2025/10/29

BT and Sal dive into the eternal and fiery debate: Babe Ruth vs. Shohei Ohtani. Sal argues that Ohtani's two-way status is overblown, revealing that Ruth wasn't a true full-time simultaneous pitcher/hitter for long, and suggesting Ohtani's overall dominance doesn't match the "King" (Ruth). BT counters, asking if a 1920s-era Ruth would be a mere "Daniel Vogelbach" in today's game, while Ohtani would be an "alien" if he time-traveled. They also discuss the "Ohtani Rule" and the uncomfortable noise

The discussion veers into MLB's "Ohtani Rule," which Sal calls "total BS," and the hosts speculate on the star's recent gambling scandal. The segment ends with the bizarre Call of the Day, where Sal recounts a vivid dream featuring Brendan Tierney doing color

BT and Sal get into a hilarious, fiery fight over the handling of pizza in the studio. They call out their producer, Hoff, for grabbing slices late and failing to announce the food to the hosts.

T and Sal unleash a fiery debate with their weekly Three Random Questions segment! First, they clash over sick-day philosophy: When illness strikes, do you reach for the medicine cabinet or suck it up and "let it ride out naturally?"

Brandon Tierney & Sal Licata ·

2025/10/29

BT and Sal dive into the Shohei Ohtani debate, triggered by his World Series performance, questioning if the two-way superstar is truly the best athlete since Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders. Sal argues that while Ohtani's success is unprecedented in the modern specialized MLB, the multi-sport feats of Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders—playing at the highest levels in the NFL and MLB—are ultimately more impressive due to the physical intensity of football. The segment features a caller who asks if Ohtani's

BT & Sal dive into the Knicks' early struggles, impatiently pushing back on sensitive fans ("We get it, they'll be a playoff team!") as they preview a crucial stretch of seven straight home games at MSG.

2025/10/29

BT and Sal unleash a fiery critique on Karl-Anthony Towns' (KAT) performance, arguing his "soft" and "careless" style is a fatal flaw for the Knicks' championship aspirations. Sal vehemently rejects the idea of "spoon-feeding" a star player and asserts that KAT is an "offensive foul machine" who is simply not an "efficient or effective inside player." BT agrees, labeling Towns a "modern big" who "flails like a baby deer on skates" in the post. They argue the Knicks must maximize his "elite shooting"

BT and Sal go scorched-earth on the Knicks' rough start, debating whether the biggest problem is new head coach "Mike Clown" or perceived soft superstar Karl-Anthony Towns. Sal blasts coach Mike Brown for being a "clown" who's too focused on being loved and not a true taskmaster, leading to a disorganized offense. BT argues the real issue is Towns, calling him a "little puppy" lacking the competitive fire of a true superstar, incapable of leading the team to a championship with his sloppy, soft, and

Baldy agrees with the harsh criticism from Giants legend Carl Banks, stating that the All-Pro defensive tackle has lost his "enormous strength" and isn't showing the dominance expected, especially after a backup center handled him with ease.

BT & Sal lock horns over the news that Antoan Richardson, the Mets' first base coach, may leave after contract talks stalled due to his desire for an expanded role. Sal passionately defends Richardson, calling him the "best first base coach in baseball" and highlighting his historic 89% stolen base success rate with the Mets, a stat Juan Soto directly credited him for.
