After pulling off trades for Aroldis Chapman, Andrew Miller, and Carlos Beltran—three of the biggest pieces the Yankees had to offer—Brian Cashman pulled another rabbit out of his hat by unloading the struggling Ivan Nova to the Pittsburgh Pirates for two players to be named later. The deal was announced just as the trade deadline […]

The good news is the Yankees hit a couple of home runs tonight. The bad news is they gave up three home runs to the Tampa Bay Rays and lost the game, 6–3. Nathan Eovaldi, who is clearly on #TeamSell, gave up a first inning home run to Brad Miller which set the tone for […]

I did something different for tonight and listened to the game on the radio. Things started off swimmingly when John Sterling called Michael Pineda “Pinada” to lead us off. Thankfully it was not a harbinger of anything awful happening for the starter. In fact, Pineda had a nice game. Big Mike had a somewhat clean […]

Thursday night’s game started off slowly for the Yankees who, thanks to starter Ivan Nova, found themselves in a 2-0 hole in the third inning. With the way Indians’ starter Trevor Bauer was pitching to start the game, it looked like it was going to be another one those frustratingly quiet nights at the plate […]

Watching Nathan Eovaldi pitch is one of the most frustrating things in the world. More frustrating than running to a train only to have the conductor close the doors in your face, or seeing a car pull out right in front of you only to do 25 in a 40 mph zone. You always hear […]

The Yankees honored their late owner George M. Steinbrenner by losing to the White Sox on what would have been his 86th birthday. You know if George were ali—Just kidding! After flying from San Diego to Chicago for Monday afternoon’s game, the Yankees seemed sluggish at the plate and in the field. Well, more than […]

I have a somewhat embarrassing confession to make. When Didi Gregorius was with the Arizona Diamondbacks, I used to call him Cha Cha DeGregorio. If you don’t know who that is, ask your parents about the movie “Grease.” And it wasn’t meant in a derogatory way or as a way to insult him, it’s just […]

What’s a beat writer’s worst nightmare? Aside from Bruce Springsteen quitting music, it’s an extra inning game on a getaway day before a long cross country flight. But, thankfully for the scribes on the Yankees’ beat, the boys in Pinstripes avoided extra innings by the skin of their teeth and won this afternoon’s contest against […]

Just when it looked like the Yankees were going to lose their third game in a row to Texas, and fourth overall, they pull off a rare comeback win in the bottom of the ninth on Thursday night. It wasn’t rare because it was a walk-off, it was rare because it was first time since […]

Sometimes baseball players have slow starts to their season. They’ll slog through the early months of April and May and suddenly their bats will come alive as the weather warms up. For the past eight seasons, Yankee fans have watched as Mark Teixeira has struggled during almost every single April he’s been on the team […]
