EPISODE 81: A New Event

December 31, 2021 16:00 - 31 minutes - 42.7 MB

Another week in the lockout but this week came with the smallest bit of news. Corey Seager decided to retire and Lexi and Scotty put their inputs in on his decision. The big news came when there is new rumors of a potential expedition game occurring in New Jersey and Lexi and Scotty talk about their reactions, expectations and compare it to other expedition games that have happened. With still little happening in the league you can check out our instagram @pinstripe.podcast for any little ne...

EPISODE 80: A Few Managerial Moves

December 24, 2021 16:00 - 16 minutes - 23 MB

Week 3 of the lockout and this time there was some news, although very little. This week Scotty goes over 2 additions teams made at the manager position and his reactions and reasoning. He also takes a quick look at the updated Hall of Fame ballot and his thoughts on that as well.

EPISODE 79: Still Nothing

December 17, 2021 16:00 - 20 minutes - 27.9 MB

The lockout continues and we continue to search for content to talk about. I guess we'll give Clint Frazier the last bit of energy we have left for him after his comments on Twitter. Scotty has some fun stories to tell from school but pretty much we just miss baseball and would do just about ANYTHING for her to be back.

EPISODE 78: Nothing Happened

December 10, 2021 16:00 - 17 minutes - 23.5 MB

It's time to get boring, day number 8 of the MLB lockout with no news. We have yet to figure out what to talk about so this short episode has just some small news. Some Hall of Fame inductees and Scotty talked about his opinions on the other potential inductees and most specifically, Barry Bonds. A slow week calls for a short episode, but if anything does go down, you can find it on our instagram @pinstripe.podcast.

EPIDODE 77: Panic Mode: Engaged

December 03, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 84.3 MB

A crazy week we just had. Massive signings including, Max Scherzer, Corey Seager and Marcus Semien all signed huge contracts and yet nothing from the Yankees. With plenty of signings happening teams are seeming crazy, the Mets and the Rangers being the current leaders in total money spent in just one major week of free agency. All of this was the beginning of the week with Wednesday bringing the dreaded lockout. With this lockout there will be no signings, and no associations between players...

EPISODE 76: Tyler Wade Goodbye

November 26, 2021 16:00 - 43 minutes - 60.1 MB

With it still being early in the offseason and there being major CBA discussions still going on, there isn't much to talk about. This week Lexi and Scotty talk about the little amount of news that did happen this past week. The only news that did come out was the Rule 5 draft movements which left a few bench players on the DFA list, some that really shook us. In other news, there was one MEGA contract that happened down in Florida involving the former number 1 prospect in baseball. For Yanke...

EPISODE 75: Starting Staff

November 19, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 84.7 MB

Listen, if you told me before last season that one of our strongest assets this year was going to be pitching, I'd have laughed in your face. But Matt Blake and his staff were able to shape our starters into real threats! Scotty and Lexi go over the coveted 5th starting position and who we think within our organization may be able to hold it. Pardon the audio shift halfway through the episode, the Zoom stuff can get tough. Follow us on instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 74: Free Agent Frenzy

November 12, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 87.9 MB

The offseason has really settled in and now it's time for every crazy theory to get cooking. Today we took a look into our free agents and what we think we should do with them or to combat their loss. This is obviously going to be an all-offseason thing, but we put out some initial thoughts and feelers into the air. We also went over season awards and our opinions on who should win them. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 73: For the A

November 05, 2021 15:00 - 54 minutes - 75.4 MB

The Braves did it, Lexi knew it all along... sort of. This week we talked about what else? The World Series. With just an updated prospects list from Baseball America, there isn't much Yankee news circulating. On into the offseason where we anxiously await the arrival of trades and acquisitions. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 72: Infield Inquiries

October 29, 2021 15:00 - 49 minutes - 68.3 MB

So the Yankees have an infield predicament coming up this season... what's new? Scotty and Lexi talk about their ideal infield for the 2022 season. There are tons of rumors swirling, and those are not going away any time soon. What are you guys thinking will happen to the Pinstripes in the offseason? Of course, we had to talk about what's going on in the World Series because that's BASEBALL. We'll see you next week with a new World Champion!

EPISODE 71: Boone Returns / Conference Series

October 22, 2021 15:00 - 31 minutes - 43.4 MB

Boone is back and we aren't happy. With Booney coming back Lexi and Scotty have a few issues with this whole situation, but there was one change, a few coaching changes besides the manager. But with it being playoffs, and the Yankees being out, there isn't much to talk about. But what we did talk about in our short time included possible reasons why we would keep Boone, shortstop options, and the playoffs as they play around us. It was a short and interesting week but a week full of strong e...

