EPISODE 137: The Sox Keep Loosing

December 30, 2022 16:00 - 36 minutes - 50.2 MB

Another slow week in the offseason so not much to talk about. Luetge for some Minor League players, a little bit of talk about the infield and who goes where. There were a few trades, like the sudden faith in the Diamondbacks and the continuous losses that the Red Sox have to deal with, with little upside. A short episode for a short week, but make sure you keep up to date with all Yankees news that happen over the offseason on our Instagram @pinstripe.podcast.

EPISODE 136: Oh Captain, My Captain

December 23, 2022 16:00 - 1 hour - 87 MB

Big week in baseball! At least in New York. The Yankees had two huge press conferences back to back, and one of them included naming Aaron Judge the 16th Captain of the New York Yankees. We break down what that means and just how the Yankees could get the last piece they need to make the team have that extra umph that we seem to have been missing lately. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 135: Right On, Rodón

December 16, 2022 16:00 - 53 minutes - 73.1 MB

OH OH OHHHHH!!!! With a week that was slow on Yankee news, I was sure I had nothing to talk about this week. That was until 10 minutes before I turned my mic on when we signed CARLOS RODON. Come listen to me ramble to myself for a surprising amount of time and see just how huge this signing is for the Yanks. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 134: How Many Signings?

December 09, 2022 16:00 - 1 hour - 102 MB

HELLOOOOO we had a lot to cover today so let's get right to it. This week alone, we had 16 HUGE trades in terms of either the Yankees or across the league. It was a wild week; let's get right to it. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 132: Why is There No Movement?

December 02, 2022 16:00 - 56 minutes - 77.2 MB

So I thought this was going to be an exciting time for baseball. Signings, trades, huge contracts... now I'm checking if these free agents have a pulse. Hopefull we see some movement next week or Scotty and I are going to have to start playing chess on the show. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 131: Bay Visit

November 25, 2022 16:49 - 44 minutes - 61.4 MB

The visits have begun... what's going to happen? Aaron Judge headed to the Bay and was greeted by Steph Curry? Weird play, San Fran. Let's see how this shakes down. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 130: MVP, Obviously

November 18, 2022 16:00 - 42 minutes - 58.3 MB

We found out that Aaron Judge won the AL MVP MINUTES before we started recording. It's crazy how good at timing we are. We also discussed Gleyber Torres, Anthony Rizzo, and a few other awards across the league. We're now right in the off-season; time to start seeing where people are heading.

EPISODE 129: The Long Winter Begins

November 11, 2022 16:00 - 1 hour - 83.6 MB

The end has finally come. Here we talk about the power of rookies, the World Series, the Yanks right now, and end-of-year awards. A little all over the place, a lot of info, and preparation for the winter ahead. Don't look now, but Donaldson apparently has the hot corner locked down, and some people are NOT happy. Follow us on IG @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 128: Yankee Fan Purgatory

November 04, 2022 15:00 - 33 minutes - 46.4 MB

Tough week to talk about Yankee stuff, huh? Other than the Gold Glove announcements, there isn't much going on in Yankee town, and neither Lexi nor Scotty have really given the World Series their all. It's been a busy week for the pair. Even so, we come at you with possible hot takes and silly little rants that we hope you enjoyed. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 127: Heartbreak.

October 28, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 85 MB

Ouch. Every possible thing that could have gone wrong offensively happened. The inability to support our starting pitchers and getting swept by the Astros in the ALCS had to be rock bottom. We had a big-time discussion about the rumors of Yankee players being upset with the stadium's environment during the playoffs. Scotty and Lexi disagreeing? This actually never happens. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

PP 126: Back with Houston

October 21, 2022 15:00 - 45 minutes - 62.9 MB

Here we go again. I feel like we've been here before, don't you? Back to Houston, and at this point, it feels like it relies on two things: non-homerun offense and our bullpen. We need to get ourselves on base and have a reliever who does their job other than Wandy. Will we do it? I don't know, man, I'm s t r e s s e d. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 125: Happy October Baseball Baby!

October 14, 2022 14:00 - 1 hour - 102 MB

It's the best time of the year, October baseball time. The Yankees have played one playoff game this year, and we won it, let's keep this rolling! The first round of the playoffs is my personal favorite, it's exciting and crazy and a sprint to the end. The Yanks are looking to finish off Cleveland, let's get to work. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 124: Playoff Time. Oh, and AARON F**KING JUDGE

October 07, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 106 MB

WHAT AN END TO THE YEAR!!! Judge hits 62, and it is time for Playoff Baseball! This episode is split into two exciting parts: the broken records and our playoff predictions. Who do we have winning it all? How do they get there? It's my favorite episode of the year; let's get into it. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 123: Aaron. Freaking. Judge.

