The Pinstripe Podcast

This week we were kind of all over the place before we dug into the Chicago White Sox. Both of us can admit neither of us has really given the team much thought the past few years, but boy will we now! They've got a pitching staff that won't quit and the obvious energy and talent of Tim Anderson. We also touched on MLBs predictions of the next 10 World Series and thought they were pretty BS and th...

Wow oh wow, today's episode was all over the place. We talked about Yasiel Puig and the recent Yankee movement that has been happening. Additionally, we talked about the leap that Bianca Smith made for women by being hired by the Boston Red Sox and the drama that is surrounding Rachel Luba. While we were recording we got the news that Francisco Lindor was traded to the Mets along with Carlos Carra...

This week would have been a hell of a week to be a Padres fan huh? Lexi and Scotty look at the trades that Slam Diego made this week and try to understand how it was possible. They also realize how Yankee fans probably would have never made the trade because we have a connection issue to some of our prospects. With some chat about Gary Sanchez, the focus wasn't exactly on the Yankees this week. Th...

Merry day after Christmas everyone, let's get back to buisness. This week we dove right into the Nationals and what they have been doing since winning the World Series– it hasn't been much. We tried to understand what caused such a flat season, we'll get back to you when it's a skills issue. In Yankee terms, we talked about the rumors that continue to fly around DJ and the news of Tommy Kahnle goi...

So much Yankee news this week, it's like our show is actually about them! We got two different stories this week about the gap between the DJ contract, but wow don't we all just want that mess to be over. Boone had a press conference this week that talk about some pretty important things, and it was good to hear the things he was saying. Across the league, there's been a lot of motion too, with si...

As we continue our trip through the league, our stop this week is in Philadelphia to take a look at Bryce Harper and the Phillies. There is a lot to unpack here with Realmuto being one of the hottest free agents of this offseason. That paired with the recent drama around if they can afford to keep Zach Wheeler, it's hard to believe that this team just spent $330 million dollars on Bryce Harper to...

Contract tending is here and although Scotty and Lexi are not completely sure how to talk about them, they do know what it means. This week we discussed the Gary tendered contract and a few others who may or may not have received the same offer. In our team deep dive today, we traveled to Queens to check out what that other team in New York is about. The Mets are an interesting team to look at, an...

This week with the Charlie Morton signing, the Braves really showed their plan to overthrow the Dodgers in the National League, they aren't letting them sit atop for long. Scotty and Lexi talked about how effective that rotation is going to be, and trust me, it'll be scary. Our team breakdown for this week is one that no one wants to hear, but it's about the success that the Rays have had and how...

It was hard for me to want to talk about anything other than the Kim Ng hiring this week, but I have a job to do! We introduced a new segment to the show around Trevor Bauer and also talked about how we are still contractless with DJ. Our breakdown for this week was on the Baltimore Orioles, a team that neither Scotty nor myself are all that familiar with like I genuinely cannot tell you a single...

Oh yes, who doesn't love to see the downfall of our longtime enemy? Come see for yourself the fall of the Red Sox as they go through a "rebuild" after losing a generational talent. Don't worry, there is plenty of trouble for the team that rounded out the American League East this playoff run. Although their talent wasn't where they needed, I still harbor quite a bit of anger towards the team and t...

The first full week of no baseball, and we were hit with a very hard week. Of course, baseball at this time seems foolish to talk about, but it can also be a nice escape from the anxieties that we are surrounded by. Today we dove into our first team in the American League East: The Toronto Blue Jays. A young team with a lot of talent, Scotty and I dove into their starting 9, top 4 pitchers and the...

They finally did it, after many close calls, the Dodgers have successfully won the Commissioners trophy! I mean, you can look back at nearly every episode we did this year, and you can hear us talk about how they were the best team in the league, and they proved it this year. While my prediction of Rays in 7 was nowhere near correct, we got some highly competitive games. Today we talked about Game...

We've made it: the World Series is here. Of course, while we were all hoping for it to be the Yankees, the Tampa Bay Rays and the Los Angeles Dodgers have come to show us a solid series. Tied at 1 game each going into the weekend, Scotty and I are here to talk about our predictions of winners, game number, and postseason MVP. We touched on the Gold Glove finalist announcements and what we hope to...

