You won’t believe this but the Yankees won their first series in Baltimore since September 2013. That’s right. The last time the Yankees won a series in Camden Yards was way back on September 9-12, 2013. I thought it could be fun to take a quick look at that series 1) because we’ll be seeing […]

Signs the Red Sox Should Have Stolen
On Tuesday, the New York Times revealed the latest high-profile addition to baseball’s rich history of sign stealing. Combining two of the pastime’s most treasured traditions (a heated rivalry and an illicit strategy for getting a leg up), the Red Sox’s use of electronics to steal signals from the Yankees is sure to add some […]
About Last Night: Yay dingers!
Sunday night’s game was fun. I like watching fun games. Especially when they’re against the Red Sox. I also like dingers and the Yankees hit four of those on Sunday night—three against Chris Sale. That’s fun too. https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2017/09/04/1808164683/1504496036648/asset_1800K.mp4 Yay dingers! Photo Credit: Wendell Cruz / USA TODAY Sports
About Last Night Yesterday Afternoon: Holliday! Celebrate!
After losing a tough game to the Red Sox on Friday night, the Yankees needed a win Saturday afternoon. And with the game tied 1-1 in the sixth inning, the Yankees found themselves in business against Drew Pomeranz. They had runners on first and third with no outs and Matt Holliday at the plate. Pomeranz […]
About Last Night: Big Stoppa
When CC Sabathia warms up on the Yankee Stadium mound, “I love it when you call me Big Poppa…” blares out of the speakers. The line is from Notorious B.I.G.’s second single “Big Poppa” which has been Sabathia’s song of choice since he signed with the Yankees way back in 2008. It’s also a bit […]
All about that base(running)
The 2017 season has gone remarkably well for the Yankees considering this was supposed to be the organization’s version of a rebuilding year. Prospects have turned into above average major league regulars. The bullpen has been one of the best in the game for the most part. Overall, it has been a solid year thus […]
About Last Night: Gary Sanchez is ridiculous
No, really. After hitting two home runs in Tuesday night’s 13-4 victory over the Tigers, Gary Sanchez did this in his first at bat on Wednesday night. https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2017/08/23/1762316983/1503530696677/asset_1800K.mp4 It wasn’t a majestic home run like his first one on Tuesday night but the fact that he’s continuing to beat up on Tigers’ pitching is […]
The Yankees are playing better than their record
Despite losing two out of three to the Red Sox over the weekend and sitting five games out of first place, the Yankees are a good team. They’re outliving their preseason expectations, surprising many who pegged them to be contenders in 2018 but not 2017. And though they’re not leading the AL East, they still […]
Comparing Didi Gregorius to past Yankee shortstops
When the Yankees acquired Didi Gregorius prior to the 2015 season in a three-team trade involving the Tigers and Diamondbacks that sent righty Shane Greene to Detroit, the Bombers added the Dutch shortstop in the hopes that he could take over the everyday shortstop job following Derek Jeter’s retirement. At the time of the trade, […]
About Last Night: Tommy Kahnle and the changeup of doom
After a short hiatus, About Last Night is back. And with the way this season is shaping up, the next six weeks are going to be pretty exciting… SG We can all agree that Friday night’s game was bad for the Yankees and their bullpen.