September 30, 2022 15:00 - 51 minutes - 70.3 MB

There is literally nothing else to talk about. Aaron Judge has tied the single-season home run record in Toronto, and it's about damn time. Will he beat it? That's what matters. Gerrit Cole also put on a show, and so did the whole club by securing the AL East. Pretty great week to be a Yankee fan if you ask me! Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

episode 122: This is 60

September 23, 2022 15:00 - 58 minutes - 80.8 MB

Is there really anything else to talk about? (Yes, of course, there is but CMON) Aaron Judge has reached 60, and we are now just waiting for the last magic one. A remarkable season that just needs the last cherry on top to make it seem unbelievable. But don't count out the other Yankees! Our duo goes through who has really seemed to stand out this week and what on EARTH is going on with bench boy Hicks. It's an episode you don't want to miss during a season we are all so lucky to be experien...

EPISODE 121: Brooms Up in Boston

September 16, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 83.8 MB

Could the Yankees be back on track? With a strong week from the offense, the Yankees looked like the team we knew before the month of August. Gleyber's swing is really working again, and Judge continues to rake, even when he isn't going yard. The impending debut of Harrison Bader is teasing us all with the future of not seeing Aaron Hicks pretend to play baseball again. How many home runs do you think Judge will hit this week? the update will be on our Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 120: All Eyes on Judge

September 09, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 92.1 MB

This week was a roller coaster of emotions for Yankee fans. First, there was rock bottom against Tampa, then there was IKF learning he's allowed to hit the ball OVER the fence, the list of IL additions, and then Gerrit Cole shoving 14Ks. While all this is happening, Aaron Judge continued to "Hard Carry" the team and put them on his back. Scotty and Lexi discuss how it is impossible to name anyone else MVP and banter about god knows what else in the baseball sphere. Follow us on Instagram @ p...

EPISODE 119: Peraza Party

September 02, 2022 15:00 - 35 minutes - 49.2 MB

It has finally happened... after an abysmal West Coast trip, the Yankees are looking to bounce back, and it seems like the answer was to call up Oswald Peraza. The shortstop has been long awaited, and I could not be more excited that it has finally happened. Hopefully, he is the spark the team needs and can push up to a comfortable spot ahead of Tampa. Follow us on Instagram at pinstripe.podcast !

EPISODE 118: Oswaldo has got the DOG in him

August 26, 2022 15:00 - 37 minutes - 50.9 MB

Three in a row, two against the Mets. We are a team again and it's big thanks to Oswaldo being hype and Judge coming back on track. Just because we are looking good now doesn't mean it will always stick around. Listen to Lexi and Scotty talk about what went well and what needs to continue doing well for this squad to continue succeeding. And for more updates on the team go follow our instagram @pinstripe.podcast.

EPISODE 117: It's Just Sad Now

August 19, 2022 16:29 - 1 hour - 83.8 MB

The Yankees are not doing any better than we were doing last week. Join Lexi and Scotty as they sulk in misery as they talk about the lacking Yankees team and the entire Tatis situation. Really not a happy week so come along and join our little rant week.

EPISODE 116: Sleepless in Seattle

August 12, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 82.6 MB

So we started talking about the Seattle series, but we got a little sidetracked everywhere. It's a messy episode where we talk about Abreu, Matty Carp, Stanton, and Chris Sale just to get crazy. It's kind of a clusterfuck, but ya know what, we had a great time doing it, and we hope you had fun listening. 

EPISODE 115: The Trade Deadline

August 05, 2022 15:00 - 49 minutes - 68 MB

We're through the trade deadline, let's talk about what we think is one of the best trade deadlines that the Yankees have had recently. By bolstering our outfield, adding starting pitching after the Sevy fall, and dropping dead weight like Gallo, the Yankees made their team better while only trading two non-minor leaguers. Let's chat about what each new Yankee brings to the table, the playoff potential for the Padres after acquiring Juan Soto and Josh Bell, and our overall grade of the Yanke...

