YANKEES HAVE A MONSTER ACE and it changes EVERYTHING!
The Yankees may have found something they have not had in decades… a true homegrown ace.
Cam Schlittler’s dominant start to 2026 has fans buzzing, and for good reason. From electric stuff to undeniable swagger, this feels different. Is this the rise of a must watch superstar in the Bronx?
Plus, the conversation shifts to the Mets and a major coaching question. Did Carlos Mendoza miss a huge opportunity by not benching Francisco Lindor after a costly mistake? And what does it say about leadership inside the clubhouse with Juan Soto emerging?
This is a loaded New York baseball debate you do not want to miss.

Great news and game 😮😅
Go Yankees 😅👏
Great memories 😂👏
They forgot the other dud… Joba Chamberlain
Yep, not since Ron Guidry
Mets fans are the worst all you hear about is McLean and what has he actually done? A few good regular season starts. Yankee fans are quiet about Cam S and he’s done way more than McLean pitching dominant in the playoffs.
He should be!
Because it was beyond horrible
He forgot the words…lmao
Can’t we all just get along!!!!
Same thing I thought while watching yesterday Evan. The kid is exciting to watch. Still early in his career, however but you can't help to be excited of the possibilities as a Yankee fan.
This sounds like Fox News a week into Iraqi Freedom! Mission accomplished baby! We’re going to the World Series!
If Lindor gets benched for a game, Bichette should not move to SS. He should stay at 3B and learn this new position. Put in Mauricio to play SS.
This kid is a pure stud. As long as he stays healthy he will lead our rotation for years to come.
They had one of the greatest teams of all time through the first 2 and a half months of 2022, and totally crapped it away. They show this ability every year to have a concise unit, then 💩 it up around June. Amazing vibes, but talk to me in 4 months. It means NOTHING right now.
Why do NY'ers always jump the gun every year and with every team? Every little 'high' moments get turned into 'we're the greatest team ever', and every little stretch of trouble means 'they suck!'. Let's at least get to June before declaring monster ace in the rotation. This happens every year and with every team/player and it is both hysterical and frustrating to watch every year.
Joba Chamberlin? For a short stint of greatness, until they ruined him, he was Schlittler before there was Schlittler
'Cashman hasn't developed any great pitchers'…. because the fanbase has no patience for guys to finish developing on the ML level!
If they don't start out great like Cam, they'll boo them off the field and out of the city. So they trade young prospects for "proven" commodities because the fans demand a winner every year. Why are paid sports hosts so ignorant half of the time?
Why do the reactions have to be so extreme one way or the other. I love Schlittler. I love the Yankees' pitching. I hope and pray that Schlittler makes 30 starts without a blemish and then dominates in the playoffs. But I know that the odds are against that. There will be some bad games. Just remember not to kill the kid because those games happen to everyone, including DeGrom, Seaver, Gooden, Cone, Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, etc.
When Ron gidrey came up from the miners.nHe sold out.nEvery yankee game. You're going to see that with kam…
Really look forward to his next start.
Schlitler
Gil
Schmidt
Warren
Fried
Cole
Rodon
Cam Schlittler is built different. homegrown ace can't ask for much better.
Why does Tiki talk like he needs to swallow his saliva
Where’s everyone been? He has been lights out since his debut.
As a Yankee fan, Tanaka Time, CC, and Sevvys second year were must watch for me.
Andy was one of my favorite as well. I just love a dominant lefty max is looking like our new Andy. Love that signing so much.
Does tiki know that McLean has better numbers then cam does? Granted it’s 9 starts vs 16 but to say McLean is better is hyperbolic is insane because again he has better numbers😂
better then severino ever was.. yanks haven’t developed a star pitcher since andy pettite. not sure he becomes one but if he stays healthy he has the makeup to be a star
The yankees havent developed a starting pitcher since Pettitte. and 1.5 years each of Severino and Chien Ming Wang. Everyone else has been a JAG or had succcess elsewhere. They screwed up guys like Joba, Chamberlain, the Killer B's, Kennedy and Nova got better with the Dbacks and Pirates.Deivi Garcia, ,etc.
Will warren, Gil, Schmidt, Schlittler, Lagrange, Hess, Elmur Rodriguez. Plenty of young pitchers.
Ya forgot to mention will Warren
Mets also had Thor
Red Sox have a good pitcher too. Looking forward to many of those matchups.
Don’t forget about Mariano
While it was quite short lived, the dominant years of home grown Ron Guidry were great.
