EP 111: Happy Endings

We tend to bring up Robinson Cano a lot on the PahSahp, so it would be wrong of us not to discuss his latest developments. We didn’t really want to, but we’re professionals. Yes, consummate professionals be we. We’re certainly not totally goofballs or anything like that. Nope.

In addition to the sad news about Cano, we talk about the slump of Sir Didi Gregorius, the promotion of Clint Frazier, and the fact that Sonny Gray pitching to Austin Romine does not mean Gray will actually pitch well. Also, it turns out that winning series after series after series after series after series after series after series is actually a sound strategy for winning the division. The Yankees should keep doing exactly that. This is the sound analysis you can always expect on the Pinstripe Alley Podcast.

All this plus the Yankee and Mitre of the Week.

EP 110: Non Si Puo Problemarlo

As of the record of this PahSahp, the Yankees had not lost a single game. Loyal PahSahpees will know that we always like to lead off with the bad. Loyal Yankee fans will know that there was really nothing bad to talk about this week. The Yankees have been playing incredible, inconceivable baseball right now. They had a nine-game winning streak, lost a game to the World Series defending Houston Astros, then went on an eight-game winning streak before that came to an end last night. The worst thing we talk about are the Mets, because oh boy did the Mets pull a peak Metsing.

So what did we even talk about? Well, Neil Walker’s bat is coming alive. Domingo German pitched a gem. Greg Bird is starting his rehab and he should be back up soon. CC Sabathia says that he will probably retire if the Yankees win it all this year. Gleyber Torres looks very comfortable on defense and offense. All that, plus the Yankee and Mitre of the week, even though it wasn’t easy selecting a Mitre. It’s hard to choose a Mitre when the team does not lose.

These Yankees are good and fun.

EP 109: Break My Stride

I wanted to double check this fact just to make sure it was 100% accurate before typing it. What is that fact, you might ask? Since the recording of Episode 107 of the Pinstripe Alley Podcast, which was April 20th, and today’s posting of this week’s episode, the New York Yankees have only lost a total of two games. Two. Games. I think it’s safe to say that the Yankees are playing decent baseball as of late.

Greg and Kunj discuss said decent playing of the baseball. First things first, the injury updates of Jordan Montgomery, Jacoby Ellsbury, Clint Frazier, Jacoby Ellsbury, Greg Bird, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Jacoby Ellsbury. Following that, the better stuff. The bullpen, the starting pitching, Gary Sanchez, Didi Gregorius, Domingo German, and much more. It’s been such a good couple of weeks that it was not an easy task picking a Mitre of the Week. Everything is going well. Here’s hoping it’s still going well when we record Episode 110.
