Random thoughts before the home opener
Thanks to a somewhat rare April snowstorm, the Yankees’ home opener against Tampa was postponed on Monday and moved to Tuesday. Unfortunately, Tuesday’s forecast doesn’t look much better. Those pesky April showers you learned about as a kid are threatening the rescheduled home opener from being played as well. So, before the game is (hopefully) played […]
About Last Night: A Boone Blunder
We’re only four games into the season and already the eighth inning is the bad one for the Yankees. On Saturday, Dellin Betances fell apart and allowed the Blue Jays to break a 3-3 tie and ultimately win 5-3. On Sunday, David Robertson surrendered a grand slam to Justin Smoak that turned a 4-3 lead […]
The Yankees in an alternate OOTP universe: The beginning
The Yankees season is underway. In reality, they are 2-2 after splitting its opening series in Toronto against the Blue Jays. Another Yankees team exists in another parallel universe, however, and throughout this season I’ll be providing weekly updates on what the other Yankees do. Where does this other Yankees team exist, you ask? In […]
About Last Night: Dellin Badtances
Yesterday wasn’t a good day for Dellin Betances. Actually, that may be an understatement. Betances entered Saturday’s game in the seventh inning and even though he didn’t surrender any runs, and only gave up a hit, he didn’t look that good. His mechanics would look okay on one pitch and then he’d look out of […]
About Last Night: A strong start for Tanaka
Last year, Masahiro Tanaka’s first start was an unmitigated disaster. The Yankees started 2017 on the road just like 2018 and they started their season in a dome just like 2018 only they were down in Tropicana Field facing the Rays and Tanaka did not last long. He surrendered seven runs on eight hits, including […]
About Last Night: Gi-Gone-carlo Stanton
Welcome back to another season of Yankees baseball and welcome back to BP Bronx’s About Last Night series in which we will examine anything from a single at-bat or a big inning to an entire pitching performance depending on what we feel is the big story from the night before. There was a lot of […]
Retiring the Side vs. Judge, Stanton, and Sanchez
On Opening Day, the Yankees formidable trio of right-handed sluggers—Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Gary Sanchez—batted 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in the lineup. Combined, they went 6-14 with two mammoth blasts from Stanton, three doubles, and a walk. Quite simply, they performed exactly as expected. Judge had a pretty good day. Sanchez added just the […]
Random thoughts before the first game of the season
We’ve made it! Opening Day is finally here. Unfortunately, MLB thought it was necessary to schedule a number of games between 3:00 p.m. ET and 4:30 p.m. ET and our Yankees are right smack in the middle with a 3:37 p.m. start time—Thanks, Toronto. But let’s not allow the funky scheduling to get us down, […]
