Chapter 1: What highlights from the Mets' opening day are discussed?
I've got all of the sounds from opening day for the Mets. I'll leave the national anthem to you guys. You want me to take care of that next hour?
Yeah, I mean... Is that something you're going to play or not play? No, I feel like it was because it happened early yesterday. I feel bad for the guy. Yeah, me too, because you know he didn't want to screw it up. He knew the lyrics, obviously. It's just the fact that he plays George Washington in Hamilton makes it even worse, but... Yeah, I mean... Even still.
You had that before the game. Now, there's a lot of highlights I could have went with here in the first one, but I decided to go with the rookie as the Mets beat the Pirates. The first inning, obviously, was a huge storyline with Paul Skeens not getting out of it. O'Neal Cruz was terrible. But let's give you the rookie with his first Major League home run.
Elbow problems. First pitch. Bench hits it in the air to right field. Fairly deep. O'Hearn back at the wall. And it's gone. He hit it off the canopy in the right field bullpen. Carson Bench makes his first major league hit. A home run. And high. Home base.
Yes.
That kid's got some juice to him, man.
Yes, he does. He does. He would go back-to-back because Francisco Alvarez would homer right after, part of an 11-7 opening day win for the Mets. Brett Beatty, a three-run triple that you guys discussed earlier in that five-run first inning. Luis Robert Jr., a couple of hits and runs scoring singles. Francisco Lindor, 0-2, but he walked three times and scored three runs, really set the table.
Here was Benj. So you struck out your first two at-bats. Then what? How did you kind of settle down?
Just calm down. Just like deep breath, calm down. Great atmosphere, great fans. Just trying to bring myself back down so I can compete.

Chapter 2: How did Carson Benge perform in his first Major League game?
A lot. I would think.
Yeah, you would absolutely think that. Here was Brett Beatty. Describes that bases-clearing triple.
Worst case scenario, I was hoping it was going to be a sack fly, and then I saw Cruz kind of come in on it. So then I was like, let's keep running. What I don't understand with this O'Neal Cruz, he's not an outfielder.
They made that very clear, and even last year when they shifted him from the infield, why not just make him a DH then if he can't play the field? Yeah, I don't know what other options they had.
O'Neal looks like Jason Dominguez in left field.
He's huge. Did you see him when Lau hit the home run? Yes. And he's waiting for him at home plate? Yeah. It looked like father and son.
So, I mean, I remember he had one of the best arms at shortstop and how fast he threw the ball. Was he that much of a butcher at shortstop?
He couldn't have been worse than he is in the outfield. It's strange.
I don't know.

Chapter 3: What insights does Paul Skeens share after the game?
Oh my God. Any ideas how you do this? Probably as long and as tongue-bathing as much as you could possibly lick every inch of Seinfeld verbally. That's probably how it happened.
You're not that far off. So it's a 30-second intro. Here it was.
A legend in comedy. A legend in television. A New York icon. I am, of course, talking about the great Jerry Seinfeld. And as a fan of Seinfeld, it is my favorite TV show. I never thought I would get this opportunity. But now that I have it, I'm going to take advantage of it. So as I welcome in Jerry Seinfeld, all I have to say is, Jerry! Hello!
So you get the laugh. Now I'll ask you, how do you think Seinfeld responded to that? You heard a little bit of a chuckle.
I'm going to say that Jerry was very kind to him.
I'm going to say I came on to talk about the Mets. Don't do any more Seinfeld references. That's what I thought he was going to do. No, I'm telling you he was going to be kind to him.
He was. Yes. But he also made it seem like you're welcome.
It was Seinfeld. Tommy, you worked very, very hard for this. You earned it. You deserved it. You put in the time. You managed to catch me in the bathroom at weird times talking about my show. And I was touched. I was flattered. And as a result, we are now connected.
That was funny at the beginning. Yes. You've earned it. Here I am. Yeah, right. He worked very hard to have this conversation with me. Obviously, I only got to the first minute because I was running out of time before I came in here, but I will try and sift through that.

Chapter 4: What was Jerry Seinfeld's introduction like on the show?
I think there were four players on the court.
Can you say what happened? I'll address that one, Myron. Put that one on me. It was a miscommunication, and I'm the head coach. Put that one on me.
And then I believe it might have been another question in between, but I think this was the immediate follow-up. This is a little bit longer with the question and answer.
The four men on the court on that final inbound, there's some confusion online about if that's the rules.
You're supposed to have five guys on the court. Were the officials supposed to hold the ball? That's a good question, Robin. I've never been in a situation like that. I know they always count to make sure there's not six. I don't know the rule on that with four. But yeah, I mean, again, it was a miscommunication.
Yeah, so that's not a great answer.
Do you know that rule?
I've never seen that either. No, I don't. That's interesting. I mean, if that is the case, as bad of a look at it for Fred Hoiberg, if the officials are not allowed to blow the whistle to, you know, inbound the ball without five on the court for both teams, then maybe this should have never happened.
I have certainly seen numerous times where a team comes off a timeout with only four guys on the court, and you'll see one of the assistants or a coach screaming at someone, and they grab, like, you're supposed to be out there. But I've never seen a play with actually four players on the floor, except in Hoosiers when Norman Dale took his guy off the court and said, I got my team out there.
