We’re not letting them win the American League
I like this Yankees team as currently constituted.
Yankees will be lucky to take a wild card spot and will get beat up by equal to better competition
Jose caballero to the panamanian team
Jose Caballero is Panamanian and playing for team Panama 🤦🏽♂️
yankees starting pitching will be better with cole back and the young fireballer bullpen with bednar as closer will be better then what devin williams was last year which was horrible
Trade Wart #11 for an average SS
They will blast weak teams and get molested by good ones just like last year….
Ryan liking the Zekrom in the background
Steinbrenner & Cashman plan on trading Spencer Jones to the Mariners for Ken Phelps. Or to the Orioles for Ken Holtzman, Elrod Hendricks & Grant Jeffrey.
constituted as in the Yankees we trust
The word is "with." Not "wit."
How many more episodes of this podcast are we gonna rattle off the pitchers who came back fast from TJ surgery, along with the ones who took more time to regain their stuff? I've never heard "Sandy Alcantara" spoken so much in my life.
God, get some new material.
The Yankees need more guys that have a two strike approach. They need more guys to put the ball and play and less strikeouts, especially against playoff pitching.
Cole seems to be one of the most respected pitchers in the game. He deserves a ton of credit and it's nice to see other players see it
I fucking love this podcast
Mickey Rivers had that ability to read off the bat. Some of his catches he ran to the spot and waited.
Great information and analysis
The Tigers are the key to the AL. They can’t afford Skubal long term. So, either they trade him or go all in at the deadline. If they trade him, who gets him may decide the AL. If he goes to the NL, the winner of the AL East wins the AL.
In terms of what Yankees need for post-season, what about contact hitting?
