Let’s not talk about the fact that the Yankees lost two out of the three to the lowly Toronto Blue Jays this weekend and all but killed their chances of winning the American League East. Let’s just watch in awe as Aaron Judge stares down Mark McGwire’s rookie record of 49 home runs. https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2017/09/24/1848758783/1506289939934/asset_1800K.mp4 Judge’s […]

About Last Night: Closing time, again?
So Aroldis Chapman is looking like the old Aroldis Chapman again. In Saturday’s 3-1 win against Texas, Chapman came in to close out the game and he did so in 13 pitches by getting Elvis Andrus to ground out and striking out both Nomar Mazara and Mike Napoli swinging. According to Brooks Baseball, Chapman threw […]
About Last Night: Finally winning in Baltimore
You won’t believe this but the Yankees won their first series in Baltimore since September 2013. That’s right. The last time the Yankees won a series in Camden Yards was way back on September 9-12, 2013. I thought it could be fun to take a quick look at that series 1) because we’ll be seeing […]
About Last Night: Yay dingers!
Sunday night’s game was fun. I like watching fun games. Especially when they’re against the Red Sox. I also like dingers and the Yankees hit four of those on Sunday night—three against Chris Sale. That’s fun too. https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2017/09/04/1808164683/1504496036648/asset_1800K.mp4 Yay dingers! Photo Credit: Wendell Cruz / USA TODAY Sports
About Last Night Yesterday Afternoon: Holliday! Celebrate!
After losing a tough game to the Red Sox on Friday night, the Yankees needed a win Saturday afternoon. And with the game tied 1-1 in the sixth inning, the Yankees found themselves in business against Drew Pomeranz. They had runners on first and third with no outs and Matt Holliday at the plate. Pomeranz […]
About Last Night: Big Stoppa
When CC Sabathia warms up on the Yankee Stadium mound, “I love it when you call me Big Poppa…” blares out of the speakers. The line is from Notorious B.I.G.’s second single “Big Poppa” which has been Sabathia’s song of choice since he signed with the Yankees way back in 2008. It’s also a bit […]
About Last Night: Gary Sanchez is ridiculous
No, really. After hitting two home runs in Tuesday night’s 13-4 victory over the Tigers, Gary Sanchez did this in his first at bat on Wednesday night. https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2017/08/23/1762316983/1503530696677/asset_1800K.mp4 It wasn’t a majestic home run like his first one on Tuesday night but the fact that he’s continuing to beat up on Tigers’ pitching is […]
About Last Night: Tommy Kahnle and the changeup of doom
After a short hiatus, About Last Night is back. And with the way this season is shaping up, the next six weeks are going to be pretty exciting… SG We can all agree that Friday night’s game was bad for the Yankees and their bullpen. Three Yankee relievers—Chad Green, Tommy Kahnle, and Aroldis Chapman—allowed six […]
About Last Night: The Yankees get Clippered by the Rays
Is there anything worse than giving up the game-winning run almost immediately after your team ties up a game on a semi-dramatic two-run home run? Probably. But last night, that was the worst thing the Yankees could have done. In the eighth inning, the Yankees found themselves down 4-2 to the Rays with Brett Gardner […]
About Last Night: Masahiro was Tanaked around
It’s safe to say Masahiro Tanaka was pretty awful on Sunday night. In fact, it was one of the worst outings of his career. He only lasted 1 2/3 innings and he gave up eight runs on seven hits, including four home runs. For this edition of About Last night, we’re going to look at […]
