The Yankees are back. I think this is much closer to the team we'll see going forward than the one we saw in the first month of the season. The bats are still hitting, and Aaron Judge went on a mission this series. We talk about Judge, the whole controversy surrounding the first two games, Domingo's ejection, Nestor's bounce-back last night, the state of the team and their division odds, and a whole lot more!

The Knicks defeat the Heat to live another day. The offense was much better in this game. I loved the quicker decision-making and the way the Knicks got out and ran a lot more than they've been doing recently. Thibs did some things in this one that frustrated me, and also made some choices that I enjoyed. We talk about a lot!

The Yankees hosted the Double-A Athletics this week for three and picked up their first series sweep of the season. The offense seems to have finally broken out. Aaron Judge is back, many guys are heating up, the pitching remains solid, and Sevy is close. Also, we go off topic for a few minutes to check in on some bats around the league that I really wanted Cashman to pick up this past offseason. Lastly, Tampa is next. It'll be a big one, so we do a bit of a preview on that series to conclude this episode.

It seems to keep getting worse and I am really not that shocked, but at the same time I am. How? With the way the Yankees roster is constructed, they have both a high ceiling and low floor. That is how. In this episode we discuss that issue, the lineup problems, Cole's awful Sunday, Boone's bullpen management, Bader's surge, an unusual player comp, and a lot more.
