The Chase for 28 - A Yankees Podcast

The 2025 season is in the books, and the Chase for 28 crew is officially back in the Batcave to launch Hot Stove season! In Episode 116, Chris and the Podcast Padre dive deep into the Yankees’ offseason outlook—reacting to the Blue Jays’ World Series run, evaluating trade rumors, and debating the franchise’s future direction. From Bryce Harper trade chatter to Bo Bichette speculation and frustration over Anthony Volpe’s stagnant development, this episode is a rollercoaster of offseason energy, sarcasm, and genuine fandom. The guys dissect the Yankees’ analytics-heavy approach, Cashman’s long leash, and why simply “making the playoffs” isn’t enough for this franchise anymore. They review potential free agents, trade targets like Skubal and Skenes, and discuss how youth, health, and smarter at-bats could reshape the 2026 roster. Topics Discussed: Yankees Trivia 🤔 Who has the most wins in a single season for NY? Answer: Jack Chesbro, 41 W in 1904 This episode: Who is the only team in the AL the Yankees have never faced in the playoffs?

The 2025 Yankees season is officially over. In this emotional instant reaction episode, Chris and the Podcast Paisan (AJ) host what feels like the Bronx Bombers’ postseason wake. The Yankees’ offense went silent once again, managing only three hits through eight innings before falling 5–2 to the Blue Jays in Game 4. Despite Cam Schlittler’s strong start, sloppy defense from Jazz Chisholm and a quiet lineup sealed their fate. Chris and AJ unpack the collapse—Volpe’s alarming strikeout rate, the team’s one-dimensional hitting philosophy, and Boone’s ongoing managerial issues. From comparing the Yankees’ analytical approach to other AL contenders to venting about situational hitting and poor at-bats, the guys reflect on a season of “what ifs.” They also share lighter moments about fandom, future roster shakeups, and what comes next for Chase for 28 as they look toward 2026.

The Yankees aren’t dead yet! In Game 3 of the ALDS, Aaron Judge put the team on his back as the Bronx Bombers stormed back from a 6–1 deficit to defeat the Blue Jays and keep their season alive. Chris and the Podcast Paisan (AJ) break down every emotional moment—from Rodón’s early collapse to the bullpen’s lockdown effort and Judge’s MVP-caliber leadership that sparked the comeback. Despite leaving eight runners on base, the Yankees went 6-for-12 with runners in scoring position and finally showed the timely hitting that’s been missing all series. Stanton and Wells delivered clutch two-out RBIs, Ben Rice chipped in with a key sacrifice fly, and the bullpen trio of Cruz, Bednar, and Duvall sealed the deal. With Cam Schlittler on deck for Game 4, Chris and AJ look ahead to a potential series-tying performance as “Stan-tober” finally starts to heat up in the Bronx.

The Bronx Bombers are on the ropes. In this Game 2 postgame reaction episode, Chris and the Podcast Paisan (AJ) try to make sense of a disastrous weekend in Toronto as the Yankees fall behind 0–2 in the ALDS after a 13–7 loss. Despite scoring late against Toronto’s bullpen, the early innings were defined by rookie Trey Yesavage, who threw 5.1 no-hit innings and racked up 11 strikeouts in just his fourth career start. The guys vent their frustration over Aaron Boone’s bullpen choices, the offense’s lack of adjustments to Yesavage’s splitter, and questionable decisions like Ryan McMahon bunting in the eighth inning. They break down why Will Warren was used in long relief, share insights from Joba Chamberlain himself, and debate whether Carlos Rodón can keep the series alive back home in the Bronx. Despite the bleak outlook, the crew—bolstered by a voicemail from young fan Kellen—finds a spark of hope for Game 3. Bullpen Q&A ☎️ You have opinions just like we do so we want to hear from you!

The Yankees’ postseason run hit its first bump north of the border as Toronto dominated Game 1 of the ALDS with a 10–1 victory at Rogers Centre. Despite the lopsided score, host Chris Nesi reminds fans that the effort on the field wasn’t nearly as bad as the final line suggested. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. put on a two-way clinic, flashing leather and launching a homer, while Alejandro Kirk surprised everyone with two of his own. Luis Gil’s short outing forced the Yankees to tap deep into their bullpen—using six pitchers—and things unraveled from there. But even in the loss, Chris remains confident the Yankees will bounce back, predicting a four-game series win with Max Fried taking the mound against rookie Trey Yesavage in Game 2. With Rodón and Schlittler lined up for Games 3 and 4, the path to the ALCS is still wide open. Plus, Chris breaks down key at-bats, bullpen decisions, and why the offense must wake up fast if the Yankees want to “Chase for 28” to stay alive.

Game 1 of the Wild Card series had everything October baseball promises—tension, drama, and heartbreak in the Bronx. In front of 47,000-plus fans at Yankee Stadium, Max Fried delivered a gem and Anthony Volpe provided an early spark with a solo shot. But the night unraveled in the seventh inning when the Yankees’ bullpen faltered, giving the Red Sox the opening they needed. Garrett Crochet turned in a historic performance for Boston, striking out 11 Yankees over 7.2 innings, while former Yankee Aroldis Chapman slammed the door in the ninth. Despite loading the bases with no outs in their final at-bat, the Yankees couldn’t cash in. Chris breaks down the pivotal moments, from Luke Weaver’s missed chance to Yoshida’s clutch pinch-hit and Bregman’s insurance RBI. With Carlos Rodón set to start Game 2, the Yankees are now fighting for survival in this best-of-three series.
