Hour 2: Stearns’ Injury Optimism, Lindor’s Opening Day Timeline, and the Karl-Anthony Towns Backlash
Podcast:Evan & Tiki Published On: Wed Feb 11 2026 Description: In Hour 2, the conversation starts with how teams across MLB handle injury timelines and expectations. David Stearns says the Mets expect Francisco Lindor to be ready for Opening Day, while other organizations take a far more cautious tone. The guys compare Lindor’s situation to Corbin Carroll and Jackson Holliday, and debate whether honesty or optimism is the better approach, including comments from Orioles GM Mike Elias. Then the focus shifts to the Knicks and the growing frustration around Karl-Anthony Towns. Why has he become such a lightning rod for criticism, and why did even the MSG broadcast turn on him? With clips and reactions from Mike Breen and Clyde Frazier, the discussion breaks down the complaints, the fouls, and whether KAT needs to change how he plays and carries himself on the court.
