Yankees in Command: Memorial Day Grades (5/31/25) - CF28-098

In Episode 98 of the Chase for 28 podcast, Chris and the Podcast Padre return after a short break to recap the latest news from Yankee land. They dive into Don Mattingly trivia, respond to listener mailbag questions (shout out to Alex and the Podcast Cousini), and debate why the hitman is calling Toronto home instead of the Bronx. The duo explores the phrase “That’s baseball, Susan,” and poke some fun while keeping it all in Yankee family.

You will also get a thorough update on the Yankees' standings, player performances, and potential trade moves as the Bombers take on the Dodgers in a series that feels like a fall preview. From Aaron Judge's MVP-caliber numbers to frustrations with Anthony Volpe’s strikeouts, it's a well-rounded discussion filled with humor, insight, and the usual Yankee pride.
