Boomer & Gio

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Adam Ottavino is back for another insightful, educational, and entertaining conversation with Bradfo, this time taking a good look at the good and bad of baseball in New York. The good is the Yankees. The bad? The team with the 11-game losing streak, the Mets. There is some great Cam Schlittler talk, along with the reminder that Juan Soto's absence should not only give the Mets, but all of baseball. It's always a good time when Adam is on the podcast, and this is no exception.

We open with the Knicks’ "garbage basketball" loss to the Hawks, highlighting rotation blunders and a cocky lack of aggressiveness. Jerry delivers all the game and postgame sounds, news of Edwin Diaz’s elbow surgery, Dexter Lawrence in Cincy and the NHL playoffs. We talk NJ Transit’s World Cup price gouging, the Knicks’ Finals potential, and lots of your calls. Plus, OBJ’s Giants workout, preview tonight’s Mets and Yankees action while critiquing Francisco Lindor’s effort, followed by KAT’s fourth-quarter struggles. We wrap up with the Jets’ draft needs at number two, Jerry’s prediction for a big Mets win, and the Moment of the Day featuring Stephen Waldren and European tourists’ obsession with city squirrels.

The Knicks dropped a home game to the Hawks in what Gio called "garbage basketball," featuring Jalen Brunson’s defensive struggles against CJ McCollum and a rotation that benched both Brunson and KAT simultaneously. Gio argues the team and Mike Brown got too cocky. Jerry delivers the sounds of the late-game collapse and postgame reactions before pivoting to the news that Edwin Diaz needs elbow surgery and will miss three months. After hearing from Dexter Lawrence in Cincinnati and recapping the NHL playoffs, we wrap up with the Knicks game plagued by the same ugly habits seen during the regular season.

We tackle NJ Transit price gouging for the World Cup and the Knicks’ Finals potential before taking calls from frustrated fans. Jerry talks about golfing with Stephen Waldren, followed by the sounds of Noah Eagle calling the Knicks' loss and Mike Brown’s reaction. After CJ McCollum’s take on Knicks fans and William Chisholm’s comments on Joe Mazzulla we close with OBJ’s Giants workout and the debate over whether a reunion makes sense.

The Mets and Yankees are back tonight with the Yanks in Boston and Nolan McLean hosting the Twins, but first we tackle Francisco Lindor’s disinterested play and mental errors. Jerry’s update covers the sounds of the Knicks’ Game 2 loss to the Hawks, including KAT’s breakdown of that fourth-quarter, and Dexter Lawrence meeting the media in Cincinnati. Finally, we discuss John Lynch using AI for the 49ers' draft prep, prompting Boomer to ask Grok for the Giants’ ideal pick.
