“We can talk about our revenues but you got to pay attention to the expenses too and we’ve got some significant ones. It was a tough two years.” Hey, that’s Rob Manfred’s music! After 99 days of MLB owners crying poor, this was an all-too-familiar refrain. Hal Steinbrenner did little yesterday to assuage Yankees fans’ […]
While it’s possible that Sunday night’s trade is a precursor to another large move, it seems much more likely that the trade itself marked the singular accomplishment of the offseason. And if that latter scenario is the case, then it’s a perfect encapsulation of who the Yankees are in the year 2022: a franchise that’s […]
I was just settling in to watch episode 2 of Winning Time on HBO when Yankees Twitter exploded. Gary Sanchez goes to Twins — Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) March 14, 2022 What!? Gary’s gone!? No way! For whom!? Within minutes, Jeff Passan swooped in with the necessary details: Catcher Ben Rortvedt is headed to the […]
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 […]
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.

Gary Sanchez showed he means business going 2-for-3 with a 2-run home run and throwing out Grichuk at second late in the game. Romano (1-0) took the win for the Blue Jays and Nelson (0-1) took the loss for the Yankees. Cole has a Strong Debut but Earns No Decision Gerrit Cole came out strong […]
It’s almost finally upon us. Yes, a full 162 game MLB Season awaits. It was no fun last season trying to predict seasons in a shortened year, yet this season the past time will return to its past form; and so will my projections. Without wasting any time, I’m going to jump into my batting […]
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 […]
Tensions were once again high tonight between the Rays and the Yankees. Prior to tonight’s game, Yankees Closer, Aroldis Chapman was suspended three games for throwing at the head of Brosseau in what was accused to be an intentional throw. Chapman, however stated that there was no intent. Yankees manager, Aaron Boone and Rays Manager, […]
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 […]
