On the first-ever episode of BXB, WFAN's Sweeny Murti and Keith McPherson break down the Yankees' series loss to the Angels, including concerns about Gerrit Cole and Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who both faltered in the series finale. Plus, reasons why the Yanks will or won't collapse and concede the division, and why the 1996 team offers some hope that the 2022 Yanks will turn things around. Finally, why Aaron Judge should be the MVP, and why his season should be enjoyed and appreciated regardless of what is happening to the team around him.
