Marc "Moose" Malusis's "Call of the Day" focused on the highly anticipated Major League debut of Mets' pitching prospect Jonah Tong. While Moose expressed optimism, rooting for a brilliant start to add "more energy" to the team, Hoff took a more cynical and fiery approach. Hoff predicted that Tong would struggle, arguing that "disaster always plays better" in sports radio and that it's unrealistic to expect Tong to replicate the stellar debut of fellow rookie Nolan McLean. He boldly forecasted a rough outing for the young pitcher, predicting a line of four and a third innings, four runs, and three walks.
