Yankee Nation Podcast

Regular season games are officially canceled due to the MLB lockout. Ryan and Brian discuss all of the negotiations, how close or how far MLB and the MLBPA are on each issue and how legitimate the optimism for a deal was early Tuesday morning. With a lot to be sad about, we also try to lift spirits at the end of the episode by discussing some fun Yankees news such as Cameron Maybin and Carlos Belt...

The Yankee Nation podcast is back and we are discussing the ongoing MLB lockout. Ryan and Brian discuss the negotiations that have taken place so far, core issues that are still a holdup and the few aspects that have been agreed to so far. The Yankees made history by hiring Rachel Balkovec as a manager for the Tampa Tarpons and we discussed that. We covered prospect rankings, Eric Chavez having th...

Jose, Ryan, and Brian try to dive into the little Yankees news that has happened this season. The New York Yankees did sign all their non-tenured guys, mainly the big names of Sanchez and Andujar. They hired a new hitting coach and assistant pitching coach. We discussed how these moves could improve the roster. But the roster itself has yet to change. With the Yankees heading into the lockout with...

After some technical difficulties, the Yankee Nation Podcast is here, and we are breaking down every piece of offseason news and rumors. Jose, Ryan, and Brian break down all the Yankee news that has gone over the last three weeks, including player and team options, coaching news, as well as Brian Cashman's quotes from the General Manager meetings.  Cashman in the GM meetings said that a short...

Aaron Boone is officially back as the New York Yaskines signed a new three-year contract with an option for the fourth. This may have come as a surprise to some Yankee fans after the team almost missed the playoffs, but in General Manager Brian Cashman's press conference after, it seemed like the right thing to do. Boone is already deep in the organization and has tried to carry out its philosophy...

The New York Yankees 2021 season is officially over after losing 6-2 to the Boston Red Sox in a Wild Card game in Fenway. The Yankees were on a roller coaster ride all season, playing like a true contender one week, then playing like the worst team in the league the next. In a final win or go home game, the Yankees went home with a rough night from ace Gerrit Cole and no real run support. Jose, Ry...

This season has been stressful, so it only makes sense to end in a win-or-go-home Wild Card game against the Boston Red Sox. Jose, Ryan, and Brian go over all the crucial details before the game, figuring out how the lineup will look. We also looked at the pitching matchup between Cole and Eovaldi and how a hot start for the Yankees in this game is extremely crucial. 

Since the Yankees did make it into the playoffs for the 5trh straight season, we will dive straight into those final stressful six games. Jose, Ryan, and Brian break down every stress-filled game. In the first series against the Blue Jays, the Yankees won two out of three, winning the bookends. The Yankees did at least win the series, but nothing seemed safe all series.  Then they lost the fi...

Last week, there was no light at the end of the tunnel. It seemed like the Yankees season was just about over. Somehow, only a week later, the Yankees find themselves on top of the Wild Card race after sweeping the Texas Rangers and the Boston Red Sox. The pitching and the bats have been hot all week, with Giancarlo Stanton having a historical series in Fenway, hitting 3 HRs with 10 RBIs. The bull...

After a frustrating episode last week, the Yankees sweep the week and go 6-0 to move into first place of the Wild Card race once again. Jose, Ryan, and Brian go over how frustrating this team has been to root for, as they have constantly gone from being a playoff team to a horrible team. However, a big part of the recent struggles was starting and bullpen pitching. Now that the bullpen has rested...

Since our last episode, the Yankees seem to be doing worse, not sweeping the Orioles and then getting blown out by the Clevland Indians twice. There will only be a Monday episode this week with Brian taking a day off and the Yankees just being too frustrating this week. We start with Ryan going over all the injuries, with Sevy and German looking to make a come back this week. Joe and Ryan then div...

Yankees go 1-6 in this week's seven games, pretty much erasing the 13 game win streak they just went on. They got swept in a four-game series by the Toronto Blue Jays, who have kicked the Yankees out of the Wild Card. Then they went 1-2 in Queens against the Mets. Nothing is going right for the Yankees as they play without energy while the pitching looks tired. This season has been a horrible roll...

