Hour 1
MLB's opening day was marred by app streaming issues, overshadowing Juan Soto's crucial ninth-inning strikeout for the Mets. Conversely, the Yankees enjoyed a smoother start with Austin Wells's early home run and a successful, albeit eventful, outing from Devin Williams. Off-air drama ensued as Boomer recounted a parking dispute with C-Mac, who later defended himself. C-Lo finally delivered his update, featuring Keith McPherson's hoarse post-game reaction to the Yankees and Evan Roberts's critique of Soto's performance on the Rico Brogna podcast.
Hour 2
A late-night caller sparked Gio's contemplation about Juan Soto's ninth-inning strikeout, suggesting it stemmed from a lack of faith in Pete Alonso. Boomer's mid-game texts to Ron Darling drew Gio's curiosity about Gary Cohen's potential feelings. C-Lo's update highlighted Devin Williams's shaky Yankees debut, Dave Sims's subway commute, and BT and Sal's Aaron Boone interview, where they debated Judge's batting order. The focus returned to Soto's crucial at-bat and post-game comments, followed by Carlos Mendoza's analysis. A brief detour covered Texas Tech's Elite 8 appearance. Finally, Gio's upcoming bartending gig and new CBS Sports sneakers led to a discussion about baseball's "needle movers," with Boomer excluding Soto, while Gio strongly disagreed.
Hour 3
Boomer's MLB "needle movers" list sparked heated debate, with callers criticizing the omission of Juan Soto and even Derek Jeter. Gio emphasized Soto's impact, citing increased Mets ticket sales. C-Lo's update featured Dave Sims's call of an Anthony Volpe home run, Devin Williams's composure, and Aaron Boone's in-game interview difficulties. The focus shifted back to Soto's crucial strikeout and Evan Roberts's post-game analysis. Gio then questioned the Jets and Giants' current "needle mover" status. The hour concluded with discussion of Fox canceling Derek Jeter's Pat McAfee interview, seemingly due to network rivalry, and a caller's inquiry about temporary "needle movers" like Jeremy Lin.
Hour 4
The Knicks' playoff potential took center stage, with Boomer questioning their ability to compete against top teams like Boston. April's sports excitement was debated against October's, leading to a tangent on NFL kickoffs and comparisons of Shedeur Sanders to Dak Prescott. Deion Sanders's search for a team criticizing his son was mentioned, with Josina Anderson hinting at a "top 7 drafting team." C-Lo's final update featured Yankees highlights and Keith McPherson's hoarse post-game commentary, followed by Howie Rose's call of Soto's strikeout. Gio's CBS Sports sneaker display was highlighted as the Moment of the Day. The show concluded with a discussion of MLB app streaming issues and the cost of SNY.
