In Episode 101 of Chase for 28, Chris and the Podcast Padre return with a heavy dose of Yankee frustration and food-for-thought—literally. After enduring the Yankees' slump (including a brutal seven-game skid), they break down recent performances, share their firsthand experience from a night at the Audi Club, and vent about Anthony Volpe’s inconsistency at the plate and in the field.

This episode isn't just rants and raves—it’s stats-backed. The duo dives deep into Volpe’s numbers, Domínguez’s uneven production, the potential long-term plan for Cody Bellinger at first base, and whether Aaron Judge might ever pull a Mickey Mantle and switch positions. Add in listener shoutouts, trivia, and a nostalgic look at Yankee greats, and it’s another packed edition of Chase for 28.
