Thanks to a somewhat rare April snowstorm, the Yankees’ home opener against Tampa was postponed on Monday and moved to Tuesday. Unfortunately, Tuesday’s forecast doesn’t look much better. Those pesky April showers you learned about as a kid are threatening the rescheduled home opener from being played as well. So, before the game is (hopefully) played […]

We’re only four games into the season and already the eighth inning is the bad one for the Yankees. On Saturday, Dellin Betances fell apart and allowed the Blue Jays to break a 3-3 tie and ultimately win 5-3. On Sunday, David Robertson surrendered a grand slam to Justin Smoak that turned a 4-3 lead […]

Yesterday wasn’t a good day for Dellin Betances. Actually, that may be an understatement. Betances entered Saturday’s game in the seventh inning and even though he didn’t surrender any runs, and only gave up a hit, he didn’t look that good. His mechanics would look okay on one pitch and then he’d look out of […]

Last year, Masahiro Tanaka’s first start was an unmitigated disaster. The Yankees started 2017 on the road just like 2018 and they started their season in a dome just like 2018 only they were down in Tropicana Field facing the Rays and Tanaka did not last long. He surrendered seven runs on eight hits, including […]

 Welcome back to another season of Yankees baseball and welcome back to BP Bronx’s About Last Night series in which we will examine anything from a single at-bat or a big inning to an entire pitching performance depending on what we feel is the big story from the night before. There was a lot of […]

The Yankees added some more infield depth on Monday by signing free agent second baseman Neil Walker to a one year deal reportedly worth $5 million. Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports first reported that the two sides agreed to a deal, pending a physical. Walker, who spent the first seven seasons of his career with […]

So I am sitting here watching the first spring training game between the Tigers and Yankees and it’s nice to have baseball back. I didn’t realize how much I missed it until I heard the opening notes of the YES Network intro music. Here are my thoughts as the bottom of the fifth gets underway: […]

If you were one of those fans bemoaning the fact that the Yankees were heading into spring training with question marks at both second and third base, well, bemoan no more! Brian Cashman made a move that brought second baseman Brandon Drury to the Yankees from the Diamondbacks. It was part of a three-team trade […]

Now that some Yankee players have reported to Tampa and baseball things are actually happening, I thought it was time to bring back a feature I used to write on a former blog where I’d post rapid-fire thoughts about baseball and sometimes not baseball. And now, in no particular order: I haven’t been this happy […]
