Listen Now

It was another great weekend for your New York Yankees, taking 3 of 4 in Chicago. Giancarlo and Judge stay red hot while the entire pitching staff keeps on rolling. The only question is where our confidence in Aroldis Chapman is going to be in October. Nestor Cortes Jr. continues to amaze, shutting down the White Sox lineup on Sunday with ease. Can he start the All Star Game at this rate? Maybe Cy Young consideration? It’s time the world recognizes this man. The guys hand out and takeaway pinstripes while also share some news about the pod and what’s to come. Barstool at the Ball Park is this Saturday, make sure to buy your tickets and come hang. Outro song: "Fall For You" & "Urban Sunset" (Both via APM Music Library) Producers Note: Sincere thanks to everyone who has listened to the pod over the last few seasons. You all have a bigger impact than you think. Thank you Hubbs and Tommy for bringing me on to the show as an intern in 2019, Marty for joining us, and Avery and Noah for production help over the years. Been a pleasure working on this show. Thank you. - TJ

The Yankees continue to roll, sweeping the Blue Jays in their two-game series and further extending their lead in the AL East race. Aaron Judge is on an absolute tear right now, crushing a walk-off homer on Tuesday and putting himself at the top of the HR leaderboard. Aaron Hicks on the other hand, can go kick rocks because we're SICK of seeing him repeatedly being placed in the leadoff spot and do absolutely nothing. We also discuss the current state of the division, as the Red Sox are a complete mess and the Orioles are playing surprisingly well given their expectations. Finally we share our current bullpen trust trees, which was honestly tough to rank considering how dominant the pen has been so far this season. Outro song: "Flash Ride" (via APM Music Library)

Nestor Cortes Jr. is a gift from the baseball gods and he never fails to amaze. Nasty Nestor pitched 7.1 no-hit innings against the Rangers on Monday, further cementing his status as the team's current ace. In other news, Rangers manager, Chris Woodward, is one of the biggest crybaby losers in the league after whining about Gleyber's walk off home run being helped by the Yankees' "little league stadium" (despite the fact that it would've been a home run in 26/30 MLB ballparks). The Yankees also became the first AL team to reach the 20-win mark, while the Red Sox look like they legitimately might be sellers at the deadline with how bad they are right now. Vibes continue to be sky-high with this team, ever upward. Outro song: "Magnetic Power" (via APM Music Library)

The Yankees' winning streak finally came to an end Wednesday night, but not before the Yankees secured the series victory against the Blue Jays. We also saw Aaron Boone lose his mind at the umps, very reminiscent of the "f-ing savages" rant. Everything has been clicking for this team, with even guys like Gleyber beginning to hit their strides again. Finally, Tommy gives his take on the young fan who received an Aaron Judge home run ball from a Blue Jays fan who caught it, and how the entire thing was insanely overblown. Outro song: "Higher" (Instrumental Mix) (via APM Music Library)

The Yankees continued to employ their new strategy of not losing this weekend by sweeping the Royals. Aaron Judge is back to playing like a full blown MVP and it’s awesome. Aaron Boone is a managing like a guy who knows these early games are important. The Yankees are winning in a lot of different ways, but Sunday stood out to Hubbs and Marty. Michael King is actually the best reliever in baseball. Vibes are sky high. We end the show revealing our fourth edition of ‘Earning Your Pinstripes’. Outro song: Pretend B (via APM Music Library)

The Yankees took care of business against the Guardians and the O's, winning 6 straight to cap off a dominant homestand. Anthony Rizzo has officially been crowned the King of the Short Porch after hitting 3 HRs on Tuesday and becoming the current MLB HR leader. DJ and Judge are both on hot streaks and the pitching remains stellar. Right now this team looks phenomenal and there's truly not much to complain about for once. Finally, we discuss the mysterious letter that, to the dismay of Red Sox, Astros, and Mets fans, revealed absolutely nothing about the Yankees being involved in some major cheating scandal. Outro song: "Sunny Skies" (via APM Music Library)

