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 wherever you are, the free Odyssey app. Good Tuesday morning. Mets go out to St. Louis, get a victory with Bo Bichette driving in a couple of runs.
Made a really nice play at third base as well. Almost made two really nice plays at third base. So he ends up getting going, which is something that all Mets fans wanted to see sooner than later. The Yankees out in Seattle lose a tough one as Luis Castillo was brilliant for the Mariners and the big dumper who had been... Really, really on a rough streak to start the season.
Gets the night off and then comes in and of course is the hero in a walk-off situation with Cal Raleigh. We got some football we're going to get to today as well. But Clay Holmes, great start. Mets, great win. And the Yankees lose their first game of the season.
Chapter 2: What were the outcomes of the Mets and Yankees games?
It was going to happen at some point. Good morning, Boomer. How are you? Yeah, good morning, Jay. And, you know, you watch the Mets like they were last night. I mean, whether it be 10 hits and 8 walks, or I think it was 8 walks. I mean, it felt like they had been on base all night. So, you know, this is the lineup that we saw in Game 1, and it will continue to get better and better and better.
And the nice thing about it is that... You know, some guy can have a bad week and other guys should be able to pick him up. I still think they're going to be very competitive. I think they're an over 90 win team right now as we speak, as long as they stay healthy. And, you know, quite frankly, you're not going to win them all if you're the Yankees. And they ran into a great pitcher last night.
And it's the nice thing for the Yankees is that, you know, both of these series are away from home. So anybody that may be in a little bit of a mild slump is not going to be getting booed by Yankee fans. You know what I'm saying?
Sure.
I like Bo Bichette got booed by Met fans in game three. So, yeah, the expectations are high for both teams. And it's just nice to see Greg Beatty be involved again.
Carson Bench being involved.
They keep doing that one. They keep going Greg Beatty.
I know.
Brett Beatty. Brett Beatty. I don't know. I don't know why I feel like it's the Brady bunch. Yeah. But I don't know. It's just one of those things. I'll get over it somewhere along the line. Yeah. But anyway, it's just nice to see those guys involved again. You know? And... It doesn't matter.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of player performances early in the season?
Swinging at bad pitches. And last night he hits one and then falls over after he hits it. Yeah, I know. You can tell he's not totally into it yet. He's not totally in sync yet. But, you know, it's a weird situation. But it's a good win. It's a good, solid win in St. Louis. And they continue to do the things that I think we saw in the first three games.
You know, I'm going to throw something out there that I thought was potentially... I just wonder, you tell me, as being in a professional locker room, stuff like this happens, especially the way Juan Soto last year was really looking at his numbers and stuff. So, you know, Lindor leads off with the triple.
Then Soto comes up, and he does what he does, where he's like, I'm going to try to get this opposite field, try to find the hole between third and short, but does not, and Lindor doesn't go on contact when the infield wasn't in. Then Bichette comes up, right? And then he, of course, the infield's now in with one out. Yeah. And he goes on contact.
And then, you know, he ends up scoring because there's a little bit of a bobble, whatever. Make the other team throw the ball. Make the other team handle the ball.
Right. Pressure on them, yeah.
But I'm thinking, like, Soto's like, wait a second. Infield was back. He didn't go on contact. I should have got an RBI out of that. I should have got an RBI out of this. Maybe he goes to the third base coach. Maybe he goes to Mendoza. He's like, wait a second. You're sending him here when the infield's in. You didn't send him with me.
You think stuff like that happens in the dugout, like this early in the season, talking about RBIs and stuff? I know what happens in the NBA with stats. With those two guys?
That's what I'm saying. I don't know.
Anything's possible, I guess. But I don't think it was the door's fault. I think it was more the fact that they told him what to do. Yeah, but if the infield is back, you're going on contact. That's all there is to it unless it's hit hard on third base or something.

Chapter 4: What is the latest news on Odell Beckham Jr. and the Giants?
It just is. If you've got the ability to do this, just do it for every pitch. That's all you have to do. Well, it's amazing when you see the guy tapping his helmet, how quickly the umpire turns around and says, challenge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then literally, up comes on the screen, the challenge box, and you see where the ball is. It's so quick. It is so quick.
I mean, that umpire had a tough night. Yeah, well, of course. But then again, like, we're talking... This is another reason why they just need to do this for every single pitch. I mean, we're talking like tenths of an inch. Yeah. Right.
