After dropping the first two games, the Yankees were able to salvage the series with a blowout victory on Wednesday. Overall, the bats are in a tough spot. We discuss the problems with the offense like Franchy Cordero and Willie Calhoun, the sustainability, the Yankees' front office complacency, and also some positives like Judge, Torres, and Volpe. I also get annoyed at the whole "win series" thing, and give some thoughts on the Yankee starters this series. NYY-NYK-MMA Question of the Day: True...

The Knicks win again! Loser Cleveland seems like they've conceded. In this game, the Knicks were huge on the offensive boards. We start with that. The defense was also very high quality from the perimeter to the back line. Also, I loved the way the Knicks ran halfcourt offense in this game, generating points through Brunson & RJ through different screen actions. We talk about it all!

That was boring. The Yankees scored five runs in three games against the Blue Jays to drop their first series of the season this weekend. There were some positives in the pitching staff with Cole and Clarke, and DJ LeMahieu continues to look strong, but questions now loom. Can the feeble Yankee bats continue to be carried by a beat-up rotation? Will the lineup start producing more? Will the Yankees look to improve outside of shopping at the bargain bin? Lots to cover in this ep! NYY-NYK-MMA Ques...

The Knicks came out much stronger in Game 3 with a huge win at The World's Most Famous Arena.

One down! The Knicks defeated the Cavs in Game 1 Saturday night behind excellent all-around play. The defense played very physical against Cleveland's frontcourt. I loved what we got from Brunson. Josh Hart is Jesus Christ. And the way the Knicks were able to make great reads on both sides of the ball was also key. So much to discuss from this one.

After dropping the first two games of the set, the Yankees rebounded nicely this weekend to split with Minnesota in the Bronx. While the bats weren't as consistent this series, Yankee pitching absolutely solidified themselves as elite with some fabulous efforts (outside of Thursday obviously). We talk about the underrated pitching, go over some hot bats, cold ones, injuries, Peraza, and then later discuss something I think the Yankees should address soon.

Four series in a row to start the year! The Yankees haven't hit a big streak yet but are playing solid, steady baseball. Their pitching has been much better than most expected (told you), and their bats finally broke out this series.

The Yankees look good right now. Solid. They continue to win series with their third straight to start the season after two of three in Baltimore this past weekend. The bats are steady, Stanton and Judge are hitting. Is Cordero is the new Carpenter?

That's now 4-2 after taking another home series. The Yankees will head to Baltimore next, but before they do that, we reflect on this week's set against the Phillies. Things remain solid on the offensive end. The Yankees are starting to get some very hot (and maybe promising?) hitting from two guys I want to pinpoint in this episode. The pitching's also been very sturdy. In addition, Donaldson is hurt, Volpe's struggling, Cole looks like a Cy Young candidate, The Jonas Brothers are frauds, and A...

The Yanks are back! And they looked pretty solid early on against the Giants. It's a difficult series to evaluate too much because the Giants are a pretty underwhelming ballclub, but I liked what I saw mostly. I thought the Yankee lineup was very typical, the pitching was mostly good outside of a few arms, and Anthony Volpe is already an exciting player to watch. We pick it all apart right here!

R.I.P. bums. The Knicks beat the loser Heat last night at The Garden. Grimes came to play again, and the bench, led by Quickley of course, was tremendous.
