The Yankees did what they were supposed to do last night: The bats bludgeoned a pitcher that they’re supposed to bludgeon to the tune of 11 hits, with six for extra bases. Nestor Cortes, who clearly didn’t have his best command, showed us again that even “bad” Nestor isn’t “bad” as his 48-game score attests. … Continue reading Yanks Need More of the Same Tonight

What NYY fans need to know about KC
Tonight the Yankees play the first of three games in Kansas City – three games that present yet another opportunity for the Bombers to pad their record against a substandard team.

Day Baseball! Grab your brooms…
The suddenly red hot Yankees will look for the three-game series sweep and their sixth win in a row overall this afternoon in the Bronx against the Baltimore Orioles.

Will Rizzo continue to rake? Yes – here’s why:
It’s only April 26th and Anthony Rizzo has had only a little more than 10 percent of the PA he’s going to get this season, but he’s off to a good start by anyone’s estimation. He currently ranks in the 96th and 95th percentiles in xwOBA and xSLG respectively, so he’s clearly been squaring the … Continue reading Will Rizzo continue to rake? Yes – here’s why:

Well, it didn’t take long to reap the benefits of said … Continue reading A Win is a Win
Let’s Talk About Strikeout Totals
I generally try to avoid repeating conversations that have already taken place countless times just to address people that clearly don’t like to do their homework, and like admitting they were wrong even less when they do said homework. That said, there are just so many fans – and Yankees fans in particular – that … Continue reading Let’s Talk About Strikeout Totals
NYY vs. BAL: A key game in a key stretch
The Yankees are in first place, and yes I understand it’s April 17th, so make fun of me all you want for scoreboard watching before tax day. Yet as I mentioned earlier in the week when context is considered, we should be pumped that the Yankees are at the top of the AL East standings. … Continue reading NYY vs. BAL: A key game in a key stretch
