Let’s not sugarcoat things. CC Sabathia has not looked good in his last three starts, and on Wednesday night against the Blue Jays it was more of the same. In his first three starts Sabathia went 2-0 while only giving up three earned runs in 18 1/3 innings. He held opposing batters to a .182 […]

Okay, so can we talk about what happened on Friday night? Because I am still in shock. Since these pieces are not full game recaps, I won’t go into every detail about the game. So how about we take a look at all of the dingers the Yankees hit in their improbable 14-11 extra innings […]

What a difference a day makes. On Wednesday night, Yankee fans were watching the ninth inning through their fingers. On Thursday night, they watched in awe as Masahiro Tanaka pitched a complete game shutout and bested Chris Sale in a battle of the aces. And for once, a game actually lived up to its hype. Sale entered […]

If you are like me, you were pacing during Wednesday night’s bottom of the ninth at Fenway Park because let’s be honest, the Yankees have been the victims of some devastating walk-off losses in that ballpark. Just last September, we sat through that dreadful Dellin Betances outing which was capped off by a walk-off, three-run […]

Lefty Jordan Montgomery made his major league debut Wednesday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Rays and while he didn’t factor in the decision, there were many positives during his outing. Mainly, his seven strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings of work so let’s look at those first. As you can see Montgomery used his slider to […]

There is no other way to say it, Michael Pineda was resplendent on Monday afternoon. We all witnessed one of his best pitching performances as a Yankee starter. It’s just the kind of start Yankee fans have been wanting to see from him since he first came over to the club. Tampa Bay’s lineup could […]

Coming into Saturday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles, Aaron Judge was batting .133/.188/.200 with only two hits and an RBI. After Saturday’s game, he doubled his hit total and tripled his RBI total—which is not hard to do when you’re only a week into the season—but, perhaps most importantly, Judge finally hit his first home […]

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” Masahiro Tanaka has had a rough start to the 2017 season. His Opening Day performance has been dissected enough so we won’t focus at that. Instead, we will look at start number two against Baltimore on Saturday afternoon which started off great and […]

As everyone knows, Gary Sanchez was a beast at the plate last season. He had a performance for the ages in his brief time with the Yankees hitting 20 home runs in only 53 games, so naturally Yankee fans were excited, and anxious, to see how Sanchez’s 2017 would turn out. Well, the start to […]

The problems that have plagued Michael Pineda seemingly for his entire tenure with the Yankees reared their ugly head again on Wednesday night in Tropicana Field: surrendering the long ball (he gave up 27 last season) and giving up hits with two outs (batters hit .325 against him with two outs last year). The first […]