The Yankees have played seven games in the last seven days and only won one game. That is not where you want to be closing in on the last few weeks of baseball, now sitting a game outside of the wildcard. Injuries hit the Yankees hard this week, with Cole coming out early, which has affected the whole pitching rotation. The starting pitchers are struggling, the bullpen is tired, the bats can't com...

After winning 13 straight games, the New York Yankees seem to be sliding back into the old habits that made them .500 in the middle of the season. This episode is a special Labor Day episode in where we combined the Monday and Tuesday episode into one.  We start with the usual Yankee Weekly Update, with Ryan going over all the injury updates in the Yankee system. Brian then takes back into th...

The Yankees keep on winning, as they take the first four games of this week, to reach a 13 game win streak. Sadly that streak in Oakland, as the Yankees split a four-game series with the A's. In the first two games against the Atlanta Braves, the Yankees won, showing how hot they were against another hot team. Game 1 featured two teams with nine game-winning streaks, but the Yankees would still le...

In this week's Yankee Week edition of the Yankee Nation Podcast, Jose, Ryan, and Brian go over all the injury news, with Kluber set to make his return tonight and Torres working his way back. Finding out that the Yankees have a lot of middle-infield and pitching talent, figuring out who will be sent down to make space for players coming back will be very difficult. Judge and Cole have been stables...

The Yankees are hot, and they have been the hottest team in baseball over the last few weeks. Since the previous episode, the Yankees managed to win against the Angles, outplay the Red Sox, and destroy the Twins. This team has made a complete 180, and Jose, Ryan, and Brain break down every game and all of the highlights. The Red Sox series shifted the Yankees into the leader in the Wild Card runni...

With the Yankees being it by injures and COVID-19 all season long, it is a sight for sore eyes to start seeing some of these starting players get healthy. Jose, Ryan, and Brian break down all the players coming back from injury, along with all the players who are slowly inching closer to coming back. On top of that, the Yankees now have a 2.5 game lead in the Wild Card and just 4.5 games behind th...

The New York Yankees are hot right now, winning eight of their nine series since the All-Star break, winning the last six. This week the Yankees won both series 2-1 in exciting fashion almost every game, mainly because of the bullpen miscues (check out the Monday episode for more). The series against the Royals was a must-win, as the Yankees have the better team, but the Royals still put up a figh...

With the Yankees roster being ravaged by injuries and COVID-19, Ryan breaks down all the updates and possible returns for all the players. Many of the players out seem to be pitchers, which has finally affected affecting the players. They are overtaxed, showing up on the field, as the bullpen has blown multiple saves this week. The high leverage bullpen arms are being used every day, forcing pitch...

In the seven games that the Yankees played this week, they won five of them and went 8-2 in their last ten games, making them one of the hottest teams in baseball. It seems like the Yankees have found a new team after the trade deadline, stealing bases, playing smart and hard, and above all trying to win every game. After getting blown out by the Orioles in game one, they returned the favor for ga...

This season for sure has had its ups and downs, but it seems like since the trade deadline, the Yankees are on the up. In this week's Yankee Week episode, we talk about all the news surrounding the team, mostly injury updates, as well as some COVID-IL news. We break down how the Yankees improved and hit at how good this pitching core could be next season with all this young talent.  All these...

The Yankees are back and in full swing, with a new roster after the trade deadline. With Jose also missing this episode, Ryan and Brian go over the 2-1 series win in the Trop against the Rays and then get a sweep against the Miami Marlins to send up going 5-1 since the last record day. This new team could start to push for a playoff spot in question earlier this season. Even though early in this "...

With Jose out for this episode, Ryan and Brian steered the ship in what will be one of the most significant news episodes we have had. The Yankees made many moves at this trade deadline, trading for needs that we have been asking for this whole season. The Yankees add two arms in Clay Hamels, Joely Rodriguez and Andrew Heaney, who aren't the most significant acquisitions, but they will pitch innin...

The Yankees start this week with a 2 Game series sweep of the Philadephia Phillies. Sadly that would be the only good news from this week. Both games were close, but it was exciting as the team just seemed to gut out every win. It seemed like the team might have swagger headed to Boston, but sadly that faded. The Yankees went 1-3 against their arch-rivals, with two horrible late-game collapses. Jo...
