The Yankees enter mid-June approaching rock bottom. They have lost three straight games, were swept in two contests by the Phillies over the weekend and have dropped to 8 1/2 games out of first place. They have sunk to 4th in the AL East and slowly are getting further and further away from looking anything close to a playoff team. Pour up a cold one for this Yankees fans.
To dive into the Yankees struggles, we bring you a brand new episode of the “Pinstripe Pod” with Chris Shearn and Jeff Nelson to get your week started. Luckily, we took it back to better Yankees days with a candid, entertaining, hilarious, must-listen interview with 1998 World Series champion and Yankees great David Wells.
Pinstripe Pod Opening Segment with Chris, Jeff & Jake:
- BAD TEAM: Yankees are just bad right now. They are terrible offensively. Pitching has been brutal the past two weeks. They are sliding in the standings. Aaron Judge needs to get healthy. They are stuck with Giancarlo Stanton until 2029. Something has to change fast.
- AARON BOONE: Showed his frustrations on the postgame Zoom. His seat is hotter than ever right now. Could the Yankees fire him this week? Yankees have a tough stretch coming up against some good teams that could end up making or breaking this season.
