Williams: How fun is this Yankees team so far?
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 […]

Won Or Done? Previewing The 2021 AL Wild Card Game

The Joey Gallo Hot Streak is Near
Since joining the New York Yankees on July 30, Joey Gallo is slashing .169/.319/.709 with three home runs, six RBI, and 29 strikeouts in 72 Plate Appearances. That slash is well off of his season slash line of .214/.370/.474. But he has still contributed in important spots. His first home run was a game winning […]

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 […]
Despite Early April Showers, May Flowers Lie Ahead for Yanks
If you were to speak to Yankees fans about the state of the team on April 21st you’d think the sky was falling. The Yankees had just dropped the second game of a two-game set to the Atlanta Braves and sat at a 6-11 record as they hit the road for 8 games. What made […]
