Yankees Waste a Pitching Gem as Volpe’s Challenge Goes Viral  
Podcast: Evan & Tiki
Published On: Thu May 21 2026
Description: The conversation shifts from Knicks strategy to a wild mix of Yankees frustration and playoff anxiety, as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to a rain delayed night in the Bronx, a packed Yankee Stadium, and a tight loss to Toronto. They spotlight Cam Schlittler’s strong outing, Trey Yesavage’s performance, and the tiny decisions that shaped a low scoring game. Evan and Tiki also dig into Anthony Volpe’s brutal challenge, the growing importance of the automated ball strike system, and why players need better situational awareness before risking a review. Then the Knicks return to the center of the show as fans debate whether to cash out bets, hedge against heartbreak, or embrace Evan’s idea of emotional insurance with a potential NBA Finals run in sight.
