Last week’s return to game action got the second half off to a strong start, though there’s plenty of work still to be done. That’s why to start the week, the front office meant business… Let’s make a deal With Chad Green out for the season and Jonathan Holder on the disabled list for the […]

After a strong first portion of the year that ended with the Yankees comfortably in first place, it’s time for a break from regular season action. There’s meaningful baseball to be played by the end of the week, but not before the midsummer classic: Homers aplenty in the All-Star Game Inexplicably, this parallel universe held […]

It’s amazing how deep into the season we are, isn’t it? With the season starting earlier and the All-Star break later, it’s bizarre that nearly 100 games after passed already. The real-life Yankees stumbled to the break. After a positive previous week, how did the virtual Yanks do? Falling to the lowly Orioles Whether it’s […]

Last week was another lukewarm performance for the Yankees in the parallel OOTP world. There was some excitement with the debut of Gleyber Torres, but continued mediocre play dampened some of the enthusiasm for the team’s top prospect. At least these Yankees are still in first place, though continued so-so play won’t allow that to […]

For a few weeks, the OOTP Yanks were on a good run recovering from a so-so start to the season. Last week was a slight bump in the road, but certainly not a backbreaker this early in the schedule. Still, with a good Nationals team and the first place Rays coming to the Bronx in […]

Not every week can go as swimmingly as the previous one did, I guess. Just as the virtual Yankees got on track, things took a turn in this week’s catch up with the OOTP universe Yankees. The draft Before getting into game action, the virtual league stocked up on amateur ballplayers just like in real […]

Last week, the parallel universe Yankees began to right the ship. Perhaps I was getting ahead of myself with that headline, but the team had started playing a little better even before my last post. This week, the team confirmed that it’s on the right track, with two strong series against the Astros and the […]

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 […]
