BD4

Two consecutive series wins for the Yankees puts them back in first by a game and a half. The Yankee bats exploded on Sunday and a big part is in thanks to The Captain, Aaron Judge. We talk about Judge's historic season, the September roster crunch, some keys for October, Carlos Rodon, and more!

It was an impressive series for the Yanks, taking two from one of the better teams in the American League. Some good pitching from both the rotation and bullpen in this series (sans Tuesday), while the bats remain red-hot. Aaron Judge is hilarious. Juan Soto is awesome. And the others continue to contribute. We talk Jomboy's Boone interview as well. Also, what do the Yankees need to do to win it all this year? And with who on the roster? All that and more!

There was very little offense produced from the Yankees in this series. It was horrible and some changes should've definitely been made to improve that but weren't. However, this bullpen is so bad that it took over most of the conversation in this show. Clay Holmes and the rest of them. Boone doesn't help. Cashman sucks. The usual. Yanks lose two of three to Detroit. Let's talk!

**AUDIO ONLY**

The Yanks took two in Chicago but should've swept. We talk Judge & Soto, leadoff, the Yankee youths, Jake Cousins, Dodgers DFA Amed Rosario, and more.

It should've been a sweep, but the Yankees settle with two of three over the Rangers. The starting pitching looked strong, but the bullpen struggled badly. Costly mistakes from Aaron Boone on Saturday lost them one. However, the lineup has been extremely hot lately. Judge has gotten some protection. All that and more in Episode 700 of BD4!

This is becoming such a difficult group to root for. I don't find these guys very likeable with the amount of excuses and unprofessional mistakes we continue to see. We talk about this O's series, get into the yearly Clay Holmes topic, rip Boone some more because he deserves it, and talk roster construction & player development. All that and more!
