I generally like to stick to history and analysis here, but I’m going to venture off path a little bit today with some amateur psychological analysis as well as some baseball thoughts. And as a reminder, Out of Left Field is an occasional post about topics that may not need 1,000 words of analysis but … Continue reading Out of Left Field: Rizzo, Vlad Jr., and Chris Rock

Yankees vs. Blue Jays Series Preview
After putting the brooms away from their series sweep of the Rays, the Yankees are north of the border this weekend to take on their AL East Division rival, the Toronto Blue Jays. Given the way that the two teams have been playing lately, it certainly isn’t going to be boring. Despite taking one on … Continue reading Yankees vs. Blue Jays Series Preview
NYY vs. TOR: Jameson Taillon vs. José Berríos
Wow, we barely had time to come down from last night’s win before the Bombers tee it up again this afternoon in the Bronx. Jameson Taillon will toe the slab for the Yanks, who’ll be looking to sweep the short two-game series from their division rival Blue Jays. José Berríos will be on the mound … Continue reading NYY vs. TOR: Jameson Taillon vs. José Berríos
What I Saw (and you may have missed)
Last night’s game certainly had a wild (and appropriate for Yankees fans) ending, which was apropos given the way the first 3:39 of game time had gone. I can’t speak for all Yankees fans of course but I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who spent a good chunk of the night alternating between a … Continue reading What I Saw (and you may have missed)
NYY vs. TOR: Luis Severino vs. Yusei Kikuchi
The Yankees begin a quick two-game set with their division rivals from Toronto tonight in the Bronx. As I wrote earlier today, the soft landing part of the schedule is officially gone as the next seven weeks are going to be a little more challenging for the Bombers. (Hey, nobody said it would be easy…) … Continue reading NYY vs. TOR: Luis Severino vs. Yusei Kikuchi
What the Yankees’ Schedule Tells Us
A few weeks back – April 19th to be exact - I wrote how the Yankees were entering a crucial stretch of the schedule in which they would need to make a move in the AL East if they had serious intentions of winning the division in 2022. For the Yankees, the two-and-a-half-week stretch was … Continue reading What the Yankees’ Schedule Tells Us
A quick review before moving on
Of course, a Yankees fan shouldn’t be annoyed by a loss to a good team after winning 11 in a row but I’m sure I wasn’t the only one miffed at the conclusion of last night’s game. Despite not doing much against a pitcher who they could have done much against, and despite some horrific … Continue reading A quick review before moving on
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
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
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
