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 […]
OOTP Universe Yankees: A rainy but good week
After last week, the virtual Yankees fell below .500. A 20-21 record certainly is not what anyone would expect, and is especially jarring when watching how dominant their real-life counterparts have been. Even though the season is roughly a quarter of the way complete, there’s still plenty of baseball for the alternate universe Yankees to […]
The Three Most (Only?) Interesting Yankee Hitter Playing Minor League Baseball Right Now
Entering this season, the Yankee farm system was considered perhaps the deepest in baseball. Clint Frazier, Gleyber Torres, Miguel Andujar and Tyler Austin have all been promoted to the majors. The top remaining hitting prospect, Estevan Florial, will miss most of the remainder of the season with hamate surgery. Nearly every other remaining prospect is […]
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 […]
Ready to write off Aaron Hicks? Not so fast!
Before landing on the disabled list in late June of last year, Aaron Hicks was in the midst of a breakout season. An oblique injury sidelined Hicks, who was hitting a stellar .290/.398/.515 (144 wRC+) in 242 plate appearances before being shelved. When he returned in August, he struggled offensively (and went on the disabled […]
Bronx Beat Episode 145: Clint Frazier Is Back!
EJ, Paul, and Andy discuss the fallout of the two rainouts against Washington, the Brandon Drury demotion, the Supreme Court’s decision to allow states to legalize sports gambling, Clint Frazier’s promotion to the major leagues, and where Gleyber Torres should bat.
Gary Sanchez Poll Results
A few days ago BP Bronx readers were asked to rank Gary Sanchez among all current catchers in baseball. Voters had six options to choose from: He’s #1! Move over, Posey! Second best. Everyone who voted for #1 is stupid. #3-5. He’s a great young player and he’s only getting started. #6-10. We haven’t seen him […]
OOTP Universe Yankees: Treading Water
Could things get any worse for our alternate universe Yankees after a 1-6 week in the previous installment? Well, sure, they could lose out in this week’s edition. You can probably gather from the headline that this week wasn’t quite as bad, though. What’s on the slate this time around? An off day and two […]
The Gary Sanchez Poll
Click here to vote! This past Thursday morning, I broke one of my own unwritten rules: avoiding sports talk radio shows at all times. Not to disparage an industry that’s far more established and successful than I am, but I nauseate at the general lack of logic and civility. I find it exasperating that the […]
