With the enormous caveat that it’s far too early to glean anything significant from player performances, there is a glimmer of hope on the Anthony Volpe front. That’s for those of you like me, who are still fuming that the Yankees passed on Corey Seager or giving Oswald Peraza a 6-week run of regular PA … Continue reading Will the Real Volpe Please Stand Up?
The Yanks took the “L” yesterday afternoon in Pittsburgh, which, in the big scheme of matters, isn’t a huge deal. They took two out of three over the weekend and sit at 6-3 on the season atop the AL East. That said, getting shut down by Andrew Heaney made it a tough one to watch. … Continue reading Quick Look Back and Forward:
The Yankees wrap up their weekend series in the Steel City today before heading out to Detroit for a three game set there. Will Warren will be on the bump in the road grays, and the Bombers will be taking their hacks against old friend Andrew Heaney. As a Yankee, Heaney was awful, somehow managing … Continue reading Yankees @ Pirates, and Some Random Thoughts
The Yankees are 4-2 and have outscored their opponents by 3.5 runs per game. The bottom line is unequivocally, very good. That said, and with the huge caveat that six games is a sneeze in terms of baseball season time*, there are some things we can keep an eye on that may have a big … Continue reading Yankees Temperature Check
We, as fans, all tend to overvalue the impact of a few games within the 162-game season, both when our favorite team plays awfully and when they do what the Yankees did this weekend. As much as I enjoyed watching the Yankees play some home run derby this weekend, I’m here to suggest we keep … Continue reading That was Fun! But…
If you missed the game yesterday, you missed a lot. Milwaukee’s three Field Goals weren’t enough to overcome the Yankees putting up a 20 (twenty) spot on the board, as the Yankees improved to 2-0 on the season, with a 20-9 win in the Bronx. The tide turned in this game when Paul Goldschmidt hit … Continue reading 20-9 Yanks Win: What You May Have Missed…
It’s the first Saturday of the baseball season, the weather is beautiful (at least in the New York and New Jersey area), the Yankees are undefeated and in first place. It’s a good day. On Opening Day I wrote how the Yankees were the beneficiaries of good fortune last season and that would likely change … Continue reading More On Fortune, Yankees Style…
Today is a good day. The Yankees open the 2025 season against the Milwaukee Brewers (nee Seattle Pilots) at 3:05pm in the Bronx, to embark on the 162-game trek with which we’ll certainly have a six-month love/hate relationship. Coming off an amazing 2024 which ended in soul crushing fashion, and after what seemed to be … Continue reading The 2025 Yankees Will Win _ Games! (Answer Below…)
As you’ve likely heard, Yankees silver spoons owner Hal Steinbrenner announced that he – effective immediately – rescinded the team’s “no beard” policy. Ongoing, “well groomed” beards may, and will be sported by some Bombers. The change came in part, due to the team’s concerns about being able to acquire the best on-field talent. You … Continue reading No Beard Policy, Gone! Insert Eye Roll…
Pitchers and catchers have reported to Spring Training, and I’m here to tell you I’m low man on the Yankees fans optimism depth chart. The addition of Max Fried to the rotation, and having Jazz Chisolm Jr. and Gerrit Cole for the entire season (hopefully) instead of just the second half like last season are … Continue reading Yankees 2025 Optimism Check: Low
