(7/6/25) - CF28-103","description":"<p>In Episode 103 of <em>Chase for 28</em>, the frustration boils over. Chris and the Podcast Padre pull no punches in their most candid conversation of the season, airing grievances about the Yankees' brutal 0-6 stretch, crumbling bullpen, and Anthony Volpe\u2019s prolonged slump. Amid jokes, rants, and some sobering stats, they dive into the mismanagement of young talent, the questionable coaching structure, and the ever-growing \"Fire Boone\" crowd.</p><p>They also assess trade deadline needs, explore potential replacements at third base and on the mound, and debate the Yankees' future with Dom\u00ednguez vs. Volpe.
