The New York Yankees swept the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium on Thursday night after an 8-5 victory. The Yankees swept the season series 6-0 and the last time that happened was in 2009. But things can’t always be good because Juan Soto left the game early (following a rain delay) with left forearm tightness/soreness. He says he’s been playing through it since last week. He’s getting an MRI on Friday. Let’s all cross our fingers that everything is okay and nothing shows up on it. Then it’s Fanmail Friday and we answer your questions about Marcus Stroman, trading Gleyber Torres, worrying about Cole coming back too fast, and more. Then we briefly preview the pitching matchups between the Yankees and Dodgers. That series begins tonight with Yoshinobu Yamamoto facing off against Cody Poteet.

The New York Yankees beat the Kansas City Royals, 4-2 behind small ball by the B lineup and a strong pitching performance by Carlos Rodón who had the worst start of his career the last time he was in Kansas City. It was a team effort and Brian and Stacey discuss the win. Then, they have a serious discussion about Anthony Rizzo and what can be done about him. Should the Yankees part ways with him? Can we turn things around? And Brian and Stacey preview the second game of the series between Marcus Stroman and Brady Singer.

The New York Yankees lost another frustrating game to the Seattle Mariners. Brian and Stacey discuss why it was so disappointing, which might not be the reason you think. They talk about Clarke Schnidt’s performance and questionable decisions by Aaron Boone. Which Yankees are already in the AL MVP race? Both players aren’t surprising choices but after the first month one of them had, it’s incredible how quickly he’s turned his season around. Also, where do the Locked On MLB hosts rank the Yankees in their weekly power rankings? Brian and Stacey will tell you. Then, they preview the third game’s pitching matchup between Nestor Cortes and Bryce Miller.

The New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 7-3 behind home runs by Aaron Judge, Juan Soto (x2) and Alex Verdugo.

Brian and Stacey discuss the game’s highlights. Then, Aaron Boone admitted he made a mistake on Tuesday night when he chose to bring Clayton Andrews into a one-run game. Brian and Stacey talk about how Boone still has issues with these decisions six years into his Yankees’ tenure. And finally, Brian and Stacey preview the pitching matchup between Luis Gil and Luis Castillo in the last game of this four-game set between the Yankees and Mariners and discuss how important it is for the Yankees to finish this series with a split.

We're two months into MLB's season and we're talking about how the Yankees have done so far. Who are the surprises, who are the disappointments (honestly are there many?) and who are the WAR leaders on the team? Some answers are surprising. Then we take a look around the league to talk about how everyone else is doing. Some results are surprising in a good way and others are surprising in a not-so-good way. We look at the division and talk about the biggest disappointments and surprises and then we preview the first pitching matchup of the first game in Anaheim on Tuesday night between Nestor Cortes and Griffin Canning.

Brian and Stacey went live after the New York Yankees dropped their game to the Angels, 4-3 in Anaheim. They discuss what went right, what went wrong and try to calm everybody down. Then some Yankee fans expect too much from the front office and want Hall of Famers at every position which is not realistic. Who do fans want to see go and are they as bad as Yankee fans make them out to be? Then, Brian and Stacey preview the pitching matchup for Game 2 in Anaheim between Luis Gil and Tyler Anderson and discuss just how good Gil has been, plus, how soon will Gerrit Cole be back? It might be sooner than everyone thought.
