Welcome back to the Podcast, Mike Axisa! Jay, Dom and Mike are back to discuss thoughts on the upcoming 2018 Opening Day in Toronto. We chat about the lineup, Spring Training dark horses, the pitching and Mike's CBS pick for who's winning the AL East. You can call our voicemail at 716-393-5330 to leave us questions for future shows or email us at riveraveblues@gmail.com. Thanks for listening.
So we were all short on time this week but I wanted to make sure we still got a podcast in. Domenic and Jay discuss current happenings. A blown "Chance" is mentioned which is a terrible pun I am still angry about. We cover some current thoughts on the changes to the Minor Leagues and recommend a damn good book. You can call our voicemail at 716-393-5330 to leave us questions for future shows or email us at riveraveblues@gmail.com. Thanks for listening.
The best part of the podcast is where we talk about Mike Moustakas and I mention the idea that he might not sign until after the draft. That boner is memorialized forever in this podcast. This also means that Jake Arrieta will sign this weekend. The second best part is everything else. We're talking about Estevan Florial, the power bats, some stuff from around the news, and of course a few questions from you. You can call our voicemail at 716-393-5330 to leave us questions for future shows or email us at riveraveblues@gmail.com. Thanks for listening.
This week it's me again, Jay Gordon, with first-timer to the RAB Podcast, Domenic Lanza. We discuss the Yankees and their hot start in Spring Training, the DH position and the future of Jacoby Ellsbury. We even answered a few of your questions we get right from our email or voicemail. You can call our voicemail at 716-393-5330 to leave us questions for future shows or email us at riveraveblues@gmail.com. Thanks for listening.
This week it's Jay Gordon with Matt Imbrogno and Steven Tydings as we discuss the start of Spring Training, who's going to pitch in the fifth spot, #TANAK, and other musings. We'll take questions and calls next week. Thanks for listening. You can call our voicemail at 716-393-5330 to leave us questions for future shows. Much better to play the audio of you asking rather than reading it ourselves, as you can hear every week.
We're taking your email questions this week, including bits about Chad Green, Miguel Andujar and Manny Machado, Torres's service time, salary floors and Ellsbury-for-Cano.

We're podcasting through The Worst Off-Season In Recent Memory, and frankly it's making things feel a bit better. To be fair, we have a guest on to make things easier this week. You all know Ryan Ruocco as the guy who calls play-by-play when Michael Kay doesn't go on a road trip. What you might not know is that he hosts a podcast, R2C2, with CC Sabathia. No joke, it's a damn entertaining listen. So after you listen to our interview with Ryan, make sure to subscribe to that one as well. And then make sure to follow him on Twitter, @RyanRuocco. * You can subscribe basically anywhere at this point, so hooray for that.

In our second episode back we’re chatting with RAB regular Sung-Min Kim about the lineup, starting pitching, Josh Harrison, Todd Frazier, and more. We added audio questions to this one, so you can see how much better it is than us reading the questions. Dial-in info is below. Leave your questions for when we record later this week.

It's been three and a half years since we last podcasted*, so please bear with us as we shake off some of the rust. The River Avenue Blues Podcast returns for what we hope will be a long, prosperous run. We're starting it off simple, with Jay and me running down the Yankees' current needs. No guest today, though that should change for the next show -- which we're hoping is next week. You'll also see a rotating cast of RAB characters on the show in addition to Jay and me. Some notes: * It appears that iTunes dumps your podcast if you're inactive for a while. I expect we'll be back up and running shortly, but until then you can subscribe by URL in the Podcast app (or in any podcast app, I believe): https://riveraveblues.com/category/podcast/feed * You can call our voicemail at 716-393-5330 to leave us questions for future shows.

Guest: Tim Kurkjian of ESPN. He'll be covering the Yankees-Red Sox game on Friday, and then the Yankees-Rays on Monday. We talk about how those rivalries have changed over the last few years. There's also plenty of trade deadline talk. Before that Mike and I talk for quite a while about the state of the team -- it turns out you can talk for a while when you miss a week and change. iTunes link: here Remember to email in your questions before Friday's show (recorded Thursday night), podcast at riveraveblues.com. You can also give us a call us at 716-393-5330 and leave a voicemail. We'll play it on air and answer it. It'll feel more radio-like that way.
Guest: Jason Wojciechowski of BeaneBall, an A's blog, and Back of the Bullpen, a general baseball podcast. We're talking about the upcoming A's series and how they have turned players like Brandon Moss and Josh Donaldson into stars. To open the show Jay and I are running down some general items, including the recent series against Seattle and some frustrations with the team. Mike joins us a bit later to talk about the draft, particularly about the Yankees' strategy and how it fits with their intentions during the international signing period. And of course we're talking Rob Refsnyder. Spoiler: We don't talk potential trade targets at all. Not once. A disappointment, I know. iTunes link: here. Wanna leave us a review? It would be much appreciated. Remember to email in your questions for the next show, podcast at riveraveblues.com. You can also give us a call us at 716-393-5330 and leave a voicemail. We'll play it on air and answer it. It'll feel more radio-like that way.
Guest: Matt Klaassen of FanGraphs. If you follow him on Twitter, @devil_fingers, you'll know that he's pretty die hard on the Royals. For which we pity him. There's plenty to talk about, both about the upcoming series and about the Yankees, uh, not ideal play for the past week or so.

Guest: Former RAB weekend writer Hannah Ehrlich. She's out in the bay area and makes it to her share of A's games. It's very nice to catch up with an old friend. After lamenting the weekend series against the Twins, Mike and I launch into what became a state of the Yankees segment. From what I remember of the conversation, it all made sense. It also led to the poll question below. Remember to email in your questions before Friday's show (recorded Thursday night), podcast at riveraveblues.com.
