The Yankees continue steamrolling every team in their path following a sweep of our favorite punching bag, the Minnesota Twins. We're on a nine-game winning streak and suddenly only four games behind the Rays for the division. One of the biggest storylines to have emerged over this recent stretch of dominance is that of the hometown hero, Andrew Velazquez. Him and Tyler Wade have electrified this lineup with blazing speed and scrappy contact hitting, completely changing the profile of the team's offense. Meanwhile, Luke Voit has gone absolutely berserk at the plate since returning from the IL, clobbering every pitch he sees and cementing his rightful spot in the starting lineup. We discuss all about what's making this team awesome to watch right now, and what to expect once some key pieces such as Gio, Gleyber, Kluber, and Sevy return to the team. One of the most positive episodes we've had all year, let's keep the good vibes rolling!
