The New York Yankees are heading to Chavez Ravine to face off against the Los Angeles Dodgers this weekend and they made some roster moves before the series begins. Most notably, Oswaldo Cabrera was sent down to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Carlos Rodon was placed on the 60-day IL. Other moves include Giancarlo Stanton, Josh Donaldson and Tommy Kahnle being activated for the LA series and lefty Matt Krook being sent back to Scranton before ever entering a game. Then, Stacey and Steve...

The New York Yankees dropped a tough one in extra innings, 1-0, to the Mariners to finish the series taking two out of three in the Emerald City. It was a game full of good pitching and defensive gems. Clarke Schmidt had his sharpest outing of the season, and he’s done well in his last three starts. The Yankees offense, which had exploded for 30 runs in its previous three games, was shut down by George Kirby for eight innings and only had three hits the entire game. They loaded the bases in...

The New York Yankees take the second game in Seattle 10-2 behind an okay start from Nestor Cortes and an offensive explosion led by Isaiah Kiner-Falefa’s four RBI. Aaron Judge hit another home run (of course) and Anthony Volpe hit a three-run shot. Cortes was fine but he was pulled after five when his pitch count hit 101. We discuss his issues so far in 2023 and wonder if he can turn things around. And speaking of that. Can Oswaldo Cabrera turn things around? We do a deep dive into his...

The New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners, 10-4, on Monday night thanks to an offensive explosion led by Aaron Judge, Willie Calhoun, and Jake Bauers. Yep. Judge was doing Judge things, hitting two home runs, nearly hitting a third, and robbing Teoscar Hernandez of one late in the game. Jake Bauers had himself a good night hitting two doubles, and Harrison Bader hurt his hamstring, legging out a single in the third inning. He’s getting an MRI on Tuesday. Domingo German pitched okay in...

The New York Yankees won the weekend series against the San Diego Padres. The big news on Sunday was Anthony Rizzo’s neck injury. Is it serious? Aaron Boone says no but Stacey and Steve don’t quite believe him. Losing Rizzo could be a big loss for the Yankees so let’s hope that doesn’t happen. They recap the rest of the series and briefly discuss Gerrit Cole’s up and down start on Sunday. Cole may want the calendar to change soon because May has been awful for him. It’s Minors Monday! Steve...

The New York Yankees dropped their series to the Baltimore Orioles with a 3-1 loss on Thursday night. The offense couldn’t get anything going against Kyle Gibson who went seven innings and only gave up two hits. Clarke Schmidt pitched okay and was hurt by his defense and some shoddy umpiring causing him to throw more pitches than necessary. Speaking of the umpiring, Aaron Boone has had enough of it and got ejected for the fourth time this season and for the second time in the past two weeks....

The New York Yankees blew a 5-1 lead, and a combo of Nestor Cortes, Jimmy Cordero, and Albert Abreu gave up eight runs in the top of the seventh inning to give Baltimore a 9-5 lead, and they’d go on to win the game, 9-6. Stacey and Steve discuss the meltdown inning and wonder how it could have gone so wrong so quickly. The game had some positives, like Gleyber Torres’s two home run performance and IKF’s home run and triple, but the game turned into a clunker thanks to the pitching...

The New York Yankees won an exciting game on Tuesday night against the Baltimore Orioles. They had to come back twice, down 4-0 and 5-4, to win 6-5 in 10 on an Anthony Volpe sac fly. Does Volpe have a chance to be in the running for Rookie of the Year? We discuss it. Plus, Gerrit Cole had a rough outing, and he surrendered two more home runs and nearly gave up a third. What’s going on with him? We discuss it and try to determine if/what Cole can do to change things. Aaron Judge had another...

We’re just over a quarter into the season and we are grading the New York Yankees! We grade the offense, the defense, the starters and the bullpen. Plus, we grade Aaron Boone and the front office. Steve and Stacey graded the team a week in so find how the grades changed (or if they changed). Then Steve and Stacey pick their best and worst Yankee moments of the season so far. Will you be surprised by their choices? It’s the start of a new series which means it’s time for hot, cold and heating...

The New York Yankees completed a sweep in Cincinnati over the Reds with a 4-1 win on Sevy Sunday. Luis Severino made his triumphant return to the Yankees rotation and it was a boost. Speaking of boosts, Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo each had a good series in Cincy and Rizzo once again broke Reds’ fans hearts. We discuss the sweep and we talk to Jeff and Steve of Locked On Reds about certain aspects of the weekend between the Yankees and Reds—like the managers and their ejections—And it’s...

The New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 4-2 on Thursday night to win their series three out of four. The star of the series was Aaron Judge (naturally) who hit a first inning home run and nearly hit a second one in the sixth (he missed it by inches. He finished the series 6-14 with four home runs and tonight’s home run was his 32nd against Toronto in his career. Nestor Cortes looked a lot better in this start and he lasted six innings and gave up two runs. The bullpen came in and...

The New York Yankees lost to the Toronto Blue Jays, 3-0 in 10 innings, thanks to a walk-off home run by Danny Jansen. The game was pretty quiet leading up to that moment as both teams’ starters and relievers shut down the offenses for the first nine and a half innings. Gerrit Cole pitched a gutty six innings with six strikeouts against Chris Bassit, who lasted seven with seven strikeouts. Stacey and Steve wonder if Aaron Boone made a couple of questionable decisions in this one and discuss...

