Yankee offense LIMP in another extra-inning loss | 'Go Get 'Em' Aug 11, 2026

Show notes

The Yankees failed to sweep the Braves as their lifeless lineup once again could not generate runs. Chris McMonigle sounds off on the same old story, from a brilliant Cam Schlittler outing going to waste, to the lack of hope that this offense can break out without Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger. Plus, George Lombard Jr. continues to impress in his first taste of the majors, but is that enough to get this stacked pitching staff enough run support?

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

4:14 - A deep dive into how the lack of run support is completely exhausting relievers like Bednar, Blackburn, and Cruz by forcing them into constant high-leverage, one-run games.

16:03 - Why Jazz Chisholm has become the face of the offensive issues, struggling heavily and bordering on becoming a platoon player.

19:55 - Recapping Max Fried's excellent start and praising rookie George Lombard's incredibly clean, Carlos Correa-esque defense.

35:50 - A passionate rant on Caballero’s infuriating 10th-inning at-bat, which Chris declared the worst he's ever seen.

42:27 - Gerrit Cole looks brilliant, Chris Sale gets tossed pregame for dugout chirping, and Austin Wells continues his hot 15-game stretch.

48:04 - Debating Trent Grisham's place at the top of the order against righties, and why it might be too early to put leadoff pressure on Lombard.

52:01 - Cam Schlittler dominates, but the offense wastes solid contact and falls to Atlanta in the series finale.

58:00 - Why catching the Rays is slipping away and why avoiding a 3-game Wild Card series at Fenway Park is the team's new main priority.

1:01:42 - Caballero rightfully earns the "Shame" for his offensive disaster, while Max Fried takes home the "Shill" for his clutch Friday start.
