This is why Big Mike has always been the Best. He's always objective. Still better than anything on WFAN today. Numba ☝️

Mike is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.

Spot on Mike. No bull. Straight baseball talk. No agenda. Like going to a nice steakhouse. Soothes the soul.

Can’t stand watching baseball anymore at 52 years old. I truly enjoy listening to you about baseball!

July 4th was actually Mickey Mantle’s favorite holiday. He set off fireworks late into the night most years.

Great to see Mike on this podcast. Looking forward to MLB second half and the start of the NFL season. Francesa football is around the corner.

Mike, the knicks were the best team in the league in January when Randle and og were both on the floor together.. I would like to see them go that route again.

Mike the best, then and still. Happy 4th all!

Hey Mike - Nunez has emerged as a reliable set-up guy and alternate closer. He throws strikes, is aggressive in the strike zone, live fastball and lethal off-speed stuff. Keep an eye on him.

And btw he talks chemistry og and Randle together 16 and 2. Maybe he missed that last year. Leon Rose did not

Ben Rice has been producing. I want the NY Yankees to keep him on their roster.

What is wrong with MLB and the Mets, Trevor Bauer is pitching amazing and would help the Mets out so much!

This Met lineup is deep right now

still the best big Mike

Always have time for Mike. Go Cardinals. Thinking they have to overtake the Brewers as the Mets/Padres look strong. Gil needs to be rested. Take him out of the picture for at least 3 weeks. You need him in the playoffs. July 4th is the celebration of all things good in our Republic. Speak out. Make America free and prosperous for all.

If the Mets can fix the bullpen, watch out.

I'm stuck between trading JD and extending him. I wanted JD 3 years ago because he changes culture, he's a hitting savant. Every single team needs that

Mike you're making me cry

Senga is starting rehab this week. Surprised you didn't know that

When OG and Randle were both healthy and on the floor Knicks didn’t lose they were best team in nba by far stop the randle hate mike.

Will the Yankees finally beat Medicare? I’ll hang up and listen.

i still never trust diaz in a big spot

Sean Reid-Foley will be the setup guy.

Hey, Mike! First time, long time. Do the NY Giants and SF Giants ever hang out? I'll hang up and listen.

I get Mike dislikes Randle, but if the Knicks could get a good deal back they would've traded him years ago now. He's not garnering what his production is worth on the market, and he worked really well with the team before getting hurt last year. Take emotion out of it. No real reason to think it won't work with him and he's as productive as most at his position.

His story about Bellamy and Willis Reed is, as he pointed out,was so try. Bellamy was a 7ft 20pts per game center. A star. But he slowed them down. I saw the first game after they traded him and moved Reed from forward to center. Every thing seemed to have sped up and away they went. The core, Frazier-Debucherre-Reed-Bradley-Phil Jackson ended up with 2 championships. Chemistry. There was also Dick Barnett and Jerry Lucas and Earl Monroe.

Rizzo wasn't providing much offense

Mike you make everything sound like the end of the world. It’s not that important. Are you in tears right now over the Yankees, that’s pretty sickening

Where does this notion that Randle doesn't fit in come from? Again - the Knicks went 12-2 with Randle and OG in the lineup before Randle got hurt. And, one of those losses was without Brunson. So, they were 12-1 last year when Brunson, Randle, and OG all played.

yes mike

The Yankees are all about Judge Judge this Judge that it's boring and doesn't equate to winning championships obviously

The Mets have a chance if they take advantage of this easy schedule in July ! .. It all depends on their bullpen !.. They are only 4 games behind Atlanta as well

Oh my God Mike what are we going to do

Also, Mike... Senga is already pitching in rehab games. Why don't you think he's coming back in July?

I would try to get Scherzer back from Texas. Pair him with Senga and Severino, then cross your fingers.

Yeah Knicks!

McNeil has put on weight he's starting to show his age!

Mike Russell Bufalino Francesca just made it clear regarding Randle......"either way he's goin"

I don’t agree McNeil will find it again. I think he’s just washed.

Julius might be let go in free agency next offseason.

The other day Mike said "Trade Julius and Trade Mitch" ??? Francessa may not be on top of his game any longer.

Mike you have to realize, Grimace is inevitable. The Mets WILL be buyers at the deadline and WILL secure a Wild Card spot.

Mike it always sounds like you're ready to cry and it's pretty sickening

The yanks have 3 of the 10 best players in Baseball (Judge, Soto and Cole) the problem is the rest of the team STINKS!

Mike can you get the phone line set up Richiid in Manhattan wants to talk the 1963 Mets.

