BT and Sal are fired up for Yankees playoff baseball, convinced this is the deepest, most balanced Yankees team since Aaron Boone took over, making a World Series run feel more possible than in recent years. The excitement is tempered by the fear that the Red Sox, a dangerous rival, present the toughest first-round challenge, particularly facing ace lefty Garrett Crochet. The hosts debate the Yankees' expected lineup, which oddly neglects hot-hitting Ben Rice and Jazz Chisholm due to analytics and matchups, leading Sal to call it a "flaw" that could expose the team.

The conversation pivots to the win-or-go-home pressure on Aaron Judge, who must exorcise his postseason demons and carry the team. A furious discussion erupts over the Jets' 0-4 start, with the hosts questioning whether rookie head coach Aaron Glenn is the answer, citing atrocious fundamentals, penalties, and a severe lack of discipline. The segment also hits on the Mets' historic and uniquely painful collapse, concluding they failed to even "fold the right way," before analyst Brian Baldinger joins to praise Giants rookie QB Jaxson Dart's impressive debut but criticize Sauce Gardner's regression. Finally, the "Call of the Day" features a wildly enthusiastic Yankees fan, Vinny from Long Island, predicting a quick series win.
