Episode 25: "“April Is Coming”

Here comes the annual reset button for New York baseball. In Episode 25, Alec and Ed kick off the 2026 season by separating real takeaways from classic overreactions after just a handful of Spring Training games. It’s the ultimate early reality check — what actually matters, what absolutely doesn’t, and which subtle roster decisions might tell us more than the box score ever will.

The conversation then shifts to Opening Day projections, breaking down rotation confidence levels, early bullpen pecking orders, and the lineup construction questions that could define April. Who feels stable? Who feels like they’re still experimenting? And which early storyline deserves real attention before the season ramps up?

The episode closes with a nod to Spring’s Subway Series energy — favorite rivalry moments, underrated personal memories, and the kind of nostalgia that reminds everyone why this city hits different when both teams are playing meaningful baseball. Fresh starts, familiar pressure, and a clean slate in the Bronx and Queens. Episode 25 sets the tone for the season ahead.
