Hour 1: The Yankees Lose Judge as Knicks Mania Takes Over New York

Aaron Judge’s rib injury has created real uncertainty for the Yankees, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down why this setback may not be the season ending blow fans feared. With Judge shut down and a reevaluation still weeks away, the conversation turns to how long he could be out, what the best case timeline looks like, and why this roster is better built to withstand his absence than past Yankees teams. The episode digs into the pressure now facing Brian Cashman, the improved depth around Ben Rice, Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm and the pitching staff, and whether merely making the playoffs is enough for a team with division expectations. The hour also touches on Knicks confidence, a Spurs social media wrinkle, and one unforgettable caller’s story about watching Game 1 at a funeral home.
