Locked On Yankees - Daily Podcast On The New York Yankees

The New York Yankees essentially had the same roster in 2023 as they did in 2022, but they finished 17 games worse. What went wrong? Stacey and Steve discuss everything that went wrong for the Yankees, from Aaron Judge’s injury to Nestor Cortes turning into a pumpkin and everything in between. When the roster only has three regular players + the bullpen performing at a high level for an entire season, the team cannot overcome the failure of the other players, including Carlos Rodón, Luis Severino, Giancarlo Stanton, and IKF. Then Stacey and Steve discuss the playoffs and the Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays being swept in their Wild Card Series. The Minnesota Twins won their first playoff series since beating Oakland in the 2002 Division Series and will face the Houston Astros in the Division Series. The Texas Rangers marched into Tampa and embarrassed them, and their reward is the Division Series against the Baltimore Orioles. And finally, Stacey and Steve talk about the current playoff format. Do they prefer the Wild Card Game or the Wild Card Series? And is it okay to celebrate winning a Wild Card Series? Find out their thoughts.

The New York Yankees are having an offseason audit to find out what went wrong in 2023 and what can be done (if anything) to fix it. Captain Aaron Judge has some ideas. Stacey and Steve discuss this “audit” and the confusing language surrounding it and try to figure out what the heck the Yankees are talking about. Do we agree with what Judge has revealed about what he’s looking to change about how the Yankees do things and what else can be done? Then, some Yankees players in the Majors and Minors won some awards this week. Clay Holmes picked up the AL Reliever of the Month for September, which was a nice surprise but shouldn’t have been a surprise because he did perform well during the last month of the season. So good for him, and it makes Stacey and Steve a little more comfortable with seeing him emerge as the Yankees’ full-time closer in 2024. Then Minor Leaguer Drew Thorpe, star of many Minors Monday segments, won pitching prospect of the year. Past winners include Andrew Painter, Grayson Rodriguez, and Tyler Glasnow (who did it twice for the Pirates). Not too shabby. Thorpe also made the first All-MiLB Team. Danny Watson, a reliever for Somerset, made the All-MiLB Second Team while pitching to a 1.48 ERA in Hudson Valley and a 1.64 with Somerset. And finally, we talk about the playoffs. Jordan Montgomery pitched a gem against the Tampa Bay Rays and Texas is up in that Wild Card series 1-0. How did Stacey feel watching Monty? Find out by watching the show!

The New York Yankees have no more baseball to play, but Locked On Yankees isn’t stopping!

Then, they discuss how strange it is for the Yankees to be out of the playoffs. How does Stacey, the lifelong Yankee fan, really feel about it? Is everything okay? And what are the pros and the cons for the players who are used to playing deep into October? What’s it like for them to be off now? How much does it change their preparation for the following season? And finally, Stacey and Steve predict the playoffs. Who’s winning the WC series, who’s making it all the way through to the World Series, and who’s winning? Their answers may surprise you. Feel free to leave your predictions below.

The New York Yankees ended the 2023 season with a dud of a series against the Kansas City Royals, losing two out of three games and finishing with an 82-80 record, their worst since 1992. On Sunday, Michael King had a rough ending to the season, giving up four runs in four innings, including three home runs. The Yankees dropped their season finale 5-2. On Saturday, the Yankees won behind the offense of Gleyber Torres and the kids. Clarke Schmidt made his final appearance of 2023 and departed after four innings. Frankie Montas made his 2023 debut and picked up the win because, of course, he did. On Friday, Carlos Rodon ended his 2023 campaign in the worst possible way, not recording an out, exiting the game in the bottom of the first, and ending up with eight runs credited to him. Yikes. He also turned his back on pitching Matt Blake when he came out to the mound, which caused a whole kerfuffle/brouhaha, and the Yankees pitching coach and manager Aaron Boone had to talk about the incident. So did Stacey and Steve. Should this be a permanent mark on Rodon, or should we just chalk it up to the frustrating end of a frustrating season for the lefty? Then Stacey and Steve tell you about some Minor League Awards that Yankees prospects won (so far) in the offseason. Expect some Triple-A awards to be given out in the coming days.

The New York Yankees couldn’t complete the sweep against the Toronto Blue Jays and dropped the series (and season) finale in Rogers Centre, 6-0. Chris Bassitt silenced the offense, and the Jays offense finally woke up after being silenced for 20 straight innings by Yankees pitching. One bright spot for the Yankees was Yoendrys Gómez, who made his debut and pitched two scoreless innings with four strikeouts. Then, we reveal our final bold prediction results and declare the season’s winner. And it’s Fanmail Friday. We answer questions about Estevan Florial, Gerrit Cole, Austin Wells, and more. Also, who will be rooting/pulling for in the playoffs, and which matchup do we want to see in the World Series? And finally, we give our thoughts about what we’re looking for in the year's final series against the Kansas City Royals.

