Yankees May Have Already Buried Boston’s Playoff Hopes
Podcast: Evan & TikiPublished On: Mon Aug 31 2026
Description: The Yankees may have slammed the door on Boston’s playoff hopes, but the Rays are suddenly creating a new problem. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate whether the Yankees have effectively locked up the top wild-card spot, why Tampa Bay’s bizarre late-game wins feel dangerous, and whether the AL East race is truly over. They also revisit Aaron Boone’s controversial lineup choices against Boston, David Cone seemingly predicting Elliott Ramos’ three-run homer moments before it happened, and the bigger problem with MLB replay. The hour closes with a debate over position players pitching in blowouts and whether baseball is eventually headed toward a mercy rule.
