About this listen

It’s good vibes all around as we head into the long Labor Day Weekend (0:00). The Yankees rolled through the week, sweeping Washington and taking Game 1 in Chicago against the White Sox (5:30). But does beating up on bad teams really mean anything? We break down Cam Schlittler’s strong start and ask if he could be a Game 2 playoff starter, plus dive into Anthony Volpe’s continued struggles and how the Yankees’ strong defense of him has only magnified the spotlight.Around the league (27:58), Cal Raleigh crushed his 50th home run of the season, setting up an extremely tight AL MVP race. The Mets shocked the Phillies with a sweep in New York - could the division be back in play? Kyle Schwarber made unique history with four homers on Thursday night against the Braves. We also touch on the Cubs failing to gain ground after being swept in San Francisco, Yordan Alvarez’s return from injury, the A’s sweeping Detroit, historically low attendance numbers in St. Louis, a Red Sox sweep, and much more.---CHAPTERS0:00 Intro5:30 Yankees-Nationals Series Recap (plus White Sox Game 1)27:58 MLB Week in Review---