The New York Yankees defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 6-0 behind a strong pitching performance by American League Cy Young frontrunner Gerrit Cole, who pitched a two-hit, complete game in the Rogers Centre to finish his 2023 season with a 2.63 ERA. It’s the time a Yankees pitcher has led the American League in ERA since Rudy May in 1980. And on the offensive side, Aaron Judge had another two home-run performance in Toronto (he also had an infamous one in May) to help lead the Yankees to victory. It is interesting that the two best players on the team combined forces to get a big win to get the Yankees to 81 wins, which guarantees at least a .500 season. It also guarantees a season series win over the Blue Jays. Then, they discuss Bob Klapisch’s article about the Yankees ‘audit that will be happening in the offseason. (link is down below) The Yankees have hired an outside company to audit their processes—everything from trades to international draft picks, scouting, and the minor leagues. Should be interesting what they find but Steve and Stacey discuss what they think about the audit and if it will actually do anything to change things. Then they preview the series' final game in Toronto between Luke Weaver and Chris Bassitt.

The New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays thanks to the heroics of a rookie. This time, Austin Wells broke a 0-0 tie in the top of the ninth with a two-run home run off Jordan Romano to give the Yankees a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. After Clay Holmes shut the door in the bottom of the ninth, the Yankees won the game 2-0. There were the typical Yankees issues, like the offense being silent for most of the game against Kevin Gausman—they were held hitless for five innings before Estevan Florial finally got a hit. On the flip side, while not as strong as he was the last time out against the Jays, Michael King held them to one hit in six innings of work. We discussed his outing. The Yankees also had a chance to score in the seventh inning but kept Giancarlo Stanton on the bases after he hit a double, and he was thrown out at home after not scoring on a single in the previous at-bat. We discuss that mystifying decision and wonder why Boone didn’t bring someone in to pinch run for him. Then we talk about an article in The Athletic (linked below) about the robot umps. We discuss the system and wonder if it could actually work in MLB and also wonder if the umps would even go for it. And finally, we preview the Gerrit Cole/Jose Berríos matchup. This will be Cole’s last start of 2023, and we wax poetically about the season he’s had.

The New York Yankees won their last home game of 2023 against the Diamondbacks 6-4 on Monday, and the kids were a big reason why. Stacey and Steve discuss the win and how Austin Wells, Anthony Volpe, Oswaldo Peraza, Estevan Florial, and Everson Pereira all contributed. Peraza and Wells hit long home runs, and the kids were why the Yankees rallied for three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to take a 6-4 lead. Clarke Schmidt only pitched four innings (he’s tired y’all), and Clay Holmes picked up his 22nd save of the season. Then, Stacey and Steve discuss Aaron Judge’s comments about the Yankees, their direction this offseason, and how he wants to help the team move forward and improve for 2024. We have thoughts. And finally, we preview the three-game series in Toronto and make our last bold predictions for the season.

The New York Yankees split the first two games of their series with the Arizona Diamondbacks this weekend, and thanks to a rainout on Saturday, there will be baseball in New York on Monday. On Friday night, Aaron Judge went ham and hit three home runs for the second time in a month and led the Yankees to a 7-1 victory. Luke Weaver threw five and a third shutout innings for the Yankees, and Jhony Brito added three and two-thirds innings of one-run ball. On Sunday, the Yankees couldn’t get anything going in a sloppy, rain-filled game, and Carlos Rodon pitched six and one-third innings but gave up five runs (three earned thanks to the sloppy play), and the Yankees were officially eliminated from playoff contention. Then it’s our last Minors Monday of 2023. We discuss Somerset and Hudson Valley’s eliminations a little more in-depth, we talk about how Scranton finished things up, some players were named All-Stars, AND we tell you who will be in the Arizona Fall League. Then, we preview Monday’s game between Merrill Kelly and Clarke Schmidt.

The New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 to salvage the final game of their three-game series. Gerrit Cole bounced back from an iffy five-inning outing against the Pirates to throw eight innings of one-run ball on Thursday night. He also struck out nine and possibly nailed down the AL Cy Young Award. Stacey and Steve talk about that. Plus, Jake Bauers got the scoring started with a three-run jack to put the Yankees up 3-0 early, and Estevan Florial and Aaron Judge added RBI doubles to give the Yankees five runs, which they would need because of a not-so-great start to the ninth inning from Clay Holmes and a couple of not-so-great throws from Gleyber Torres. In sad news, the Somerset Patriots’ season ended when the Binghamton Rumble Ponies eliminated them on Thursday night. The offense didn’t show up in the two-game sweep, but friend of the show Richard Fitts had a strong six-inning start with eight strikeouts. Then, it’s FanMail Friday! Stacey and Steve answer questions about possible free agents, Kim Ng possibly becoming Yankees GM, the antiquated facial hair policy, and more!
