Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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.
Chapter 2: 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...
Chapter 3: 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.
Chapter 4: 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. Yeah, I mean, I think that a lot of it is just bad defense. I don't even think it's so much so like the miscommunication. Obviously, Simeon and Robert Jr. in center field with the play you were alluding to, that was a bit of a communication issue.
But some of these others are just individually bad. bad defensive performances, which really needs to clean itself up. Now, the run prevention thing that David Sturge was talking about involving Pete Alonzo, I mean, I think that was, as we've seen, more of an excuse than anything else to say, like, oh, this guy was so bad defensively at first base. They didn't want to bring him back.
There was a clubhouse issue, and they weren't giving him five years. That was the bottom line. I don't think he's not a Met because of his defense at first base.
No, I don't think so either.

Chapter 5: How does Boomer feel about players wearing ski masks during games?
I do like the A's colors, though. Do you? Yeah, I heard Al talking about the Raiders uniform. Mm-hmm. There's something about the A's. Now, they obviously mimic the Green Bay Packers, but there's something about their uniforms that are really cool. I got A's colors on today. I know you do. Well, I don't really. Yeah.
now later it's the boomer and geo podcast from wfan all right boomer and geo on the fan and cbs sports network on this chilly thursday morning a couple of baseball games last night that didn't work out for our locals jerry is here to tell us about that and more goodbye Good morning, Jerry. Good morning. Brought to you by Chef IQ. Precision cooking. Effortless results. ChefIQ.com.
Yeah, it was not an offensive explosion of a night at Yankee Stadium. Matter of fact, rather quiet. 2-2 into the late innings when the A's took the lead.
One out. Runners at second and third. Floater. Set high and deep to right center field. Playable for Grisham. The runner at third. Kurtz tags. He's got good speed. He walks home. Langelier is the runner at second. He tags, goes to third. And the A's take a 3-2 lead on the sack fly by the veteran Brent Rucker.
And that was Dave Sims with the call. 3-2 would be the final score. Yankees had four hits total. They struck out. 14 or 15 times. They lose to the A's 3-2. Rooker with that. Sackfly was hit off of David Bednar, who really pitched himself into a bit of a mess. Did a pretty good job to only give up the one run. Jeff McNeil, a couple of hits, including an RBI single.
Will Warren allowed two runs over, four and two-thirds. Here was Warren. What made the night a bit tough for him? I think their plan is just to put pressure and put the ball in play. And so, a lot of foul balls. Not going to chase out of the zone and stuff. So... I just need to do a better job of putting him away quicker. Don't throw wild pitches. That doesn't help. That did not help.
And while I know we don't hear from Aaron Boone often, I think in this case, no, no, no, only because Ryan McMahon went 0-3 last night. He's now batting .077. And he was getting booed. And he's getting booed, understandably so. And Boone was asked about the struggles.
Mack's a good major league hitter. It's 10 games in. Okay.
So, chill out is essentially what he's saying. McMahon was very directly asked about batting 077. Off to a slow start.

Chapter 6: Why is Evan Roberts frustrated with the Mets' free ticket initiative?
Oh, that's funny. That's a man of substance right there. I will tell you, so the SID for Rutgers basketball, this kid Chris Corso, used to be in PR for the Vikings and worked very closely with Cousins, like swears by him. He's like the best human being he's ever known. Yeah, that's why the Raiders got him. The dawn to the oiled duck. Yeah, he is. The most refreshing type of man.
Listen, hard to argue, isn't it? Irish spring, baby. I can't argue it. I'll give you, you got the Masters starting today, first round. This was either yesterday or the day before, Bryson DeChambeau. So he's, I'm so confused by these 3D printers. He's printing his own golf clubs? Five iron.
Yeah.
Just a five iron. How is that legal? How does that conform? Well, they'll test it before the... They'll take a look at it.
Yeah, they'll look at it.
They'll look and see if it's legal or not. A couple years ago, they took Rory's driver away from him. No, I know that, but that was a driver made by whatever big company. He's in his basement printing clubs. Yeah. He's odd. He also... Every club is the same length, too. He has that. Fair, but anyway. Here he was. He was asked at this stage of his career, is he starting to do too much social media?
Has there ever been a time when you've said, well, I'm spending too much time on YouTube?
Yeah, I'd say, man, especially when you play with guys like Bob does sports, I'll tell you, it's tough to keep going along with those guys. No, I'm kidding. I love them. These guys are all over the place.
Yeah, well, I think that he, Bob, asked for that.
