  • Get off my lawn

    The show has really gone downhill. Michael is really starting to show his age and spends more time on ridiculous personal gripes and takes then he does on sports… just one example is he spent 10 minutes talking about how baseball shouldn’t call what the players wear “uniforms” because they all wear them differently and uniform means “all the same”. It really has just become a platform for a cranky old man

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hour 2: Michael Kay and Alex Day
Q: What is the key strategy for the Yankees in the ALDS if they advance?
The plan centers on leveraging their ace in high-leverage games, with potential rotation adjustments to maximize rest and matchup advantages against the opponent, while keeping bullpen flexibility in reserve for a short three-game series.
Hour 1: Schlittler MVP?
Q: How much does public perception and online discourse influence MVP voting?
Writers are human and can be swayed a little by discourse, but the voting largely hinges on numbers and performance rather than fan chatter.
Hour 1: Howie Rose
Q: What was the feeling in the booth when the Piazza home run happened?
The call was measured and respectful, with the understanding that the moment was not just about a baseball hit but about a city healing; the crowd's energy and the broadcast's tone reflected that significance.
Hour 1: Volpe Returns
Q: What happens if Volpe hits well but Jazz returns and is healthy?
The host suggests a flexible plan where Volpe could see time against left-handers and Jazz could be used against right-handers, with the bigger decision possibly favoring Jazz if he returns to form, while Volpe remains a strong option for second base long-term.
Hour 1: Chris Simms and Paul Finebaum
Q: What is the latest on Deshaun Watson's role for the Browns this season?
Chris Simms explains there was a quarterback competition in preseason, with Shador Sanders impressing, but ultimately Deshaun Watson appears to remain the starter, though there's ongoing debate about who should start as the season progresses.
