Game 39 Recap: The Evolution of Eovaldi
The theme of the Diamondbacks’ offseason was ‘evolution,’ with a new look jersey and roster. But the evolution in the desert on Thursday night didn’t come from the Diamondbacks. Instead, it came from the Yankees’ side in a 4-2 win. Nathan Eovaldi continued his transformation from a talented thrower to a polished pitcher, and it […]
Nick Goody looks like Shawn Kelley
It wouldn’t be surprising if you struggled to pick out one young Yankees reliever from another. Nick Rumbelow, James Pazos, Brandon Pinder, Nick Goody, Johnny Barbato, and Jacob Lindgren all seem to have blended together while on the never-stopping Scranton Shuttle over the past two seasons. On the mound, none seem to stand out as faces […]
Game 38 Recap: Lost in the desert
Zack Greinke has had an up-and-down start so far this season, but on Tuesday night he was in peak Cy Young form. The $206 million man threw seven innings against the Yankees and allowed five hits, his fewest total in 2016. New York scored a run off the bat of Starlin Castro, who homered in the top of […]
Game 37 Recap: Snake-bitten
Monday night marked the first game of a seven-game road trip for the Yankees, and it all began with a nightmare of an opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field in a 12-2 loss. Chad Green made his major league debut on the mound for the Yankees, and was pitching just fine until a […]
Brian McCann should continue attacking sinkers
While the New York Yankees have been suffering through a myriad of struggles at the plate, catcher Brian McCann has been able to produce at a pretty high level. The veteran catcher has a team-high .275 TAv, an OPS of .805, the second-highest mark of any Yankee, and has been far and away the team’s […]
Brett Gardner is having a career year right under our noses
Yes, I know it’s still early. And yes, I know that I mention that fact in every single post. However, certain stats stabilize quicker than others, and it’s starting to become late enough in the season that deviations might start signaling actual changes. Specifically, this relates to Brett Gardner, who is quietly having what might be […]
Game 36: Another series win, another sliver of hope
There is no clock in baseball, except for the clock between innings and the new clock that times mound visits. And there is no time limit on the baseball itself. There is no 90-minute time period with a break at the 45th, no 15-minute quarters or three 20-minute periods. There is only the slow and […]
Game 35 Recap: Girardi Unleashes Cerberus
Ivan Nova continues to make a compelling case to become a full-fledged member of the Yankee rotation, allowing just two earned runs in 10 ⅓ innings in his first two starts of the year. The extent of the White Sox offense Saturday was Todd Frazier’s line drive solo shot in the fourth inning. Nova left […]
Pregame Notes: Moves galore
NEW YORK — Moves, moves, moves. The Yankees announced a slew of roster moves before Saturday’s game, optioning Gary Sanchez to Triple-A after just one game in the big leagues, and calling up two pitchers in Chad Green and Conor Mullee. The Sanchez move was one the Yankees didn’t hope to make. Brian Cashman said on Saturday […]
