Rangers Podcast: Another One-Goal Loss

The Rangers lost to the Sabres 3-2 and have now lost four straight games, all by one goal. Their season is slipping away.

The Rangers lost to the Sabres 3-2 on Tuesday and have now lost four straight games, all by one goal. To make matters worse, it was their third straight lost in which they had a lead in the game. They blew three leads in two games in Pittsburgh and blew another two leads in Buffalo. The Rangers’ postseason chances are declining by the day, and they need to turn their season around before they no longer can.

Yankees Podcast: The Jameson Taillon Trade

The Yankees added another starting pitcher to their rotation by trading for the Pirates’ Jameson Taillon. The right-hander hasn’t pitched since 2019 after undergoing a second Tommy John surgery, and he joins a Yankees staff

The Yankees added another starting pitcher to their rotation by trading for the Pirates’ Jameson Taillon. The right-hander hasn’t pitched since 2019 after undergoing a second Tommy John surgery, and he joins a Yankees staff that is full of starters who are returning from injuries and who haven’t pitched much, if at all, over the last few seasons.

The trade was a no-brainer for the Yankees considering Taillon’s salary ($2.25 million) and what they had to give up. If healthy, the Yankees could have a very good rotation. But “if healthy” is asking a lot.

Rangers Podcast: Penguins Complete Comeback

The Rangers blew a two-goal lead in Pittsburgh, losing 4-3 in a shootout. At some point, moral victories can’t be enough.

The Rangers had a two-goal lead in Pittsburgh and they blew it, losing 4-3 in a shootout. Yes, the young Rangers played well, but it was a bad loss. The Rangers have now lost three of four this season, and in their first loss they didn’t show up, in their second lost they dominated play and couldn’t score, and on Friday in Pittsburgh, they blew a 3-1 lead. At some point, moral victories in these games can’t be enough.

Yankees Podcast: Time to Worry About Blue Jays?

The Yankees can no longer only worry about the Rays in the AL East. The division is now a three-team race.

The Yankees can no longer only worry about the Rays in the AL East. Coming off an unexpected postseason berth, the Blue Jays have decided to surround their young, very good and inexpensive core with established major leaguers. The Blue Jays added former Yankee Kirby Yates to the back end of their bullpen and then went and gave George Springer a six-year, $150 million contract.