The New York Yankees defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in the second game of a four-game set, 6-3 and boy was it eventful. Stacey and Steve take you through the craziness of Tuesday’s contest which included rare home runs, monster home runs, sticky stuff, and coaches yelling at other coaches like school yard bullies.We dissect the allegations of cheating against Aaron Judge and how it has all snowballed. We discuss the sticky stuff situation with Domingo Germán and how this will affect the...

The New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-4 in the opener of a four-game set. And speaking of openers, the Yankees used one on Monday night! Jimmy Cordero who opened for Johnny Brito, Cordero pitched two perfect innings and Brito pitched five and ont-third innings before running into trouble in the eighth inning but that was partly because of a Gleyber Torres error. On the offensive side Aaron Judge had a big night and we discuss that. Is he back? It sure does seem like it. The...

*Editors note* Apologies for Steve's audio. It will be fixed for tomorrow's episode and moving forward. The New York Yankees had an interesting weekend against the Tampa Bay Rays. Ultimately they would split the four-game set but there were a lot of things to be happy about and some things to be confused about. The Anthonys, Rizzo and Volpe had nice offensive performances, as did Aaron Judge. Wandy Peralta can be called upon to close two games in a row. Then you have Gerrit Cole grinding...

The New York Yankees lost to the Tampa Bay Rays 8-2 on Thursday night in the first game of a four-game set. Stacey and Steve discuss the game’s performances. Domingo Germán pitched well enough but the offense couldn’t get anything going against Drew Rasmussen and then the Yankees bullpen blew up and the Rays ran away with it just like they’re running away with the AL East. It’s Fanmail Friday and Stacey and Steve answer your questions (Remember: you can leave questions in our comment section...

The New York Yankees completed the sweep against the Oakland A’s on Wednesday. The bats have come alive and just in time for their series against the Tampa Bay Rays which begins Thursday night at the Stadium. Stacey and Steve discuss the Yankees chances in this weekend’s four-game set against the Rays. The Rays may have taken two of three last weekend in the Trop but there are a few reasons why you should be optimistic about the Yankees heading into this weekend. Stacey and Steve aso recap...

The New York Yankees won their second game in a row, and Clarke Schmidt pitched through six innings for the first time in his career! So they are guaranteed a series win and will go for the sweep on Wednesday. We discuss the highlights of the game, including the big third inning when the Yankees scored five runs. We talk about the impact of having Aaron Judge in the lineup and how it helps the Yankees. Also, Tuesday was the first time Harrison Bader and Judge were in the lineup together all...

The New York Yankees were powered by a couple of unexpected hitters in their 7-2 victory over the Oakland A’s on Monday night; Oswaldo Cabrera, who hadn’t hit a home run since April 21, and Aaron Hicks, who hadn’t hit a home run since September 2022. DJ LeMahieu and Gleyber Torres also went deep in a ‘must win’ game (and series, let’s be real) for the Yankees in a game against old friend JP Sears. Nestor Cortes lasted five innings and had a better start than his last outing and the bullpen...

The New York Yankees lost two out of three to the Tampa Bay Rays in Tropicana Field this weekend and Gerrit Cole had his first dud of the season BUT Harrison Bader was hot hitting two home runs, a triple, he drove in seven and he played out of his mind. Will this be how Bader plays all season? We discuss it. Plus we discuss whether or not the Yankees should give up on trying to win the AL East now that they’re 10 games back of Tampa. And it’s Minors Monday! The Yankees system had a great...

The General manager of the New York Yankees Brian Cashman talked to the press before Wednesday’s game and Stacey and Steve discuss some of his comments and wonder if he’s right about what he said when it comes to how the 2023 Yankees are performing so far. He also spoke of needed depth so we check in on the guys who were traded away last season to see how they’re doing. Plus, Stacey and Steve answer viewer questions, name who’s hot, cold and heating up and preview the pitching matchups in the...

The New York Yankees won a series after losing three straight thanks to a 4-3 win over the Cleveland Guardians in 10 innings. But of course, because it’s the Yankees, there were injuries and weirdness during the game and the action really didn’t get started for the Yanks until later in the game. The hitting hero of the night—aside from the walk-off hero Jose Trevino—was WIllie Calhoun who hit his second homer as a Yankee to put them on the board and the game-tying single in the ninth. Jake...

The New York Yankees have let Anthony Volpe play in the Major Leagues for a little over a month now. Stacey and Steve discuss: was it the right move? How has he played in his first taste of the Majors? Has he done enough to stay up in the show? Plus! The Yankees defeated the Guardians on Tuesday to even the series thanks to another strong outing from Gerrit Cole and a late game rally keyed by Volpe, Anthony Rizzo and others. Then, the duo previews the finale of the series. Subscribe on...

The New York Yankees blew a game late to the Cleveland Guardians and lost 3-2. Was it the worst loss of the year? So far, yes! Does this team miss Aaron Judge? Yes! Stacey and Steve discuss how his absence is affecting the team and give our suggestions as to who shall step up in his place while he’s recovering on the IL. Then we discuss Monday night’s nightmare loss in which Domingo German pitched the game of his life (literally) and had it erased by Clay Holmes, who couldn’t close the game....
