HALFWAY MARK: The Yankees' MVP and LVP of 2026 (so far) could be a surprise Jul 02, 2026

Show notes

New York Yankees hit the midseason mark with question marks and controversy. Who stands out as the Bronx Bombers’ MVP—and who’s dragging the team down? Stacey Gotsulias and Brian McKeon go head-to-head, spotlighting Cam Schlittler's Cy Young candidacy and Ben Rice’s steady bat as potential season saviors, while Austin Wells’s struggles at the plate and Aaron Judge’s lingering injury woes spark debate about the Yankees’ true least valuable player.

From analyzing Ben Rice’s splits, fielding impact, and the void left by Judge, to breaking down the Yankees’ brutal recent stretch and fading lead over the Tampa Bay Rays, the hosts dissect the team's critical juncture. Previewing the series against the Minnesota Twins—including key matchups featuring Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon—they question whether home attendance will plummet during a losing streak and scorching holiday weekend. Can the Yankees rebound and reclaim the AL East lead, or is more frustration on the horizon?

ROCK BOTTOM: Yankees OFFENSE Collapses In What Is Now The Worst Stretch Since 2023? Jul 01, 2026

Show notes

New York Yankees spiral as offensive woes and lifeless play spark fan outrage. Can someone spark a turnaround, or is the team doomed to another midseason collapse?

The conversation focused on the Yankees’ historic slump, dissecting recent losses to the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers, failures with runners in scoring position, and a stunning lack of energy in the clubhouse. One concept discussed was the recurring pattern of excuses from management regarding injuries and scheduling, with Gerrit Cole and Giancarlo Stanton’s absences highlighted but not accepted as justification. Several points were raised, including questions about leadership from Judge as captain, the front office’s “just get to the playoffs” mentality, and whether the Yankees deserve to compare themselves to powerhouses like the Los Angeles Dodgers. The discussion explored where the true blame lies for the team’s decline—and whether anyone will step up before the season slips away.

YANKEES POSTCAST: Yankees Losing SKID Stretches to 7, Longest Since 2023 Jul 01, 2026

Show notes

The New York Yankees’ losing streak stretched to seven, their longest in three years, as Camilo Doval forced in the go-ahead run with a bases-loaded walk to Spencer Torkelson in a four-run 11th inning that gave the Detroit Tigers a 6-2 victory Wednesday.

New York rallied with two runs in the ninth and stranded runners at second and third in the 10th when Keider Montero (5-5) struck out Ali Sánchez.

With two outs and one on in the 11th, Doval (3-1) intentionally walked Riley Greene, then issued consecutive walks to Hao-Yu Lee and Torkelson. Zach McKinstry followed with a two-run single and another run scored on a throwing error by Sánchez, the Yankees catcher - New York’s 17th error in 12 games.

New York is on its longest losing streak since a nine-game skid from Aug. 12-22, 2023. The Yankees, missing Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Trent Grishman, had seven hits and totaled just 23 in their last six games. New York has lost 11 of 14 and is 12-15 since Judge fractured a rib.

Detroit took three games from New York, its first series sweep of the Yankees since 2008.

Down 2-0, New York tied the game in the ninth when Amed Rosario homered and Drew Anderson threw a run-scoring wild pitch.

Rookie Kevin McGonigle homered in the third off Will Warren and Greene lifted a sacrifice fly in the sixth.

Troy Melton held the Yankees to two hits in 6 1/3 innings on a 95-degree Fahrenheit day.

YANKEES POSTCAST: 'Big Trouble, Little Offense' as Yanks Skid Hits 6 Jul 01, 2026

Show notes

Tarik Skubal pitched six innings of one-hit ball and Riley Greene hit two of Detroit's four homers off Cam Schlittler as the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees 9-3 on Tuesday night and sent New York to its season-worst sixth straight loss.

The Tigers hit five homers overall against the Yankees for the first time since Aug. 30, 2018.

Skubal (4-4), making his fourth start since returning from elbow surgery, allowed only Ben Rice’s 23rd homer in the first inning and an unearned run in the sixth. The two-time defending AL Cy Young Award winner struck out nine and walked none after allowing four runs to the Yankees last week in Detroit.

Skubal threw 61 of 87 pitches for strikes and retired 12 straight after Rice’s homer in the first.

