclass on the art of broadcasting, with the iconic voice of the Yankees sharing the stories behind his most memorable and spontaneous home run calls.

After Pete Alonso officially became the Mets' all-time home run leader, BT and Sal got into a fiery debate about his future with the team. Sal believes that this historic moment, combined with Alonso's strong performance, makes it impossible for Steve Cohen to let him walk in free agency. BT, however, argued that it's a sentimental take that ignores the business side of baseball, citing Alonso's age and the team's past hesitation to sign him long-term. Both hosts agreed that the fans would revolt if the Mets let their homegrown home run king leave, but they couldn't agree on whether the team's front office will prioritize this emotional connection over cold, hard business logic.

BT and Sal are refusing to get excited about the Yankees' latest win, arguing it's just another instance of "bully ball" that gives a false sense of hope. They dismiss the victory against a struggling Twins pitcher as a meaningless, temporary fix that doesn't address the team's fundamental problems. The co-hosts insist that this win, built on home runs and against weak competition, is a distraction from the larger issues of a flawed roster, poor baserunning, inconsistent pitching, and a broken organizational culture that has persisted for years.

The Yankees got back on track last night. C-Mac says it’s nice to win but other than Will Warren, there’s nothing to really make anyone feel more confident in the Yankees. C-Mac is annoyed that every team has to be compared to teams of the past that have no connection other than wearing the same uniform. C-Mac says there’s too much focus on comparing teams to past champions when the focus should instead be on current competition.

In a revealing conversation, former Mets GM Zack Scott was pressed about the infamous 2021 trade that sent a young Pete Crow-Armstrong to the Cubs for Javier Báez. Scott candidly explained the front office's thought process at the time, admitting that while they valued Crow-Armstrong's defense and makeup, they fundamentally missed on his offensive potential, specifically his power. He detailed how the team, in a "win-now" mode under new ownership, prioritized a veteran bat for a playoff push, and how the industry as a whole underestimated Crow-Armstrong's future stardom. This discussion offers a rare glimpse into the complex and often unforgiving world of baseball front office decision-making.

Sal Licata sits down with former Mets acting general manager Zack Scott to discuss the true story behind his highly publicized 2021 arrest and subsequent termination. Scott, who was recently exonerated of all charges, shares his account of the event, explaining that he was tired, not intoxicated, and that video evidence presented in court confirmed his innocence. He reveals that despite being cleared and even being asked to return to his role, the Mets still fired him without a clear explanation, a decision he believes was influenced by the team's "zero tolerance" climate at the time.

Sal held a direct and fiery conversation with Mets manager Carlos Mendoza about the team's recent struggles, which have seen them lose seven of their last eight games. Sal pressed Mendoza on the team's frustrating inconsistency, particularly with their star-studded offense. While Mendoza acknowledged the team's struggles and the need for more complete games, he maintained confidence in his roster, emphasizing that the players are working hard and will eventually turn things around. Sal ended the interview by reminding Mendoza that King Cohen had done his part by providing the talent, and now it's up to the manager and players to "get the job done."
