Kenny Ducey wonders why the Nationals would keep such a struggling second-baseman in the lineup, and recaps the week for the Yankees and Mets. He also catches you up on the latest stories in baseball, including the re-birth of the #Windians
The Yankees welcomed back Curtis Granderson this week from a fractured forearm suffered when he was hit by a pitch in spring training. The 32 year-old has been a mainstay as the starting center fielder in New York since arriving in 2010. He’s hit over 40 home runs in each of the past two seasons, transforming himself from a speedster who knows how to get on base into a power hitting machine.
Kenny Ducey and Kris Venezia discuss the Yankees' success and Jordany Valdespin's big hit Wednesday, plus debate who was right in the David Price-Tim Hallion showdown and wonder what baseball would be like without Wrigley.
These Yankees didn’t seem like the ones of years past. No big boppers, no home run slugging machines like we’re so used to seeing. At least it didn’t look like it. But yet here we are at the end of April and the Bronx Bombers are just that- Bombers. The team has hit the second most home runs in all of baseball. They stand just one home run behind Justin Upton and the Atlanta Braves.
With the MLB season in full swing, we called upon ESPN Baseball Insider Jerry Crasnick for his thoughts on the season. Crasnick has been around the game for a long time having spent time as a beat reporter for the Cincinnati Reds and the Colorado Rockies.

It’s a warm, early spring night in the Bronx. Kevin Youkilis steps up to the plate, and hits a ground ball that goes just past the shortstop and third baseman for a base hit, his second one of the night.
A long chorus of “Yoouuukkkk” from the 34,000 fans echoes throughout Yankee stadium. If a similar scene were to occur within the past few years, when Youkilis was on the hated Boston Red Sox squad, one can almost guarantee the home New York crowd would have replaced “Youk” with “Boooo”.
It’s amazing how fast allegiances can change in sports.
Kenny Ducey and Kris Venezia wrap up the Yankees' and Mets' weekend series wins, including sparking performances from Hiroki Kuroda and Matt Harvey. They also go out west where they discuss the recent brawl between the Dodgers and Padres, and the first Home Run of the season for Josh Hamilton.
