Gerrit Cole and Tyler Glasnow were electric on short rest. Aaron Judge went yard off the best reliever of 2020. The Yankees’ and Rays’ bullpens went toe-to-toe. But it was Mike Brosseau taking Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman deep that was the difference. We break down everything Yankees-Rays Game 5, where the series went wrong for New York, what the future looks like constructed around this current core, and more on an instant-reaction R2C2.

Gary Sánchez on Catching CC and Becoming a Vet

CC and Ryan break down the minor league baseball rule changes and CC shares how he would’ve handled them if they went into effect while he was still playing. Plus: why it’s ridiculous to expect the Nets to be title or bust, whether New York can ever become a Mets, Jets, or Nets town, and what the last year has taught us about our own resilience and senses of optimism.
