Episode Notes
The Yankees are striking out at a historic rate, but Evan argues that their biggest problems run much deeper. With Aaron Judge’s return uncertain and flaws throughout the roster, he makes the case for an aggressive trade deadline swing: acquire Tarik Skubal and build a rotation capable of carrying New York through October.
The conversation also covers Cody Bellinger’s baffling baserunning, Will Warren’s struggles and why home runs still matter more than strikeout totals. Plus, Mets fans share stories from a wild, rain soaked loss that somehow became an unforgettable night at Citi Field.
