C-Lo returns for an update and we heard from Dave Sims on the Anthony Volpe HR. Devin Willaims talked about staying calm in hairy situations. Joe Buck tried to interview Aaron Boone during the game but Boone couldn’t hear them. We heard from Juan Soto as he struck out in the ninth to end the game and talked about what happened. Evan Roberts broke down the ninth on his Rico Brogna podcast.

Is Juan Soto a "needle mover"?

We heard Juan Soto at the plate in the ninth as he struck out to end the game. After the game, Soto said he didn’t mind taking a walk with Alonso behind him. Carlos Mendoza talked about that at-bat. Texas Tech beat Arkansas to head to the Elite 8.

Gio heard something from an overnight caller that actually made him think. It involved Juan Soto not believing in Pete Alonso so he swung at a pitch he shouldn’t have in the ninth inning in a clutch spot. Boomer was texting Ron Darling during the game, and Gio said Gary Cohen probably doesn’t like that. Gio also wonders if Gary likes Boomer or not.

Boomer details a run-in with C-Mac where he was sitting in his car instead of moving it so Boomer could park there. We heard Dave Sims on the call as Austin Wells homered with a ‘Hey Now!’ C-Mac called in to defend himself after Boomer’s attack.

The MLB had a terrible opening day as people had huge problems watching the games on the app. Juan Soto struck out in the ninth with two men on. Soto looked at an easy to hit 3-0 pitch. The Yankees opening game went much better with Austin Wells hitting a HR in the first inning. We also talked a little Cody Bellinger.
