In this episode of Chase for 28, Chris and the Podcast Padre break down the Yankees' recent performance as they sit atop the AL East. The duo reflects on the team’s 5-1 stretch, key player contributions from Aaron Judge, Clark Schmidt, and Ben Rice, and the impact of questionable umpiring around MLB—especially concerning Jazz Chisholm's suspension. They celebrate Yankees history with notable "This Week in Yankee History" facts and engage listeners with a new trivia question. The show blends current game analysis, nostalgic throwbacks, and minor league updates with a touch of humor and fan celebration—including a birthday shoutout to the Podcast Padre.
