Carson Benge making the Mets’ Opening Day roster sets the tone for a lively baseball-heavy conversation as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into what fans should realistically expect from a fast-rising rookie. They break down the excitement of a debut on Opening Day, the pressure that comes with first-round pedigree, and why a really good everyday player can still feel underrated when expectations soar.

The discussion expands into the Yankees’ lineup questions, from whether Aaron Judge belongs in the leadoff spot to what the future holds for Jason Dominguez and the team’s young outfield depth. Along the way, Evan and Tiki mix sharp baseball takes with the kind of loose, funny back-and-forth that keeps the show moving, including prospect patience, trade hypotheticals, and a spirited argument over whether reclining your seat on an airplane is rude.
