Episode Thirty: Dominating & Validating

In the action-packed thirtieth episode of the Monument Bark podcast, we break down every game since the last episode, which includes the series win against the Texas Rangers, the two-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays, and the dominating series win against the White Sox in Chicago. We discussed why Nestor Cortes Jr. should be considered as one of the best pitchers in all of baseball, Aaron Judge (extension?) and Giancarlo Stanton's combined success, and why we think the 2022 New York Yankees are so special.
