#BD4​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #mlb​​​​​​​​​​​​ #yankeesBD4 | Yanks Beat A's, Progress Report W/ Jacob P.M. (Episode 1059)

I’d love to share my story as a Knicks fan in this episode.

In a rain-shortened series, the Yanks get a loss in Cole's debut, but Judge finds it.

This is so freaking surreal to me. Let's talk about it.

0:00 Intro

0:27 Recap & Thoughts

9:44 Quick Plug

10:16 Defensive Keys

18:47 Solving The Hart Stuff

24:14 Floor Reads Vs. Blitz

25:41 Bing Bong Game Ball (Starters): Mikal

28:17 Bing Bong Game Ball (Reserves): Shamet

NOTE: The final 3+ minutes of this episode got cut off, so here’s what was discussed at the end:

Landry Shamet gets the game ball off the bench. That’s now 15 game balls total and 4 this postseason. Shamet finished with 14 points, shot 4/5 from three, and added 3 assists. Not long ago, he was at home and battling for a roster spot with Malcolm Brogdon in camp. Incredible turnaround. Broke down Shamet’s shot-making, clutch buckets, and how his ability to create spacing one pass away/manipulate gap help has been huge. His point-of-attack defense on Donovan Mitchell was also remarkable.

Also mentioned briefly but was cut off:

• This has not really been a Mitchell Robinson series.

• Not much of a Clarkson or Alvarado type series either.

• Deuce McBride has had moments, but not loudly.

• Biggest impact has mostly been the starters + Shamet… as expected for the playoffs.

• And of course… Mike Brown.

Then looked ahead:

• Knicks going for the sweep tomorrow night in Cleveland.

Ended with trivia:

• When was the last time the Knicks won 10 regular season games in a row?
