From enter Sandman … to exit Chapman. What a gut-wrenching loss for the Yankees on Wednesday night in a game that seemed to be in the bag. An 8-4 lead quickly became a nightmare 11-8 loss and an 8.5 game deficit in the AL East, which is slowly slipping away from the Yankees. Where do they go from here? Should Hal Steinbrenner have made a firing on Thursday? Oh yeah, and the Subway Series is here!
There’s lots to discuss on a special edition of the “Pinstripe Pod” with Chris Shearn and Jeff Nelson, featuring a crossover Subway Series segment with the “Amazin’ But True” hosts Nelson Figueroa and yours truly.
Pinstripe Pod Opening Segment with Chris, Jeff & Jake:
- HAL’S COMMENTS: Reacting to what Steinbrenner said on Thursday. Do the Yankees need to make multiple trades? Should Aaron Boone get the ax? The guys react to the live news of them acquiring Tim Locastro from the Diamondbacks.
- CHAPMAN:What is going on with Aroldis Chapman for the past month? Did the banning of sticky substances hurt him? Should he have been pulled before giving up the grand slam?