The Yankees had themselves a great weekend sweeping the Guardians and getting an ace-like start from Gerrit Cole. DJ continues to remind us how hurt he was last year by hitting everything in sight. Fans in the outfield caused chaos after Gleyber’s walkoff on Saturday by throwing trash on the field at the Cleveland players. IKF might actually be just what this team needed. Amazon Prime games stink. Chad Green has to stop getting put in high leverage spot. Michael King is absurdly good. Nestor is the best and has gained super powers. We break out the 3rd edition of ‘Earning Your Pinstripes’ where Marty reveals he almost got arrested for suspected terrorism. All that and more on today’s show. Outro song: Tropicana A (via APM Music Library)

The Yankees won the series against Detroit, but it definitely wasn't a victory to feel good about. Gerrit Cole failed miserably once again, this time having the worst start of his career, lasting only 1.2 innings after loading the bases walking the bottom of the Tigers' order. Something is mentally wrong with Cole and we think the only solution is for him to come on the pod and have a group therapy session with us. Joey Gallo continues to be an absolute disaster at the plate, seriously making Yankee fans wonder if he should just be cut from the team. The final game of the series saw the internet blow up at Aaron Boone's decision to intentionally walk Miguel Cabrera despite him being one hit away from 3,000. If you're mad at the Yankees intentionally walking Miggy, despite it CLEARLY being the correct play, you can go pound sand. Finally, we discuss the reemergence of guys like DJ and Sevy, and how good it is to see them play consistently. Outro song: Sunny Skies (via APM Music Library)

The Yankees scored runs in three innings combined all series vs Baltimore has they drop 2 of 3. It’s bad. The worst team OPS thru 10 games in 30 years. Joey Gallo and Gleyber have no idea what to do. Friday may have been the most unwatchable game in history. There were bright spots. Jose Trevino needs to play more. Nestor Cortes Jr. is a marvel. Michael King is lockdown. We break it all down and reveal the 2nd edition of ‘Earning Your Pinstripes’. Outro song: "Stare - Instrumental" (via APM Music Library)

Vladdy Guerrero Jr. strolled into Yankee Stadium Wednesday night and blasted not one, not two, but THREE bombs into the night. Stop pitching to this man. Gerrit Cole was better than his Opening Day start, but still not ace-like against this Jays lineup. The Yankees fought back, but Stanton’s fly ball just missed being a homer. We listen to John Sterling’s whiff of a call and have our hearts sink more. We praise our God Nestor Cortes Jr. for being awesome. Hubbs addresses Aaron Hicks productive few games. We reflect back on how cool flip-up sunglasses were growing up as kids and how they just made you play better. Clayton Kershaw was pulled from his perfect game after 7 innings with only 80 pitches thrown and it’s an embarrassment to the sport. Hubbs’ girlfriend may be a jinx at Yankee games and TJ was left off Dave’s hate list. All that and more in today’s show.

The Yanks took the first series of the year, winning 2 of 3 vs. Boston. Rizzo and Stanton shined all weekend, while the bullpen really stepped up. Ron Marinaccio made his MLB debut and won us over. There are some problems, mainly Joey Gallo and Aaron Hicks. What are these guys doing? Is IKF a bad shortstop? Gerrit Cole blamed his poor start on Billy Crystal which didn’t sit well with us. A fan on Saturday took our breath away. Marty doesn’t believe the word ‘ovation’ should be spelled how it is leading to an outrageous moment. Also the long awaited debuted of ‘Earn Your Pinstripes’ really took on a life of its own. Outro song: Snap, Party, Pop (via APM Music Library)

A good day and a bad day in the life of a Yankee fan. The good: the New York Yankees are 1-0 after a walk off win off the bat of Josh Donaldson, to beat the Red Sox on Opening Day. The Bad: the Yankees failed to extend Aaron Judge, and he will play the rest of this season with uncertainty about his future. Just another emotional rollercoaster day in the life of a Yankee fan. It feels so good to have the Yankees back in our life. Hubbs, Tommy and Marty break down the day, and take a look at the rest of the weekend. Outro song: Rising Sun (via APM Music Library)

