Anthony and Dave react to the devastating news of Aaron Judge’s right-rib stress fracture and debate if this 2026 lineup has enough horsepower to survive an absence that could stretch into August.

Anthony and Dave wrap up the episode by projecting the bullpen hierarchy, looking at the heavy usage to map out what this relief staff will look like when the games matter most in October.
