Hour 4: Will the Giants and Jets Beat Their Win Totals?

**Craig Carton** (0:00)
Raise don't lose, huh?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:01)
No, they're up 7-2 in the 8th inning over the Oakland and, sorry, the A's, whatever they are.

**Craig Carton** (0:06)
Sacramento A's?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:07)
Sacramento A's.

**Craig Carton** (0:08)
Yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:08)
Liam Hicks, you remember him. I sure do. He's the left-handed catcher that the Yankees didn't need because they don't need left-handed catchers. He had another home run today. He is just absolutely killing the ball since the trade. He's got an OPS over 1,000. He's hit multiple home runs. He's just killing it for those.

**Craig Carton** (0:23)
Austin Wells has started to hit the ball, though.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:24)
That's the only thing that's making it not, I'm not flipping out because of it, because Austin Wells has been better. There's no doubt, but frustrating. They don't lose.

**Stu Feiner** (0:33)
You can't catch a team that doesn't lose.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:35)
The division is, look, if you look at the standings at the exact point, this is Mr. Positive, I wouldn't say Schill. I'm just giving you the outlook. I'm not saying this is what's going to happen, giving you the outlook.
This point last year, they were the same number of games behind the Toronto Blue Jays. They ended up losing the division, but they tied them. So they still have four games against Tampa. I am not ready to declare the division over.

**Craig Carton** (0:57)
That's such a desperate research move on your part.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:00)
How is that desperate? Because it's desperate. It happened last year. I didn't bring up something that happened 35 years ago. This team last year, You went back and looked. They were down six and a half games at this point in the season last year to Toronto. They caught them.

**Craig Carton** (1:11)
Okay.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:12)
By the way, they ended up losing because of the tiebreaker.

**Craig Carton** (1:15)
And Aaron Judge was playing.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:17)
Well, Aaron Judge hopefully will be playing in part of this. Right. Okay.

**Craig Carton** (1:21)
By the way, just get the number one wild card spot. Have games at Yankee Stadium.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:26)
I think we all can.

**Craig Carton** (1:26)
That's the only goal right now.
From a win-loss perspective. The other goals are obviously getting Bellinger Baggis or Bellinger, you know, trying to run the bases today. It's fascinating that we pay again.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:37)
Stand out again, running the bases today.

**Craig Carton** (1:38)
$30 million a year. And the recuperation process is, can you do what three-year-olds do?
Yeah. It's a little embarrassing, to be honest. Yeah. I'm not sure if we can run. I'm not sure if we can run in circles yet.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:50)
This is what.

**Craig Carton** (1:51)
We can only run straight lines.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:52)
What are we doing? That's just baseball. Yeah, I know. That's what I hate about baseball. Okay, so I don't know what to tell you.

**Craig Carton** (1:56)
That's what I hate about baseball players. You know, I can't ask my baseball player to run anything but a straight line right now. Can't pitch off anything but a flat surface. Come on, what are we doing? You're either a professional athlete or you're not. Start acting like one. You know, oh, he's making the turn, but he can't step on the bag.
God forbid that one inch is going to mess up his hamstring.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:17)
Who said that? That was me speculating. That was me speculating.

**Craig Carton** (2:20)
I went back and checked. You were right.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:22)
With whom?

**Craig Carton** (2:23)
He didn't step on the bag.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:24)
Oh no, I know that.

**Craig Carton** (2:25)
Because that one inch.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:27)
He could have just missed it. No, what if he slips on the bag?

**Craig Carton** (2:29)
Yeah.
I got a friend named Stu Feiner, completely out of shape, an embarrassment, frankly, physically. He steps on the bag when he rounds first base and he joins us now from Farmingdale. Stu, how have you been, buddy?

**Stu Feiner** (2:43)
One of the eighth wonders of the world is me going from first to third on a slap single over the second base and playing softball. Arguably, the greatest softball player ever in your life. I was phenomenal.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:54)
Stu, let me ask you a question.

**Craig Carton** (2:56)
Let me ask you a question. If we could set it up, all right?

**Stu Feiner** (3:00)
Right.

**Craig Carton** (3:02)
WFAN vs. Barstool, the winning team, whatever money gets raised, goes to the winning team's charity. Could you put together a team that didn't embarrass itself?
