This past week looked like it was going to continue to frustrate the Yankees, as they opened up with a series where they pulled a split from the jaws of a sweep. The Angels outclassed them on the field, dominated the two wins that they took in the Bronx, and only thanks to the full […]
So we can only have so many nice things with the 2026 Red Sox, eh? Good news! The offense can actually produce runs! Bad news! Sonny Gray left the game in the third with right hamstring tightness and we had to almost empty out the pen before the series against the Yankees! Fun times. Can […]
The New York Yankees have obviously had many successful decades in their history, but despite winning more games than anyone in baseball in the ’80s, it ranks among their lowest-achieving. After losing the World Series in 1981, the Bombers wouldn’t play postseason baseball for well over a decade, not playing meaningful October ball again until […]
Hard times produce heroes. Hall of famers too. Chris Carrino qualifies as both, a hero for his courage in the face of a debilitating disease, a Hall of Famer for his skills as a broadcaster. As YES Network explained this week, Carrino is a man for all seasons — 22 and counting — whose career […]
There’s no sugarcoating it: the Yankees’ bullpen has looked real shaky to start the year. As a collective unit, their 4.22 ERA ranks 17th in MLB through Saturday’s action, and only four teams have blown more saves than their five. Exacerbating the issue is that their two late-inning options—David Bednar and Camilo Doval—have been only […]
After a difficult two-week stretch, it was nice for the Yankees to have a laugher series against the Royals. They swept their first series since the opener against the Giants, the pitching staff bouncing back to limit Kansas City to six runs across the three games while Aaron Judge and Ben Rice are really finding […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: Postponed due to rain at Syracuse Mets; doubleheader scheduled for June 3rd Double-A Somerset Patriots: L, 6-7 vs. Reading Fightin Phils 3B George Lombard Jr. 1-4, HR, BB, RBI, 2 K — pretty nice to lead off a ballgame by taking no less than Zack Wheeler deep to dead center, gotta say […]
The Yankees are in a pretty fortunate position in terms of their starting pitching at the moment. Max Fried and Cam Schlittler have been superb leading the rotation, easing the pressure on the rehabbing Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón. Unless he can turn the clock back to the first half of 2024 in his next […]
MLB Trade Rumors | Charlie Wright: The Yankees made a minor trade on Sunday, trading infielder Braden Shewmake to the Astros for Wilmy Sanchez. Shewmake has appeared in the majors for the Braves and White Sox and was signed as a minor-league depth infielder. As for who the Yankees have picked up, Sanchez is a […]
The start of the game was delayed a little over three hours, but it didn’t seem to affect either the Yankees’ bats or arms. With a chance to sweep the Royals, the club did just that, flattening their onetime bitter rivals behind Ryan Weathers’ strong start and a big first inning for the lineup. The […]
The week ended how it began, with a Kansas City loss. That is also how the entire middle went. Kansas City’s losing streak has extended to seven games and they will go home after an 0-6 road trip. Cole Ragans’ first inning started BB, HR, BB, K, BB, BB and he still managed to get […]
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! This week, we focus not just on the present, but also on the legacy of the past, as we celebrated Jackie Robinson Day this Wednesday. How did the Yankees acknowledge this important day — as well […]
The New York Yankees are eyeing a series sweep of the Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon, and first pitch of the expected matchup between southpaws Ryan Weathers and Cole Ragans was supposed to be 1:35pm ET. Unfortunately, the weather isn’t cooperating. Even before the Yankees revealed their starting lineup for Sunday, they posted at […]
The Yankees have managed to right the ship a little bit this weekend, taking the first two games of this series versus the Royals. After a bit of a rocky week or so, the way to really get back on track isn’t just to win a series, but to sweep it, and ahead of a […]
Another afternoon tilt in New York for the Royals today as they try to salvage one win on what has been a truly demoralizing road trip. Two new faces have joined the team for today’s game. Elias Diaz will be catching; the veteran has been in the big leagues since 2015 but has never played […]
Entering play on Sunday, April 19th, the American League only has five of its 15 teams with a positive run differential. Normally, a small number like that means there’s a great likelihood of it being a top-heavy league, but that’s not necessarily the case. In fact, for all the potential flaws that the Yankees have […]
During my tenure at Pinstripe Alley—hell, during my entire time as a baseball fan—I’ve never been shy about delving into the team’s history and exploring the lives of its long roll call of players, both incredible and regrettable. We provide plenty of other coverage on the current-day activities of the teams, so I like having […]
On the afternoon of October 7, 1995, Scott Kamieniecki prepared to take the mound at the Kingdome for what would be the pinnacle of his Yankees tenure. As would be the case throughout that tenure, though, the moment was fraught. On the heels of a near-family tragedy the day prior that left him shaken, the […]
The Yankees were one of the first teams in action yesterday, and quickly set about making the Royals one of the first teams out of action. It all turned into the Yanks’ first big blowout of the year, as they smoked KC with four homers in a 13-4 score. Huzzah! The only downside was that […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 4-9 (7) and L, 4-7 (7) at Syracuse Mets Game 1: LF Jasson Domínguez 1-4, 1 RBISS Oswaldo Cabrera 0-32B Max Schuemann 1-2, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 SBCF Spencer Jones 0-3, 1 KRF Yanquiel Fernández 1-2, 1 RBI, 1 BBDH Seth Brown 0-3, 1 K1B Ernesto […]
The Yankees finally got some home cooking going on Saturday, putting a beatdown on the Royals to the tune of 13 runs while Will Warren made it a worry-free day tossing seven innings and striking out 11 batters. Cody Bellinger slugged two home runs on the day, Ben Rice made it three straight days with […]
SNY | John Flanigan: Will Warren dominated the Royals Saturday, holding them off the board into the seventh inning to continue an encouraging start. “The four-seam was really playing well,” Aaron Boone said of his second-year starter. “He got a lot of swing-and-miss, the changeup was good today too, I just think it was the overall mix […]
The Royals will probably win another game this year, but you’d be forgiven if you doubted it. Royals fans were hoping for a different result from the previous six games, and it was different, alright, just not the way they hoped. The Royals were blown out in New York. The Yankees hit four home runs […]
Their overall record is still fine, but the Yankees have struggled of late. Even a lot of their wins have required comebacks or them holding on for dear life over the final couple outs. That included Friday night’s series-opening win over the Royals. On Saturday afternoon in the Bronx, the Yankees finally played a laugher. […]
After an overall annoying series against the Angels, last night’s game was trending towards being annoying too, with the Yankees tied with the Royals in the eighth inning. Enter Ryan McMahon of all people. The embattled third baseball hit his first home run of the season at the best possible time, as his late two-run […]
