-

Here are some of the topics we talked about:

⚾️ The Yankees lose series’ to the Nationals and Cardinals. What went wrong?

⚾️ The Yankees’ bullpen concerns.

⚾️ Yankees make September call-ups. Jasson Domínguez is not one of them. Should he have been called up especially due to Alex Verdugo’s struggles?

⚾️ Anthony Rizzo returns from forearm fracture.

⚾️ Yankees option Ben Rice and Will Warren. What will the first base situation will look like with DJ LeMahieu’s struggles?

⚾️ Who will take the fifth spot in the rotation once Clarke Schmidt and Luis Gil return?

⚾️ Our thoughts on the pitch clock, should it be changed to the batter only having to be in the box at eight seconds, not alert and looking at the pitcher?

⚾️ Should umpires be questioned by the media after games like players are?

⚾️ Also check out Sarah’s bonus question at the end of the episode!
