The New York Yankees opened the 2024 edition of the Subway Series against their crosstown rival New York Mets on Tuesday evening. The little brother of the two New York teams got the best of the Bronx Bombers, taking the series opener while lighting up Yankees ace Gerrit Cole for six earned runs on four home runs in four innings pitched.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman look at the Yankees rotation leader’s second start and whether there’s any cause for concern about how Cole has fared since returning to the mound. Then they talk about why Tuesday night at Citi Field is an example of the ultimate goal for Mets owner Steve Cohen, both on the field and in the stadium.
Also in this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about the strange battle between the San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals, with Jurickson Profar and his impressive hitting this season leading the way, as well as Elly De La Cruz who hits a ball extremely far road and Hunter Greene does not feel optimal on the bump.
Jake and Jordan close the show with a story about the drama that followed the College Baseball World Series, where Jim Schlossnagle decided to join a rival from Texas. The boys then try to figure out who might be in the 2024 Home Run Derby and close the show with Why Haven’t You Homered Yet?
