Sal and BT opened by torching the Mets for their spectacular collapse, with Sal declaring the team "definitively done" if they can't win tonight due to a complete pitching failure and sloppy play, while BT stressed that there are no obvious moves for the manager to fix the "baseball coma." The fiery MVP debate reached a boiling point as both hosts pivoted to favor Cal Raleigh over Aaron Judge, primarily due to Raleigh's historic 60 home runs as a catcher and the symbolic weight of the milestone. The discussion capped off with their NFL Power Rankings, where Sal made a bold move by placing the Detroit Lions at number one, while BT stuck with the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles at the top spot.
