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.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber get caught up in the excitement around Knicks finals basketball, but with a twist: the debut of a Mike Breen “bang” tracker inspired by Big Cat's idea. They make their own predictions for how many signature calls Breen might deliver, debate whether game one will shape the entire series, and weigh just how much confidence Knicks fans should have. The conversation also branches into Landry Shamet jokes, New York's playoff energy, and a Yankees injury scare involving Aaron Judge. Evan and Tiki break down possible lineup fixes, Giancarlo Stanton's role, and a shot taken at Jazz Chisholm by a Cleveland broadcaster.
Evan and Tiki preview the Knicks versus Spurs NBA Finals matchup, debating how many "Bang!" calls Mike Breen will deliver during Game 1. They discuss Aaron Judge's concerning rib injury and potential lineup shifts for the Yankees, including the possibility of Giancarlo Stanton returning to the outfield.

The Yankees completed their road trip with a series win over the A's, highlighted by a 13-run third inning in which they score 10 runs before recording a single out! Chris reacts to the series and why it reinforces his belief that the narrative surrounding the Bombers' record against teams above .500 is silly (1:43), the potential lineup issue when Giancarlo Stanton returns (8:00), whether this Yankee rotation is better than the ones of the 1990s dynasty teams (19:45), why Chris is not concerned about Aaron Judge's continued underwhelming season (27:30), and recapping the series as a whole, including the epic rally (49:55).

The mailbag delivers. Listener emails this week include a baseball honeymoon, a Jeopardy-funded wedding (not a typo), and a fan who shipped over APBA game materials and a stack of 1972 Topps cards. That last one matters by the end of the episode. In BP, Jeff and Mark work through the week's oddities: batters watching their own strikeout replays in real time, the phrase "circuit clout" making a comeback, Elmo showing up in the Phillies booth alongside John Kruk, Jazz Chisholm wearing Giancarlo Stanton's pants to break a slump, and a genuinely strange roster trivia note involving the Marlins, Cardinals, and Twins. The main segment is 1988. Specifically, what happens when a pitcher gets so locked in that the league starts to feel likeit's 1968 all over again. Orel Hershiser threw 59 consecutive scoreless innings that year — breaking Don Drysdale's record — and won the Cy Young while doing it. Jeff puts it in context against Bob Gibson's 1968, the last time people seriously asked whether pitchers had broken the sport. The episode closes with Wax Pack Heroes, using the 1972 Topps cards the listener sent in. 00:00 Cold Open and Welcome 00:18 On Location and Mariners Talk 01:31 Mailbag Honeymoon Baseball Stories 04:15 APBA Surprise and Wax Packs 07:19 BP Big Screens and Circuit Clouts 09:11 Elmo in the Broadcast Booth 10:52 Jazz Chisholm Wears Stantons Pants 13:22 Weird MLB Three Team Trivia 15:01 NCIS New Orleans Baseball Cameos 16:54 Year of the Pitcher Part Deux 44:35 Wax PackHeroes 01:07:10 Thanks Plugs Signoff Connect With Us YouTube: www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoise Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise BlueSky: @twostrikenoise.bsky.social Email: twostrikenoise@gmail.com Support a Great Cause: Don't let your common cards collect dust!

Tonight, the Knicks and Cavs battle at the Garden, the Mets score 10 runs in the 12th to beat the Nationals, and the LIRR strike ends with limited noon service. Boomer predicts a six-game Knicks series, Jerry delivers updates from Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson, and the Spurs top OKC in double OT behind a huge night from Victor Wembanyama. After hearing the sounds of the Mets' wild 12th inning, we check out Jazz Chisholm homering in Giancarlo Stanton's pants, John Harbaugh's bold claims at the Giants' town hall about kicking the Cowboys' ass, and the Canadiens advancing past the Sabres. We wrap it all up with Eddie's "Yankees Elimination Day" t-shirts.
Jerry starts with Josh Hart on playing the Cavaliers, plus Jalen Brunson on what to expect. The Spurs beat OKC in double OT. We heard the Mets 10-run 12th inning. Jazz Chisholm hit a HR while continuing to wear Giancarlo Stanton's pants. The Giants held a town hall at Beacon Theater and John Harbaugh talked about having a good enough football team ‘to kick the Cowboys' ass'. The Canadians beat the Sabres to advance.
Blake Murphy is joined by Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling in-studio to talk the Tigers series, Yohendrick Pinango's hitting, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s home run, Brandon Valenzuela's play since Alejandro Kirk went down and more. The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen (52:49) checks in to contextualize the Detroit Tigers' recent struggles, injuries depleting the roster and reasons for optimism. Afterwards, Emmanuel Berbari (1:17:11) of WFAN 660 dives into Cam Schlittler, filling the void of Giancarlo Stanton and the stakes of their 4-game series against the Blue Jays this week.

