Monument Pod: Back on Track

About this episode

Anthony and Dave discuss the contrasting performances of the Yankees against the Angels and Royals, reflect on player legacies, and analyze the team's early season dynamics.

Anthony and Dave break down the polar-opposite vibes of a chaotic Angels series and a dominant, business-like sweep of the Royals. The guys recap the awkward Betances-Ottavino rain delay broadcast and debate which Yankees legends could actually survive three hours of dead air. The fellas reminisce about David Cone’s legendary baseball IQ and wonder if he’ll ever trade the broadcast booth for the dugout. Anthony and Dave analyze the first month of the season to identify exactly who has earned a spot in Aaron Boone’s "Circle of Trust." The hosts wrap things up by sharing their reactions to the news of the Yankees finally adopting a third jersey and what it means for team tradition. Learn more about your ad choices.