EPISODE 114: Benny in the Bronx

July 29, 2022 15:00 - 52 minutes - 72.5 MB

Now introducing your newest Yankee outfielder: Andrew Benintendi! The first trade for the Yankees approaching the deadline seals the deal on two things: The Yanks are out on Soto and Gallo. The two of us are looking for one more move before the deadline: Luis Castillo. With the loss of King to a fractured elbow, we need to relieve both our starting pitchers and our relievers. Hopefully, Cashman works some magic and maybe listen's to Scotty's trade proposal to make the winning deal and basica...

EPISODE 113: All-Star Soto

July 22, 2022 15:00 - 35 minutes - 49.4 MB

The All-Star break has arrived and we get to reflect. Although the weekend was full of stars there was one big star that shined the brightest, Juan Soto. Not only did he take home the dub in the home run derby, but he also denied a 400 million dollar deal from the Nationals and is THE HOTTEST trade target of most teams. Here's the thing, he still has a few years on his contract so the Nats are asking for a ton in response. Lexi and Scotty discuss whether the Yankees should be involved, who t...

EPISODE 112: Clay Holmes Implosion

July 15, 2022 15:00 - 50 minutes - 68.9 MB

Another good week of Yankee baseball, but with some highlights of some of our weaknesses. Clay Holmes shocked us all on Tuesday night, but is it cause for concern or just regular human fault? We got the EXCITING NEWS that Tyler Wade has been brought back to the Pinstripes a deal that may have made Lexi's heart burst. We took a trip around the league to chat about the O's recent success and are looking forward to the All-Star break!

EPISODE 111: Trade Thoughts?

July 08, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 94.3 MB

Wins are flying by now but that also means that the trade deadline is coming up. Today Lexi and Scotty talk about what they think should or just what could happen before the trade deadline and who is on the chopping block. They also talk about the upcoming series against Red Sox and their feelings towards it. Around the league one of the big thing was the youngsters. Rookie home runs, Spence Strider being very good, and of course, the stupidity of the all-star game. Finally the duo speak abo...

EPISODE 110: Matchup Of The Year

July 01, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 89.9 MB

We played the Astro this year and boy did it not disappoint. Two Judge walk-offs, getting no hit but splitting the series. A pretty crazy week. Judge also hit for number 29 as our pitching staff has started to settle into their more usual spots. We are still well in front as the best team in baseball and that can't be doubted. This week Scotty talks about that but also more things from around the league like the brawl, the Orioles and of course, the all star voting. Check out reminders about...

EPISODE 109: THERE IT GOESSSS, SEE YAAAA

June 24, 2022 14:59 - 46 minutes - 63.7 MB

THE JANKEES WIN. Although some streaks ended, we couldn't sweep Rays round 2, Clay Holmes lost his scoreless innings but all of that really doesn't mean too much. Why? BECAUSE AARON JUDGE JUST DID THAT. Give that man all the money he can hold. Scotty talks about the Yankees, some of their recent hiccups but also their amazing play. He also does a rundown of a HORRENDOUS All-Star game lineup and speaks on the absurd amount of Blue Jays on the roster without being that skilled of a team. For u...

EPISODE 108: Team Review

June 17, 2022 15:00 - 42 minutes - 58.8 MB

The team is still going off and Scotty talks about it today. He does a run down of their team stats and where they lead. He also looks into a few players independently, you can probably guess who he talks about. Being a Scotty episode you can guess there is a good amount of pitching to talk to and that is more than true here. A run down of the two almost no-nos and a few more offensive accomplishments is the look at around the league today. For information on the Yankees and podcast, go foll...

EPISODE 107: Our Human Side is Showing

June 10, 2022 15:00 - 39 minutes - 54.8 MB

Well the Yanks can't win them all and everyone can't do amazing. Nestor gave up 4 runs through 4 innings and Cole didn't have a good outing either. But the winning continues for the most part and there isn't much more to say. Scotty runs through the correct predictions that we have said throughout the 2 years of the podcast, including the baby theory, our love of Nestor and us giving respect to Clay Holmes a bit ahead of time. Today Scotty throws another interesting one out as well. The name...

EPISODE 106: The Yankee Family

June 03, 2022 15:00 - 50 minutes - 69.1 MB

Another week with not much to talk about except a continuous winning community, and we are finally looking like a family now. You see players helping each other out, taking to each other between innings and at bats. All this coming together to make a winning team. Jose Trevino has come into his role extremely well, especially as of late. With another week of positives from the Yanks, we'd need to look at other things around the league, like Joc Pederson or the absolute grind that both the Pi...

