West Coast Yanks (Yankees Podcast)

The Yankees tried their very best to lose this series against the Rays but by the grace of God, salvage a split in the series. The offense and baserunning still look mediocre, while the pitching is keeping us afloat. The Yankees face Boston for the first time this year, so we'll see where the Yankees are after the 3 game set.

It's time for the Yankees to call up Chris Gittens and Estevan Florial. The Yankees get swept in Detroit for the first time in 21 years. This episode is a rant about everything I hate about the Yankees and how they are completely ruining the confidence of our young guys. Something's got to change, cause this pitching isn't going to stay this dominant over 162. The pitching has kept this team above water but if they don't start hitting soon it's going to get real ugly.  Tap in:  luigibryden@gmail.com westcoastyanks@gmail.com Twitter: @WestCoastYanks_ IG: @luigibryden Music: @HoodPopeDamian

The Yankees complete the sweep of the best team in the AL with walk off wins in the first and last games of the series. The starters continue to throw shutout innings. Move over, MLB. The Yankees are here.  Tap in:  luigibryden@gmail.com westcoastyanks@gmail.com Twitter: @WestCoastYanks_ IG: @luigibryden Music: @HoodPopeDamian

The Yankees take 3 out of 4 from Texas, and end their 10 game road trip with a 7-3 record. Ask any manager in the league and he'll sign up for that in blood. Kluber tosses a no-no, a near perfect game, on game 3 against the Rangers. Tune in to hear the recap!

The Yankees pitching has been brilliant, while the offense has been putrid at times. The Yankees have shown us different personalities throughout the first 1/4 of the year. Today, I gloss over the individual stats of the players so far, and discuss what I would do to make the MLB more interesting. With how much the pitchers are dominating, something has to change. I don't agree with moving the mound back, as the pitchers have been training their whole life to throw from 60 ft 6 inches. Tune in and find out what Luigi has to say.

After dropping game 1 of the series, the Yankees snatch the last 2 games in walk off fashion! Including stealing a win in game 2 after Scherzer's masterful outing. The Yankees hope to take this momentum into the Trop, where they will face the rival Rays in a 3 game set.

The Yankees complete the sweep of the Detroit Tigers. Yankees pitching made Detroit look like a AAA team. They also showed an ability to score without the home run ball which was a good sign. This was the perfect warm up series before facing the Astros, Nationals, and Rays. Tap in:  westcoastyanks@gmail.com @WestCoastYanks_ @luigibryden Intro/Outro Music: @HoodPopeDamian

Is this the start of something? Gerrit Cole puts together a masterclass of pitching, mowing down 12 batters thru 6 innings pitched. Frazier, Hicks, Judge and Odor homer in a 10-0 romp over the Tigers.  Tap in:  westcoastyanks@gmail.com @WestCoastYanks_ @luigibryden Intro/Outro Music: @HoodPopeDamian

The Yankees win the first series since April 7th against the Orioles. The pitching has continued to look phenomenal and the bats woke up this series. The game 3 pitching duel amongst Cole and Bieber did not disappoint. The Yankees are getting their home run swing back. They look to continue the trend at Camden Yards when they take on the Orioles for 4 games.  Tap in:  westcoastyanks@gmail.com @WestCoastYanks_ @luigibryden Intro/Outro Music: @HoodPopeDamian

The Yankees win 5-3! Game recap and summary. The Yankees win 2 in a row with a potential for 3 in a row with a battle of the aces tomorrow. Gerrit Cole vs. Shane Bieber.  Tap in:  westcoastyanks@gmail.com @WestCoastYanks_ @luigibryden Intro/Outro Music: @HoodPopeDamian

Is this the catalyst for the Yankees to break out of their team wide slump? The Yankees recorded 11 hits in their series opener against the Indians and won 6-3. They strung some hits together, and hopefully this is what they needed to realize that not every swing needs to be a home run swing. They made the necessary adjustments, and I look forward to see them swing the bat today. Hopefully they can keep this rolling. Go Yanks!

Instant recap of the 8-2 Yankees loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, 4/16/21. The Yankees looked lackadaisical at home tonight. Besides Michael King's gutsy performance, the Yankees fell short in every facet of the game, only being able to muster 3 hits all night. They also committed 3 errors.... This is going to be an easy one to forget. Onto the next one! Montgomery vs. Glasnow. Let's go Yankees!
