Well that was lackluster. One night after an exciting back-and-forth game where the Yankees came out on top, New York (NL) managed to draw a split at the Citi Field portion of the Subway Series with a 7-1 victory. Jacob deGrom absolutely dominated the Yankees by throwing seven shutout innings and even contributing a little on […]

Game 100 Recap: What are the Yankees supposed to do with all these wins?
The Yankees just keep winning. Now at a season-high four games over .500, New York has won eight of its last 10 and 10 of its last 14 dating back to before the All-Star Game. And after trading closer Aroldis Chapman, the timing seems a bit late for the Yankees to truly become buyers. C.C. […]
Game 93 Recap: Buy, Buy, Buy?
It seems as though the #SellSellSell movement has been put on hold, at least for one night. The Yankees moved a game over .500 with a 7-1 victory over the Orioles Tuesday night. If they win Wednesday, the Yankees will tie their season high at two games over. New York led comfortably all game, knocking out […]
Game 83 Recap: All but a rout
One night after getting shut down by James Shields, the Yankees exploded Tuesday night. Every New York starter recorded a hit as the Yankees tagged much-maligned starter Carlos Rodon for 6 runs and 12 hits in 5 innings. Newly-named all-star Carlos Beltran helped lead the charge with a 3-for-5 effort, raising his slash line to .302/.341/.571. New […]
Game 76 Recap: Sleepwalking
The Yankees looked like they hadn’t shaken the sleep from their eyes Tuesday night. Following Monday’s series opener against Texas that featured a rain delay lasting three hours and 35 minutes in the top of the ninth, New York was completely lifeless at the plate. Rangers’ starting pitcher Cole Hamels, who hadn’t ever beaten the […]
Game 70 Recap: Another Rockie Adventure
Colorado just has not been kind to the Yankees this season. At the beginning of last week’s road trip, New York visited the Mile High City for a two game set but left feeling down in the dumps in a Mile Low valley. The Rockies held on for a wild 13-10 win in the opener […]
Game 64 Recap: The Coors Effect
Well that was certainly a sporting event, though it was difficult to tell exactly which sport. The final line might as well have read Broncos 13, Giants 10, as it seemed the Denver defense stifled a late New York rally despite a fourth-quarter touchdown. Tuesday night began like almost any other Yankees game. Nate Eovaldi, having […]
Game 58 Recap: “I’ll Huff, and I’ll Puff…”
Michael Pineda has struggled for much of this season, but Tuesday night he provided a small glimpse of what the Yankees think he can be. Save for a fifth inning in which he gave up three runs, including two on a home run to Kole Calhoun, Pineda was solid in New York’s 6-3 win. The […]
Game 51 Recap: Brought to you by Kevin Pillar
C.C. Sabathia has been on a bit of a roll lately. That roll continued Tuesday night. Riding a streak of 20 innings where he’d given up just one earned run, Sabathia continued his hot pitching. Through six, Sabathia allowed just one run on a Justin Smoak solo shot. Toronto starter J.A. Happ matched him, also […]
Game 44 Recap: Back to .500
When someone mentions the phrase “pitchers duel,” Nathan Eovaldi and R.A. Dickey aren’t the names that first come to mind. But through the first six innings on Tuesday night, the two starters combined for just two runs allowed. Dickey, a former Cy Young Award winner with the New York Mets, went gave up the two […]