So if we're going to sit there and the Yankees are going to be right and other teams are going to be right about a tenth of an inch between a strike and a ball, and we've got to sit there. Now, it doesn't take long, but still, you do it five times. It's embarrassing the umpire. You're getting the manager all fired up about it for no reason. I mean, and I still...
you could still have a home plate umpire in every single game that has a responsibility without cutting his salary. So the umpires union shouldn't have an issue with this. So it's not going to happen this year. This is the way that it's going to go this year. There's going to be other examples. Now,
For example, they were talking about on the broadcast last night, you know, the catcher for the Cardinals has gotten all of them wrong. And he got one wrong last night as well, where he thought it was a strike and it was a ball and it was like, you know, three-tenths of an inch off the plate. So not everybody's getting it right, but it's just a waste.
Even though it's quick, it's still a waste of time. Yeah, and plus, you know... The thing about it is I feel like at home watching these games, I want to challenge it. Well, yeah, that's the other part of this. It's like it really is distracting as a viewer when the box is still up there and every single pitch you're like, are they going to challenge? You should have challenged this.
Maybe you should have challenged this. I think it was on Saturday when Keith and Ronnie were saying, why would you not challenge if you were the Pirates when you have both challenges left and you're in the ninth inning? Right. It was one of those two teams, and neither team challenged in that situation when they felt like there was a strike that was a ball or there was a ball that was a strike.
One way or the other, why not challenge them? Why don't leave them in your back pocket if you don't have to? Sure. Especially if you have the lead.
Yeah.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Tiger Woods' recent arrest?
And you wouldn't feel like you'd feel okay that he told you. Yeah, and also, exactly. He's got that ability to do that. And this isn't even bad news at this point because we already know the news. Like, him showing up at the Masters wouldn't be bad. He'd just be able to... I mean, I don't think that there's any way that they could handle this where they're going to get crushed.
I just don't see that. But crushed... Crushed by who? That's what I'm saying. That's why... Depending if they feel like they have to handle it and the way that they explain it, they could get crushed by people who have been victimized by people who are driven either while intoxicated or under the influence. But they're not going to do that.
They're not going to sit there and be... Make excuses for him? No. If he's there, then I think they have to talk about him. If he's not there, I think by that time... This thing will have either dissipated from the back pages, but because of his success at the Masters, I would imagine that it will come front and center once again.
And that's why if I were his agent under the current set of circumstances, I would advise him not to go there. So NBC, during the Texas Children's Open this last weekend, they went out of their way to address it. Well, they had to. They brought it up because it was fresh. It was news at that point.
And Kevin Kisner, who's a very good friend of Tiger's, basically did the, you know, we're happy that nobody's injured. Hopefully he's getting the help that he needs and all of these things, you know, that they said. And they handled it. If Tiger Woods is not at the Masters, you know, if this were the first event that had happened. That's a different story then.
But we're talking now, as you said, weeks beyond it. If he's not there, I don't think they have to address it. I really don't believe that they do. Hey, Steven Waldron, CBS Sports. Do you think that CBS has to address the Tiger DUI during the Masters? Okay, very good. Thank you, Steven. It's a very good answer, Steven. As you should. Yes. David Burson gave the perfect answer. So, very good.
He learned from the best, Sean McMahon. That's right.
Absolutely.
Very best, man. You know, and believe me, they've had a lot of controversies surrounding Augusta over the years. Oh, my goodness. But they've handled mostly everything, and they've done the right thing by the golf course and the golf tournament itself. To me, I still say it's the second most important championship. I understand that it's the first one of the year, but what I like is I like the...

Chapter 6: How does the discussion shift to the Mets and Yankees performance?
Sure. To me, having your name engraved on that trophy is just as important, if not more. It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. All right, Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Build Forward Tough studio on the Fan and CBS Sports Network. I was the only one around here who really had a connection to the Wu-Tang Clan. And I was surprised about that.
I thought maybe somebody would at least have a recollection. A couple people remembered Method Man, but Al and Young Rami and Jerry and Boomer, really no connection to Wu-Tang Clan. Now, why am I talking about Wu-Tang Clan? If you missed it earlier, we gave away Wu-Tang Clan tickets in the 7 o'clock hour. Now, WFAN has a lot of great listeners from all backgrounds.
I also believe that there's a lot of older baseball fans that listen to WFAN, and some of these older baseball fans will hear a contest going on, and they'll just call the contest line to try to win the tickets. And you might get somebody who has no idea who Wu-Tang Clan is, would never go to a Wu-Tang Clan concert that wins these tickets. I think that was probably a possibility.
So, Al, who won the Wu-Tang Clan tickets? Oh, okay.
