Chris McMonigle sounds off on Cole's rocky start, the offense struggling against Michael King, and the wasted opportunity to gain a game on the Rays.

    Yankee offense LIMP in another extra-inning loss

    The Yankees failed to sweep the Braves as their lifeless lineup once again could not generate runs. Chris McMonigle sounds off on the same old story, from a brilliant Cam Schlittler outing going to waste, to the lack of hope that this offense can break out without Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger. Plus, George Lombard Jr. continues to impress in his first taste of the majors, but is that enough to get this stacked pitching staff enough run support?

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 8:28 - A critical look at Trent Grisham's defensive misplays in center field. We discuss why his offensive struggles mean he absolutely must be moved out of the leadoff spot. 20:19 - Breaking down the Yankees' maddening inability to score.