The 2022 MLB season is just two days away and we're here to give our full season preview for the Yankees, as well as recap the entire offseason to see how the team stacks up against the rest of the AL East. We also discuss recent news such as Greg Bird somehow returning to torment us, and how Higgy has suddenly decided to become Barry Bonds. To close out the episode, we continue our annual tradition of predicting random stat categories to see who owes the rest of the gang a nice dinner by season's end. Turns out we didn't learn anything from last year, as we once again struggle to comprehend how a snake draft works. Outro song: Monsieur Delon (via APM Music Library)

Brian Cashman delivered one of the most tone-deaf quotes we've ever heard, effectively blaming the Yankees' WS drought and all of his failures as GM on the Astros' cheating scandal. We got so frustrated by what he said that we felt compelled to give our immediate reaction in this impromptu mini episode of the pod. We also talk about baseball games being broadcast on the Amazon Prime streaming service, and how watching games with huge delays is a nightmare for those who cover games. Outro song: "Backpacking The World" (via APM Music Library)

In this loaded episode of the pod, we discuss topics such as Luke Voit's departure from the team after being traded to Slam Diego, Brian Cashman getting absolutely humiliated by the Minnesota Twins after they signed Carlos Correa, Aaron Judge's free agency looming with seemingly no extension in sight, and many more. Feels good to actually have a lot of baseball news to talk about for once. Outro song: "Tempo Vision" (via APM Music Library)

The Yankees re-signed Anthony Rizzo to a 2-year deal, leaving us to wonder how much better this team currently is compared to last season's. For Brian Cashman to have spent $258 million in order to put THIS team together, shows how much of a pathetic GM he truly is. The Yankees are also dealing with drama surrounding guys on the team like Aaron Judge, who are subject to being ineligible to play in home games due to the NYC's ridiculously stupid vaccine mandate which makes zero sense for athletes playing an outdoor sport like baseball. We also have former Yankee and 7-time All Star, Matt Holliday on the show, where he talks about his time with the Yanks, his take on the Astros cheating scandal, and his new journey coaching his son, Jackson. Outro song: "Dirty Neon Lights" (via APM Music Library)

The Yankees pulled off a crazy trade out of nowhere, sending Gary Sanchez and Gio Urshela to the Twins in exchange for Josh Donaldson, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and Ben Rortvedt. We share our instant reactions to the news and try to wrap our heads around what the heck just happened.

After weeks and weeks of watching the MLBPA and team owners go at it with no end in sight, we may FINALLY be close to the end. During this episode's recording session, we react live to Jeff Passan's tweet about the International Free Agent draft being agreed upon, one of the final barriers to an agreement being reached and ending the lockout. In other news, we discuss the defensive shift being banned, a pitch clock being implemented, and larger base pads being used, all starting in 2023. Lastly, we talk about what we think some of the worst words in existence are, which we realize there are quite a few of. Outro Song: "Supercharger" (via APM Music Library)

After months of failed negotiations between the MLBPA and team owners, the season has officially been delayed, with the first two series of the year cancelled at the very least. On top of that, Rob Manfred continues to show why he will go down as one of, if not the, worst MLB commissioners of all time with an embarrassing press conference in which he literally laughed at the current state of baseball. Baseball fans deserve better and seeing Manfred treat the whole situation as a joke is nothing short of a slap to the face. Besides that, we discuss the prospect of guys like Bryce Harper playing in Japan should the season be postponed, and whether or not Marty's "miraculous" non-stick pan actually works. Outro song: "The Edge" (via APM Music Library)

This week, we actually have a real interview! Our pal, Mike King, joins us to talk about his thoughts on the lockout, his freak finger injury involving dumbbells, and how hard he's been trying to switch jersey numbers. We're also joined later in the show by Mike's sister, Olivia, as she shares with us what it was like creating Mike's walk-out song and having her work played at Yankee Stadium.