EPISODE 70: The Divisional Round, For Everyone Else

October 15, 2021 15:00 - 29 minutes - 41.1 MB

It's the divisional round and the Yankees are out of the playoffs so you know what that means, we're running out of stuff to talk about. But with 4 series still going on, there is a good amount of baseball to talk about and a good amount of drama as well. Rays vs Red Sox was wild, as was the only series to go to 5 games, Dodgers, Giants. We also saw the most boring playoff baseball played between Atlanta and Milwaukee and a ton of drama be started up in the White Sox vs Astros series. Wasn't...

EPISODE 69: The End of 2021

October 08, 2021 15:00 - 49 minutes - 67.3 MB

Well, the season is over. Possibly the worst way, Cole threw terribly, only going 2 innings, the rest of our offense didn't exist and we had a rough day as a whole with Stanton missing 2 homers by 10 feet. But with the season being over, we can look at our mistakes, and that's what Lexi and Scotty do this episode, look at the last game and talk about the future of the team. Along with that they go over the rest of the post season as it happened so far including the interesting Dodgers vs Car...

EPISODE 68: It's Up to Bronxie

October 01, 2021 15:00 - 34 minutes - 46.8 MB

I haven't slept, and neither have the Yankees. As the AL Wild Card continues to be a mess, the Yanks keep pushing, mostly thanks to Giancarlo Stanton. Will our hard work pay off? Will Bronxie be the good luck charm? This week is going to be the death of many of us, but hopefully, it all pays off and we live to see October baseball. This is either going to be heartbreaking or the best year ever, and it will take us all the way to game 162 to determine it. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.pod...

EPISODE 67: Into the Thick of It

September 24, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 92.2 MB

We are IN IT ladies and gentlemen. This next week of baseball is about to be the most intense week of us Yankees' fans' lives. With every day adjusting the Wild Card standings, it will be a stressful week as we sprint to the finish. Hopefully, the Yankees will use the momentum from their last series win and take it into Boston and give us some space from the Blues Jays who have dropped behind. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 66: Wildcard Race

September 17, 2021 15:00 - 44 minutes - 61.6 MB

We're really in it now. The Yankees are facing a hard push ahead of them and we're going to need to put our best foot forward. That means offense turning when we need it to and pitching to stay sharp. Come join us deconstruct the past week and look ahead to what we've got to do this upcoming month. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 65: The Struggle Returns

September 10, 2021 15:00 - 48 minutes - 66.9 MB

The Yankees struggles continue as they've dropped 9 of their last 11 games. Injuries to Loaisiga, Cole and now Taillon is on the IL. On top of that, the offense has just slowed with everyone falling into a slump. We talked about Gallo struggles and what could possibly pull us out of this. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 64: Gerrit Cole for AL Cy Young?

September 03, 2021 15:00 - 48 minutes - 66 MB

It's time for September baseball which means it's time for predictions. After another KILLER outing, Gerrit Cole continues to be the ace we know and love. With limited free time, Scotty and Lexi didn't catch a bunch of games this week, but they can definitely chat about some of the news. Like what is Boone's plan after Gleyber's return if he really isn't going to send down Velazquez? It's a mystery that we simply cannot solve. With some other exciting stuff going on around the league, this w...

EPISODE 63: Start Spreading the News

August 27, 2021 15:00 - 32 minutes - 44.3 MB

11 games in a row. The Yankees took the Field of Dreams Game seriously and have been on an absolute tear. Mostly led by Giancarlo Stanton, this team has been a huge threat in baseball. We saw Cole face of against Josh Donaldson and absolutely dominate him, and the two hottest teams face off as a the Yanks played against the Braves. Stanton has been tearing it up at the plate and Andrew Velazquez has been doing a great job on both sides of the field. But with Gleybor's return on the horizon, ...

EPISODE 62: "We Expect To Win Right Now"

August 20, 2021 15:00 - 58 minutes - 81 MB

The Yankees are 24-9 since the All-Star game. No team is playing better than them. We are pitching well, we are hitting well and there are only so few issues with our team. Zack Britton is one of them, Andrew Heaney is kind of another and the biggest issue? What we will do with Luke Voit and Anthony Rizzo, both players are doing an amazing job separately but now they will need to share the time. Tyler Wade has been killing it, the kid Andrew Velazquez has been killing it. The Yanks are looki...

