Inside The Mind Of D. Scott

If you're a Yankees fan or know one or two, please share this podcast with them. It's a pod done by a life long Yankees fan about the Yankees.

Saw a quote that said that the Yanks won't win a World Series because their defense is bad. That's only partially true. However, the team's defense isn't the issue or the reason they won't win a WS. The defense has actually been pretty good as of late minus a hiccup here and there. The team's...

The lack of being able to pivot as a team is frustrating. Their lack of offense is frustrating. The lack of urgency is frustrating. Their terrible coaching is frustrating. Their lack of fundamentals is frustrating. Minus a few guys on the team, they're just frustrating!

So I ask, is this who The Yankees are at this point? Do we as fans have them built up as something they aren't trying to actually be? Let's talk about all of that on...

Another week, another episode of me basically repeating myself about The Yankees and their offensive flaws. So, who do I blame? Listen to the episode and find out.

Trade deadline is almost here and there really doesn't seem to be much to be hopeful about. Skubal went to L.A. and I talk about that. It's crazy to hear what the ask was from Detroit when they were talking to The Yanks. Especially when you see what they got from L.A. - Y...

It goes without saying that Aaron Boone will not lead this team to a World Series Title. But it's deeper than Aaron Boone. Changes need to be made in the front office. Cashman needs to go. Boone needs to go. Honestly, I think Hank and Hal need to go as well. The franchise seems to be ok with being a "middle of the pack" type of team. The urgency that we saw earlier this season is gone. The accountability is gone. The team is back t...

First and foremost, Happy Father's Day to all the dads!!

Let's talk some Yankees baseball shall we? Vople is doing his job, Will Warren is still struggling, but the team is finding ways to continue to win (most of the time).

I do address the Pride hat/uniform "issue" that came about this past week. Speaking as a Christian, I think you'll be surprised by how I feel about the whole thing. Yes, it's just my opinion but it's my podcast s...

Whether he does it on purpose or not, Aaron Boone literally talks about his team like we aren't able to watch every single game. I don't think he can help himself at this point. Let's talk about his obsession with Anthony Volpe. Let's talk about Jazz not being able to challenge balls and strikes anymore.

Is it all bad? Nope! Let's talk about how good Cam was against Toronto. How good Goldy has been for us this year. How good Belling...

Let's talk about Aaron Judge's injury. Let's talk about the medical staff that The Yankees have. Let's talk about playing hurt. Let's talk about how back Austin Wells is. Let's talk about Anthony Volpe reverting back to his old ways. Let's talk about how this team has gone right back to who they've been since Aaron Boone became manager.

They refuse to make adjustments. They're back to playing comfortable baseball. Is the lack of ur...

Coming into this podcast after watching The Yankees finally get a win against Tampa, my emotions were running high. Aaron Judge gets the job done in the bottom of the 9th with a 2 run walk-off homer was amazing.

That being said, the win doesn't negate the fact that the offense has been dormant for well over a week. The approach that the team has at the plate has been horrific. They've gotten away from doing the little things on offe...

Why that title for this episode? I totally understand why Yankees fans get in a panic when the team plays poorly, we're all traumatized from seasons past. But what we've seen from this team and the organization in 2026 appears to be a totally different mindset. Look at the title of last weeks episode. They're moving different.

So let's talk about the past week and what's been happening in The Yankees Universe, shall we? Fried is on ...

This week, I'm dedicating the show to Matt Hallock. Why you ask? Listen to the episode and you'll understand.

Let's talk about what the 2026 Yankees are doing different than they have in past seasons. Making moves right away. Sending guys down, calling guys up, not riding with a guy due to past service....stuff like that. There is a different sense of urgency this year and I'm here for it! I talk more about that in the episode.

Let's...

Another week of Yankees baseball is in the book and we're here to talk about it!

The starting pitching is the focus of this episode, and with good reason. Our starters have all been doing their jobs and keeping the Yanks in every single game. Even in the games that we lose, our starters are able to keep it close. The Yankees have a chance to win every game because of what our starters are doing!

I get into some Ben Rice talk as well ...

Watching The Yankees play this past week has been very enjoyable! Coming off a sweep of The Royals and The Red Sox and taking the 1st two against Houston, the team has been on a serious roll!

Let's talk about all the great things that we saw this past week and show some well deserved love to the team that we all love to watch!

The Yankees series against The Angels was a tough one, entertaining, but tough to watch. Yes we were able to split the series but what we saw brought to light was how ineffective our bullpen can be. The series really brought to the forefront how uncertain our middle and late inning guys really are on the mound.

Let's talk about that, let's talk about Ryan McMahon finally getting his 1st XBH of the season (a game winning 2 run HR) an...

Almost on cue the Yankees have decided to do exactly what I had hoped they wouldn't and that's go completely cold at the plate. So what happened? Why are they struggling to score runs? Why are they struggling to put hit the ball hard? Why are they ALL swinging like they want to hit the ball through the Moon?

Let's talk about the offensive struggles. Let's talk about the IBC. Let's talk about our pitching. Let's talk about all of it.

We are only 8 games in for the 2026 Regular Season but The Yankees are looking like the team we've wanted them to be all along. They griding at the plate, they're not relying on the long ball, starting pitching seems to be living up to it's reputation. Are there still some things that need work? Yes, but overall they look fantastic. They're beating teams they should.

Let's talk about all the good stuff that's going on. Let's talk ab...
