It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. And we're coming to you live from the Built Ford Tough Studio. Boomer Esaias and Greg Giannotti. It's Boomer and Geo on the fan. Simulcast across the country on CBS Sports Network. And where we are, the free Odyssey app. Good Thursday morning. A ton going on. A couple of losses with the Mets and Yankees. Not a great performance by David Peterson once again. There was a little bit of both. Some hard hit balls and also some bad luck there. But that's back-to-back bad starts after a rough end to his 2025 season. So hopefully he can get back on track sooner than later. The Yankees lose a game, but a really big deal. You know me, this team is rolling. I expect them to win this afternoon.
They'll win the series against the A's and they will be fine. We are two weeks away from the NFL draft. Two weeks to the day and we got the Masters starting today as well. Good morning, Boomer.
What caused the Mets and Yankees to struggle recently?
How are you? Yeah, good morning, G. How you doing? We call this a loser Thursday because all three teams that played last night lost, including my Rangers, but at least they tried hard and at least the young guys are getting some ice time and at least they're losing, so maybe they'll get a chance to get Gavin McKenna. Okay. That's the way I look at it. So, yeah, I don't, you know, this... This Met thing, here's the thing that drove me a little bit crazy yesterday about the Mets. And I do like Mark Vientos, and I like his personality. And, you know, Keith was gushing about it yesterday during the game. I'm not sure if you saw it. Well, yeah. So he drops the ball. He drops the ball. Playing to the crowd. And by the way, they didn't give him an error.
I don't understand why they don't give him an error. The ball hit him right in the glove. He should have made the play. Now, I know that David Peterson's over there and he's probably distracting him. But, again, this goes back to the first base issue and run prevention and the problems that they've had over there. And, you know, it's...
How did David Peterson's performance impact the Mets' game?
You don't realize it until you see it on a daily basis. It seems to be pretty consistent that something's going on over there almost every game. If not every game, every other game.
What are the implications of the Yankees' recent losses?
And then he makes the catch, and then he puts his arms up to the crowd, and the crowd gives him a cheer. I love that fact of it. I mean, because he's not a first baseman, and they're trying to make him into a first baseman because he can hit, and, you know, Bo Bichette's playing third base. So who's on first, who's on third, who's hitting, who's not hitting, but yet still the infield is not great, man. The defense is not great. Yeah, I mean, and Francisco Lindor, who's been not himself defensively, because up the middle was supposed to be the thing, right? We knew that there was going to be issues on the corners in the infield. We know what Juan Soto's deficiencies are, and obviously when you see guys like Brett Beatty out there that normally didn't come up as an outfielder, he's got his struggles.
But up the middle was supposed to be the great defense, and Luis Robert Jr., who I think is still a very good defender, but there's two catches that were difficult catches that he should have made. last night, or yesterday afternoon. Lindor's not been himself. Alvarez had an error as well. So, yeah, I mean, now, I don't believe... And last week, he had Simeon drop a fly ball when Lewis Roberts should have came and got the ball. Exactly, he should have called the ball. I mean, so these things are happening now again. It's it's it's April and it's a whole bunch of new guys out there. They all have to get kind of used to each other, whether or not. And there's a trust that builds, you know, like when you say the Yankees ran it back.
It's true that you run it back with the guys that are familiar with each other. And there is something to that. The Mets running, you know, basically changing six of their starters. You're going to have issues like this. And unfortunately, these issues have popped up from time to time here now at the beginning of the season.
