The New York Yankees opened the 2024 edition of the Subway Series with their crosstown rivals, the New York Mets, on Tuesday night. The little brother of the two New York teams got the better of the Bronx Bombers, taking the series opener while lighting up Yankees ace Gerrit Cole with six earned runs and 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 cause for concern about how Cole has fared since his return to the mound. Then they 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 feud between the San Diego Padres and the Washington Nationals, with Jurickson Profar and his impressive hitting this season leading the way, as well as Elly De La Cruz batting a ball too far and Hunter Greene doesn’t feel any better on the shot.
Jake and Jordan close the show by talking about the drama that followed the College Baseball World Series involving Jim Schlossnagle’s decision to join a Texas rival. The guys then try to figure out who could enter the 2024 Home Run Derby and close the show with Why Haven’t You Shot Yet?
