About this listen

We kick things off (0:00) by quickly talking about the exciting opening weekend of college football, as Luis is excited about Miami's big win over Notre Dame.

At 4:40, we dive into the Yankees–White Sox series recap. New York took three of four, but Sunday’s 3-2 loss left some meat on the bone. We break down another encouraging start from Cam Schlittler, who continues to make a case for being in the October rotation conversation, while Luis Gil looked shaky and raised some questions about his reliability down the stretch. The bats went nuclear on Thursday and Friday, putting up crooked numbers early and often, but once they ran into good pitching on Saturday and Sunday, the offense cooled off. Still, Saturday’s extra-inning win was a big one, showing resilience when they needed it. Most importantly, we look ahead at the next two weeks - a stretch that will define this season for the Yankees.

At 26:34, we reveal our August Team of the Month, spotlighting the players who had big months across the league.

Finally, at 35:51, we close with the MLB weekend in review. We discuss how the Padres missed a huge opportunity to gain ground in the NL West, wonder if the Tigers might be the most beatable AL team in October, and shine a light on Bobby Witt Jr.’s quietly excellent season that still feels underrated. We also question whether the Giants are actually dead yet, look at Boston’s rough series loss to Pittsburgh, break down the mighty Marlins taking three of four from the Mets, and much more!
