Tell me if you’ve heard this one before: The Yankees lost in ugly fashion yesterday. They managed to score only one run off of Mitch White, one of Toronto’s back-end pitchers and then were held to only one more run by five Jays’ relievers. Jose Trevino was the only Yankee other than Aaron Judge to … Continue reading Let’s Talk Gerrit Cole

Let’s talk about Benintendi
(Preface: I despise small sample sizes with the intensity of 1,000 white hot suns. Yet I understand an enormous portion of Yankees Universe absolutely adores small sample sizes so sometimes I’ll play along. We’ll return to this point in a minute.) Since being inserted into the Yankees lineup on July 28th, here are Andrew Benintendi’s … Continue reading Let’s talk about Benintendi
Judge, Ohtani, and MVP Criteria
Fun fact: In 2022, the Yankees have a better winning percentage in games that Joey Gallo played in than in games Aaron Judge has played in – actually, they have a better winning percentage in games Judge hasn’t played in than in ones he has. My point? The number of variables that determine whether a … Continue reading Judge, Ohtani, and MVP Criteria
JFC Yankees, with the bunting…
Last night’s Yankee game was as frustrating a game as I can remember in a very, very long time. Between the “glovework” of Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Aaron Hicks, the non-call on Anthony Rizzo’s HBP, and the bunting…oh, the bunting… Specifically, there’s a lot to unpack with the mind-numbing decision-making with Jose Trevino’s fourth-inning bunt, however, … Continue reading JFC Yankees, with the bunting…
Out of Left Field, August 2nd Edition
Out of left field is an occasional post about matters that don’t need over 1,000 words of analysis, but should be touched on anyway. In no particular order… As someone who’s done the research for thousands of baseball articles, I can assure you that pitchers’ ERA is far (and I mean FAR) more reliant on … Continue reading Out of Left Field, August 2nd Edition
Let’s Be Clear About IKF
If there is an upside to watching Isiah Kiner-Falefa play this season, it’s that it’s finally (FINALLY!!!) opened the eyes of many Yankee fans and media to the fact that making contact just for the sake of making contact is a garbage strategy. If you don’t wait for a pitch you can drive, you’ll rarely … Continue reading Let’s Be Clear About IKF
One Year Ago Today, Gallo’s Career Trajectory Changed
On July 30th, 2021, Joey Gallo made his highly anticipated debut with the Yankees against the Marlins in Miami. After a seemingly interminable string of complaints from Yankees fans and Yankees media about the dearth of left-handed power in the team’s lineup*, seeing Gallo (and Anthony Rizzo) on the field was a source of excitement … Continue reading One Year Ago Today, Gallo’s Career Trajectory Changed

Is Benintendi better than Hicks?
If you follow the Yankees, then you’re aware that we’re well into the discourse about what the team “needs” at or before the trade deadline to fill any holes and head down the stretch (and into the postseason) with an optimal chance at winning the World Series. Juan Soto’s name has come up often as … Continue reading Is Benintendi better than Hicks?
Out of Left Field, July 24th Edition
Out of left field is an occasional My Baseball Page post about matters that don’t necessarily require 1,200 words of analysis, but should be touched on briefly anyway. In no particular order… Michael King Like everyone else, I’m disappointed about Michael King’s status. It’s frustrating to see a late bloomer who was finally starting to … Continue reading Out of Left Field, July 24th Edition
