A late-night caller sparked Gio's contemplation about Juan Soto's ninth-inning strikeout, suggesting it stemmed from a lack of faith in Pete Alonso. Boomer's mid-game texts to Ron Darling drew Gio's curiosity about Gary Cohen's potential feelings. C-Lo's update highlighted Devin Williams's shaky Yankees debut, Dave Sims's subway commute, and BT and Sal's Aaron Boone interview, where they debated Judge's batting order. The focus returned to Soto's crucial at-bat and post-game comments, followed by Carlos Mendoza's analysis. A brief detour covered Texas Tech's Elite 8 appearance. Finally, Gio's upcoming bartending gig and new CBS Sports sneakers led to a discussion about baseball's "needle movers," with Boomer excluding Soto, while Gio strongly disagreed.
