Yankees’ rookie Chad Green is starting to get noticed. A week ago, here on BP Bronx, Kenny Ducey wrote about Green and his dominant win over the Blue Jays. Green went seven shutout innings allowing just two hits, while striking out 11 in that August 15 start, and on Sunday Green followed that up with […]

The Yankees left New York for a six-game long road trip beginning August 19th, and despite some bumps along the way, it’s undoubtedly been a successful two series. In part thanks to Wednesday’s 5-0 win, the Yankees have gone 4-2 while on the West Coast. While the two losses were ugly and, at times, painful, Wednesday’s […]

C.C. Sabathia has had an up-and-down 2016. Sometimes he’ll throw six or seven solid innings, other times he’ll give up five runs and not finish the third. On Tuesday, Yankees fans who managed to stay awake got vintage C.C. Sabathia. The former Cy Young Award winner tossed seven great innings against the Mariners, allowing just […]

Such was not the case on Friday night as the Yankees’ arrival […]

It’s worth questioning what kind of educational literature would contain the definition of a breakout for a baseball player, but presuming that it exists, Gregorius is certainly conforming to its demands. The 26-year-old is an above-average offensive contributor for the first time […]

“Five games. It’s hard to believe.” Those were the words Yankees principal owner George M. Steinbrenner uttered on Monday Aug. 21, 2006 after his New York Yankees traveled up to Fenway Park and swept the Boston Red Sox in a pivotal series.