Retire give the job to someone else he does not need the money he is loaded

LGM🧡💙

Mike has spoken “the Yankees are not that good”

They need to ditch Verdugo if they can get Dominguez back in the line-up if Stanton is healthy and taking up the DH role. It's not only that he isn't hitting, he's hitting into double plays and just doesn't make productive outs by putting the ball in the air. The bullpen to me is the biggest issue because there's literally nothing I like out of it. Tonkin is literally it. Kahnle is reliable but I don't see him as a high leverage guy, just a dependable arm. They need to get a lefty in the bullpen and a guy who is a defined closer. It's as simple as that. Ferguson is no different than Gonzalez. He hasn't distinguished himself as anything better than replacement level. I don't like Gil going to the pen because I don't think disrupting his development as a starter is smart and I think it strains his arm pitching more often at max effort in fewer innings. The rotation is what it is. Gil needs to fix his mechanics because we can see his arm slot dropping and that makes him get under the ball which elevates his pitches and makes his "change-up" run off of or over the middle of the plate. His follow through is off too and you see him yank a lot of his fastball when they aren't riding up. As bad as his starts have been, his outing last night featured some really good sliders which is a huge plus. Maybe he needs rest at the break because the mechanical issues really look like fatigue. Not necessarily enough where he needs to be shit down, he just needs to be nurtured during this stretch and accumulate innings at a slower rate. The line up is lmao. Im fine with Volpe hitting leadoff until after the break to hopefully correct his issues but the fact he has the third-highest OBP on the team is a joke. Wells has looked great the last few weeks with a 350 OBP or so and a 258 average. I'd like to see him get more shots hitting fifth. I wouldn't object to seeing Rice get someooks at lead off. I know that means 3 lefties in a row if Verdugo then hits sixth but beggars cant be choosers. They desperately need a corner infielder though. Third base. Depending on how Rice goes, first can be a platoon but I don't think DJ or Waldo are anything but back ups at this point. We need a third baseman who can produce runs. Hell, we need that everywhere in the infield. There's not above league average hitter in our infield. Volpe can be excused given the defensive value but it makes no sense to have corner infielders who are slugging above league average at the very least.

Hey 👋 mike. Any chance the mets sign. Giambi ? Ill hang up and listen 📞

The Open is the best major, Mike. Get out of the country once in a while and understand how the world works.

You can't make getting rid of our power forward and he all nba resume and not say who replaces that? So his diatrabe is housecrap!!!

This version of the Steinbrenners are the Jerry Jones of the East Coast. With them running the place, and their puppet Cashman with them, the Yankees will never win anything.

lol 17:28 , 23:01

I guess old Mike doesn't celebrate Christmas ? Only Thanksgiving and The Fourth of July?

The main reason the Yankees went full throttle winning games in the last three months was the mediocre teams they successfully triumphant. It's disheartening the inflicted and pitied Bombers are limping on crunches like wounded soldiers just returning from a combating war. It's time for Yankee fans to realize that our beloved team again will fizzle for the 15th time after 2009 and the Orioles win the division, let alone the mere possibility for the Yanks to win a Wild Card. The team looks lifeless and unrejuvenated, while Judge and Soto have had a monster year with their offense successes. But they alone couldn't take over the reins as saviors to rely on savaging the team's defuncting performances to head toward the postseason. Russo's on his way out as a player, Torres is sadly pitiful, LeMahieu is embarrassingly atrocious, Verdugo as the outfielder was outstanding until he injured his back from a defense play, and Volpe hasn't been the same after performing his DiMaggio's quality-like-hit streaks. It isn't worth talking about the starting and bullpen lineups only to mention that Cole needs additional rehab to get his pitching prose effective again. What it comes down to, as painful as it goes that the Yankees won't advance to the postseason because their starting and batting lineups don't have the fortitude of World Championship contenders😭. But there are positive and negative outtakes after the regular season concludes: Aaron Judge again wins his MVP accolade, and Juan Soto will leave the Bronx and be brought by an affluent owner for big bucks. (likely the owner would be the Mets' Cohen) Coming September will be 15 years since the Yankees won the pennant. Oy vey!!!!🤦🏼‍♀

He forgot NHL free agency and Wimbledon

Mike, you are clueless, alot of people who hate this country don't celebrate the 4th of July.

Mike you said Volpe will pick it up, he finished last season with a 210 average, he stinks, he already has 90 K's, the guy is an out waiting to happen. This team is not WS bound

Mike is starting to sound like Joe Biden

this remind me when mike said this must be the worst 90win yankee team ive ever seen when gary sanchez was there. Torres is another Sanchez😂😂😂. clown.

😂😂😂

Mike you have to start listening to yourself, you sound ridiculous

Hey Mike are the Red Sox and the White Sox friends or rivals. Do they have a family connection?