EPISODE 61: We're Winning, But It Hasn't Been Too Pretty

August 13, 2021 15:00 - 50 minutes - 69.4 MB

The Yankees have taken 9 out of their last 10 series but this last week hasn't been the prettiest. A 9 pitcher game, 2 games in extras and 7 errors in 2 games really doesn't look to good. But we've been winning most of them and you can't complain about that. DJ has started hitting, Tyler Wade started looking good and Stanton stays tearing. But we'll need a lot going into the Field of Dreams game and a series against a very good White Sox team. Around the league we saw two teams loose their f...

EPISODE 60: New York's Newest

August 06, 2021 15:00 - 36 minutes - 49.6 MB

With the trade deadline finishing up just days after last episode we have some people to cover. Anthony freakin' Rizzo came in from Chicago swinging, and swinging hard. We also saw two starts from young pitchers in Luis Gil and Stephen Redings, who is someone we've talked about briefly in a former episode. A good week of Yankees baseball came this week and for once, there wasn't a ton of negatives to say about what happened this week. In news around the league, Scotty talks about all of the ...

EPISODE 59: The One Before The Trade Deadline

July 30, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 92 MB

Well you read the title, the Joey Gallo trade just happened and we were still a few days from the end of the trade deadline while this episode was being recorded. We didn't even get to chat about THE RIZZO BOMB!!! There's so much news that we have to go over in regards to trades around the league, but the play coming from the Yankees wasn't much that we would want to talk about anyways. After some very below-average play against the Red Sox, we looked to bounce back against the Rays this wee...

EPISODE 58: The Triple-A Yankees

July 23, 2021 15:00 - 37 minutes - 51.6 MB

A great week. No complaints at all from any part of our team this week. A week in which the expectations were low with a different team playing because of injuries but we saw only good. Greg Allen showed amazing potential, Our pitching was keeping runs to an average of 5 runs or less and we were producing offensively. Around the league we saw a few updates on injured players including the birth of Luis Severinos child and Mike Trout getting back on the field. A great week going into a tough ...

EPISODE 57: The All-Star Break

July 16, 2021 15:00 - 55 minutes - 76.7 MB

We've reached the All-Star Break, well there's one more thing to go over before we get there. A huge series against the Houston Astros, Houston Asterisks, Houston Trashtros, whatever you may call them. Possibly the most hate fueled and intense series that isn't related to division. Two great games and one kick to the gut results in The Yankees going into the break with a series win but also a loss. Going into the All-Star Break and around the league, Scotty and Lexi had almost entirely posit...

EPISODE 56: Breaking Even

July 09, 2021 16:47 - 35 minutes - 48.2 MB

What an average week. 3-3, should have been 4-2, but stuff happened, there are things to be happy about, things to be upset about. But the Yankees did break even so you can't complain too much. This week, Scotty talks about how the Yankees are looking up, but what they've also done wrong. He also talks about plenty of things that happened around the league and a little about what happened in other leagues. To stay up to date on Yankees lineups, scores or moves, be sure to follow us on instag...

EPISODE 55: Frustration

July 02, 2021 15:00 - 59 minutes - 81.6 MB

Well there's not many other things to describe how the Yankees played this past week. The latest series against the Red Sox had really no positives to come out from it. The Angels series was going okay but Lexi and Scotty did find some positives from this team. The two talked plentiful about what the Yankees weren't doing and other disappointments that they felt about the team this past week. Besides the Yankees there were some positive things to talk about around the league including the Al...

EPISODE 54: #iamstillgary

June 25, 2021 16:15 - 56 minutes - 76.9 MB

The Yankees are starting to look good. Gary Sanchez is looking like the Gary we like, ripping dingers, Luke Voit came off the IL with a BANG and the defense is still solid. Although all of these things are good, the Yanks are still not perfect and we saw an almost perfect bullpen show their flaws. The sticky stuff didn't seem to affect Cole all that much with two huge comeback starts. Around the league we talk about the first week of substance checks, the explosiveness of Kyle Schwarber, and...

EPISODE 53: A Division Win

June 18, 2021 15:00 - 34 minutes - 47.4 MB

A division win against a rival, now that's new. After a somewhat rocky series against the Phillies the Yankees have jumped back into the groove of things and have started to look like the team we know. This week Scotty breaks who and what has been working so well for the Yanks along with what works, but could still improve a bit. He also talks plenty about the first week of the new pitching rules including reactions and results from different pitchers from around the league. The first All-St...

EPISODE 52: Cole's Sticky Situation

June 11, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 84.5 MB

With the MLB now cracking down on the use of substance by pitchers, some big name players seem to be put on the spot on how they can preform. Gerrit Cole is certainly one of them, and Lexi and Scotty talk about Cole's potential use along with who else could have used it and their opinion on the situation. Along with that, they talk about the absolute roller coaster of weeks that the yankees have had, the goods, the bads, and the Andujar's. Then with around the league, Lexi and Scotty talk ab...

