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.
