Random thoughts after another series win against the Astros
Welcome back to another random thoughts post. The Yankees just finished a series against the defending World Champion Houston Astros and won two out of three games. Overall, the Yankees went 5-2 against Houston in their season series. Last year, they went 2-5. Let’s hope this winning continues if they were to meet in the […]
Episode 147: Trade for Cole Hamels?

OOTP Universe Yankees: Righting the ship
After a slow start to the season, it looks like the alternate universe Yankees are starting to find their way. In the previous abbreviated week, the Yankees won two of three. This week, the team’s winning ways continued and an injured player returned. On to the recaps: Messing with Texas If there’s any team to […]
About Last Night: Gleyber of love
Gleyber Torres did it again. He led the Yankees to victory with a dinger. It wasn’t a walk-off and it was only a solo shot but it made all the difference in a tight game with the Angels. So far Torres, who was already highly touted prospect, has been better than advertised. He looks great on […]

No team throws fewer fastballs than the Yankees, and it’s not particularly close. No team throws a harder average fastball than the Yankees, either. I’m not breaking any new ground here, as this has been written about in many places, including Fangraphs and Sports Illustrated. I’ve even touched upon it as it relates to Sonny Gray. What’s my […]

Masahiro Tanaka has a home run problem. This isn’t news to Yankee fans who have watched the right-hander since 2014 but it seems to get worse every season. On Monday night against the Texas Rangers, Tanaka surrendered two home runs to bring his season total, thus far, to 11. He has given up five in […]
About Last Night: CC, Shreve, and D-Rob end the streak
Wednesday’s game was not good. CC Sabathia fell apart after four innings, Chasen Shreve came in with a three-run lead and allowed two hits to start the bottom of the sixth for the Rangers. Then David Robertson walked two more, which let in a run and then gave up a bases-clearing, go-ahead double. What’s worse […]
Bronx Beat Episode 146: Gleyber Torres is Awesome
EJ, Jim and Scott discuss Gleyber Torres, Greg Bird, and the coming lineup crunch.
About Last Night: Dingers! (Again)
The Yankees are on a historic tear and they are hitting home runs at a torrid pace. After last night’s power display in Arlington, the Yankees have now hit at least four home runs and eight extra-base hits in three straight games. Yeah. It’s the first time a Major League team has accomplished that feat. […]
