Caitlin & Gabriel look back at the week that was as both teams try to dig out of their early season slumps. The Phillies are surging while the Mets continue their maddening one-step-up, two-steps-back routine. Could A.J. Ewing be the spark the Mets are looking for? Gabriel has a softball epiphany, while Caitlin urges fans to give Crawford time to develop. The main segment asks when it's okay to shut the game off, and the two relive the improbable comebacks they missed by leaving early. The Rivalry Corner revisits the 1969 Miracle Mets, and Death itself lands on The Chopping Block.00:00 Intro & Catching Up03:08 Look Around the League11:17 Phillies Week in Review21:33 Mets Week in Review30:24 Amazin' Take: A Rec Softball Epiphany38:33 Phitin' Words: Give Crawford Some Time41:46 Main Segment: Tuning Out & Leaving Early53:24 The Rivalry Corner: 196901:02:32 The Chopping Block01:07:09 Looking Ahead: Predictions and Key Players

Caitlin's pumped for playoff hockey and basketball, meanwhile Gabriel couldn't care less about the Knicks and used to rock an Iverson jersey, so no fireworks there. They recap both teams' weeks before Caitlin makes a call for Philly fan unity and Gabriel sounds off on the Mets' gimmicky home run celebration. The pair also tackle one of baseball's great moral dilemmas: if you snag a ball at the park, do you keep it? The Rivalry Corner heads to 1968—the Year of the Pitcher—Dan Uggla lands on the Chopping Block, and the two close it out with a Mother's Day send-off.00:00 Intro + Look Around the League15:22 Phillies Week in Review20:53 Mets Week in Review30:57 Phitin' Words: Philly Fans Unite!38:13 Amazin' Take: Enough with the gimmicks42:58 Fan Etiquette: Are You Keeping the Ball?56:03 Rivalry Corner: 196801:02:43 Chopping Block: Dan Uggla's Legacy01:05:41 Picks and Predictions for Upcoming Games01:11:09 Mother's Day Wishes & Baseball Memories

Two managers were fired this week, but only one between Philly and Flushing. Gabriel & Caitlin react to the firing of Rob Thomson and what his legacy in Philadelphia ultimately looks like. They zoom out with a quick Around the League check-in: another dugout shakeup with Alex Cora, thoughts on the “Ohtani Rule”, and a quirky ABS at-bat.From there, they dig into the sheer ineptitude of both squads during their losing streaks, Gabriel’s officially DONE with Kodai Senga, and the pair debate which fan base is handling the losing worse. The Rivalry Corner looks back at 1967, Michael Harris lands on the Chopping Block, and they close with the X-factors that will decide the week ahead.00:00 Intro + Reaction to Topper Firing09:40 Around the League: Cora Fired, Ohtani Rule, ABS19:39 Wrap-Up and Future Outlook22:50 Phillies Lowlights & Highlights of the Week27:58 Mets Lowlights & Highlights of the Week37:42 Phitin' Words: Toppers Gone!41:58 Amazin' Take: Senga, GTFO47:29 Comparing Fan Bases and Their Responses56:00 Distractions from Other Sports57:33 Rivalry Corner: 196701:01:19 The Chopping Block: Michael Harris01:05:36 Looking Ahead: Upcoming Series and Predictions

Both teams are off to rocky starts, so Caitlin & Gabriel weigh the merits of running it back versus blowing it up and whether it even matters. They dig into sloppy defense, managerial complacency, and whether either roster has what it takes to turn things around.
