Boomer & Gio

Al & Jerry: The endless scroll of social media

Jerry fills in for Gio alongside Boomer as the Yankees set a historic strikeout record, Carson Benge scores on a chaotic three-error infield dribbler, and the Rays get no love in Florida. Next, we break down Jalen Brunson playing through injury, look behind the scenes of commercial breaks, witness Matt Seelinger’s rough Mets debut, and question New York locker room drama. Then, an NYC building collapse scare shares the spotlight with conflicting Francisco Lindor trade rumors. Finally, we tackle Aaron Judge injury speculation, Zack Wheeler's All-Star anger, Charles Barkley declining Taylor Swift, and the Moment of the Day.

Jerry is in for Gio today on Boomer & Jerry, starting with the Yankees striking out 17 times for a second straight game to set an American League record. Next, we discuss the Mets pitching situation, Carson Benge’s little league home run on an infield dribbler via three Royals errors, and Tyler Tolbert flying out to end his 12-at-bat hit streak. C-Lo then delivers his first update with audio from that Benge play, Keith Hernandez’s disbelief, and Caballero’s weird 3-2 pitch bat drop. Finally, we look back at a night of interesting baseball action, including why nobody in Florida seems to care that the Rays are always a good team.

We start with Jalen Brunson playing through a wrist injury that required surgery, leading Jerry to wonder how Dallas blew it with him, followed by a comparison between Jeremy Lin and Caitlyn Clark. Next, C-Lo returns for an update after Jerry reveals what Boomer talks about during commercial breaks. Then, we cover local guy Matt Seelinger’s rough MLB debut for the Mets and Boomer's theory on the locker room drama behind the exits of Alonso, Nimmo, and McNeil. Finally, the Yankees lose to the Rays with another 17 strikeouts, before a caller explains why other countries develop better soccer players.

We start with an NYC building facing potential collapse during a commercial-to-residential conversion, forcing nearby evacuations. Next, we hear from Matt Seelinger’s college teammate who attended last night's game, before C-Lo updates us on the local guy's rough MLB debut with the Mets in front of family and friends. Then, we cover the Francisco Lindor trade rumors, with Mike Francesa saying it will happen and Ken Rosenthal saying it won't. Finally, Jerry discusses a poll about which skill you wish you had.
