Hour 1: Red Sox Surge Puts Yankees Under Massive Pressure

The Red Sox have erased a 15.5-game Yankees advantage with a staggering 31-5 run, and Evan Roberts is starting to believe Boston may be for real. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan, and Shaun refuses to buy the hype, predicting the Yankees are about to turn their season around and still finish ahead of Boston. The timing of Boston’s surge also puts Michael Kay in the spotlight after his dismissive reaction to Red Sox fans chanting “Yankees suck” came just as the run began. Evan and Shaun debate whether the Yankees can survive without Aaron Judge, what their next 18 games could look like, and whether Cam Schlittler’s workload should become a concern. Plus, they rip MLB’s playoff format and debate just how great Schlittler must become to meet expectations.
