The Mets blew a chance at winning the NL East in Atlanta over the weekend. Aaron Judge is still trying for the historic home run No. 62. The Yankees are preparing for the ALDS. Managers are on the go.
Lots to discuss on a new episode of “The Show” with Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman.
YES Network Yankees play-by-play announcer Michael Kay joins the guys as the first two-time guest of the podcast.
“The Show” with Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman Opening Segment:
- METS’ BAD WEEKEND/PLAYOFF OUTLOOK: Brutal series against the Braves. Mets did not do enough to bolster their lineup at the deadline. They are relying on guys like Mark Vientos to come up with big hits. Braves are built better for the playoffs. They have more hitters who can hit homers in October.
- PLAYOFF SCENARIOS/MANAGERS: What do some of the playoff matchups look like? Managers on the go like Tony LaRussa. Don Mattingly retiring. Which managers ends up where?
