The Bronx Pinstripes Show - Yankees MLB Podcast
Blue Wire
Hosted by Andrew Rotondi and Scott Reinen, The Bronx Pinstripes Show is a Yankees podcast focused on weekly news and on-field action with a dose of raw fan emotion, media and player interviews, and an in-depth look at analytics. Part of the Blue Wire podcast network.
CC Sabathia of the New York Yankees and co-host, Ryan Ruocco, welcome athlete and celebrity guests to the plate for wide-ranging conversations. Episodes include topical sports discussions, pop culture reviews and insightful stories with the occasional curve ball into food and parenting. With CC & Ryan on the mound, only hot takes are allowed on "R2C2 is UNINTERRUPTED".
Two ‘R’s. Two ‘C’s. Two friends with a Star Wars obsession and four days of down time between starts. Thus, a podcast is born. Join Yankees’ pitcher CC Sabathia and media personality Ryan Ruocco as they bring fans inside the mind of one of MLB’s most successful and durable performers. Recorded in-season and exclusively between CC's days on the mound, you never know who will enter the bullpen as the duo discuss sports, music, culture and more.