EPISODE 105: Hospital Bill

May 27, 2022 15:00 - 48 minutes - 66.5 MB

The Yankees are still winning, yes. But the injuries that we are so used to seeing in years past has hit us all at once right now. Gil, Green, Chapman, Loaisiga, Stanton and more. It feels like everyone who is important is hurt. But there are three people who aren't hurt, Clay Holmes Nestor Cortez and Aaron Judge. Possibly the hottest players in the league. We are at a point where we are using our reserves and our bullpen is fragile now. The Yankees are still winning and to see any more news...

EPISODE 104: Red Hot Yanks

May 13, 2022 15:00 - 33 minutes - 45.5 MB

THEEEEE YANKEEESSS WINNNN! We've been saying that a whole lot lately and there really isn't any singular person who is doing it, the team is coming together on all parts, offense, defense, pitching, top of the lineup, bottom of the lineup, everything is right. This week Lexi and Scotty do a breakdown of these past few great series and talk about the future of Yankees vs Blue Jays and the tension that may be there. And we may not know what will happen in the future but all we know now is the ...

EPIOSODE 103: Eleven

May 06, 2022 15:00 - 31 minutes - 43.4 MB

Yup. Eleven wins in a row, offense and defense is doing amazing. We took two from Toronto and there aren't many issues to go over. Nestor very good, King is, Judge is a man of the people. There are almost no negatives to talk about this week. First in the division and there to stay. Scotty breaks down these past two weeks and what most surprised him. For lineups and scorecards from the winning Yanks, follow us on instagram @pinstripe.podcast.

EPISODE 102: Where's the O. No, Not the Orioles

April 22, 2022 15:00 - 46 minutes - 64.4 MB

Its been a somewhat rough week. The offense is non existent, we lost to the Orioles. Cole is playing like the trash can the Astros used and Nestor is still the best pitcher in New York. Lexi and Scotty talk about the team, where we are at and how people need to improve. A lot of people need to prove themselves still and the Yanks intentionally walked Miggy on his potential 3,000th hit. Its been a rough week, let's hope it goes up. If you want to know if it goes up you can find scorecards on ...

EPISODE 101: Opening Week

April 15, 2022 15:00 - 34 minutes - 47.3 MB

One of the toughest weeks in upon us as the Yankees faced both the Red Sox and Blue Jays as they open up their season. This week Lexi and Scotty run through this episode pretty quickly. They talk about the two series to that point and some of the big names this early in the season. Names like our entire bullpen along with how much our lineups have been changed. The two also put their inputs on one of the most controversial events of the week, Clayton Kershaw being removed during a perfect ga...

EPISODE 100: Opening Day 2022

April 08, 2022 15:00 - 51 minutes - 70.9 MB

Its Opening Day, baseball is here and there is already a lot to unpack. This week, Lexi and Scotty look at the Opening Day roster of the Yankees and talk about their new pitchers. Clarke Schmidt gets his start in the major a long with a few others like Ron Marinaccio and JP Sears. Its a good looking team all around, but we are put up against a very good schedule so this year will not be easy. There was no Yankees games to talk about with the delay but Scotty and Lexi found stuff to talk to y...

EPISODE 99:One Week Away from the '22 Season

April 01, 2022 15:00 - 20 minutes - 28.4 MB

Its a quick week, probably so much to talk about that it was condensed a little too far. Scotty talks about the Yankees Spring Training as a whole, who did good, who didn't do much and who stood out but will probably not make it. Next week is the start of the season and the Pinstripes start off their season against Boston with a pitching matchup that mirrors the Wild Card Game, so yea. Feel how you want to feel about that. That's all a situation for next week, there is still one more week to...

EPISODE 98: Lets Talk Real Baseball Now

March 25, 2022 15:00 - 48 minutes - 66 MB

It's been a hot minute but both Lexi and Scotty are on the call this week. They reviewed over some blockbuster trades that happened and just talked a little deeper a long with of course, talking Yankees, the future of our infield, our pitching and how our plentiful of good pitching prospects are looking. A good week leading closely into opening day. For updates on the Yankees and lineup cards go check out our instagram @pinstripe.podcast.

