Hour 4: Evan and Tiki Fix Tanking While MLB Manager Drama Explodes

The show dives into the fallout from Alex Cora’s firing in Boston and the ripple effects it could have across Major League Baseball. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate the stark difference between how Red Sox and Phillies players reacted to losing their managers, what that says about clubhouse culture, and where Cora could land next. The conversation also shifts to the Yankees, Aaron Judge’s championship pressure, lineup frustrations, and trade deadline possibilities as New York continues its hot stretch. Later, Evan and Tiki stumble into a passionate debate about tanking in professional sports and pitch a radical idea to eliminate fans rooting against their own teams. The discussion turns into a full blown sports philosophy session with creative draft scenarios, rivalry fueled rooting interests, and why leagues may be misunderstanding the real problem with tanking in the first place.
