Eight games in, and the takes are already flying. But what’s actually real?
In Episode 29, Alec and Ed check in on the Mets and Yankees after the first stretch of the season. We break down the early vibe vs. the record, biggest surprises, and what we’re buying (or not) so far.
Then we sort through the noise. Which storylines feel legit, and which ones are getting overhyped? Plus, one “is this a thing?” take each and a quick look at early manager decisions.
To close it out, we adjust the outlook on updated MVP and Cy Young picks, and one take we’re ready to double down on.
Small sample size, big reactions.
