Pinstripe People - A Yankees Podcast

Max Fried made an earlier than expected return to the Yankees rotation and he delivered five quality innings Wednesday which helped the Yankees get a split of their doubleheader against the Pirates which also secured a series win. Gerrit Cole was very good in the opener, but the Yankees' offense failed him in an extra-inning loss. The Yankees' collective incompetence at the plate has now reached f...

It's hard to feel good about the Yankees, even though they gained ground in the AL East despite managing to win just one of three against the dynastic Dodgers. Their entire lineup - except Ben Rice - remains in a crippling slump as they scored just five runs in this series, and if not for a timely Jazz Chisholm home run Sunday night, they probably would have gotten swept at Yankee Stadium. Sal Mai...

If you haven't read it yet, Yankees fans have to get a copy of New York Post columnist Mike Vaccaro's latest book, The Bosses of the Bronx, a richly-detailed history of the Steinbrenner family's ownership tenure of the franchise, guaranteed to have behind-the-scenes stories and anecdotes you've never heard anywhere else. Mike joined co-hosts Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley for a great discussion ab...

The All-Star Break is over and now the Yankees have plenty of work to do as they try to run down Tampa Bay in the AL East and hopefully earn the best record in the American League and the first-round playoff bye that comes with that. Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley share some thoughts on what has transpired to this point and where the Yankees need to improve over the final 66 games of the regular s...

For those who didn't already know it, the Nationals have the worst bullpen in MLB and the Yankees exploited it by rallying from behind late in all three games to pull off a sweep in Washington. There were big home runs, solid starting pitching and mostly outstanding work from the much-maligned bullpen which right now is pitching better than anyone thinks. Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley break down...

Although there was some continued awful offense in the first three games of their huge series against the Rays, the Yankees earned a split because Cam Schlittler was an ace in the opener, and the bats finally woke up with a 12-run outburst in the finale. Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley discuss the entirety of the series including Schlittler's dominant performance, back-to-back 17-strikeout games fo...

When you can't hit, can't pitch and can't field, it's going to be pretty tough to win games in Major League Baseball. So it should be no surprise to anyone that the Yankees, who do any of those three fundamental pillars of the sport, have lost nine of 10 games and 12 of their last 15. The Twins came into the Bronx and won the final two games to take the series, and the Yankees were about as lifele...

Every team goes through a rough patch, or two, or three, during a major-league season, but right now the Yankees are in the midst of a seven-game losing streak during which they have embarrassed themselves in every phase of the game. It can't possibly get any worse this, right? They can't hit, they can't pitch, they can't field, nothing the manager is doing is working out, and they are sinking lik...

It was almost unfathomable how poorly the Yankees played at Fenway Park, losing all four games to the last-place Red Sox. This wasn't just about their inept offense which produced a .133 team batting average and managed just three hits in each of the last three games. This was a total team meltdown as their starting pitching was uncharacteristically poor, their bullpen was shaky as it has been all...

The Yankees went into Detroit and took two of three against a Tigers team that is desperate to turn its season around. After losing the opener on a night when Jazz was being Jazz creating Lollipopgate, he came back in the middle game and crushed a go-ahead homer to key a Yankees victory. And then in the finale, Paul Goldschmidt homered twice and Jasson Dominguez once off Detroit superstar Tarik Sk...

The Yankees had no business losing a series at home to the Reds, but here we are. They saw their AL East lead over the Rays dip to two games, and it was a combination of a lot of things going sour, at least after the Friday game when Cam Schlittler struck out a career-high 13 batters. Sal and Mike break down the three games, all the things that went wrong, and they also discuss the rumors about th...

In this debut episode, Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley break down the Yankees' series victory over the Chicago White Sox where the bats were explosive in the first two games, then went to sleep Thursday night. Spencer Jones is also a big topic as he continued to show signs of life in his second recall this year, homering on Tuesday and playing a solid center field. Camilo Doval blew the Thursday ga...
