Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. And we're coming to you live from the Built Forward Tough Studio. Boomer Esaias and Greg Giannotti. It's Boomer and Geo. On the fan simulcast across the country on CBS Sports Network. And we're here on the free Odyssey app. Good Thursday morning. Mets offense really, really bad. Really, really frustrating. Another annoying loss to the St.
Louis Cardinals yesterday. in extra innings this time and you have the Yankees continue to roll so if you want to talk some positive baseball you got them Cam Schlittler spectacular Yankees offense getting it done the pitching staff has been amazing and you got the New York Knicks back in action last night on a back-to-back without Jalen Brunson playing one of the worst teams in the NBA but the
If you want to create a storyline there, you can. Because what do you get in the game where Jalen Brunson is not playing? Karl-Anthony Towns triple-double and Karl-Anthony Towns getting the ball consistently throughout the game. I'm not going to make too much of a deal out of it because I think if Jalen Brunson played in this game, they probably still would have scored.
80 points in the first half and 130 in the game because Memphis is not trying to win, but still interesting with what we talked about yesterday. Good morning, Bloomer. How are you? Yeah, I've been better, Gene. You know, I've been a little under the weather this morning, as you can hear. Thank you very much for that. I appreciate it. Sorry.
And now I'm fighting it, and before you know it, the whole staff will be fighting it. I'm sure Al will be fighting it. I don't know about CeeLo. He said he needed a hazmat suit this morning, and maybe he's right. Good for Jerry for getting out of here. And then Eddie's on this extended vacation. He's very smart for not being around here right now. Yeah, you know what, though?
Eddie doesn't get sick very much. Al does not get sick very much. Jerry's had a really good winter. I had a great winter. I was not sick the entire winter until this time. But, yeah, CeeLo is susceptible, as we know. His immune system, not the best. Yeah, well, I just, you know, look.
I felt like I've had a really good winter myself, and I was thinking that this hit me on April 1st, so I made it through December, January, February, and March, and those are the deadly months. Now here I start the spring off with a nasty head cold, but we'll get through it, and we're going to talk a lot about a lot of different things. The one thing that I want to start with
is what Cam Schlittler looked like yesterday. I mean, that kid looks like a star. He looked like a star last year in the playoffs. He looks like a real bona fide. I mean, they got a number one in waiting. Now they got Garrett Cole coming back, and this kid just looked like it was an everyday minor league game yesterday, and he was just throwing gas. I mean, his pitches were unbelievable.
And listening to David Cohn actually talk about what he was doing and the pitches he was throwing. And I never knew this about pitching, but David Cohn said yesterday that there were times where he would be warming up and he was trying to hit the plate with a curveball.

Chapter 2: How did Cam Schlittler perform in his latest game?
And then he called him Contrara or something. Yeah, something like that, yes. But they are going because he pitched yesterday, Sandy Alcantara. So, yeah, you're not going to see him in that series against the Marlins, but you got Will Warren on the mound tomorrow as things kick off in the Bronx in 2026.
And by the way, we are a long way from opening day when we came in here the day after saying, man, look at this Mets lineup. Look how great it looks. Look at the length that they're going to have. Look at the amount of pitches that they're going to be fighting off. I'm embarrassed by my opening day take right now because I was like, man, this is exactly what you want.
This is exactly what David Stearns was talking about. You know, these at-bats and then the fouling off of pitches and look at all the walks they had. What do they have, seven walks in the game? Maybe it was even more than that opening day, whatever it was. And here they are now, just brutal offensively. Can't get a big hit. Can't get a hit with runners in scoring position.
Multiple mental errors by Francisco Lindor yesterday, which is very, very unlike him. Obviously, one coming right before Juan Soto ends up hitting that home run. Who knows if he's still on base? You know, you don't know. You want to know why he's not the captain of the team? Because of stuff like that? Because of stuff like yesterday.
I don't know about that because Steve Cohen said that as long as he's the owner, there's not going to be a captain. It seems like that's a philosophy. I don't know. That's interesting. I didn't look at it like that. I just looked at it like Lindor had a bad day. He had a bad day. He had a bad day in the field. He had a bad day at the plate. He had a bad day everywhere.
He's supposed to be the best player on the team. He's supposed to be an all-star shortstop. He's supposed to be leading the team. Yeah, but how many times are you making those mental errors, though? You know what I mean? There's not like a history of Francisco Lindor not knowing how many outs there were. He was checked out yesterday. He didn't want to play. Yeah, it was a weird one.
It was lazy, not focused baseball for sure. I mean, I'll agree with that. I'm not saying 162 games you're going to have games like this, but man. You ever see Aaron Judge get picked off like that? I mean, not off the top of my head. Can I give you an example? No. Aaron Judge, do you know how many outs there are? Generally, yes. Yes, okay. Yeah, I mean, it was bad.
I just don't think that, you know, I don't think this is... You're one of the highest paid players in the team. You've got to act like it.
Sorry.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Francisco Lindor's mental errors?
First to four against the Giants. David Peterson, Robbie Ray, the starters for a 9-45 first pitch. Keith Hernandez is going to miss the next five games at least with a bad back. When did that happen? He dealt with some pain on the flight, I guess, out there at a St. Louis. Must have like a... Back spasms? You've got to rest him up. For now, it's going to be five games.
We'll see how he comes through some treatment. He'll be re-evaluated, I guess. Re-evaluated, okay. When they get back home from the West Coast. Man, a broadcaster on the IL. Thoughts and prayers, Keith.
That's right.
We're with you. No power through. We'll be all right. The Knicks avoided 0-4 road trip as they handled the Grizzlies without the services of Jalen Brunson, who missed the game due to ankle soreness last night.
He missed his first four, but he's nailed the last two, and it's back to a 13-point lead.
That's Tyler Murray on MSG. Three of a game high, 25 points for O.G. Ananobi to go along with 13 rebounds as the Knicks went on to win in Memphis, 130-119. Carl Anthony Towns, 20 points, 11 boards. So we did have seven turnovers. I believe the Knicks had 19 as a team, but they do get the victory, and here was Cat afterwards on the victory.
I thought we did a great job moving the ball. I thought we did a good job. Playing with a .5 mentality and doing everything we needed to do to be a good team and a hungry team.
With a lot of guys trying to prove themselves in this league. That's one I'm not familiar with.
.5 mentality.

