Good vibes? Is that ok? The Yankees won their second consecutive series after taking an impressive two of three vs. a tough Texas Rangers ballclub. The pitching continues to shut it down. We briefly go over the staff top to bottom. You got some of the vets showing life of late at the dish. Is Volpe is starting to come around? We also got some discouraging Judge news, as well as some confusing news about Josh Donaldson. And, we have to once again discuss how egregiously awful the Yankees' fundamentals are. Overall, a solid series, though. Let's talk!

56:53 Outro

This was on it's way to being a very solid sweep against the M's, or even a decent two of three had the Yankees at least lost tonight's game with grace, instead of insulting their fanbase. But in peak modern Yankee form, they did. Domingo German gave up ten runs in three innings while the infield kicked the ball around the diamond (again). The Yankees look like tee-ball toddlers this month. After Fenway, I was humiliated to be a fan of this sewer trash product, but now the second-hand embarrassment is kind of turning into amusement if I'm being honest. We also got some incredible, never-dull, always-exciting-and-accountable interviews from Hal & Cashman this week, as they continue to make (definitely not tone-deaf) comments to the press. Let's chat about this third-place team, shall we?

Brutal! The Yankees need to figure something out ASAP or else their playoff chances could actually shrink significantly. We go over the Red Sox series, discuss the state of the team, the lineup, Cashman's philosophy, the construction of the roster around Judge, and more! All hope is not lost (yet), but there is certainly reason to be pessimistic on this team right now and going forward.

As soon as Judge goes down with another injury, the Yankees lose their next series. The White Sox came to town and took two. I still think the Yankees are able to whether the storm this month, but we go over the series and discuss both potential outcomes for the month of June without Aaron Judge. We also rant a bit on Cashman, talk about pros and cons of the pitching staff recently, Randy Vasquez, Sevy, and more!
