2023-11-2440 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 128: Yankee Fan PurgatoryTough 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
2022-11-0433 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 127: Heartbreak.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
2022-10-281h 01The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 120: All Eyes on JudgeThis 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 @ pinstripe.podcast
2022-09-091h 07The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 118: Oswaldo has got the DOG in himThree 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.

2022-08-191h 01The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 113: All-Star SotoThe 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 they would have to give...
2022-07-2235 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 112: Clay Holmes ImplosionAnother 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!
2022-07-1550 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 111: Trade Thoughts?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 about the future of the World Baseball Classic as that...

The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 104: Red Hot YanksTHEEEEE 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 Yankees are the best team in...
2022-05-1333 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 102: Where's the O. No, Not the OriolesIts 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 our instagram...
2022-04-2246 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 101: Opening WeekOne 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 game. For podcast updates along with...
2022-04-1534 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 100: Opening Day 2022Its 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 you...
2022-04-0851 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 98: Lets Talk Real Baseball NowIt's been a hot minute but both Lexi and Scotty are on the call this week.

2022-02-0423 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 90: Hall of SNUBSAnother 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.

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
2022-01-2133 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 83: Historic HireThe 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
2022-01-1432 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 82: 2023 Hot Free Agent ChatThe 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
2022-01-0756 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 81: A New EventAnother 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 news that may have to do with the Yankees.
2021-12-3131 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 80: A Few Managerial MovesWeek 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.
2021-12-2416 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 79: Still NothingThe 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.
2021-12-1720 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 78: Nothing HappenedIt'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.
2021-12-1017 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPIDODE 77: Panic Mode: EngagedA 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 and teams until a new CBA deal is agreed upon. For news about the podcast...
2021-12-031h 01The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 76: Tyler Wade GoodbyeWith 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 Yankee and Podcast news follow our instagram @pinstripe.podcast.
2021-11-2643 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 75: Starting StaffListen, 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
2021-11-191h 01The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 74: Free Agent FrenzyThe 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
2021-11-121h 03The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 73: For the AThe Braves did it, Lexi knew it all along... sort of. This week we talked about what else? The World Series.

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!
2021-10-2949 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 71: Boone Returns / Conference SeriesBoone 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 emotions. Follow us on instagram @pinstripe.podcast for...
2021-10-2231 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 70: The Divisional Round, For Everyone ElseIt'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 a lot of...
2021-10-1529 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 69: The End of 2021Well, 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 Cardinals Wild Card Game and our...
2021-10-0849 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 68: It's Up to BronxieI 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.podcast
2021-10-0134 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 67: Into the Thick of ItWe 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
2021-09-241h 07The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 66: Wildcard RaceWe'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
2021-09-1744 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 65: The Struggle ReturnsThe 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
2021-09-1048 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 64: Gerrit Cole for AL Cy Young?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 week's roundup was to the point and useful for all baseball fans...
2021-09-0348 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 63: Start Spreading the News11 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, what is going to be the solution...
2021-08-2732 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 62: "We Expect To Win Right Now"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 looking amazing. Around the league we...
2021-08-2058 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 61: We're Winning, But It Hasn't Been Too PrettyThe 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 first place pedestal including the Red Sox dropping a lot...
2021-08-1350 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 60: New York's NewestWith 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 other big trades that went down and his reactions from...
2021-08-0636 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 59: The One Before The Trade DeadlineWell 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 week. For updates on lineups and...
2021-07-301h 06The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 58: The Triple-A YankeesA 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 series against the Red Sox in Fenway. For...
2021-07-2337 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 57: The All-Star BreakWe'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 positive things to say about what they saw from the the Home Run...
2021-07-1655 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 56: Breaking EvenWhat 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.

2021-07-0935 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 55: FrustrationWell 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 All-Star weekend and all of its special events, what the Nationals are doing...
2021-07-0259 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 54: #iamstillgaryThe 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 the surprising lineup so far for the Home Run...
2021-06-2556 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 53: A Division WinA 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-Star voting results went out and they were mostly predicable but...
2021-06-1834 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 52: Cole's Sticky SituationWith 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 about some players who are being slept...
2021-06-111h 01The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 51: On the Right Track?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
2021-06-0448 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 50: Week Full of PitchingThis 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 race to the top on the other side of the country. Follow us on...
2021-05-281h 04The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 49: No-No PartyOh, 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.

2021-05-2157 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 48: On the RiseIT'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 the Athletics and way too early seasonal award...
2021-05-1448 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 47: The Yankees are Oh So HotIs 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
2021-05-0749 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 46: OMG We're Winning Again!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.podcast
2021-04-301h 04The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 45: Hell WeekThere 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
2021-04-2348 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 44: Looking for the New York YankeesHim 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
2021-04-161h 03The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 43: RISP Are Supposed to SCOREHappy 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 bullpen.

