Podcast: Evan & Tiki
Published On: Tue Mar 24 2026
Description: On the eve of baseball season, Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the excitement, confusion, and anticipation surrounding Opening Day in New York. From the Yankees’ strange final spring schedule to the Mets’ long layoff, they break down what actually matters before the games count and why this time of year still hits differently for fans starving for meaningful sports. They also bounce through the kind of arguments that make sports talk great, including draft credibility and media influence, Justin Fields’ unusual career path, fantasy-style player comparisons, Babe Ruth folklore, and whether classic games still hold up when you already know the ending. It’s a sharp, funny conversation about fandom, memory, and why the return of baseball changes everything.
