With Francisco Lindor’s hamate bone injury looming, the show pivots to the sudden wave of baseball injury news around the league, including Corbin Carroll and Jackson Holliday also dealing with hamate issues. The guys explain why this injury can be deceptively tricky, why power can take longer to return even after the “six week” timeline, and why Yankee fans are bracing for the next bad spring training update when Boone and Cashman meet the media.

They also revisit the original “three big stories” debate, weigh Soto’s move to left field against Lindor’s injury as the most important headline, and take early calls from fans on what the Mets should do if Lindor is not ready.

Then the conversation swings back to the Knicks, breaking down the overtime loss to Indiana, Karl-Anthony Towns disappearing, Brunson forcing it late, and the accusation that Rick Carlisle coached like he was trying to lose.