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.

2021-04-0257 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 41: Seager Rumors and Bench ChatDon'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 about how our pitchers are looking and how freaking EXCITED we are...
2021-03-2644 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 40: Pitching PartyWe 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 @pinstripe.podcast
2021-03-1936 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 39: Scary Scary Starting LineupThis 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?

2021-03-0554 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 37: Judge's Shiny Teeth and HimWe 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 Taillon constantly showing how excited he is and Judge and Stanton taking a new approach to their offseason prep, this year is pretty exciting.

2021-02-121h 09The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 34: Arenado on the Move, and a Royal Let DownNolan 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 must experience. To follow the show, find...
2021-02-051h 02The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 33: Tanaka, Taillon, and TigersPitchers 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 a team that has a...
2021-01-291h 08The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 32: The Offseason Moves HAPPENEDThe 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
2021-01-221h 06The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 31: A Trip to the Windy CityThis week we were kind of all over the place before we dug into the Chicago White Sox. Both of us can admit neither of us has really given the team much thought the past few years, but boy will we now! They've got a pitching staff that won't quit and the obvious energy and talent of Tim Anderson. We also touched on MLBs predictions of the next 10 World Series and thought they were pretty BS and the rumors surrounding Fernando Tatis Jr. contract, that will be fun to keep an eye on. Follow us on Instagram @pinstripe.podcast
2021-01-151h 08The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 30: Francisco Lindor Trade and the TwinsWow oh wow, today's episode was all over the place. We talked about Yasiel Puig and the recent Yankee movement that has been happening. Additionally, we talked about the leap that Bianca Smith made for women by being hired by the Boston Red Sox and the drama that is surrounding Rachel Luba. While we were recording we got the news that Francisco Lindor was traded to the Mets along with Carlos Carrasco. You get to hear our LIVE reactions as the news breaks, it was pretty crazy. Our team deep dive this week was on the Minnesota Twins as...
2021-01-081h 04The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 29: Padres Power Moves and Miami ViceThis week would have been a hell of a week to be a Padres fan huh? Lexi and Scotty look at the trades that Slam Diego made this week and try to understand how it was possible. They also realize how Yankee fans probably would have never made the trade because we have a connection issue to some of our prospects. With some chat about Gary Sanchez, the focus wasn't exactly on the Yankees this week. The deep dive finished up the East by heading into Miami and looking at the Marlins, quite the club is being put together...
2021-01-0159 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 28: Under the Grapefruit Tree Review and Title HangoverMerry day after Christmas everyone, let's get back to buisness. This week we dove right into the Nationals and what they have been doing since winning the World Series– it hasn't been much. We tried to understand what caused such a flat season, we'll get back to you when it's a skills issue. In Yankee terms, we talked about the rumors that continue to fly around DJ and the news of Tommy Kahnle going to the Dodgers. We also obviously watch Under the Grapefruit Tree so come hear our takes on the documentary about the truly legendary pitcher. To ke...
2020-12-261h 15The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 27: We Have Actual Yankee News and The Braves are Winning the NLSo much Yankee news this week, it's like our show is actually about them! We got two different stories this week about the gap between the DJ contract, but wow don't we all just want that mess to be over. Boone had a press conference this week that talk about some pretty important things, and it was good to hear the things he was saying. Across the league, there's been a lot of motion too, with signings, talks, and rumors flying around more and more as we get deeper into the offseason. The team that we took a close...
2020-12-1857 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 26: Will the Phillies Ever Reach the Postseason?As we continue our trip through the league, our stop this week is in Philadelphia to take a look at Bryce Harper and the Phillies. There is a lot to unpack here with Realmuto being one of the hottest free agents of this offseason. That paired with the recent drama around if they can afford to keep Zach Wheeler, it's hard to believe that this team just spent $330 million dollars on Bryce Harper to build a serious contender in the NL East. Lexi and Scotty work their way through the lineup to figure out what the team looks like...
2020-12-111h 00The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 25: The Other New York TeamContract tending is here and although Scotty and Lexi are not completely sure how to talk about them, they do know what it means. This week we discussed the Gary tendered contract and a few others who may or may not have received the same offer. In our team deep dive today, we traveled to Queens to check out what that other team in New York is about. The Mets are an interesting team to look at, and I'm sure you'll find a laugh in some of their stats, but be surprised by others. For up to date baseball...
2020-12-0449 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 24:The Rival Rays and the Braves ArsenalThis week with the Charlie Morton signing, the Braves really showed their plan to overthrow the Dodgers in the National League, they aren't letting them sit atop for long. Scotty and Lexi talked about how effective that rotation is going to be, and trust me, it'll be scary. Our team breakdown for this week is one that no one wants to hear, but it's about the success that the Rays have had and how their organization did it. This one hurt to talk about, not going to lie, but it had to be done. How can you beat a...
2020-11-2759 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 23: Kim Ng is My Idol and What to Know About the O'sIt was hard for me to want to talk about anything other than the Kim Ng hiring this week, but I have a job to do! We introduced a new segment to the show around Trevor Bauer and also talked about how we are still contractless with DJ. Our breakdown for this week was on the Baltimore Orioles, a team that neither Scotty nor myself are all that familiar with like I genuinely cannot tell you a single person on that team. However, as they are in our division it is important to just remember any possible threats they...
2020-11-2058 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 22: The Boston Red SucksOh yes, who doesn't love to see the downfall of our longtime enemy? Come see for yourself the fall of the Red Sox as they go through a "rebuild" after losing a generational talent. Don't worry, there is plenty of trouble for the team that rounded out the American League East this playoff run. Although their talent wasn't where they needed, I still harbor quite a bit of anger towards the team and their manager who has been taken out of his timeout. We are still awaiting a DJ contract, hopefully, we can bring good news about that next...
