Sal Licata Podcast

Sal goes back and forth with Marco Balletti about who they want gone from their respective MLB teams as they also reminisce on their times together on the overnight show on Sal's last week before going to work with Brandon Tierney. 

Sal describes the Yankees offense without Aaron Judge, but remains optimistic that the Yankees will still make the playoffs despite the injury problems. Sal also talks about Steve Cohen and his upcoming press conference. Hour 2.

Sal talks about the terrible loss in the Yankees first game on a 6-game road trip against the MLB's worst Oakland A's. He also talks about the Mets win against the Brewers but things still look bleak for the Metropolitans. Hour 1.

Most other teams would sign for what we consider a disappointing Yankees' season. Would a Mets coaching change actually accomplish anything? Should the Knicks pursue Khris Middleton? Hour 3.

Sal wonders why the Mets are so soft and why it appears that they lack accountability. Can they turn the season around? If not, will Steve Cohen be forced to make a change? Hour 2.

The Mets seem to lack accountability and that needs to change for things to get better. Hal Steinbrenner does not have the pulse of Yankee fans. Also, will the Knicks make a move ahead of the draft? Hour 1.

Teams shouldn't pay running backs but the Giants can't win without Saquon Barkley. So, what should Big Blue do?

Sal is upset about the Mets apparent lack of accountability during what has been a tough season.

Will the Knicks do anything interesting during the draft? The Mets are pathetic, and Hal Steinbrenner proved he is out-of-touch with the Yankees fan.

Tuesday night is why you can't overreact to one game. Logic somehow tells us two conflicting things about the Mets. Plus, callers show Sal some love knowing he only has a few overnights left. Hour 3.

Sonny Carton aka "Basketball Jones" previews the Knicks offseason. Plus, Aaron Judge masks a lot of Brian Cashman's mistakes. Hour 2.

Sal says I told you so when it comes to the Yankees and the Mets then addresses his move to middays and breaks down the Mets' inconsistency. Hour 1.

Aaron Judge helps cover up a lot of flaws with the Yankees roster. When he's out, they get exposed.

Sonny Carton aka "Basketball Jones" previews the Knicks offseason. Should the team consider trading Julius Randle for Zion Williamson?

The Yankees (in a good way) and the Mets (in a much less positive way) proved Sal right with their play on Tuesday night.

Sal won't be fooled by the Mets after one good game. We don't need to see Justin Verlander honored for winning a World Series with another team. Plus, can a Mets fan feel safe in Philadelphia this weekend? Hour 5.

Will the Mets still be alive in mid-September? Sal loves Tommy Pham. Should the Knicks go after Draymond Green and how many AFC teams would be top 3 in the NFC? Hour 4.

Sal thinks the Yankees are about to get hot and quiet their doubters. Plus, the Yankees and Mets have a shockingly low number of potential all-stars. Hour 3.

Sal tries to help the Yankees by explaining how they can put together a major league lineup while Aaron Judge is on the shelf and shares an unbelievable story of connecting with a listener. Plus, callers explain attempts to spare their kids from their fandom pain. Hour 2.

Sal is a long way from believing the Mets are about to turn their season around. Do we owe Daniel Vogelbach an apology? Players have no excuse for not being able to succeed in New York. Children should root for the same teams as their fathers. Hour 1.

Sal takes a look at how the Mets and especially the Yankees will have fewer all-stars this year than fans both expected and are used to.

Sal thinks it's strange how some people choose to root for a different team than their father, especially if it's a rival.

Sal explains why, despite Max Scherzer's dominant outing on Monday, he's still not buying into the Mets turning their season around.

The Mets are a bad team and are about to be buried in the standings. The Yankees are still one of the best teams in the American League. Plus, an idea on how to fix the Mets and a bad year for the Yankees is one the Mets would sign for. Hour 3.

Sal looks at how the Mets have always struggled, historically, to achieve sustained success. Sal also asks a question about Billy Eppler and reveals which star player the Knicks should target. Hour 2.
