A spring training bunt turns into a full-blown baseball debate as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the outrage over Braden Ward laying one down against Gerrit Cole in his first game back. What starts as a small play quickly becomes a bigger conversation about baseball etiquette, player opportunity, fan overreaction, and whether Yankees-Red Sox still carries real heat.
From arguing over Alex Cora’s influence and the value of speed guys off the bench to a detour into the Long Island debate, the guys keep the energy high and the opinions flying. They also get into the Mets’ 9-9-9 ballpark challenge, the best days to call out of work, Tommy Lugauer’s tournament whereabouts, and a memorable Howie Rose story and call that brings some true New York sports nostalgia to the table.