Greene hit a solo shot during a four-run first inning off Schlittler (8-5) and added a two-run drive in the third for a 6-1 lead. It was Greene’s eighth career multi-homer game.

Before Greene's first homer, Kerry Carpenter hit a solo shot in which center fielder Spencer Jones could not complete a leaping catch at the right-center field fence and saw the ball pop out of his glove into the Yankees’ bullpen.

Spencer Torkelson hit a two-run homer to cap a 10-pitch at-bat in which he fouled off six pitches.

Schlittler allowed a career-high six runs runs and seven hits in four-plus innings. The hard-throwing right-hander had his ERA climb from 1.62 to 2.08.

Schlittler allowed four homers after allowing six homers in his first 17 starts. He had never allowed more than two in any start and became the first Yankees pitcher to allow four homers to the Tigers since Chuck Cary in 1989 at Tiger Stadium.

Detroit's James Outman hit a three-run homer in the sixth off Ryan Yarbrough after second baseman José Caballero committed a throwing error on a force play.

New York has managed just 16 hits in its last five games.

ROCK BOTTOM: Yankees’ URGENT Crisis—Aaron Boone’s Postgame and a Culture of Losing Jun 30, 2026

Show notes

New York Yankees hit rock bottom with a lifeless 7-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers, sparking questions about organizational complacency and clubhouse leadership. Have manager Aaron Boone’s postgame messages lost their impact, or is the team’s culture too comfortable with prolonged slumps?

Brian McKeon breaks down the Yankees’ alarming losing streak, highlighting critical defensive lapses, lack of urgency, and poor responses from key players like Jasson Domínguez and Cody Bellinger. Discussion centers on the Yankees’ June swoon, expectations for ace Cam Schlittler as a potential losing streak stopper, and injury updates on stars like John Carlos Stanton and Max Fried. How will the Yankees bounce back against the Tigers, and can they reignite their playoff aspirations before it’s too late?

YANKEES POSTCAST: SKID Hits 5 as Tigers Smoke Bombers Jun 30, 2026

Show notes

It was a painful night for the Yankees on Monday at Yankee Stadium.

New York lost to the Tigers, 7-3, its fifth straight defeat and eighth in its past 10 games. Worse, the Yankees lost second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., who was nearly knocked out after colliding with right fielder Jasson Domínguez in the fourth inning.

New York continued to struggle offensively, recording three hits or fewer for the fourth straight game. Tigers right-hander Casey Mize struck out 10 and limited the Yankees to just one hit in seven innings, and that came in the third inning when Spencer Jones doubled to right field. Mize was out of the game when Amed Rosario hit a pinch-hit three-run homer off left-hander Drew Sommers in the eighth inning.

EMBARRASSING: The Yankees are SWEPT out of Boston and FALL out of first place Jun 29, 2026

Show notes

New York Yankees collapse at Fenway, raising urgent questions about their playoff aspirations. Swept by the Boston Red Sox after a disastrous extra-innings loss, the Yankees’ bullpen mismanagement, lackluster offense, and ongoing reliance on Aaron Judge leave fans frustrated and searching for answers. Has this storied franchise finally hit rock bottom, or is worse to come?

Stacey Gotsulias and Brian McKeon break down the Yankees’ spiraling momentum, spotlighting Sonny Gray’s dominant no-hit run, Carlos Rodón’s inefficient outing, and critical managerial decisions that fueled the losing streak. Key topics include the struggles of Austin Wells, bullpen woes involving Fernando Cruz and David Bednar, and the high stakes of the upcoming series against the Detroit Tigers. Are the Yankees primed to rebound, or is Fenway’s humiliation a sign of more trouble ahead?

YANKEES POSTCAST: LOST WEEKEND as Yanks Get Swept! Jun 29, 2026

Show notes

For a while, the story was Sonny Gray’s near no-hitter, which ended with one out in the eighth. Then, the focus shifted to Aroldis Chapman blowing his second save in a week and Wilyer Abreu having some rare defensive breakdowns in right field.

But in the end, it was all about a walk-off pile – just the second this season for the Red Sox, who capped off a rare four-game sweep of the rival Yankees in dramatic fashion, winning, 5-4, in 10 innings.
