The New York Yankees will be facing off against the New York Mets in the first leg of the Subway Series this week and both teams are not performing up to their potential. Stacey and Steve are joined by Ryan Finkelstein of Locked On Mets to discuss the state of New York baseball. Both teams are in the middle of the pack in their respective divisions, Aaron Judge and Pete Alonso, the big boppers for each team are hurt, and the starting rotations are not pitching the way ownership (on either side) had hoped—mostly due to injury but also due to underperforming from some guys. How are the fanbases holding up and could this be the worst Subway Series yet? Ryan thinks 2020 was—empty stadiums, cardboard cutouts, COVID restrictions, etc. Then Stacey and Steve tell you who is hot, cold and heating up for the Yankees heading into the series. You shouldn’t be surprised with who’s cold but who’s hot may surprise you. Plus, a preview of the pitching matchups for this first half of the Subway Series: Gerrit Cole vs. Justin Verlander on Tuesday and Luis Severino vs. Max Scherzer on Wednesday.
