Big Apple Battle: A New York Baseball Podcast

The regular season is over, and New York baseball fans are feeling every emotion possible. In Episode 20, we dive into the Mets’ official elimination from playoff contention — a crushing finish that left Alec furious and heartbroken after holding out hope until the very end. What was supposed to be a season of promise ends in disappointment, and we break down how it all fell apart.

Meanwhile, across town, the Yankees are preparing for a high-stakes Wild Card showdown against their oldest rival, the Boston Red Sox. The Bronx Bombers have momentum and swagger, but the intensity of October baseball is about to be tested in one of the sport’s fiercest matchups.

From Alec’s raw reaction to the Mets’ collapse to Ed’s cautious confidence about the Yankees’ chances, we capture the split emotions of New York fans as one chapter slams shut and another one begins.
