Yordan Alvarez, Yordan Alvarez, and a Little More Yordan Alvarez
<p>Jackson flies solo for Episode 7 with one thing on his mind: Yordan Alvarez. Leading the American League in batting average (.347), hits, RBIs, home runs (11), OPS (1.245), and total bases, Yordan is on pace for a Triple Crown and running away with the AL MVP conversation -- and Jackson makes the case for why anyone suggesting a trade can take that take somewhere else.</p><p>Beyond Yordan, Jackson recaps a brutal stretch of baseball -- getting swept by the Cardinals, a split in Cleveland, 17 players on the injured list -- before finding some real reasons for optimism: Spencer Arrighetti’s emergence, Peter Lambert’s filthy fastball, and Kai Wei Tang’s 1.65 ERA out of the bullpen. The Yankees series starts this weekend, and the Astros need to start stacking wins now.</p><p>Michael Schwab will be back next week.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