EPISODE 51: On the Right Track?

June 04, 2021 15:00 - 48 minutes - 67.2 MB

After an embarrassing series against the Tigers, the Yankees pull two against the division rival Rays. Is this a good sign as to what’s to come? In this week's episode, Scotty looks over the good and the bad that the Yankees showed off including the incredible stats that the bullpen has been showing up recently and Gary's goofs. With All-Star voting just starting, Scotty touched upon his thoughts about each league's lineups and why. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 50: Week Full of Pitching

May 28, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 88.5 MB

This week Lexi and Scotty celebrate their 50th episode! They go in-depth about a great week of pitching from the Yankees starters, especially against a top-tier team like the White Sox. The two also discuss the ever-expanding IL list for the Bronx Bombers, with new additions, Corey Kluber and Luke Voit (again). A quick look at the standing all across the MLB clearly shows the immense amount of competition that the Yankees will face all year long through tough rivalry series as well as the ra...

EPISODE 49: No-No Party

May 21, 2021 15:00 - 57 minutes - 79.7 MB

Oh, you think there are too many no-no's in baseball? Let's add a Yankee one to that list. Corey Kluber put himself in the history books this week and while it was beautiful and amazing, there were other things (unfortunately) to talk about. I rattled on today about treating starting pitchers fairer, how Gio continues to be the heart of our offense and what outfielder I think the Yankees should trade for. Follow us on Instagram to keep up to date on all things Yankee @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 48: On the Rise

May 14, 2021 15:00 - 48 minutes - 66.2 MB

IT's all Scotty this week as we add two more series wins to the Yankees season. A great outing by Monty and an even better one from the Cole train has us feeling good about the Yanks. Couldn't have had a better week than we did, everything is starting to look up compared to the team we saw just weeks ago. Judge slumped and recovered, Torres decides to rev up and Gio, well he's Gio. A further look into the Yankees pitching along with around-the-league thoughts including a potential move from ...

EPISODE 47: The Yankees are Oh So Hot

May 07, 2021 15:00 - 49 minutes - 68 MB

Is there really anything better than Yankee baseball right now? Starting pitching is HERE, Stanton Streak is INSANE, and our relievers are UNHITTABLE. Wow, this is the team we signed up for, this is the team we love. Hear us just rain the team with compliments and admiration because there is nothing we love more than this team right now. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 46: OMG We're Winning Again!

April 30, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 88.3 MB

Last week was just a fluke, right? The Yankees get back on track this week and have won games! Not only did our offense wake up, but our starting pitchers performed like they have played baseball before. Wow, what a week. But it wasn't all happy things. Michael King is still stuck in this purgatory of is he or isn't on the team, and we sadly let go of Mike Tauchman. However, hopefully, these things all work themselves out and the Yankees can keep this going. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe...

EPISODE 45: Hell Week

April 23, 2021 15:00 - 48 minutes - 67.1 MB

There is no other way to explain this week other than right out of hell. One of the slowest starts in Yankee history has made them nearly unwatchable, and it's hard to find any goodness in this team right now. A flat offense, one-performing pitcher, and a lack of heart have made this team seem like they don't want to be on the field. We actually gave up on talking about the Yankees because we just couldn't do it, it was a tough one this week. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 44: Looking for the New York Yankees

April 16, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 86.9 MB

Him just wondering where our team went? Has anyone seen them? The Yankees put out a depressing show this week and most of it has to stem from our offense. Runs have been hard to come by for this team and starting pitching hasn't been giving them a whole lot of chances either. Our shining light has been our bullpen, but we can't rely just on them, they need to stay efficient! We tried to work out what some of our issues may be, come talk about it with us on our Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 43: RISP Are Supposed to SCORE

April 09, 2021 15:00 - 55 minutes - 75.7 MB

Happy first week of baseball!!! While this is the happiest week of the year, there are obviously already things to question about the team's performance. Yes, we know this is a small sample size and things will change as the season goes on and blah blah blah, but we had to do some good old complaining. Our failure to score runners is nearly laughable but is also definitely painful. The bright spot that we highlighted is some great pitching performances through both our starters and our bullp...

