This is the Michael K Show podcast.

I gotta get more K.

Listen live weekdays at one on the ESPN New York app and your smart speaker.

And good afternoon, everybody.

This is indeed the Michael K Show. We thank you for joining us on this Wednesday. It's July 8, 2026, me and you for two. Those are the rules of engagements. The fastest two hours in sports talk radio. And you know the membership number 1-800-919-19-3-776, because, you know, I want to talk to you.

A lot of stuff to do, a lot of stuff to say, a lot of stuff to cover, so let's get right to it.

Last night, the Yankees lost 6 to 4 to the Tampa Bay Rays.

The good news is they got 11 hits, and they had not had 11 hits in a game in a while.

The bad news is they had 17 more strikeouts, which means that over two games in Tampa

Bay, they've struck out 34 times.

That's a record for the franchise.

No Yankee team has ever struck out 34 times in a two-game stretch.

And it's just, it's hard to believe.

But that's what's happening right now.

This is a team, whether they want to admit it or not, they're pressing.

Everybody's trying to do too much.

I think that iron judge said it best.