How concerning is Max Fried's elbow? How badly do the Yankees miss Giancarlo Stanton? Buster Olney says many people around baseball think Anthony Volpe should start playing other positions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Chris McMonigle is here to calm the nerves of panicking Yankee fans after the team dropped its fifth game in the last six. C-Mac says there is no need to overreact to a blip on the radar, though there should be at least some level of concern with Max Fried, who is headed back to New York for imaging on his elbow. Chris dives in to how Fried's absence could impact the team and the rotation, and if it means Gerrit Cole could return sooner than originally planned (5:00). Plus, Anthony Volpe is back, and Chris says the Yanks are handling his promotion the right way, though he believes Jose Caballero should be the starting shortstop once he returns from the IL (20:22). C-Mac also jumps into the latest discouraging update on Giancarlo Stanton's recovery (27:00), sounds off on Jazz Chisholm's continued struggles (37:20), and recaps the series in Baltimore (49:00).
One-hit losses will do that thing where they don't just beat you, they make you question everything. That's where we're at with the New York Yankees right now: five losses in six games, a lineup that goes quiet for long stretches, and late leads that feel like they're borrowed time. I talk through why this slide is happening so fast, and why it's not enough to wave it away as “just May.”I dig into the two patterns behind the recent mess: comatose hitting and bullpen disasters. The one-run game record tells a story, and it's not a lucky-break story. I get into what the Yankees aren't doing at the plate, from poor situational hitting to too many regulars performing well below even their own career standards. When only a few bats are producing, every mistake becomes louder and every close game becomes a coin flip.Then I hit the injury pileup and what it does to the big picture. Max Fried's elbow soreness, Giancarlo Stanton's stalled return, Jason Dominguez missing weeks, Caballero on the IL, and the uncertainty of Gerrit Cole coming back strong from Tommy John rehab all change what this team can realistically be in the short term. I also give Paul Goldschmidt his flowers, then get blunt about tougher roster calls, including concerns about Anthony Volpe and whether Spencer Jones should be used to bring back real help.If you care about where the Yankees are headed, subscribe, share this with a friend who's spiraling too, and leave a quick review so more fans find the show.

Chris McMonigle gives his instant reaction to hyped prospect Spencer Jones getting called up to the majors in the wake of Jasson Dominguez being sent to the IL. C-Mac expects Jones to get a legitimate run with real playing time until Dominguez or Giancarlo Stanton return. He also breaks down why the move is the latest sign that these Yanks are operating with more urgency than years past.

Munetaka Murakami is the biggest sell high of the fantasy baseball season so far, and Joe Bond and Corey Pieper both agree you should be moving him right now for legitimate top-tier talent before the league figures out how to pitch to him. On the waiver wire add side, AJ Applegarth and Joe run through Nolan Arenado, Cole Young, Moises Ballesteros, JR Ritchie, Chase Dollander, Foster Griffin, and Spencer Arrighetti. AJ was skeptical on Arenado while Joe and Corey are riding the hot bat, and Dollander gets the strongest endorsement of the group despite sitting at just 46% rostership. Jarren Duran is the rage drop of the week, with Joe keeping him for now but benching him in every league — Corey and Joe went deep on why he simply cannot be started right now despite the massive upside. Also on the drop list: Luis Castillo, Giancarlo Stanton, and Eugenio Suarez. Rankings risers this week include Mike Trout, Randy Arozarena, Josh Jung, Jose Soriano, Nolan McLean, Bryan Baker, and Louie Varland. Falling down the board: Jarren Duran, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Rafael Devers, Devin Williams, Aaron Nola, Salvador Perez, and Logan Gilbert. Corey leads the buy low and sell high segment. Buy low targets are Ketel Marte, Freddie Freeman, and Matthew Boyd — all three have strong underlying numbers that do not match their surface stats. The sell highs are JJ Wetherholt, Mickey Moniak, and Murakami, with Joe and Corey both making the case that Murakami hype is at its peak and you can flip him for serious value right now.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Sure, there is Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. And, maybe, the Yankees' hot start is built on some really, really good pitching. But two players you should absolutely know a little better are Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger. So, that's exactly what Bradfo helps you do thanks to conversations with both. And, not stopping there, our host then catches up with three pitchers - Paul Blackburn, Garrett Whitlock, and Ryan Yarbrough - to discuss the pitchers' perspective on this new strike zone. It's a podcast that will inform and entertain. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The Yankees are sending a clear message early this season and it is all about focus. A team meeting led by veterans like Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge, and Paul Goldschmidt has sparked real optimism, with a renewed emphasis on treating every single game like it matters. After last year's narrow miss and costly lack of focus, the tone inside the clubhouse feels different and potentially defining. Evan and Tiki break down why this leadership dynamic stands out, including Stanton's vocal presence and Judge's quieter influence, and how that combination could be the X factor the Yankees have been missing. They also explore the importance of regular season urgency, the debate around home field advantage, and why this version of the Yankees might finally have the mindset needed to break through.

The discussion then shifts across town as Giancarlo Stanton's hot start forces a reevaluation of his Yankees legacy. The hosts debate how his postseason dominance stacks up against inconsistent regular season availability, while also questioning lineup construction and whether Aaron Judge should be leading off. Along the way, they explore early season trends, managerial decisions, and the growing fascination with the ABS challenge system.
