About Last Night: Yeah Jeets!
You may wonder why I chose the title for this installment of About Last Night and well, it’s because Derek Jeter and his ownership team down in Miami stripped the Marlins down so much that they’re fielding an AAAA team and it was just the remedy the Yankees needed. I’ve missed being able to watch a […]
Random thoughts before the Marlins series
Welcome back, everyone! It seems like forever since the Yankees have played a game. They will take on Giancarlo Stanton’s former team this week and what better way to prepare for this series than for me to spew some random thoughts? Let’s begin… This weekend was so strange. Even though the Yankees didn’t play for […]
OOTP Universe Yankees: Finishing the week strong
Another week of baseball is in the books, and it’s been a topsy-turvy start for the Yankees in reality. The pitching and defense have been sloppy while the offense hasn’t quite lived up to its billing just yet. All that said, the Yankees are still hovering around .500, so at least they’ve held their own. […]
Checking in on Miguel Andujar’s Defense
A scouting report is not a foregone conclusion. For example, the two best Yankee catching prospects in recent years had similar profiles. Both Gary Sanchez and Jesus Montero would absolutely crush major league pitching, but might not be able to stick behind the plate defensively. It turned out Sanchez excels at both hitting and catching, while Montero excels at neither. […]
About Last Night: Hicksy x2!
Aaron Hicks’ first night off the DL was not a fun welcome back—he went 0-4 with a strikeout in a loss to the Red Sox. On Friday night against Detroit, Hicks fared a lot better. In his first at-bat of the night, Hicks hit a fly ball to right-center off starter Mike Fiers that caromed […]
About Last Night: A Gray and not so Sonny performance
Thanks to the Yankees’ testy victory on Wednesday in Fenway Park, Thursday’s contest became the rubber game. They could have salvaged the series with a win after being humiliated on Tuesday night but Thursday night’s starter Sonny Gray made sure that wouldn’t happen. Gray just didn’t have it and the Yankees found themselves behind 6-0 after […]
Early Returns: Aaron Judge is Still Awesome
The Yankees have had a rough start to the season, with endless injuries, bullpen meltdowns, and slow starts from key players. And yet, I think the balance of news is actually good because Aaron Judge is still awesome. We all know the stats. Judge was a superstar in 2017: .284/.422/.627, .443 xwOBA, etc. Judge broke […]
Bronx Beat Episode 140: Even More Injuries, Boo Stanton?
EJ and Scott talk about Didi Gregorius’ great start, the mounting Yankee injuries, and players to be concerned about.
About Last Night: Ugh
I’m going to admit something I probably shouldn’t admit but here it goes: I didn’t watch a second of last night’s game. You know why? Because I figured the Yankees would lose. Call it a hunch, call it self-preservation or call it ‘the Yankees in April against the Red Sox’ but I knew not to […]
