    On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys break down the Mets’ stunning tailspin that led to the firing of Carlos Mendoza, debating whether the club was doomed from the start with the hire and if Mendoza was simply in over his head.


    They then take a look back at the last decade of the MLB Draft, focusing on the highs and lows of No. 1 overall picks. From the disappointing 2016 draft to the loaded 2019 class, the boys have some fun redrafting the top selections with the benefit of hindsight.

    In the spirit of Father’s Day, the boys celebrate some of the greatest father-son duos in baseball history, which somehow leads them into what they’re calling “Lollipop-Gate.” They debate whether Jazz Chisholm was in the wrong for sucking on a lollipop while playing Monday and whether baseball still takes itself too seriously.

    Jun 17 2026

    On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys discuss the early All-Star voting ballots and numbers and the often-ridiculous nature of the process, debating whether fans and media should rethink how baseball’s biggest stars earn their spots.


    With trade deadline chatter heating up, the boys also rattle off the names they believe should be completely off limits in trade talks.


    They then dive into Spencer Strider’s latest injury, comparing his career arc to Jack Flaherty’s and discussing how injuries have reshaped both pitchers. Is this the beginning of the end for either? And has Atlanta’s reputation for continuously developing elite pitching started to slip?


    The boys also play a game of temperature checks, each selecting four teams and deciding whether their fan bases should be “Concerned,” “Panicked,” or have “No Worries” now that there’s a better picture of who these clubs truly are.


    They round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner, where Market Movers’ Nick Green joins the Hobby Huddle to discuss the latest hobby trends and what’s new in the Market Movers world.

They break down what Skubal looked like on the mound and what his return means for Detroit moving forward.


    With the trade deadline rapidly approaching, the boys also debate which teams should buy, sell, or stand pat, examining the biggest decisions facing contenders and pretenders across baseball.


    Tired of hearing about the “Hall of Really Good,” the boys settle the debate their own way by drafting a starting squad of players who were great enough to be remembered—but not quite Hall of Fame worthy. Which roster comes out on top?

    Following that, the boys bring back the Forgotten Series, this time spotlighting former MLB star Shawn Green. From his rise as a five-tool talent and one of baseball’s smartest players to his success as a proud Jewish athlete and his life after baseball, the boys take a deep dive into Green’s underrated career from start to finish.

    The boys then dive into the Cubs’ brutal 9-game losing streak, debating whether Chicago’s hot start was fool’s gold and if the club is beginning to show it may not be built to win the NL Central after all.


    With Memorial Day week marking the unofficial quarter point of the season, the boys hand out their quarter-season awards, including MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, and Manager of the Year, while comparing the results to their preseason predictions.
