Sal Licata Podcast

Both New York teams had a bad weekend but Sal says the Yankees are still one of the best teams in the American League. As for the Mets? Well, they're a bad team and about to be buried for good. Hour 1.

Sal and Omar in Brooklyn discuss the star player the Knicks recently missed out on in a trade and the one they should look to bring back to the Garden.

The Mets should have a better record based on their talent but find ways to lose like a bad team usually does. Are they going to be buried soon?

The Yankees recent struggles are not changing Sal's mind. The Yankees are still one of the top teams in the American League.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' ( subscribe here ): It's that time again, where Jonathan Papelbon makes you some money. Pap joins Bradfo to make some bold predictions, including the proclamations that the Phillies will be in the World Series and the Mets won't make the playoffs. The former All-Star closer also states he would rather watch Shohei Ohtani than Babe Ruth. It's another wild ride with Pap....

The Mets won to split the first edition of the 2023 Subway Series but the team still has a lot of problems. It's ridiculous to call for Buck Showalter or Billy Eppler to be fired. Plus, two games isn't enough for the Subway Series. Hour 3.

Don't blame Aaron Boone or the bullpen for this Yankees loss. Plus, Justin Verlander showed signs of life for the Mets. Will it be enough? Hour 2.

The Subway Series taught us one thing: the Mets and Yankees STINK. Are Mets coaches or players to blame for the mental mistakes? Plus, Marco returns and helps explain the dynamic between Yankees and Mets fans. Hour 1.

Marco Balletti is back and joins the conversation about the dynamic between Yankees fans and Mets fans.

Are Mets coaches or players to blame for the constant mental mistakes?

Sal's biggest takeaway from the Subway Series split is that both of the New York teams stink...but especially the Mets.

Max Scherzer is the person most responsible for the Mets struggles. Tuesday's win was a good one for the Yankees but it came with some concerns about Luis Severino. How should they organize their infield moving forward. Plus, MLB's handling of sticky stuff is a disaster. Hour 3.

Losing faith in Severino, life from DJ and a vote of confidence for Volpe. The Mets are paying for mistakes made years ago. Are they done in 2023? Plus, the Rangers have a new head coach. Hour 2.

Max Scherzer is done and is the biggest reason the Mets are in this mess. The Yankees proved once again they are superior to the Mets in every way. Hour 1.

DJ LeMahieu had a big hit on Tuesday night and the Yankees will need him moving forward. Plus, Anthony Volpe received a vote of confidence from Hal Steinbrenner but Sal says the Yankees should consider a slight tweak to their plan for the rookie shortstop.

Sal says there's no way anyone can argue that the Yankees are, by far, the top baseball organization in town.

Max Scherzer is cooked. He is the biggest reason the Mets failed late last season and is the biggest reason the Mets are failing this season.

The Yankees have some problems heading into the Subway Series this week and the Mets have nothing but problems. Sal wants a few Yankees off the team next year and says anyone calling for Buck Showalter's job is a fool. Hour 3.

Sal explains why Saquon and the Giants are both correct. Plus, a look at where the Mets went wrong vs. where they simply were unlucky. Hour 2.

Aaron Boone and the Yankees made too many mistakes over the weekend. The Mets are soft and failing this year because their highest-paid players are letting them down. Hour 1.

It is inexplicable that the Yankees put out a lineup for Sunday night without Giancarlo Stanton penciled in.

The Mets had another bad weekend and Sal explains why he agrees with Steve Cohen.

Sal reacts to the Yankees dropping their second straight home series, this one to the Red Sox, and has some critiques of how Aaron Boone handled things this weekend.

The Mets were swept in such a way that made all fans furious and even made some others sick. The team is not good enough but it isn't Buck's fault. Are expectations too high? Hour 3.

The Braves are winners. Their fans are not. What would Mets fans have done differently in building this team? Plus, now that they aren't a legitimate contender, what is next for the Mets in 2023? Hour 2.
