Inside The Mind Of D. Scott

Has the Yankees offense finally figured out that doing the little things at the plate actually helps you win games? Do they finally have the correct approach at the plate? More importantly, will they stick with it?

Let's talk about it.

Thanks for checking out the show, hope you enjoy!

I'm trying really hard to not get ahead of myself but are The Yankees actually better that we've given them credit for, for most of the season? It's been frustrating, yes, but all things considered and with Judge and Stanton (done for the season) not being in the lineup for a huge portion of this year, they have the 2nd best record in the AL.

Yes, the offense hasn't been what we hoped for. But the pitching is stellar, the bullpen is insane, and the offense has given them enough production to win games. They currently have 74 wins. Sure, it hasn't been ideal and key guys haven't stepped up like we hoped, but they've still managed to win more ball games than you would think....especially with the way we ALL talk about them. Don't get it twisted, I'm not happy with the production we've seen at the plate but winning is winning.

Let's talk about it. They just swept Baltimore and took 2 out of 3 against Toronto. Plus they won the season series against The Blue Jays.

Ok, let's get into this weeks show! Hope you enjoy it!

If you're a Yankees fan or know one or two, please share this podcast with them. It's a pod done by a life long Yankees fan about the Yankees.

Saw a quote that said that the Yanks won't win a World Series because their defense is bad. That's only partially true. However, the team's defense isn't the issue or the reason they won't win a WS. The defense has actually been pretty good as of late minus a hiccup here and there. The team's issue is poor preparation and poor fundamentals. I talk about it in the episode so that's as far as I'll take it in the description.

Let's talk about coaching, the little things that aren't done and some other stuff.

Want to get going? Me too....

Hope you enjoy the show.

The lack of being able to pivot as a team is frustrating. Their lack of offense is frustrating. The lack of urgency is frustrating. Their terrible coaching is frustrating. Their lack of fundamentals is frustrating. Minus a few guys on the team, they're just frustrating!

So I ask, is this who The Yankees are at this point? Do we as fans have them built up as something they aren't trying to actually be? Let's talk about all of that on the show this week.

On the positive side, George Lombard Jr. has been called up and from the looks of things so far, his defense is exactly what we were told it was. His offense will continue to improve!

Let's get to the show!

Hope you enjoy it and thank you so much for listening.

Another week, another episode of me basically repeating myself about The Yankees and their offensive flaws. So, who do I blame? Listen to the episode and find out.

Trade deadline is almost here and there really doesn't seem to be much to be hopeful about. Skubal went to L.A. and I talk about that. It's crazy to hear what the ask was from Detroit when they were talking to The Yanks. Especially when you see what they got from L.A. - Yes, I talk about that in the episode too.

Thank you for listening to me grow increasingly frustrated week after week with this team! I truly appreciate everyone that spends time with the show.

A lot to cover in this week's show. From going to a Sox/Jays game at Fenway, to trades that need to be made to the lack of communication by MLB to The Yankees on a "rules change" and more.

No need to type out a bunch of stuff here in the description when you can just listen to what I have to say. Let's do it!

What do I expect from The Yankees for the rest of the 2026 season? Let's talk about it.

I'll get into what I feel needs to be done with the team. Moves that need to be made with the roster and the coaching staff/front office.

Enough typing, let's talk Yankees baseball!

Let's chat about the ups and downs of the 1st half of 2026 season, shall we.

What I liked about it, what I didn't like about it. I can tell you this, it felt a lot like many seasons past under Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman. Yes, I get into that on the pod, so you'll have to listen.

That's jump in and talk Yankees baseball.

It goes without saying that Aaron Boone will not lead this team to a World Series Title. But it's deeper than Aaron Boone. Changes need to be made in the front office. Cashman needs to go. Boone needs to go. Honestly, I think Hank and Hal need to go as well. The franchise seems to be ok with being a "middle of the pack" type of team. The urgency that we saw earlier this season is gone. The accountability is gone. The team is back to being ok with just being ok.

Let's get into the rant from a Yankees fan perspective. It's a rant that I think, we as fans, are all feeling at this point in the season.

Let's talk about some Yankees baseball.

From All-Star voting to Contreras being a clown in Boston, to the "Yankees suck" chants in Beantown to Will Warren having 4 bad starts in a row.

I'm going to talk about it all.

Let's jump into it!