No one wanted to see it go this way, but unfortunately, the Yankees could not pull out a win against the Tampa Bay Rays. This week we talked about what went wrong in the game that ultimately sent us home and the frustrations that we have felt from the communication coming from the front office. Scotty and I also have divided and conquered watching both the ALCS and NLCS respectively, so we give so...

The Yankees have made it interesting at PETCO! Recorded on Thursday afternoon, little did Scotty and I know that we would be having a winner-takes-all Game 5 tonight! Because of this, we talked about the games in the first half of the week and what we need to do to be able to secure this series. We discussed Stanton's offensive explosion, Cole's great playoff starts, and the prospect of Higgy gett...

Oh BABY! What a great week to be a Yankee fan. A sweep in Cleveland showed us the Yankees are not here to screw around in the playoffs. With an electric showing from the offense and a great pitching performance, we were able to get past the Indians in two games. Now, we head to Petco to play the Rays. This week Scotty and I broke down what was so successful for the Yankees and talked about the sta...

We did it! After an up and down season, we clinched our spot into this year's weird playoffs. Hopefully, we are able to bring our best team into it, not the offensively flat and defensively concerning team that has popped up a few times this week. We talked about what the future holds for names like Kyle Higashioka and Tanaka and if the Yankees will keep them in pinstripes. Around the horn, we cov...

Finally, Yankee baseball is a fun watch again. After a 2-week nightmare stretch where it was easy to find things to be upset about, the team really turned it around. Homeruns are coming from everywhere, with Higgy finding his stick and of course, LUKE VOIT is out here, already with more home runs than when we recorded this literally a day ago. The man is crazy. The team is crazy. What a great time...

Oh boy, we really thought it couldn't get worse from last week, huh? 5 straight losses and they were games that we SHOULD HAVE and NEEDED to win. The frustration is obvious here for Yankee fans, what's happening? Scotty and I talk through our frustrations and realize that maybe what we're missing is a clubhouse guy and one that can keep themself on the field. Hopefully, we can turn this around bef...

There's no way to sugar coat it, this week in Yankee baseball was atrocious. With the flat offense and our bullpen apparently needing to give up a game-tying or winning homerun every game, watching games have become difficult. This week we talked about the Mets mess and the Rays nightmare, and hope that we can figure out how to beat the O's this week. Around the horn, we talked about the most nota...

This week we had our first of many long-distance episodes. We didn't have much Yankee baseball to talk about thanks to the Mets ruining our fun, but there was content none the less. The purchase of Brantley raises questions about Higgy, and who are we willing to give up to hopefully get another strong starting pitcher? Around the horn, we talked about the most important thing: the boycotts. We exp...

This week the Yankees got a visit from their old friend the IL. With Judge, Stanton, LeMahieu, and Britton all being sent down by the time this was recorded. We later found out that Torres was taken out of the game and that Paxton had arm pain, will it ever end? Thankfully Luke Voit took the offense into his own hand and has been absolutely lighting it up alongside our favorite underdog Clint Fraz...

With injuries to Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge, the Yankees will try to find success with Clint Frazier. This week Scott talks about that and the crazy game from Mike Ford this week along with how the Astros are back in the news with a fight against the Athletics. Mike Trout is still hitting daddy hacks and Charlie Blackmon's insane batting average. All this along with more that happened this...

This week Scotty and Lexi talk about quite a few things. We broke down the nearly perfect week that the Yankees just worked through. Gary and Gardner both managed to push hits across so the hate can maybe stop for a little. We chatted about our offensive power and how it seems like we just can't be stopped. The DFA announcements were good news to us because hopefully, it means that Mike Tauchman c...

What a week for Yankee baseball! With Corona postponing our Phillies series, there was a lot of action outside of New York. Joe Kelly did what we all needed, but the ever-spreading virus is a serious concern across the league. Today I sat down with my brother to get his opinion on what is going on with the Yanks, and together we try to brainstorm some ways to kick start our offense. To talk baseba...
