Mics picked up Giants manager Bob Melvin's entire NSFW tirade towards the umpire
With Logan Webb on the mount in the fifth inning for the Giants on Tuesday night, home plate umpire Tony Randazzo accurately called a low sinker for a ball. Yet, he turned to the Giants dugout to tell manager Bob Melvin to stop barking about balls and strikes.
Randazzo then said, "That's it!" And he ejected Melvin. That was when the chaos broke loose, and the microphones picked up almost every word. (Warning: The video contains strong language)

Melvin got right in Randazzo's face and demanded that the umpire call a consistent zone. "You're killing us," Melvin said. He went on to tell Randazzo that he was "(expletive) better than that."
Again, the call that set Melvin off there was correct. But the Giants manager was still fuming over a missed strikeout call on Patrick Bailey.

And despite those fireworks from Melvin, Randazzo had a solid performance behind the plate. According to Ump Scorecards, he accurately called 143 of 149 taken pitches (96 percent accuracy). And he was perfect on called ball accuracy.

Melvin might have been a bit harsh there.

New York Giants 'pleased but not satisfied' with John Michael Schmitz
The New York Giants are hoping that center John Michael Schmitz takes a huge leap in his third professional season. The 2023 second-round pick out of Minnesota had an overall grade of 61.4 from Pro Football Focus last season, ranking him 35th out of 64 NFL centers. The Giants need Schmitz to be more, especially in pass protection. Giants offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo was asked where he believes Schmitz is heading into Year 3. "We saw a big step from him last year, and I think there's more to go," Bricillo told reporters on Tuesday. "I think the one thing people don't realize, he comes from a Big Ten program established in Minnesota, but they still get stronger. He's only 25 years old. He hasn't reached his peak of strength yet. He cares. He's going to keep working and improving his body, which then in turn, hopefully helps him to be a little bit better football player. "But I see a player that's a little more filled out physically and has a little bit more experience. Another year under his belt. So he's done everything we've asked and we're pleased, but my line is 'pleased but not satisfied.'" The Giants don't have much recourse if Schmitz doesn't take that next step. They currently have veteran Austin Schlottmann and Jimmy Morrissey in camp. Right guard Greg Van Roten can also play center if needed. But the fact is, Schmitz has this season to develop. Next year, his rookie contract runs out, and perhaps his Giants' career runs out with it.

LSU football's Brian Kelly says five-star freshman is pushing to start at right tackle
With less than two weeks to go before LSU football kicks off the 2025 season at Clemson, the Tigers are still shuffling their offensive line. Some positions are set. Tyree Adams will start at left tackle, and Virginia Tech transfer Braelin Moore will start at center. Everything else is up for grabs. At right tackle, the battle is heating up. Weston Davis was LSU's clear first-team right tackle for most of the offseason, but true freshman Carius Curne is beginning to push Davis. Curne has taken reps all over the offensive line this summer. In recent days, Curne has seen his workload at right tackle increase. Kelly said the move was about creating more competition. "I think there's still a battle for that next tackle position, which would be the right tackle. So we moved Carius over there to compete with Weston (Davis) to see who's our best," Kelly said. Kelly said LSU likes the progress of right tackle Ory Williams, but it wasn't enough to push Davis just yet. With Curne at right tackle, LSU has two SEC-ready players competing. Competition has been a theme of the offseason for LSU as Kelly finally feels the team has enough depth to create a competitive atmosphere. LSU isn't afraid to play true freshmen on the offensive line. Curne has the talent and physical tools to play right away. Per On3, he was a five-star and the No. 2-ranked interior offensive lineman in the class of 2025. LSU's offensive line has produced mixed results in training camp, but Kelly still feels good about the unit.

Jets CB Michael Carter is peaking at the right time
New York Jets cornerback Michael Carter II had an uneven 2024 season. The 2021 fifth-round selection battled multiple injuries last year. Carter missed two midseason contests due to a back injury. He suffered a setback with that injury later in the season, missing two more games. Carter is back healthy and peaking at the right time. The Jets signed Carter to a three–year, $30.75 million contract extension that last September that included $13.61 million guaranteed at signing, making him the highest-paid nickel corner at the time. In Week 2 of the preseason, Carter made an instant impact that proves the Jets are fortunate to have him back healthy. Carter played just four defensive snaps versus the Giants. Though the sample size deserves consideration, Pro Football Focus assigned him an elite defensive grade of 90.4 for his showing. On a third-and-5 in the second quarter, Giants quarterback Russell Wilson completed a swing pass to Devin Singletary. Carter made this outstanding wrap-up tackle to force a punt: The Jets have Sauce Gardner and offseason addition Brandon Stephens at boundary cornerback. Carter is an elite nickel corner who helps complete the Jets defense. In just four plays, Carter reminded the fanbase of his effectiveness.
