The New York Yankees opened the 2024 edition of the Subway Series with their rival New York Mets on Tuesday night. The little brother of the two New York teams got the better of the Bronx Bombers, opening the series while lighting up Yankees ace Gerrit Cole for six earned runs on four home runs in four innings pitched.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take a look at the Yankees rotation leader’s second start and whether there’s any reason for concern about how Cole has fared since his return to the mound. They then talk about why Tuesday night at Citi Field is an example of Mets owner Steve Cohen’s ultimate goal, both on the field and in the stadium.
Also on this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about the strange fight between the San Diego Padres and the Washington Nationals, with Jurickson Profar and his impressive hits this season leading the way, as well as Elly De La Cruz hitting a ball extremely far and Hunter Greene doesn’t feel good at impact.
Jake and Jordan end the show by talking about the drama that followed the College Baseball World Series involving Jim Schlossnagle’s decision to join a Texas rival. Next, the guys try to figure out who might be participating in the 2024 Home Run Derby and close the show with Why Haven’t You Homered Yet?
