The Yankees wrap up a home stand at Yankee Stadium this week against the Baltimore Orioles. The series kicks off Tuesday and concludes Thursday before the Yanks head off to Kansas City. Let’s get you ready for the series by looking at how the Yankees and O’s stack up. Their Story So Far The Orioles […]
It’s tough not to think about the fleeting nature of time whenever Luis Severino is brought up. Once the original herald of a new age of Yankee youth, Sevy is now, by one measure (length of time since debut), the team’s longest-tenured player. And though he’s been around, he hasn’t exactly been around the last few seasons. […]
The Yankees wrapped up a four game set with the division rival Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night. Let’s recap the series before the team starts their six game road trip in Baltimore. Game One – 3-0 loss W: Alek Manoah (1-0), L: Jameson Taillon (0-1), S: Jordan Romano (3) – Box Score Offensive No-show […]
The New York Yankees have a long and storied history of stellar first base play. The names read off like a list of Cooperstown residents and would-be occupants: Gehrig, Mattingly, Martinez, Skowron, Teixeira and Giambi. Is Matt Olson next on this list? Let’s talk about it. The Bird Was the Word Greg Bird was supposed […]
If you know me, or have for whatever reason read my articles throughout the years, you know that I am a day one Gary Sanchez apologist. Through all his struggles, I’ve been right by his side. Now, that’s not going to change heading into the 2022 season, but I’d be lying if I said Kyle […]
The 2021 Yankees have suffered some of the worst losses of this MLB season for any team. But bad losses are normal in any given 162 game season. There are going to be those games where your win probability climbs above 90% and it’s still lost. What’s not normal, though, is how many times the […]
When Gleyber Torres joined the Yankees in 2018, he was an instant fan favorite. He slashed .271/.340/.480 with 24 home runs and 77 RBI. He also posted a 121 wRC+ and .349 wOBA. When asked if Gleyber Torres would be involved in any trade discussions that season, Brian Cashman scoffed, adding “I have to walk […]
Since May 23rd, Gary Sanchez is slashing .300/.375/.540 with a .387 wOBA and 150 wRC+ in 56 Plate Appearances. But there is something different about the type of hitter Gary Sanchez is this season. Sanchez, for practically his entire career until this point, has feasted on fastballs. But that’s all changed in 2021. Let’s take […]
It’s not a secret, the Yankees have some adding to do at the trade deadline. It’s been glaring since they traded Mike Tauchman and lost Aaron Hicks to a season-ending wrist injury. They’ve been running Miguel Andujar, Brett Gardner and Clint Frazier in the outfield on a quasi-daily basis. They’ve even started Aaron Judge in […]
It was perhaps the loudest talk of the off-season. Re-signing D.J LeMahieu had become the mission statement of the Yankees (and maybe even more so its fans) in the winter leading up to the 2021 campaign. It’s certainly hard to blame them. After all, his first two years in Pinstripes were god-like. LeMahieu burst his […]
