2025/10/09

BT and Sal deliver a fiery debate on Anthony Volpe's future, asserting there's "no way" he can be the Yankees' unquestioned starting shortstop in 2026 given his current struggles and low trade value. They argue the Yankees must either create a real competition for the spot—potentially with a player like Jose Caballero—or make a massive trade or free-agent signing for an established shortstop, which would force Volpe to second base (and likely mean moving on from Jazz Chisholm Jr. or Gleyber Torres)

2025/10/09

BT and Sal tear into the sad reality of organizational inertia following another disappointing early postseason exit for the Yankees.

BT and Sal dive into the fiery psychology of the sports fan, debating the polarizing idea that it's emotionally safer—and ultimately more rewarding—to root for teams to lose rather than rooting for your own team to win.

2025/10/09

BT and Sal tear into the New York Yankees' all-too-familiar playoff exit, this time at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays. They argue that the team's reliance on "mash or whiff" power hitters and a flawed organizational philosophy is consistently exposed in the postseason.
