A Milestone, Some Slumps, and Lookout for What’s Next (6/14/25) - CF28-100

In this special 100th episode of Chase for 28, Chris and the Podcast Padre celebrate their milestone with a look back at their earliest shows, a recap of the Yankees’ up-and-down week, and a deep-dive into what’s going on with the team as the All-Star break slowly comes into view. From the struggles of Grisham, Goldschmidt, and Volpe, to the growing pains with the bullpen, this episode offers a realistic view of where the team stands, while retaining that eternal Yankee optimism.


Topics Discussed:

  • Yankees’ current standings (42-26; first in AL East)
  • Series recap: Red Sox, Royals
  • Grisham’s struggles at the plate (average drops to .244)
  • Goldschmidt and Ben Rice battling to find their form
  • The controversy over the new “ghost runner” in extra innings
  • Umpire accountability — should there be penalties for poor performance?
  • The rich history of Old-Timers’ Day — and a call for its return
  • The anniversary of the first episode (November 14, 2020)
  • How the team might handle its roster when Giancarlo Stanton, Anthony Volpe, and Ben Rice all need playing time
  • The possibility of adding Kyle Tucker in free agency
