Episode 28: “Opening Day Is HERE”

Episode 32: “The Clock Is Ticking”

The season is moving fast, and both New York teams are approaching a critical stretch. In Episode 32, Alec and Ed check in on where the Yankees and Mets currently stand as the summer heats up. The Yankees continue to battle through inconsistencies while trying to prove they belong among the American League's elite. What's holding them back, and what needs to improve before the second half? Then the conversation shifts to Queens, where the Mets are still searching for answers. The offense remains frustratingly inconsistent, injuries continue to play a role, and the margin for error is shrinking. Are the Mets still positioned to make a run, or are bigger questions starting to emerge? Plus, with the trade deadline rapidly approaching, Alec and Ed look ahead at what each team needs to show over the next few weeks and what types of moves could help push them toward October. The standings matter. The deadline is coming. And the next few weeks could define the season.

Episode 31: “Tested in the Bronx, Broken in Queens?"

The Yankees and Mets are both dealing with rough stretches right now, but the feeling around each team couldn’t be more different. In Episode 31, Alec and Ed break down the recent Yankees slide and why, despite the injuries and tougher stretch of games, it still feels like a normal part of a long baseball season for a legitimate contender. What concerns are actually real, and what’s just baseball over 162? Then we head to Queens, where the Mets are starting to build an identity nobody wants attached to their team. The offense looks lifeless, the injuries keep piling up, and the overall product on the field has turned into ugly baseball. Is this just a skid… or a deeper issue with how this roster is built? Two struggling teams. Two completely different vibes.

Episode 30: “Panic in Queens, Party in the Bronx”

The vibes in New York couldn’t be more different right now. In Episode 30, Alec and Ed dive straight into the chaos in Queens as the Mets continue their brutal stretch. Alec goes off in a full rant—what’s actually broken, who deserves the blame, and how bad this can realistically get if nothing changes. Then we flip to the other side of town. The Yankees are rolling in the Bronx, and we break down what’s clicking—from lineup production to pitching stability—and whether this start feels sustainable. Two teams, two completely different stories. Same city, opposite energy.

Episode 29: “8 Games In: Real or Fugazi?”

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.

Episode 28: “Opening Day Is HERE”

Opening Day is here, and it’s time to call your shot. In Episode 28, Alec and Ed kick things off with a gut check on both the Mets and Yankees as final rosters lock in. What surprised us? What do we love? What already has us a little uneasy? From there, it’s straight into Opening Day itself—matchups to watch, early storylines, and yes… a quick rant on the streaming situation shaking up how fans actually watch the game. Then it’s prediction time. Each side brings what they’re most excited about heading into the season, their biggest concern, and one bold prediction that could define how 2026 plays out. The takes are on record now—no hiding from them later. To close it out, we zoom out and look at the full season. Records, MVPs, Cy Young picks, and the expectations that will ultimately define success or failure in New York this year. Opening Day energy, real predictions, and the start of another chapter in the Big Apple baseball rivalry. Episode 28 sets the tone.
