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
NYY vs TEX: Nestor Cortes vs Jon Gray
It’s Monday, but to take the sting off of that and the dud of the loss in the second game yesterday, we have day baseball in the Bronx today. The Bombers take on the Texas Rangers again in the boogie down in the rubber match of their three-game series, before welcoming the Blue Jays back … Continue reading NYY vs TEX: Nestor Cortes vs Jon Gray
Quick Recap and Game 2 Preview:
The Yankees got a great game from Gerrit Cole (but a questionable decision to leave him in the game) and bunted far too often, but another shutdown performance from the bullpen and a walk-off long ball from Gleyber did the job. Cue Sinatra! As much as we’d like the rest of the Sunday to celebrate, … Continue reading Quick Recap and Game 2 Preview:
NYY vs. TEX: Gerrit Cole vs. Dane Dunning
Remarkably, the rain has ended, and we’re going to have hardball in the Bronx in just a little while. Here’s your need to know for the first game of the three-game set with the Texas Rangers, with all three to be played out over the next 24 hours. The Yankees will send their ace Gerrit … Continue reading NYY vs. TEX: Gerrit Cole vs. Dane Dunning
Yankees fans cheat sheet for Texas:
Yankees baseball is back! It seems like it’s been so long since we’ve seen Yankees baseball, we all could likely use a quick status update: The Yanks enter action this afternoon in first place in the AL East with an 18-7 record, 1.5 games up on Tampa Bay and three ahead of Toronto. The 18-7 … Continue reading Yankees fans cheat sheet for Texas:
Which Yankees have been impacted by luck?
I’ve long believed that most fans vastly underestimate the impact of randomness and luck on results in baseball, both on a team level and on an individual level. We’ve all seen a player have a great at-bat and absolutely smoke a line drive – but right at a defender. Conversely, we’ve all seen a batter … Continue reading Which Yankees have been impacted by luck?
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
