The Short Porch

We’ve got a big week of Yankees storylines to filter through on the show. Brett Gardner is now officially a free agent and someone actually decided to pay Andrew Heaney $8.5 million to pitch for them in 2022. The Matt Olson trade rumors are heating up big time as the Yankees debate who should be manning first base next season. Brian Cashman talked to reporters at the GM Meetings and shared lots of info including the fact that he’s already contacted two free agent shortstops agents (Correa & Seager). Who do you want? We further debate. The Yankees also had scouts at Justin Verlander’s showcase and have reported interest. Luis Rojas is expected to become the Yankees next 3rd base coach with Eric Chavez also being interviewed for a position. Tommy learns what dryer sheets are as well.

To celebrate hitting 300 episodes of the podcast, we brought back one of our all-time favorite guests on the show: Joba Chamberlain! We talk with him about the Braves' World Series victory and what he thinks of the current and future landscape of baseball. He shares with us from his perspective what it was like to win a World Series title and the crazy days that followed. We also ask him about his thoughts on this current Yankees team and get some great stories about his time spent playing with veteran guys like Jeter and Arod. Finally, we wrap up the show with a long discussion on whether or not chocolate is considered candy, because we only focus on the most important issues on this show, of course. Thank you to everyone for supporting us through 300 episodes (for better or worse) and here's to many more going forward!

The World Series is upon us! Thank god we're not forced to suffer through watching the Red Sox compete in it. Meanwhile in the Yankees newsphere, according to a recent tweet from Bob Klapisch, Anthony Rizzo is reportedly eager to return to the Yankees in 2022. Question is, do we want Rizzo back or should the team look to trade for Matt Olson? Klapish also made headlines calling out the superstitious habits of Joey Gallo, which some fans thought went too far. We also discuss the recent drama between Gardy and Cole following a prank that Cole did not take kindly to. After putting it off for a few weeks, we tally up the final results of our regular season predictions to see who owes the gang dinner. Finally, we round off this long pod with some voicemails, some of which were serious while the others were most certainly not.

Our worst fears have been confirmed as the Yankees re-signed Aaron Boone to not one, not two, but THREE more years AND a club option for a fourth year. We discuss the insanity that is Cashman's iron grip on the entire organization, as well as what needs to be done to avoid having a repeat of this past season. We also answer some of your voicemails, many of which shared our frustrations with the recent news and press conference. God help us all.

The Yankees are reportedly leaning on bringing back Aaron Boone. The Red Sox are in the ALCS against the Astros. Life is hell for all of us right now. We rant how if this doesn’t embarrass the organization to shake things up then nothing will. Hubbs wants Michael Fishman and his team of nerds gone and replaced by better nerds. Tommy cannot fathom how Boone could be back. Mush refuses to believe Dusty Baker invented the high 5. We run through the Yankees arbitration eligible guys and who they should make offers to as we figure out how to fix this team in one offseason.

The Yankees followed up their massive sweep of the Red Sox in Fenway with a gigantic series W in Toronto. Robbie Ray turned back into a pumpkin on Thursday as the Yankees tagged him for four bombs. The bullpen continues to be lights out and now with the the return of Lasagna they are at an optimal level. Aaron Judge continues to mash despite a busted pinky. The Baltimore Orioles are now forever our great pals after what they did to the Sox this weekend. All of this thanks to a magical turtle named Bronxie who was adopted right before this hot streak. The Yankees are cooking, let’s take care of business this weekend and secure the number 1 Wild Card spot.

The Yankees played the Boston Red Sox this weekend in Fenway. They won every single game. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all victories where they scored more runs than the Red Sox. It was glorious, it was euphoric, it was spectacular. Giancarlo Stanton now owns Fenway Park after an unbelievable series. The Yankees are now ahead of Boston for the number 1 spot in the AL Wild Card. Sunday night’s game was ridiculous with dropped fly balls, dropped strike 3s, Tyler Wade not sliding on a caught stealing, clutch go ahead hits by Judge and Stanton, fire alarm delays. Oh yeah and our pals Joe West and Adam Ottavino had huge nights for the Yankees. We break it all down and also discuss a new way to fix baseball.

The Yankees actually did their job this week and swept Texas to pull in front of Toronto for the 2nd WC spot. It wasn’t easy, but they got it done. Gary had himself a big week to shut us up. Luis Severino finally made his return to a big league mound and he looked awesome. We break down the series and look ahead to Boston. Also we do an updated trust tree and look at our current standings for our season long predictions.
