Weekend Series Preview: Yankees-Athletics
GM Billy Beane’s odd collection of castoffs, no-name young pitchers, and platoon players has failed to coalesce in the early going, leading to a mediocre club overall. Despite winning their last two series against the Rays and Rangers, they are one of the few teams in the American League who look like just as big […]

Ivan Nova continues to make a compelling case to become a full-fledged member of the Yankee rotation, allowing just two earned runs in 10 ⅓ innings in his first two starts of the year.

They currently have a seven game lead over the last place […]
Game 21 Recap: Big Papi can’t retire soon enough
The Yankees’ offense was tossed a much-needed softball Friday evening in struggling starter Henry Owens and they failed to take advantage, falling 4-2 to the rival Red Sox. New York certainly wasn’t short on opportunities. Double plays shut down promising rallies in four of the first five innings. There were plenty of baserunners, but the big […]
