Anthony Rizzo Exposes the Pressure Crushing the Yankees

Anthony Rizzo offers a revealing look at what it feels like to walk into the Yankees’ pressure cooker. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to Rizzo admitting the intensity hit him immediately after his trade to New York and debate whether that pressure helps explain why the Yankees so often come up small in the biggest moments. Rizzo also pushes back on the idea that every Yankees season should still be labeled World Series or bust.

Rizzo then identifies Luis Arraez as the type of contact hitter the Yankees need, sparking frustration over why such an obvious fit has repeatedly been ignored. The conversation also touches on Joel Embiid calling himself an easy target after Mike Breen’s report involving LeBron James.
