Hour 4: The Stearns Blame Game: From Offseason to Collapse

In this segment, BT and Sal engage in a fiery debate over who is to blame for the Mets' recent struggles. While a caller points the finger at manager Carlos Mendoza for his quick bullpen hooks, Sal argues that the main culprit is General Manager David Stearns. He critiques Stearns' roster decisions, including the failure to address the rotation's fragility and the botched trade deadline acquisitions, exemplified by the Cedric Mullins trade and the decision not to give Drew Gilbert a shot. The discussion then shifts to the Yankees and the perplexing handling of Anthony Volpe's shoulder injury, with both hosts questioning the organization's lack of transparency and a culture that seems to hinder player accountability and performance. The conversation also includes a brief section on NFL Week 2 parlay picks.