He did sound younger. Oh. And he was very excited. Oh, okay, good. And could not believe his good fortune. Great. Yeah, so it was somebody who does know Wu-Tang Clan. All right, awesome. So, good. Yes. I was happy about that.
I mean, you got to remember, for me, I was... The 80s, when I was in college and I was a rookie in the NFL. Yeah, I understand. That was back when the Sugar Hill Gang, Grandmaster Flash, Curtis Blow, all those guys were the ones that were the precursor to all of this other stuff. And, you know, that was my, like, hip-hop genre, if you will. I totally understand.
And I was playing all that music for you from my iTunes library.
See, but I know that stuff.
Yes, okay. So I know that stuff prior to my time. And, you know, in the 90s, you know, you have kids, you're distracted, you're getting traded. You're getting traded. Yeah, I mean, I think that was unique to you and a few other people. I know, but I'm just saying, but, you know, you're kind of like, I don't know, I guess I kind of lost track of some things. Yeah, that's fine.

Chapter 7: What are the key points from John Harbaugh's comments?
I mean, you got a Gen Z-er in there who didn't even really know Wu-Tang Clan at all. He doesn't know anything. I mean, come on. I don't know about that. He knows his little pop culture stuff, yeah, for sure. And he's certainly added a little bit to us, I think, in a good way. Yeah, for the days that Eddie has been out. But unfortunately, it's going to be Al back there alone.
And that's going to be a very, very tough thing for us. Very, very tough. Yeah. Now, are they going to combine the desk, Al, or are you just going to have to move from one place to the other? I think I'll move back and forth. Yeah, you're going to have to. Because you don't want to disrupt anything. There's all this construction going on.
Maybe the new studio, they'll just put the one thing in there because it'll be one person. Are you getting a raise, by the way? I don't think so. I mean, come on. Yeah. If you're doing both jobs. Yeah. Ronnie, what are you making? 50 bucks a day now? What are you doing? Probably less than that. Okay. So, I mean, like, they can't give that to you, Al? They cannot. Yeah. Okay.
Just the rules around here. The rules around here? Yeah.
The other shows, you know, like, middays, one person in the booth.
Yeah.
That's right.
Afternoons. Well, now, afternoons got two in there, right? No, one. What is Gallo doing in there?
He's a digital guy. Digital.

Chapter 8: How does the conversation wrap up regarding Odell Beckham Jr.?
He's out there working on the digital videos. I think somebody sent me something where he was questioning something I said about C-Mac or something yesterday. Yeah, you could be a little more vague. That'd be nice. Yeah. I just want to make sure that I'm accurate. If he's attacking me, then I'm taking back the Denver Bronco helmet that I gave him.
I'm going to make him pay for the Jets tickets to London that I gave him. Wow. Wow. Big time. A little bit of appreciation, maybe. Yeah. Well, Gallo, he does like to pop off from now and again. But we also give it to him. So it's one of those things. Well, you give it to him. You give it to him, too. Yeah, but you call him Antifa, right? What do you call him? The basic outline.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What do you call him? We call him Antifa Anthony. That's a we thing. Don't put that on me. We came up with it. Well, I think you might have said first that he was Antifa, and then I just did the alliteration thing after that. Okay. So did he take a shot or not? I thought he was more... If I had to classify him, I would put him in the deadhead crowd. Deadhead? They have deft. That's it. Deft.
They've got deft, bro. No, he's not a deadhead crowd? You don't think so? No, no, no. No, not at all. No, he's an angry. He's got anger in him. The deadheads don't have anger in them. Okay. They've got deft. Deft. Deft. Deft. That's the one thing about that group is, and what makes him dangerous, the deft off the bench. All right, so I'm just getting this. Yeah, I mean. I don't know what that is.
So listen to it. And by the way, it seems like it's an overnight show he was doing. That was not a part of the carton show. Oh, okay. That's an overnight show he was doing. Are you going to listen to it? All right, I guess I will. I mean, you brought it up. What do you want? You're like, is he killing me? Is he not killing me? You're like, oh, here it is. Huh? I can't hear any of it.
You got to put your mic on and put it close to the thing. Big Matt's weight's been poked fun at at Boomer. Yeah, yeah.
This is like the – Okay.
All right, so I think he's bringing something up that I don't think he should be bringing up. Okay. Yeah. Seems like nothing really there. You know? Hey, can you get me a Bo Nix jersey? Did he ask you for that? You know, he asked me for a lot of things. I haven't seen him in a very long time, Anthony Gallo. I will rise with the Lord. Wow. He will rise with the Lord.
