Gleyber Torres did it again. He led the Yankees to victory with a dinger. It wasn’t a walk-off and it was only a solo shot but it made all the difference in a tight game with the Angels. So far Torres, who was already highly touted prospect, has been better than advertised. He looks great on […]

Masahiro Tanaka’s home run problem
Masahiro Tanaka has a home run problem. This isn’t news to Yankee fans who have watched the right-hander since 2014 but it seems to get worse every season. On Monday night against the Texas Rangers, Tanaka surrendered two home runs to bring his season total, thus far, to 11. He has given up five in […]
About Last Night: CC, Shreve, and D-Rob end the streak
Wednesday’s game was not good. CC Sabathia fell apart after four innings, Chasen Shreve came in with a three-run lead and allowed two hits to start the bottom of the sixth for the Rangers. Then David Robertson walked two more, which let in a run and then gave up a bases-clearing, go-ahead double. What’s worse […]
About Last Night: Dingers! (Again)
The Yankees are on a historic tear and they are hitting home runs at a torrid pace. After last night’s power display in Arlington, the Yankees have now hit at least four home runs and eight extra-base hits in three straight games. Yeah. It’s the first time a Major League team has accomplished that feat. […]
About Last Night: A nice Sonny Day (Finally)
Long time no see! About Last Night is back and today’s subject is Sonny Gray. And thankfully it’s for a good reason! He won a game but not only that, he had his long outing of 2018. Heading into Sunday’s game against the Royals, Gray’s longest output of the season was six innings which he […]
20 Years Later: The Imperfect Game
The game between the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees that took place on May 19, 1998, should have been an ordinary weekday night game. The 29-9 Yankees, they were coming off the high of David Wells’ perfect game which happened two days prior. Monday was an off day for them and Tuesday was the […]
Random thoughts after a stressful yet rewarding series win in Houston
After Thursday’s game against the Astros ended with the Yankees celebrating a three out of four-game series win, people around baseball kept saying how much they enjoyed the series and how they hoped that if it were a playoff series preview, it would be just as exciting. Personally, I was relieved it was over and […]
About Last Night: Stanton X 2
Heading into Wednesday night’s game in Minute Maid Park, the Yankees had never hit a home run against Dallas Keuchel. With one swing in the first inning, Giancarlo Stanton changed that. Stanton hit an opposite-field home run that just cleared the wall in right field to give the Yankees a 2-0 lead. Keuchel, who normally […]
About Last Night: Gaaaaaaaaaaary
Tuesday night’s game was fun. Well, the ninth inning was fun. Watching Justin Verlander strike out 14 is not fun but watching Gary Sanchez connect on an 88 mph slider from Ken Giles and hit it 423 feet is a lot of fun. https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2018/05/02/1997442583/1525275532843/asset_1800K.mp4 It was also a pleasant surprise. The Yankees as everyone knows […]
Random thoughts after a pleasantly surprising late night, west coast victory
If you stayed up for Friday’s night game against the Angels, you were rewarded with a late-inning Yankee win thanks to none other than Didi Gregorius who is having an April to remember. So before tonight’s late start, I figured I’d fire off some random thoughts about Friday’s win, the current seven-game winning streak and […]
