Admit it, you were mad at the lack of the off season big splash signing. You wanted Carlos Correa. Trevor Story. Freddie Freeman or (like me) Matt Olson. You wondered if GM Brian Cashman was out of minutes on a Tracphone. And today, like me, you were wrong. Because this team is a blast to […]
Today is a scheduled day off in Yankee land and it is needed. The Yanks started the season with ten games in ten days due to the Opening Day rain out. They finished that stretch this weekend by losing two of three to the Baltimore Orioles. Here are some random thoughts and observations I have […]
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 […]
By now, everyone knows the news: the Yankees announced Tuesday morning that they have re-signed manager Aaron Boone to a three-year contract. This of course, was met with much reaction ranging from emotional distress to general indifference (and of course, the opportunity to pounce on some low-hanging fruit). But this was expected given the reporting […]
Monday night was unfamiliarly demoralizing. I normally pay very little attention to baseball after the Yankees are eliminated, and certainly have never been too emotional about a matchup between two teams that are not mine, but watching the Red Sox celebrate their relatively easy 3-1 ALDS win struck a raw chord. Perhaps it was the […]
Outside of The Michael Kay Show taking over the YES Network broadcast for three innings on Wednesday, there weren’t many highlights in the game as the New York Yankees lost to the Toronto Blue Jays, 5-0. Toronto used three home runs as the bulk of their offense with two of those homers being hit against […]
While the New York Yankees have many questions to answer during this winter, there is one internal problem that they have to try to figure out and it involves their pitching. Across the league, teams have put their trust in different young pitchers. Yes, some of them are because they have to due to injuries […]
FINAL: Yankees 7 Mets 9 WP: Diaz (2-1), LP: Abreu (0-1) The Yankees had a 4-0 lead heading into the bottom of the second and had the lead heading to the fourth, before the Mets came back to tie it up. The Yankees re-took the lead in seventh and had the lead until the bottom […]
FINAL: Rays 5 Yankees 3 WP: Glasnow (2-1) LP: Cole (4-2) SV: Castillo (3) The Yankees fell to the Rays 5-3 to open the 3-game series at Yankee Stadium. Tyler Glasnow (2-1) got the win for the Rays, Gerrit Cole (4-2) took the loss for the Yankees, and Diego Castillo (3) was credit with […]
The Yankees got back in the win column and had their first experience with Major League Baseball’s (MLB) new extra innings rule that is in play in the 2020 season as they swept the Mets and took both games of today’s doubleheader, both in extra innings fashion. Both games also saw eighth inning fireworks that […]
