The Yankees are back, but still not doing so hot. The bats kept struggling in Atlanta, while Gerrit Cole took his first loss of the season as well. Also, Aaron Judge has returned and Aaron Judge has left!
The Knicks continue their 35-year lottery curse and I am numb.
The Yankees just got embarrassed on their home field by the hated Rays this past week, and to make matters better, there may be a few more DL stints coming up. Nice!
The Yankees keep rolling! After a strong series in Atlanta, the Bombers took on the visiting Red Sux and swept them in four. Big performances from both the bats and arms helped the Yankees prevail. Gerrit Cole had his first dominant outing from start to finish. And Clint Frazier is back and on a mission to stay!
The Yankees bounced back to start the week off, sweeping the visiting Atlanta Braves at Yankee Stadium for two. The bats woke up, while the starting pitching was solid as well. Kyle & Eddie also join the show to talk about the series, the state of baseball, controversial topics, and more.
After sweeping the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards last week, the Yankees headed home for the first time this season to take on the hated Boston Red Sux and did the same. They are on fire at the moment, and it's in thanks to Aaron Judge especially, who is tearing the cover off the ball.
The Yankees went into Camden Yards and swept the Baltimore Orioles yet again this past week. Game 1 was fairly easy but Game 2 was quite the opposite, post rain delay. Gerrit Cole, Aaron Judge, Luke Voit, Giancarlo Stanton, and DJ LeMahieu all looked sharp.
The Yankees defeated the Nationals in two of three games to open up their 2020 season. It wasn't the prettiest series but it was enough to walk away feeling good.
The Yankees finally start up tomorrow! Let's talk about the euphoria I currently have and even make some predictions!
Matt C & I discuss the Yankees' upcoming season which will be very different this time around.
Spring Training is starting up! Hopefully this time we can get to the regular season without interruption, and the Yanks can do their thing.

The New York Knicks made a questionable move the other day, waiving a promising young prospect in Allonzo Trier. It has left a lot of fans confused but it was also a move that is not surprising if you've paid attention.
Baseball is coming back! It's going to be different but it's back.
The Knicks' 2020 season is officially over. Darn. Oh man. Shucks.
Still not much going on in baseball or with the Yankees specifically, but I float around some topics for future episodes. Later in the show, Police Officer Anthony Elbert & I bullshit for a little, discuss UFC, and then dive into everything that's going in the world right now.
Chuk Mozie, Leo Rodriguez, and I discuss what we've been doing during lockdown and talk about the return of certain sports.
Finally, some Yanks talk! It's been a long while since we've talked Yankees (for obvious reasons) so I thought I'd give a real update and talk about the state of the season and more!
After two years at Iowa State, Tyrese Haliburton is entering the NBA draft. The Knicks will likely have an opportunity to draft the point guard being that he isn't amongst the best prospects in the lottery. He's a safe pick who will probably be a very solid role player in the NBA.
Anthony Edwards, a combo guard from UGA, is an athletic specimen who could give the Knicks a boost in the backcourt. He's explosive at the rim and likes to shoot off the bounce. Some of Edwards' flaws seem major though. He struggles with his decision making offensively and needs to put in more effort defensively. Is he the best fit for the Knicks?
Cole Anthony is a combo guard from UNC who has elite shot creating abilities with some solid athleticism to go with it. His ceiling seems to be pretty high but some of his deficiencies concern a lot of folks.
Obi Toppin is a power forward from Dayton who really turned heads with an electric sophomore season. He would be an unorthodox pick for the Knicks, who are expected to look for a guard in the lottery, but Obi's also one of the more talented players in the draft. Go follow @mfacch23 on Twitter.
Deni Avdija is an interesting prospect to discuss. I feel as if he is a high floor guy as opposed to a player with a high ceiling. His ceiling seems to be as a high-end rotation role player who could really benefit the Knicks in terms of giving them their playmaker, but is he worth the pick so early?
Killian Hayes is a lead guard who has a knack for creating shots and thrives especially well in PnR. He has upside as both a shooter & defender too. The Knicks should seriously consider drafting Hayes if they are lucky enough to land in a good spot in the lottery, being that he would help them in many phases where they lack.
LaMelo Ball is the first solidified lottery prospect that I'm breaking down. Ball would bring an immediate improvement to a Knick backcourt lacking a playmaker of his caliber, but do the intriguing pros outweigh the concerning cons?
Redshirt prospect Elijah Hughes had a career year at Syracuse in his junior season, leading the ACC in points per game. The Knicks could benefit from his playmaking and shooting upside off the bench, but there is also some question that comes with Hughes.
FSU's Patrick Williams is an intriguing 18-year old prospect who the Knicks should take does he fall late into the first round. He's a combo forward with a lot of upside as a versatile two-way player.
Malachi Flynn is a San Diego State transfer who has a chance at being a decent backup PG for the Knicks. His lack of elite athleticism & size may hold him back some, but his smarts, defensive fundamentals, and passing ability all show enough upside to where I think he'll become a successful secondary playmaker in the NBA.
Markus Howard is a very high-risk/high-reward prospect in this year's draft, who's expected to fall late in the second round. He could bring the Knicks some scoring punch off the bench as a good shot creator, but will almost definitely hurt them defensively because of his tiny frame. Is he worth the risk?
Charleston's Grant Riller could be a potential sleeper prospect in this year's draft. He would help the Knicks address issues in both the playmaking & scoring department as an off-the-bounce scoring guard. The big knock on Riller was the level of competition he faced.
