Luis Gil’s spring training is suddenly raising serious concerns for the Yankees. After getting crushed for seven earned runs against the Tigers, the warning signs about his fastball might finally be catching up to him. Adam and Thomas break down what’s going wrong, why the Yankees might already have better rotation options, and how the team could adjust before Opening Day. Plus quick hits on Angel Chivilli chaos and the never-ending Ohtani vs. Aaron Judge debate.

Aaron Judge is back in the spotlight after another dramatic World Baseball Classic moment. We break down why the Team USA captain is taking criticism following a chaotic loss that featured a questionable lineup decision from manager Mark DeRosa and a late opportunity for Judge with the tying run on base.

We also discuss the pitching performances that shaped the game, including Nolan McLean’s rough outing, Ryan Yarbrough’s bulk appearance, and Brad Keller’s defensive mistake. Plus, reactions to the buzz surrounding Yankees pitching prospects and what Luis Gil’s latest outing tells us about his command issues.

Cam Schlittler somehow added another weapon this spring, unveiling a cutter that’s already drawing Corbin Burnes comparisons. Meanwhile Will Warren continues checking every box in spring training, Ryan Weathers still has some things to figure out, and Oswaldo Cabrera’s Opening Day hopes look bleak.

We also talk about the Aaron Judge and the WBC, where even his home runs are somehow getting criticized.

Luis Gil might’ve answered one of the Yankees’ biggest spring questions. The right-hander hit 97.9 MPH and struck out six in three dominant innings against Boston, showing the velocity jump the Yankees needed to see.

Meanwhile, George Lombard Jr. keeps making noise, squaring up high-90s fastballs from Garrett Crochet and continuing to flash the talent that has fans wondering how fast he could rise.

Plus: Aaron Judge launches a 453-foot bomb at Team USA camp, the World Baseball Classic is loaded (DR and Japan look terrifying), and Elmer Rodriguez impresses against the Red Sox in a Puerto Rico exhibition.

The Yankees are 8–2 in spring training (yes, it’s fake baseball)… but it’s still been fun watching key bats and arms show out. We break down the Cody Bellinger back issue and shifting return timeline, the Domínguez/Spencer Jones surge, standout prospect pitching, and why Ryan McMahon shortstop reps could impact roster math.

Plus: Bryce Harper can’t stop praising Aaron Judge... Worth monitoring.

Spring Training is underway and the Yankees already have a few eye-popping performers and a few early concerns. Paul Goldschmidt is off to another hot start, Ben Rice looks comfortable, and young arms are flashing serious stuff. But should we be worried about Luis Gil’s velocity? Is Austin Wells’ slow start just March noise? And are Kervin Castro and Jake Bird for real or just spring mirages?

Anthony Volpe says he’s entering 2026 with a chip on his shoulder and after two uneven seasons and a shoulder injury, the Yankees are giving him another full runway. We break down whether fans should believe in a bounce-back, why the organization has backed itself into a corner, and what this season really means for his future. Plus, Ryan McMahon at shortstop chaos, bullpen concerns, and the much bigger story: Tony Clark’s sudden MLBPA ouster and why 2027 baseball could be heading toward another lockout. Is MLB really in danger of losing games again?

#Yankees #AaronJudge #SpringTraining #YanksGoYard #MLB

Spring training is underway and the most notable action so far isn’t on the field, it’s in the quotes. Aaron Judge called the waiting through the Yankees’ slow offseason “brutal,” hit the fanbase with a “we’re the New York Yankees” rally cry… and then finished by saying he loves where the roster landed. We break down why that both validates fans and confuses them, plus early spring training velocity buzz, what to watch from Elmer Rodriguez and Carlos LaGrange, why rushing LaGrange into the bullpen could create a Joba/Phil Hughes situation, Bryce Harper stirring the pot again (and name-dropping Judge), and the Mets continuing their “former Yankees” shopping spree. Plus the weird bag discourse that won’t die.
