The Yankees have won four straight and cut Tampa Bay’s AL East lead to four games, forcing Tiki Barber to reverse his earlier declaration that the division race was over. Evan Roberts isn’t convinced, arguing that the Yankees’ lengthy stretch without Aaron Judge still shows a team only slightly above .500 despite the recent surge.

They debate whether Cody Bellinger’s return, improved offense from Elliott Ramos and Luis Garcia, and dominant pitching can change the race. Gerrit Cole’s latest gem also sparks a bigger argument, with Evan making the case that Cole has actually been a better Yankee than CC Sabathia, even if CC remains the more beloved figure.

The Yankees swept the Orioles, Gerrit Cole had another good start and Jerry says this is the formula for the Yankees winning the World Series.

They analyze Mason Rincon's dramatic walk-off home run for Bayonne in the Little League World Series and address the controversy surrounding his celebration. The conversation shifts to the disputed Pete Alonso foul ball during the Yankees-Orioles game, explaining how different camera angles changed their perspective on the play. Finally, they tease an upcoming reveal about the meaning behind Aaron Boone's post-win gesture and revisit a famous Shohei Ohtani home run call.

The Yankees survived a massive Pete Alonso scare in Baltimore when his towering shot was ruled foul, a call Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber believe completely changed the game. They credit the Yankees for taking advantage and finishing off a 5-3 win, but the controversy raises a bigger question about why MLB still cannot definitively judge fair-or-foul home runs with modern technology.

Evan and Tiki call for taller foul poles, better camera angles and even new tracking technology to eliminate the guesswork. They also debate whether Alonso still cares about making headlines in New York, while the Orioles broadcast pours gasoline on the rivalry by mocking Mets fans after his earlier home run.

We start the show with Pete Alonso’s controversial foul ball in last night’s Yankees win over the Orioles. Jerry says it was a fair ball. We also discuss Steve Cohen’s comments before the game yesterday.

With Bart Scott filling in for C-Mac, Craig breaks down what could be a dream scenario for Mets fans. Could Mark Walters selling his stake in the Dodgers lead to a Shohei Ohtani opt-out? If so would Steve Cohen go get the two-way superstar? The guys cover it all.

The Yankees keep surviving, but every game feels like a struggle. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether New York deserves credit for staying afloat through a brutal run of injuries or criticism for barely playing .500 baseball despite outstanding pitching. Aaron Judge is making slow progress, Giancarlo Stanton is moving closer to a return, and Aaron Boone’s comments make Max Fried’s injured-list stint sound more precautionary than catastrophic.

Jazz Chisholm is becoming another source of frustration. His bat has disappeared, the strikeouts are piling up, and a defensive mistake has Evan questioning whether Chisholm should still be guaranteed everyday at-bats. The Yankees may be headed for October, but getting Judge, Stanton and Fried healthy at the right time could determine how far they actually go.