2020-11-1356 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 21: What's Going on in Toronto?The first full week of no baseball, and we were hit with a very hard week. Of course, baseball at this time seems foolish to talk about, but it can also be a nice escape from the anxieties that we are surrounded by. Today we dove into our first team in the American League East: The Toronto Blue Jays. A young team with a lot of talent, Scotty and I dove into their starting 9, top 4 pitchers and then took a look into their farm system. How do we think they'll fair next season, and what do we think the...
2020-11-0644 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 20: Welcome the New World Series Champions: the Los Angeles DodgersThey finally did it, after many close calls, the Dodgers have successfully won the Commissioners trophy! I mean, you can look back at nearly every episode we did this year, and you can hear us talk about how they were the best team in the league, and they proved it this year. While my prediction of Rays in 7 was nowhere near correct, we got some highly competitive games. Today we talked about Game 4, the controversial pull of Snell, and went through some of the hottest free agents and their likely landing spots this offseason. To talk baseball between episodes...
2020-10-3054 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 19: Welcome to the Fall ClassicWe've made it: the World Series is here. Of course, while we were all hoping for it to be the Yankees, the Tampa Bay Rays and the Los Angeles Dodgers have come to show us a solid series. Tied at 1 game each going into the weekend, Scotty and I are here to talk about our predictions of winners, game number, and postseason MVP. We touched on the Gold Glove finalist announcements and what we hope to come from those–obviously, a Gio and Clint win. Come listen to some of our hot takes and let me know if you ag...
2020-10-231h 04The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 18: Season's Over, Now What?No one wanted to see it go this way, but unfortunately, the Yankees could not pull out a win against the Tampa Bay Rays. This week we talked about what went wrong in the game that ultimately sent us home and the frustrations that we have felt from the communication coming from the front office. Scotty and I also have divided and conquered watching both the ALCS and NLCS respectively, so we give some of our own insight on those series. We also run you guys through what is going to happen with the show once baseball is over...
2020-10-1647 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 17: ALDS Fight, Will the Offense be There When We Need It?The Yankees have made it interesting at PETCO! Recorded on Thursday afternoon, little did Scotty and I know that we would be having a winner-takes-all Game 5 tonight! Because of this, we talked about the games in the first half of the week and what we need to do to be able to secure this series. We discussed Stanton's offensive explosion, Cole's great playoff starts, and the prospect of Higgy getting the starting job. There has been a lot of great baseball to watch this week, probably the best games all season all happened the same week, but tonight is...
2020-10-0949 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 16: Goodbye Indians, Hello RaysOh BABY! What a great week to be a Yankee fan. A sweep in Cleveland showed us the Yankees are not here to screw around in the playoffs. With an electric showing from the offense and a great pitching performance, we were able to get past the Indians in two games. Now, we head to Petco to play the Rays. This week Scotty and I broke down what was so successful for the Yankees and talked about the status of the rest of the playoffs. We've got a big week ahead of us, but the way that we played...
2020-10-021h 04The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 15: Playoff's Clinched But Consistency is in QuestionWe did it! After an up and down season, we clinched our spot into this year's weird playoffs. Hopefully, we are able to bring our best team into it, not the offensively flat and defensively concerning team that has popped up a few times this week. We talked about what the future holds for names like Kyle Higashioka and Tanaka and if the Yankees will keep them in pinstripes. Around the horn, we covered who has all clinched playoff births and how we would ideally see the playoffs working out. To talk baseball between episodes follow me on Twitter...
2020-09-2557 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 14: Welcome Back Bronx Bombers!Finally, Yankee baseball is a fun watch again. After a 2-week nightmare stretch where it was easy to find things to be upset about, the team really turned it around. Homeruns are coming from everywhere, with Higgy finding his stick and of course, LUKE VOIT is out here, already with more home runs than when we recorded this literally a day ago. The man is crazy. The team is crazy. What a great time for us to all come off of the IL because it's almost playoff time! This is our final push, and we have a whole lot...
2020-09-181h 04The Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 13: In Need of a Clubhouse Man and Some Energy, ProntoOh boy, we really thought it couldn't get worse from last week, huh? 5 straight losses and they were games that we SHOULD HAVE and NEEDED to win. The frustration is obvious here for Yankee fans, what's happening? Scotty and I talk through our frustrations and realize that maybe what we're missing is a clubhouse guy and one that can keep themself on the field. Hopefully, we can turn this around before it's too late, the extended playoffs might be a savior we didn't even know we needed this year. Around the horn, Scotty shines a light on some bright...
2020-09-1151 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 12: A Week from Yankee Hell, Do We Remember How to Win?There's no way to sugar coat it, this week in Yankee baseball was atrocious. With the flat offense and our bullpen apparently needing to give up a game-tying or winning homerun every game, watching games have become difficult. This week we talked about the Mets mess and the Rays nightmare, and hope that we can figure out how to beat the O's this week. Around the horn, we talked about the most notable trades to us and how the Padres are becoming an increasing threat in the West. All of this and more on this week's episode of the...
2020-09-0449 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEpisode 11: Braves Embarrassment, Trade Possibilities and the Sports BoycottsThis week we had our first of many long-distance episodes. We didn't have much Yankee baseball to talk about thanks to the Mets ruining our fun, but there was content none the less. The purchase of Brantley raises questions about Higgy, and who are we willing to give up to hopefully get another strong starting pitcher? Around the horn, we talked about the most important thing: the boycotts. We expressed our opinions on them and how we think they are important and impactful. To share your opinions about what's going on in baseball or any sport, talk to me...
2020-08-2831 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 10: The IL Strikes Again, Voit is a Monster, and Slam Diego is CrazyThis week the Yankees got a visit from their old friend the IL. With Judge, Stanton, LeMahieu, and Britton all being sent down by the time this was recorded. We later found out that Torres was taken out of the game and that Paxton had arm pain, will it ever end? Thankfully Luke Voit took the offense into his own hand and has been absolutely lighting it up alongside our favorite underdog Clint Frazier. Around the horn, we took a look at some of the more serious issues that happened in baseball this week including the Reds announcer and...
2020-08-211h 11The Pinstripe PodcastEpisode 9: With Judge and Stanton Injured Means it's Frazier's Time to Shine, A's Astros Brawl and is Charlie Blackmon Getting the Attention He Deserves?With injuries to Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge, the Yankees will try to find success with Clint Frazier. This week Scott talks about that and the crazy game from Mike Ford this week along with how the Astros are back in the news with a fight against the Athletics.

