I thought I could no longer be shocked by both fan and media reactions to the Yankees, but watching, listening to, and reading reactions to the last two batting practice sessions disguised as baseball games – I am kind of shocked. Here’s the thing: If you want to scrape my social media accounts and blog … Continue reading Yankees Pitching: I’m Surprised You’re Surprised
I didn’t catch too much of the Yankees/Red Sox game last night, but when I had an opportunity to check my phone, then later when I had the game on the radio in the car, there seemed to be a common theme around the commentary. Something along the lines of “Rodon has been very good … Continue reading Rodon and Volpe: It’s OK to Look Deeper
After his first four seasons in MLB, Aaron Judge won a Rookie of the Year award, a Silver Slugger award, appeared in two All-Star games, and many fans (even non-Yankee fans) believe he has a 2017 MVP award that currently resides on the Altuve family mantel. He did that while playing 99.7% of his career … Continue reading Is Aaron Judge (gasp) Undervalued?
We’ve talked about the Yankees hitters often here at MBP, and frankly, as long as Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Giancarlo Stanton are all simultaneously vaporizing baseballs, there isn’t too much to say. That team is going to score a lot of runs and be a heck of a lot of fun to watch. The … Continue reading NYY Pitching: Not What You Think
It’s an off day for the Yankees, which is always a good excuse to take a step back out of the forest and see how the trees are doing. We’re just past the one quarter mark of the 2024 season and it’s hard not to love how the season has gone thus far. The Bombers … Continue reading Yankees Quarter Pole Check In:
By night's end, the Yankees will be 20 percent through the 2024 season, and regardless of the outcome of tonight’s game in Baltimore, they be in the neighborhood of a 100-win pace over 162. Of course, 20 percent of a season is a small sample, but it shouldn’t be disregarded either. That said, what can … Continue reading The ’24 Season is One Fifth Done – What Can We Expect the Rest of the Way?
Happy Monday! The New York Yankees are 15-7 and in first place in a division in which every team has a winning record. That’s great news without any caveats, but when you consider Gerrit Cole would be making his fifth start today (he’s made zero) and Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres have combined for a … Continue reading Say It: Aaron Boone is Doing a Great Job
Even though it’s only April 18th, it’s hard not to be excited about the 2024 Yankees. They’re in first place in a division in which all five teams are over .500, and not insignificantly, have been a heck of a lot of fun to watch. With regards to yesterday’s fist pump generating come from behind … Continue reading Three Takeaways From Yesterday’s Game
The Yanks are in Cleveland for a three-game set, so let’s talk about the Guardians. I’m not a betting man, but if I were, I’d bet that we’re going to hear about the surprising, upstart, Guardians who currently sport a 9-3 record. Don’t buy it. They’re the same old Guardians. They swing A LOT, make … Continue reading Let’s Talk Cleveland
The Yanks are playing phenomenally and have been a heck of a lot of fun to watch as well – there’s absolutely zero reason not to be optimistic about the rest of 2024. That said, Joe Girardi talking about bunting and “contact” over the first few games, then Paul O’Neill citing every player’s batting average … Continue reading Great Start Yankees! But Let’s Dig Deeper…
