Will the Yankees lose again? Aaron Boone’s squad is on an 11-game winning streak heading into Oakland and continues finding new ways to win every night. It’s been quite a story how this team turned around their season in the past month. From nine games back, looking buried and finished … to atop the AL Wild Card and waiting for the Rays to lose a few games so they can have a shot to win the AL East.
To talk about the win streak and the series ahead against the Athletics, we bring you a new episode of the “Pinstripe Pod” with Chris Shearn and four-time World Series champion Jeff Nelson, featuring an interview with the voice of the Yankees on YES Network, Michael Kay.
Pinstripe Pod Opening Segment with Chris, Jeff & Jake:
- WIN STREAK: Boone deserves credit for pulling Aroldis Chapman for Wandy Peralta. Are they worried about Chapman? Winning 11 games in a row is very tough to do. Nellie looks back at his 1998 team winning 10 in a row and how that team couldn’t even do what this team has done. They have a chance to widen the lead over the A’s in the wild card this weekend in Oakland.
- INFIELD: With Gio Urshela returning, how does Boone work the infield? What should the Yankees do with Rougned Odor? Should Luke Voit get more consistent at-bats? The guys also roast my Mets and laugh at their ineptitude.

- YANKS TURNAROUND: It came on July 4 but then the lineup became balanced after the trades. They rarely trade a player from the minors who they regret moving on from later.
- ’98 TEAM: That team was always expected to win and it should be a disappointment when they lost. This team is getting that way.
- BRONX TALE: Loves the Andrew Velazquez story and being a Bronx kid as well, it is very special watching him live out his dream.
- ‘CENTERSTAGE’ BOOK: Interviewing Mike Tyson and being worried, interviewing Larry David was one of his favorites.
