What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
We have the Yankees opening up Wednesday night in San Francisco. The Mets opening up Thursday against the Pirates. It's right now kind of like the calm before the storm. But we did mention that Carson Benj will be the Mets starting right fielder on Thursday. Here was his manager, Carlos Mendoza, excited for Benj.
A moment that he will never forget. And as a manager, after delivering some tough news the past few days, sending guys down to minor leagues, it's a big day for the organization.
What are the latest updates on Carson Benge's MLB debut?
A kid that gets drafted in 2024, and two years later, here we are giving him the news that he's going to be playing in the big leagues.
And I like that he references the bad news that he has to deliver to a lot of them, too. So you're going to have, what, five new guys in the lineup?
It's a much different look, for sure.
Yeah, so it's Bichette. It's Simeon, it's Polanco, it's Luis Roberts, and Benj. Five guys. So this is the overturning of a roster and trying to support Francisco Lindor and Soto, bringing in professional players around them, adding a few young guys. Not according to Paul and Yonkers, they're not professional players.
How does Carlos Mendoza feel about the Mets' roster changes?
Well, they are. Boba Shett's a professional player, the last time I saw him. Jorge Polanco's a professional player. Marcus Simeon's a terrific player. I don't know why you're arguing with me.
I'm just saying that Paul and Yonkers... All they got is minor league. Minor league is everywhere.
Here was Benj, who is a minor leaguer, now a major leaguer. So how confident are you with this promotion?
I'd say I always had a certain amount of confidence in myself, you know, being able to...
compete with whoever it may be that i'm going up against so i feel like i've always have had had a good amount of confidence in myself good luck exactly good luck he didn't hit any home runs in spring training but does that matter no spring training does not matter right it's all about run prevention jerry whatever you say boomer now you when you played for the bengals were you ever on one of the late night shows Yeah. You were? Yeah. So that's kind of cool. You were John Letterman? Letterman, yeah. A number of times. Were you with the Bengals or the Jets?
I believe with the Bengals.
With the Bengals? So this is not quite that, but still kind of cool when you make the late-night circuit to some degree. Here is Seth Meyers, late night with Seth Meyers, discussing something that was very near and dear to us last week around here.
New York Mets broadcaster Howie Rose said he hopes to still be involved in a limited capacity because, quote, letting go of the Mets isn't hard, it's impossible. Oh, if you think letting go of them is impossible, try rooting for them.
But still kind of cool that they're talking about Howie Rose on the late night, right? That's kind of neat. By the way, that loser's a Pirates fan. Seth Meyers. Okay. So what's he making fun of the Mets for? I don't know. He's got nothing to report except for schemes. He's probably got a writer on his staff that is a Mets fan and wrote the joke.
Or a Yankees fan.
Yeah. Could be a Yankees fan, too. I mean, you hear the same thing about the Jets all the time. Yeah, but the Jets are way worse than the Mets. Way worse. I mean, the same kind of jokes. But it shouldn't be. You know? I mean, the Jets are... And the Mets have been in the playoffs a couple times the last few years. Yeah. So, not quite the same thing. But still, talking about Howie Rose. It's just the collective negativity is what he's leaning into. Weak joke, but it was Howie Rose. I thought it was cool. That's all. You will have Fried, Schlittler, and Warren as the first three starters for the Yankees in the series with the 49ers. The Seahawks give Jackson Smith and Jibgo a four-year extension, $168 million.
Now, St. John's plays Duke on Friday night, so Chad Ocho and Joe Johnson were discussing the St. John's game with Kansas the other day, and this might be one of the worst takes of how... Kansas should have defended Dylan Darling in that final sequence, and it comes from Ocho Cinco.