Chapter 4: What performance did Cam Schlittler deliver for the Yankees?
Ha ha!
Chris, that is awesome. That is awesome. I don't know I don't do that, but no. Oh, God. Props to Chris there on that. He got me, too. I was not expecting that. It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Hi, Boomer and Geo on the fan and CBS Sports Network. Wu-Tang Clan tickets coming up. This hour. Were you a Wu-Tang guy, CeeLo? Not a Wu-Tang guy, but I was aware. Yeah, you were aware.
Chapter 5: What are the Mets' struggles in their recent games?
Same for ODB. Yeah, so you knew these guys. I did. Okay, good. Because the other day, nobody knew any of these guys. That's what I heard, yeah. Very surprising. Yeah. Very disappointing. I thought it would have crossed over all sorts of cultural lines, the Wu-Tang clan. Yeah, especially I would have thought Jerry would have been at least aware. Yeah. Big 90s guy, you know.
I did screw it up yesterday, as Flea points out. I did say dirty old bastard versus an old dirty bastard.
Chapter 6: How does the discussion transition to personal anecdotes and humor?
I heard that. But! I still know my Wu-Tang. I'll tell you that one. Wu-Tang forever. I couldn't give you a breakdown of singles, hits, or anything like that. Ghostface Killer? No. Who went solo? Method Man? I'm aware. Method Man, yes. Did know Method Man. Do you sit and pee in the middle of the night when you get up? No. Okay, good. I've been listening to that breakdown as well.
Do you get up and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night? You're young.
Rarely.
Rarely. Maybe if I had a lot of... By the way, I don't do that. I know. I've already talked about it. But you've made excuses for people who do, though. I mean, that's the way they want to live their life. I'm not going to tell them how to live their life. I don't go as far as you where you were like, I've never even heard of this or contemplated it.
I've heard Al speak about it in the past with his buddy, I guess. Is it your buddy or is it you because of the – not wanting to turn the light on? Yeah, my friend just sits down. Like some people who have a hard time sleeping to begin with, I get where they wouldn't want to rouse themselves in the middle of the night with the light coming on and everything. Yeah. All right. Just making sure.
No, I'm not a sit-down guy. I thought I knew you, and I did. Yeah. Yeah, you are a stand-and-pee guy at all hours of the day. Yeah. Makes me proud. All right, CeeLo, what do you got over there for us? All right, sponsored by Chef IQ, precision cooking, effortless results, chefiq.com. Another series win for the Yankees. They took the rubber game for the Mariners yesterday in Seattle, 5-3.
Yes, Cam Schlittler was great again, six in the third innings of two-hit shutout ball. No walks for the second straight start, seven strikeouts. But the bullpen got touched up a bit, so this swing from the veteran Paul Goldschmidt was huge, and that makes him our thriving player of the game. Brought to you by Thrivewell Infusions. And one. And the pitch.
Swung on and hit to the gap in deep left center field. It's got some carry. Rosarito giving up. And there it goes. Paul Goldsmith, a three-run homer. And the Yankees have a four-nothing lead here in Seattle in the sixth inning. Smooth call from Dave Sims here on the fan.
Three-run shot off a righty for Goldschmidt after he got the start at first base with Ben Rice serving as the DH in place of a resting Giancarlo Sten. And that was predetermined day game after night game in the travel back home. Even though he's been swinging a hot bat, he got the day off yesterday. So Goldschmidt, our Yankees thriving player of the game.

Chapter 7: What condiment debate arises during the episode?
That's the most popular thing. There's no way. No way. You put ketchup on that?
No.
Don't put ketchup on it.
I do not put ketchup on it.
You put ketchup on your eggs? Yeah, I like ketchup.
I'm a ketchup guy.
It's either plain or it's hot sauce. That's for me.

Chapter 8: How do the hosts feel about mayo on hot dogs?
I like barbecue sauce. Plain or what? Or hot sauce. Or bacon and cheese. But I'm not questioning your choice. Well, because it's a great one. That's why. Well, it's not for me. It's not. His are perfect. Yours are great.
Yeah.
Can't go wrong. I'm 100% perfect when it comes to that.
No, you know what?
I will go head-to-head with you on the condiment Olympics. And I'm telling you. Like if you had a liverwished and cheddar cheese sandwich on rye bread or pumpernickel, what would you put on there? That sounds like a honey mustard spot. Good. It's a mustard spot. 100% a mustard spot. If you had a roast beef coleslaw on rye bread. Thousand Island. Thousand Island? I could see that.
I'd put butter on that. See? I never put butter in roast beef. I wouldn't have thought that, ever. Hey, John, I'm asking people, what do you want? Boom, Gio, what's up, guys? How's it going? What's up with you, you weirdo? What's going on? Come on, don't judge. You're not allowed to judge. So, mayo on a hot dog, underrated. You do it every time? No, not every time, man. I'm not that crazy.
All right. Spring break. You guys ever go to Acapulco, Cancun spring break?
Hell, yeah. I've been there, yeah.
Yeah, they got the hot dog trucks out there. They set them up, a little mustard, a little mayo, a little ketchup. It's really good. All of them together? Don't hate on it. Wow, that's crazy.
