Chris McMonigle is back to recap another Yankees series, but first, he celebrates the Knicks ending New York's championship drought among the four major sports, how it means Aaron Judge is no longer the king of New York sports, and what the Yanks can learn from the champion Knicks. Plus, these Yanks are putting some narratives to bed after another series win without Judge. Giancarlo Stanton suffered a setback in his rehab from a calf strain, and Chris says fans can no longer count on seeing Stanton at all this season (9:50). Trent Grisham is also now on the IL, which C-Mac says is crushing given the timing and how Grisham was hitting before the injury (25:13). Finally, we break down the series victory over the Blue Jays and the main storylines that came from the three-game set (30:48).
The Yankees are winning games like nothing can touch them, and that's exactly the problem: everything is touching them. Aaron Judge is out with a stress fracture on his first rib, Giancarlo Stanton is back on the injured list with more imaging ahead, and key names like Trent Grisham, Max Fried, and Clark Schmidt are also sidelined. Yet the New York Yankees still sit on top of the American League. So what's real, what's luck, and what's going to break when the calendar flips to August?I dig into the stretch that includes a strong series in Toronto and the bigger reasons the team keeps stacking wins. I talk lineup sparks from Ben Rice, the steady impact of Paul Goldschmidt, and why Cody Bellinger's all-around game keeps showing up when the Yankees need it. I also get into the “edge” factor, why a player like Caballero can change the feel of a team, and why the defense looks different when the right guys are playing the right spots.Then I hit the uncomfortable truth: the bullpen is still a major concern, and the trade deadline has to be about building an October-proof roster, not just surviving June. I also put the hot start in context, because the American League has been shockingly weak, and that changes how we judge the standings. Finally, I look ahead at the schedule and the must-fix positions, from catcher production to third base stability, so the season doesn't turn into a “nice story” instead of a real run.If you're following Yankees baseball for more than highlights, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a quick review so more fans can find the show.Send fan mailJersey Guy Sports is available on all podcasting platforms.

The same weekend, two of the most impressive pitching performances of the year — one from a junior at Georgia, one from a second-year Brewer. Joey Volchko punched out 15 over a complete game against Texas in the CWS opener. Jacob Misiorowski punched out 15 over a complete game against the Phillies on 95 pitches. Same number. Different level. Same underlying story about what good pitching development actually looks like.This BDH walks through both case studies in detail.Volchko in Athens — a high-upside Stanford transfer who'd been told for years to throw a four-seamer he couldn't throw. Georgia and Coach Wes Johnson got him in the lab, saw the natural cut, threw out the four-seam, made the cutter the number one, reframed the slider as a harder bullet, added a sweeper, then layered in a seam-shifted-wake sinker in the fall. They didn't change the athlete. They identified what he did best and built the repertoire around it. Result: a 15-K complete game on the biggest stage of his career, and a first-round draft profile.Misiorowski in Milwaukee — a high-walk minor leaguer two years ago, now a 105-in-the-tank big league starter throwing 95-pitch complete-game shutouts. The conversation reframes the cleanest line in modern pitching development: there is a difference between control (throwing strikes) and command (throwing strikes that play). Miz's in-zone rate is actually down. His first-pitch strike rate is up 8 points. Hitters are giving him more of the zone because they have to. The Brewers' system is the cleanest pitching development organization in baseball right now, and Misiorowski's arc is the proof.The back half opens up to the broader landscape:The Trey Turner slump — the leg-kick mechanics that have him stuck in 50/50, and why the breaking-ball whiff distance is the metric that confirms itYordan Alvarez as the actual best hitter in baseball — "Juan Soto things at Aaron Judge's size"The Aaron Judge shelf situationThe mid-season baseball tightening and the banana-peel outfield routes that came with itChristopher Sanchez's slider — average shape, elite value, because of the repertoire it lives insideA closing argument that we're watching the best baseball that's ever been playedThe throughline:The best pitching development at every level looks the same — don't fit guys into a box, find what they do best, and build the repertoire around it. Wes Johnson does it in Athens. The Brewers do it in Milwaukee. Different methods, same philosophy. This episode is the cleanest articulation of that idea Trevor and Dan have done on the pod.00:00 Intro · CWS Weekend, Two 15-K Games 01:30 Joey Volchko · 15K vs Texas in Athens 04:00 The Georgia · Wes Johnson Pitching Lab 07:30 Don't Fit Pitchers Into a Box · The Individual Build 11:30 The Four-Seam, the Cutter, the Sinker · Repertoire Construction 15:30 The 48/37 Pitch Mix · When Off-Speed Is the Fastball19:30 Beyond Nasty Stuff · The Next Layer of Pitching Development 24:30 Misiorowski · 15K vs the Phillies on 95 Pitches 28:00 Control vs Command · The Real Distinction 32:30 The Brewers as the Banner Pitching Development Org36:00 The Regression-Proof Fastball 40:00 Trey Turner · The Leg Kick and the 50/50 46:00 Aaron Judge on the Shelf · The Best Hitter Conversation49:00 Yordan Alvarez · Juan Soto Things at Aaron Judge's Size53:30 The Tightened Ball · Banana-Peel Outfield Routes 58:00 Christopher Sanchez's Slider · Why Repertoire Beats Pitch Grade1:02:00 Closing · The Best Baseball That's Ever Been Played

