Much has passed in Yankee Land since I started this two-part article, including Jose Trevino missing some spring ball with an injury, but my point still stands: Kyle Higashioka was much better for the Yankees in ’22 than most fans realize, and we need to temper our expectations for Trevino. Because Trevino, despite playing like … Continue reading More Higgy, Less Trevino (…?) Part II

Let’s Talk Omar Minaya…
As you’ve likely heard, the Yankees hired Omar Minaya as a “Senior Advisor to Baseball Operations” along with Brian Sabean in a similar capacity. This started a storm of comments from the media and fans about how this, given Sabean’s and Minaya’s reputations as scouts, was a sign the Yankees had become too analytically driven … Continue reading Let’s Talk Omar Minaya…
Yankees’ Report Cards: Position Players Pt. 2
Today we have the rest of the 2022 report cards for Yankees position players (if you missed part 1, simply go back to the previous post). Let’s get right to it, but two quick reminders: I only included players with at least 150 PA in 2022, and the grades are based on the individual expectations … Continue reading Yankees’ Report Cards: Position Players Pt. 2
NYY vs. TOR: Our lucky charm vs. Kikuchi
I’ve been to Toronto, but I’ve never been to The Rogers Centre (it was SkyDome when I was in the city) so if you’ve been there, perhaps you can help me out: I know that there is a hotel, restaurants, and shops on the grounds – is there any place that Yankees fans can buy … Continue reading NYY vs. TOR: Our lucky charm vs. Kikuchi
Let’s Talk About Hicks (and his fans)
Let’s talk about Aaron Hicks and the Yankees fans who simply don’t like him. That’s the important part: If you just don’t like the guy, say that. I might be a little curious why you don’t like a guy you don’t know and has never done anything off the field to draw our ire (like … Continue reading Let’s Talk About Hicks (and his fans)
NYY vs. TOR: Taillon vs. Manoah
The Yanks got off to a great start in their series with Toronto, taking game one of the three-game set by a final score of Gleyber Torres 3, Toronto 2. With the win – their 10th in a row, and 12th of their last 13 – the Yankees extended their lead in the AL East … Continue reading NYY vs. TOR: Taillon vs. Manoah
A Trevino Appreciation Post (and an admission of guilt)
The Yankees have another big game coming up in a few hours, and we’ll get to that in a few minutes.. But before we get to tonight’s matchup, I have to admit I may have been wrong about something. (Keyword “may” have.) Jose Trevino is an absolute joy to watch behind the plate, and his … Continue reading A Trevino Appreciation Post (and an admission of guilt)
New Week, New (better) Opponent
I have to preface everything I’m about to say with this: I’m not a psychologist for individuals or small groups and I generally mock those who act as if they are when they aren’t psychologists either. To wit, when fans or sportswriters refer to players and teams, grit, toughness, character, etc. I think 99.9 percent … Continue reading New Week, New (better) Opponent
Lots Going on in Yankee land…
It’s the end of another week and the end of another series for the Yankees, so let’s have a quick status update on matters that we fans may find important. But first, a quick trivia question: With one calendar month of the 2022 season in the books, Anthony Rizzo is the Yankees team leader in … Continue reading Lots Going on in Yankee land…
Yanks Need More of the Same Tonight
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
