Lindor Opening Day Optimism vs Reality
Podcast: Evan & TikiPublished On: Wed Feb 11 2026
Description: The discussion opens with how MLB teams handle injury timelines and expectations. David Stearns insists the Mets expect Francisco Lindor to be ready for Opening Day, while other organizations take a much more conservative approach. The guys compare Lindor’s situation to Corbin Carroll and Jackson Holliday, whose season will start late after surgery, with Orioles GM Mike Elias flatly ruling him out for Opening Day. Is this honesty, gamesmanship, or simply different philosophies on setting expectations? From there, the conversation shifts to the Knicks and the growing backlash against Karl-Anthony Towns. Why has he become the ultimate lightning rod, and why did even the MSG broadcast turn on him? With pointed criticism from Mike Breen and Clyde Frazier, the segment breaks down the nonstop complaining, bad fouls, and whether Towns needs to play more physically to change the narrative.
