Well, the Yankees walked away with a split in Toronto this past weekend. It's a disappointing series for sure, but considering how bad this team has looked, you live with it for now.

We talk about those issues, as well as analyze the surprising production from the infield lately, the rotation concerns, Gerrit Cole's encouraging start, Ben Rice's promise, and lots more.
