Reggie Jackson arrived at Yankee Stadium on October 18, 1977 with a chip on his shoulder. In part, it was because that was his natural state. But he had something in particular to prove that day. Despite winning a trio of championships — and the 1973 World Series MVP — in Oakland, he had yet […]
I’m on double duty tonight for Rivalry Roundup and our Today on Pinstripe Alley/daily question post, so since I generally try to throw some very quick thoughts on what the Yankees did as well in these, you’ll excuse me for double-dipping in the next two paragraphs. What an awful road trip. The Yankees got swept […]
This time a week ago, all anyone could really do was dread the idea of the Orioles playing more games against the Yankees. After every game of the previous four-game set went embarrassingly badly for the O’s, another Yankees series could have been the thing that spins this season out of control. In this week’s […]
The Yankees got run out of Queens this weekend, dropping back-to-back contests to the Mets—the latter in particularly ignominious fashion—to lose the Subway Series and their third straight series overall. Adding to their woes is the Rays’ continued success, which leaves them three games back in the divisional road. Now seems like a less-than-ideal time […]
Meet the Mets Every good Mets season needs That Game. You know, the one that you look back on in a year or 20 and say “remember that game?” Perhaps Sunday afternoon was That Game for the 2026 New York Mets. Coming against the Yankees, that’s just a bonus. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, Faith […]

Last Week’s Results Division Standings Last Week Top Pitching Performance of the Week Is it time to rename this section to “What impressive performance did Jacob Misiorowski pull off last week?” It’s starting to feel that way with how well he’s been pitching. He followed up his performance against the Yankees last week with a […]
What an awful road trip. The Yankees got swept in Milwaukee, lost two of three to an underwhelming-as-hell Orioles team, and then did the same against the Mets, who entered as one of the worst teams in baseball. The 2-7 trip ended when David Bednar couldn’t hold a three-run lead in the ninth, evaporating the […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: The Yankees limp home from what Aaron Boone called “a terrible road trip” — a 2-7 stretch that saw them fall from a half-game up on Tampa Bay to three games back of the surging Rays. The obvious takeaway was the alarming performance of the bullpen, capped off by closer David […]
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! The last time we met for this series, we honored the legendary John Sterling, sharing more than 30 posts from throughout the league celebrating the life and legacy of the broadcaster. As such, in addition to looking […]
Elmer Rodríguez has faced some seriously fierce competition in his first three MLB starts, squaring off against Nathan Eovaldi, Jacob deGrom, and today Freddy Peralta. He authored the best start of his young MLB career, holding the Mets to a run while pitching into the fifth to match the way Peralta was repeatedly silencing each […]
The Yankees are not playing their best baseball at the moment, winning just two of their last eight games to fall several games back of first. That three of those losses have come against a pair of struggling teams in the Orioles and Mets makes the Bombers’ deficiencies appear all the most glaring — and […]

In August of 1969, Carlos May found himself laying in a hospital bed. Just weeks removed from appearing in his first All-Star Game, the burly outfielder was, by his own admission, feeling sorry for himself. That’s because he’d suffered a freak accident during a gunnery exercise while fulfilling his service obligations with the U.S. Marine […]
Meet the Mets The Mets beat the Yankees 6-3 to even the Subway Series at one game apiece. It was a solid group effort, especially from the bullpen, highlighted by Luke Weaver escaping an inherited bases loaded, nobody out jam in the seventh to protect the lead. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, Faith and Fear […]
The Yankees were unable to maintain their momentum from the series opener, dropping the middle game by a score of 6-3 to the Mets. Carlos Rodón by his own admission continued to suffer from a lack of command, and the offense couldn’t produce the timely hit when they needed it most. Theirs was a relatively […]
Hello, friends. If the Orioles had been determined to do everything in their power to squander any good feelings or positive momentum from managing to win two out of three against the Yankees, the last two games against the Nationals would hardly have played out any differently. What was a close game yesterday got out […]

Saturday was a frustrating day for the Yankees, who dropped the middle game of their series with the Mets thanks to some sloppy play. Thankfully mistakes have been few and far between for New York this year, a nice departure from the previous few seasons where their poor fundamentals were taken advantage of, but it […]
CBS Sports: On Saturday, the Yankees made the decision to recall Elmer Rodríguez in light of putting Max Fried on the injured list. However, Rodríguez will also now be starting this afternoon’s game in place of Ryan Weathers. There’s no additional injury to Weathers to worry about, as he’s now penciled in to start Monday […]
If you look at just some parts of the box score of this game with the runs stat blocked out, you might think the Yankees had come away with a win. They outhit the Mets, and they were fairly close in a lot of other stats. The issue for them is that they made several […]
Friday night saw the Yankees and Mets renew the Subway Series for 2026, and it went pretty well for the Bronx half of the rivalry. Led by another good start from Cam Schlittler, the Yankees downed the Mets to take round one. However, it’s a new day, and the two teams will now face off […]
Unwilling, and rightfully so, to rush Gerrit Cole’s return date to a big-league mound, the Yankees will look to their Triple-A roster to help fill the absence of the recently injured Max Fried. With their ace hitting the shelf due to a left elbow bone bruise, the Yankees will bring up starter Elmer Rodríguez to […]

The Mets officially placed starter Clay Holmes on the 15-day IL after suffering a fractured fibula in last night’s game against the Yankees. To take his place on the roster, the Mets called up right-handed reliever Joey Gerber from Triple-A to take his spot on the roster. Holmes suffered the fractured fibula in the fourth […]