EPISODE 42: Baseball is Back, Remain Calm

April 02, 2021 15:00 - 57 minutes - 78.9 MB

Hello and welcome to a fun and funky episode for the beginning of this AWESOME TIME. Today we talked our way through the first 3 innings of the Yankees Opening Day game against the Blue Jays. After some technical difficulties, Lexi and Scotty got to be (almost) on the same page. It's hard to put into words how good it feels to see baseball played again and mean something, so let's just dive right in. To keep up with the Yankees, follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 41: Seager Rumors and Bench Chat

March 26, 2021 15:00 - 44 minutes - 60.6 MB

Don't mind the Yankees, there are already rumors about what they're doing NEXT OFFSEASON. Corey Seager has the attention of most of the league, and the Yanks are no exception. Let's fantasize about how this powerhouse pick-up could change the topography of our team, but then let's come back to right now. We've got a battle for our last bench place that is being decided right now! Tauchman and Bruce have been a heated conversation, and the answer has to be confirmed pretty much now. We talked...

EPISODE 40: Pitching Party

March 19, 2021 15:00 - 36 minutes - 49.9 MB

We know there isn't much to talk about with Spring Training, we're struggling too. With limited televised games, half the time we don't even see what's happening. However, we are aware of the absolutely insane performances some of our pitchers are giving. We talk about a few of our standouts from the past week and how we feel about their likelihood to be in the rotation this year. We also discuss who's going to take that last spot on the roster, it's going to be tough. Follow us on Instagram...

EPISODE 39: Scary Scary Starting Lineup

March 12, 2021 16:00 - 48 minutes - 66.6 MB

This week was full of explosive offense and awesome pitching performances. As we inch closer and closer to opening day, we try to figure out just who is going to make the bubble of the 40 man. With pitching help needed and that back-up defensive role up for grabs, it is a hot topic that we cannot get enough of. Who do you think should make the team? Let us know on our Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

EPISODE 38: Nobody Panic, We've Got Baseball

March 05, 2021 16:00 - 54 minutes - 74.5 MB

The time has finally arrived: BASEBALL GAMES ARE HERE!! Yeah, sure they're spring training games and don't mean anything but still! It's baseball! While nothing that happens here holds a significant amount of weight, there are still some notable moments. Gary's comeback season? Derek Dietrich making the 40 man? How about Severino's progress? Just because they don't go on the record doesn't mean there aren't important things to look into and check out. To get daily lineups and scorecards foll...

EPISODE 37: Judge's Shiny Teeth and Him

February 26, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 92 MB

We are so close to Yankee baseball, it's crazy. While our position players arrived this week, all we could talk about was our pitching staff. With news breaking about Schmidt, then Germán apologizes, and our new additions getting settled in it's hard not to be excited about them. We just can't wait to see them play some ball. To keep up with us between episodes follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast

February 19, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 94 MB

With action coming from all our new arms and seeing our returners, today was a goooooood day. Along with huge news around the league, there was a lot to talk about today.

EPISODE 35: Spring Training Prep and Big Deals

February 12, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 96.1 MB

We are under a week until pitchers and catchers report to Florida and we could not be more excited. With Taillon constantly showing how excited he is and Judge and Stanton taking a new approach to their offseason prep, this year is pretty exciting. Along with a hyperactive week across the league, there was a lot to cover this week. With a pit stop to talk about football, this week had a whole lot of content to hear.

EPISODE 34: Arenado on the Move, and a Royal Let Down

February 05, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 86.5 MB

Nolan Arenado is the hottest third baseman in baseball and he just flew out of Colorado on over to the Cardinals. Scotty and Lexi are in disbelief and talk about how this will affect the American League Central. They also got to talk all good things about Fernando Tatis Jr. gracing the cover of MLB The Show and which console Scotty is going to buy it on. With one of their last team dives, the pair look into the depressing Kansas City Royals and just cannot imagine the pain that these fans mu...

EPISODE 33: Tanaka, Taillon, and Tigers

January 29, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 94.4 MB

Pitchers were all the news this week for the New York Yankees. With the trade for Jameson Taillon, the signing of Darren O'Day, and the official loss of Masahiro Tanaka, the arms were all the rage to talk about this week. Is Taillon going to be effective? Will submarine pitcher O'Day be a good fit for the pinstripes? We take our guesses on what we hope to see out of these hopeful arms this season. Hear us break down how well Cashman has been able to stay under the luxury tax and still create...

EPISODE 32: The Offseason Moves HAPPENED

January 22, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 90.8 MB

The Yankees got their MAN!!! DJ is now a Yankee for the rest of his career, and we could not be happier about it. We also snatched up Kluber, so we had so much fun Yankee news to talk about this week you won't want to miss it! Obviously, there was movement all over the league, so there was so much action. The Padres still have more prospects, the Blue Jays snag talent, and then we dove into the boys in Cleveland, this one is info heavy, so get ready! Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast
