The New York Yankees lost two out of three to the Tampa Bay Rays in Tropicana Field this weekend and Gerrit Cole had his first dud of the season BUT Harrison Bader was hot hitting two home runs, a triple, he drove in seven and he played out of his mind. Will this be how Bader plays all season? We discuss it. Plus we discuss whether or not the Yankees should give up on trying to win the AL East now that they’re 10 games back of Tampa. And it’s Minors Monday! The Yankees system had a great week! There were incredible pitching performances in Somerset, Hudson Valley and Tampa, great hitting performances in Somerset, Scranton, Hudson Valley and Tampa, plus there are some guys you may not have heard of doing great things in all levels of the system. And we go through who’s hot, cold and heating up this week before we preview the pitching matchups in the three-game set against Oakland which starts on Monday night.