EPISODE 97: Free Agency Chaos

March 18, 2022 15:00 - 39 minutes - 53.8 MB

The lockout has been lifted for a week and we are getting into spring training games. It's been a week of chaos to say the least, a bunch of trades and signings have occurred and keep occurring each hour. By this time there are still a few big free agents still out there. Trevor Story and Carlos Correa being the two biggest. But in this episode Scotty goes over each of the ones that have happened and his quick reactions. He looks deeply into the two executive decisions by the Yankees front o...

EPISODE 96: BASEBALL IS BACK BABY

March 11, 2022 16:00 - 26 minutes - 35.9 MB

You read that right, the two sides of MLB have made an agreement and we will have baseball. Scotty goes over all things to know that came with the agreement. These include: universal DH, new bases, a pitch clock, and the banning of the shift. These and more all were agreed upon in the CBA agreement and baseball is going to be back in April with a full 162 game schedule. We can't wait to see all the free agent signings and more coming these next few weeks and especially can't wait for Yankees...

EPISODE 95: Baseball is Offically Postponed

March 04, 2022 16:00 - 10 minutes - 14.1 MB

How does Rob Manfred wake up every day thinking he's doing the right thing? The lockout has officially canceled the first two series of the season and it is NOT GOOD. We don't see an end in sight, and there is no way to fix this, this was what we were all afraid of. Not much else to say really.

EPISODE 94: It's Not Looking Good

February 25, 2022 16:00 - 22 minutes - 31.1 MB

This week came with some pretty big news, bad news, but big bad news. It is not looking good for the start of the MLB season, if a deal is not reached soon, the regular season will be delayed and games will be canceled. A massive pain which is probable to happen, add that to everything that's already going on. Some good news is the planned retirement of number 21 for the Yankees, Paul O'Neill, a college kid hitting triple digits and a few interesting ways college teams are relaying signs. Co...

EPISODE 93: So... No Baesball?

February 18, 2022 16:00 - 23 minutes - 32.5 MB

There is no fun way to slice it, we were supposed to have baseball news today. Pitchers and catchers should have been a few days into Spring Training and all we have is some news regarding retirements and babies: not ideal. Will this lockout ever end??? Will we ever see the light of baseball again??? It's getting grim, but we have got to try and stay hopeful. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 92: The Retirement of a Legend

February 11, 2022 16:00 - 27 minutes - 38.4 MB

Slow progress is coming from the lockout, but still nothing much. This week we did hear from people about different views of the lockout and what progress has been made and what has been lost. Manfraud thinks the lockout will end before spring training, but it doesn't look like that'll happen. Discussions of how to stop tanking was talked about and Scotty discusses his views. The legendary umpire Joe West official retires now with the most games officiated. We also saw Vlad Sr turn 47 and th...

EPISODE 91: Sho Time

February 04, 2022 19:53 - 23 minutes - 32.3 MB

We have officially reached the bottom of the barrel for baseball information, but hey, The Show was announced! Let's try and figure out what to do for next week, but follow us on Instagram for updates! @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 90: Hall of SNUBS

January 28, 2022 16:00 - 26 minutes - 37.1 MB

Another week passes by with little news coming from the MLB. We did get the Hall of Fame inductees announced, sorry the inductee. Only Big Papi, David Ortiz got in, on his first ballot. Quite a lot did come out on this topic between Lexi and Scotty. Besides that not much happened this past week to report on. If anything is to happen make sure to keep up with it on our instagram @pinstripe.podcast.

EPISODE 89: IFA Signings

January 21, 2022 16:00 - 33 minutes - 45.8 MB

The lockout continues to drag on... yet we still have a little bit of news to share with you all! Retirements, international signings, and a little bit of league news keep us with a slight taste of baseball this week. Hopefully, we'll be back with better news next week, but sometimes it can get hard to be hopeful. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 83: Historic Hire

January 14, 2022 16:00 - 32 minutes - 44.2 MB

The Yankees made history this week with the hiring of the first female manager EVER for their Low A team. We discuss this and some retirement news that came across our desks this week as we continue to anxiously await the end of this lockout. What can we say, we have nothing else to do but dream of baseball. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 82: 2023 Hot Free Agent Chat

January 07, 2022 16:00 - 56 minutes - 78 MB

The lockout continues on, but somehow we are still talking! Ken Rosenthal was WRONGFULLY fired from a job that he did perfectly and we discuss some possible 2023 free agents. We tap on Cam Maybin's retirement and talk about the potential of an A-Rod-led broadcast. We served you up an HOUR of baseball content, isn't that something! Follow our Instagram @pinstripe.podcast