2020-08-1432 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEpisode 8: Aaron Judge is Unstoppable, The Sockman Doesn't Quit, and is Mike Trout Better Now as a Dad?This week Scotty and Lexi talk about quite a few things. We broke down the nearly perfect week that the Yankees just worked through. Gary and Gardner both managed to push hits across so the hate can maybe stop for a little. We chatted about our offensive power and how it seems like we just can't be stopped. The DFA announcements were good news to us because hopefully, it means that Mike Tauchman can get the starting job that he deserves. We took a trip around the league to discuss some other powerful offenses, Shane Bieber, the Cespedes predicament...
2020-08-0747 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEpisode 7: Offensive Assistance Needed, #FreeJoeKelly, and COVID CasesWhat a week for Yankee baseball! With Corona postponing our Phillies series, there was a lot of action outside of New York. Joe Kelly did what we all needed, but the ever-spreading virus is a serious concern across the league.

2020-07-2427 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 5: My Possible Opening Day LineupWith our current injury list taking down quite a few of our ideal starters, there is a scramble to figure out who will be on the field.

Let me know what you think the opening day lineup will look like on Twitter @lexisemanchik.
2020-03-0618 minThe Pinstripe PodcastEPISODE 4: Sevy Down, What Now?One of my biggest nightmares came true this week, Luis Severino needs Tommy John Surgery and will be out for the entire 2020 season.
