The Super Bowl is over so we can now focus our attention on where it belongs - Baseball! Pitchers and catchers are officially reporting this week even though many have been in camp early and are already throwing, and catching. We recorded a west coast version of our podcast this…
Sure Gerrit Cole will come back as will Carlos Rodon. The Yankees are more than those guys with rookie Cam Schlittler poised to take a leading role. Luis Gil will also be a big part of any success the team has. Mets fans talk about Nolan McClean but Gordon says…
We take future HOFer Aaron Judge's exploits for granted. What would happen if Judge was merely great as opposed to extraordinary? The Yankees will have excellent pitching but do they have enough hitting from the other players? From our podcast this week. Check us out and thanks for watching!
