Hour 1: Aaron Judge “Railroaded” at Spring Training? Plus a 2026 Stolen Base Warning
Podcast:Evan & Tiki Published On: Tue Feb 17 2026 Description: Aaron Judge said “we’re the New York Yankees” and the internet ran with it. But did everyone cherry-pick the quote, or was Judge actually calling out the Yankees’ offseason approach? We play the full context of what Judge said at spring training, compare the “frustrated” clip to his more positive “running it back” answer, and debate what he really meant about waiting on Cody Bellinger, adding “other pieces,” and how much of this is fans projecting their own frustrations. Then it takes a wild turn. Judge reveals what he’s specifically trying to add to his game in 2026, and it might change the entire Yankees’ offense. Stolen bases. Yes, stolen bases. We make predictions on how many he’ll swipe, argue about the risk vs reward, and why Juan Soto’s surge may have inspired all of it. Plus: the infamous group text blows up, the phones light up, and the conversation somehow detours into a spicy Jeter and Bernie defense debate that turns the studio upside down.
