WFAN Daily

A brutal start to the week in New York baseball. New York Yankees and New York Mets fans are fed up after a winless weekend, and Craig Carton with Chris McMonigle break it all down on WFAN.

The Mets’ slow start is one thing, but what’s happening with Francisco Lindor is something else entirely. Evan and Tiki focus on the first wave of concern coming out of Queens, zeroing in on Lindor’s uncharacteristic mistakes that go beyond a typical early-season slump. From base running blunders to defensive lapses, they try to make sense of why one of the game’s smartest players suddenly looks out of sync.

They explore multiple theories, including whether increased aggression, lack of familiarity with new teammates, or even a possible lingering injury could be impacting his instincts. The conversation also touches on the Mets’ offensive struggles, lineup inconsistencies, and the growing pressure surrounding Carlos Mendoza as questions begin to mount just weeks into the season.

Boomer & Gio disagree on if Soto and Lindor actually care about playing baseball for the New York Mets.

Of all the dramatic things. Who would have thought the Mets and Yankees would both be swept this weekend and head into Monday on a 5 game losing streak. What is going on??? Plus, the most unbelievable win in sports this weekend!

Things got REAL on The Carton Show as Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle bring on rising NFL insider Nikki to break down the controversial Mike Vrabel–Dianna Russini situation and she does NOT hold back.

The New York Knicks are closing out a regular season that, by every measurable standard, is better than last year—more wins, improved efficiency, and stronger results against top competition. Yet for many fans, confidence hasn’t followed the numbers. Instead, there’s a growing sense that the regular season no longer matters, and that belief has shifted the way this team is judged heading into the playoffs.

Evan and Shaun dig into why the vibe around this team feels so different, from questions about how sustainable the stats really are to the evolving expectations that now mirror those of New York Yankees fans. They explore whether the Knicks’ inconsistencies, coaching decisions, and overall feel outweigh the hard data, and what it says about a fanbase that has officially moved from hopeful to demanding as the postseason approaches.