In today's edition of The Update Journal, the Yankees try to figure out life without Aaron Judge, which is like asking the Avengers to handle the final battle without Captain America, Iron Man, or anyone tall enough to reach the good snacks on top of the fridge. Judge's rib injury comes with that dreaded “4–6 weeks before re-imaging” timeline, which is not a return date — it's a medical cliffhanger. That means the Yankees aren't just waiting for him to come back; they're waiting to find out when they can start waiting for him to come back. Somewhere in the Bronx, the lineup card is being filled out with prayer, duct tape, and whatever's left in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders group chat.Then, A Closer Look heads to the NBA Finals, where ESPN somehow found itself in hot water for using an AI-generated Tony Parker image during Game 1. Because apparently the Worldwide Leader in Sports had access to decades of NBA footage, Getty Images, highlight packages, old Spurs broadcasts, and probably at least one intern who knows how Google Images works… and still chose “Tony Parker if he was rendered by a confused Xbox.” It's bad enough when AI steals jobs, but now it's apparently stealing cheekbones from retired point guards.And in today's Honorable Mention, we visit LA's first bikini coffee shop, where the baristas are serving lattes, dealing with weirdos, and proving once again that some people cannot be trusted around caffeine, confidence, or women just trying to do their jobs. It's one thing to order an iced vanilla latte; it's another thing to make the barista mentally file you under “security risk with oat milk.” Only in Los Angeles could coffee come with foam art, a dress code controversy, and a customer base that needs to be reminded this is still technically a workplace.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, a teen yakking on his phone on a bus was told by a fellow rider to pipe down — and turned around and fatally shot the guy, cops and law-enforcement sources said.A jury convicted a man of manslaughter as a hate crime in the death of O'Shae Sibley, who was killed at a Brooklyn gas station during a confrontation that began with a group of young people shouting racist and anti-gay slurs at the professional dancer and his friends as they vogued to a Beyoncé song.And out in the American West, Progressive city council member Nithya Raman has advanced to a November runoff against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, setting up an unexpected matchup between two Democrats and former political allies to run the struggling city of nearly 4 million.
"Nobody can say much except 'I can't believe it.' We're gonna have to figure out something else to say eventually." How did Hank Azaria end up in the ceiling at Madison Square Garden with Aaron Judge, while his friends ended up in the great seats that he bought for them? He joins us and tells the story before Method Man tags along and reveals whether it was hard to perform at halftime with the Knicks down 27. Plus, do the monks have an offensive bag?

Ben Rice has been on some kind of magical journey this year, as he continues to establish himself as one of the best hitters in the league. And as he tells Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz on this week's episode, it's all on account of maniacal levels of preparation, in all facets of the game (and of life). “Ben Arroz” has proven to be uniquely capable of connecting teammates in the clubhouse while also offering the offensive firepower the team needs with Aaron Judge out of the lineup, and he talks about his entire process. Then, YES Network's Meredith Marakovits and Jon chat about the latest news in Yankees universe and even give some thoughts on the NBA Finals.

The 2026 MLB All-Star Game is set to take place next month in Philadelphia, and while fan voting ballots have officially dropped, it's time to start thinking about who you might place on the American and National League squads. While there are some obvious names to make the team—looking at you, Shohei Ohtani and Yordan Alvarez—fans will have to make a few difficult decisions about who else will get their vote. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down both sides of the ballot and give their opinions on who they think should be voted in, including who might be the top vote-getter on the AL side with Aaron Judge set to miss the game. They also try to figure out how many players from the Philadelphia Phillies will represent their club with the game being hosted in the City of Brotherly Love. Later, Jake and Jordan discuss their recent trips to the ballpark, where they saw Paul Skenes take on the Los Angeles Dodgers, as well as his side quest to hang out with some little leaguers, and Gerrit Cole do something he hadn't done since 2022 against the Cleveland Guardians. They then talk about the incredible debut from Chicago White Sox prospect Braden Montgomery and look at the crazy numbers coming out of Sacramento A's and Milwaukee Brewers games in Las Vegas. 1:19 - The Opener: All-Star Game ballots released 4:34 - Who should make the AL squad? 18:25 - Who should make the NL squad? 37:15 - Field Report: Skenes on and off the field 47:35 - Cole against Cleveland 55:03 - Around The League: Montgomery's memorable debut 1:03:58 - Slugfest in Las Vegas Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
