It was a quiet day around baseball and particularly in the Yankees’ dugout, the Bombers getting one-hit to lose the rubber match against the Athletics, 1-0, with hardly a whimper of protest. There were only five other games around the league on this sleepy Thursday, and only one we’ll cover today for Rivalry Roundup, the […]
Morning A’s fans and welcome to another Friday! The club has wrapped up the first New York series this week with a series win over the Yankees. The last couple of games were especially close but they managed to pull through and get their record to 5-7. Now they depart from the Bronx to head […]
After a high-quality win opened their most recent series with the Athletics, the Yankees finished it off with tough back-to-back losses. In those two ballgames, the “Bombers” mustered just five combined hits and two runs, which included a one-hit shutout in the latter. With some of their better arms slated to start in their upcoming […]

We’re months away from when the Yankees usually have their midseason malaise, but if they have one this year, then we got a little preview this week. They had every chance to win their fourth-straight series to open the year, but dropped the last two against the A’s at home, both contests decided by one […]
For every move there is a corresponding one, and for the first time in this 2026 season, the Yankees will have to mess around with their 26-man roster, completing a move that had been on the cards ever since the start of the season. Luis Gil will join the starting rotation, marking the end of […]
The Yankees have generally gotten off to a winning start this season, with only a few things here and there going wrong. One thing that has definitely gone wrong for them has been the fact that they’ve gotten hardly any production out of the lower order of the lineup. As it turns out, that’s a […]
Fresh off a come from behind, ninth inning victory over the New York Yankees last night, the two teams were back at it this morning for the rubber match of the 3-game series at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Jeffrey Springs got the start for the Athletics today against Ryan Weathers for the Yankees. Both […]
The Yankees haven’t had many losses on the young season, but you could argue that Wednesday’s was the most frustrating so far. After starting the game with a couple hits and a couple runs in the first innings, they proceeded to not do much for the rest of the game. That allowed the Athletics to […]
Fresh off a come from behind, ninth inning victory over the New York Yankees last night, the two teams are back at it this morning in the Bronx. Yankee Stadium will host the rubber match of this three-game series with the 4-7 A’s going up against the 8-3 Yankees. Jeffrey Springs will get the start […]
The New York Yankees have seen hundreds of hurlers walk through the clubhouse doors. Some stayed for a long time and continued long major league careers elsewhere, while others saw the flame of their professional baseball dreams burn out quickly. For this edition of the Yankees birthday series, we’ll be taking a look at not […]
The Yankees took a loss to the A’s on a cold evening in the Bronx on Wednesday. Despite the game being tied into the ninth inning, David Bednar allowed a pair of hits and a run in the top half, which allowed the A’s to cruise to victory. Beyond the action in a chilly Yankee […]
Every year, the Yankees seem to pluck an unknown reliever from another roster and magnify the things he does best, converting another team’s trash into their own treasure. Clay Holmes, Ian Hamilton, Jake Cousins, and Luke Weaver stand out as notable recent examples, and it looks like we can add another name to that list. […]
We’re three weeks into the season now, and the Yankees are off to a hot start at 8-3. They swept their opening series, won the next two dropping individual games, and have the chance to win another with the series finale against the A’s today. The AL East was looking asleep at the wheel for […]
AM New York | Ashley Cando: Amed Rosario’s two-homer day Tuesday was a validation of the organization’s belief in his ability to impact a team with championship aspirations. “We brought Rosie back because not only is he a really good player, but he is a tremendous teammate,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said of the journeyman, […]
The A’s and Yankees had a duel on Wednesday evening in the Bronx. One day after dropping a close game in the late innings, it was the Athletics’ turn as they beat the Yankees thanks to a top of the ninth RBI to win 3-2. Close but we’ll take it. Right-hander Luis Severino was on […]
Enough of the new season smell has worn off that we can all say this game was a bit miserable. The Yankees had a golden opportunity to blow the contest open in the first inning, and after the first three Yanks all reached base, barely a soul managed to do so for the rest of […]
After spearheading last night’s thrilling comeback win, Amed Rosario finds himself back in the starting lineup, and I will be expecting another two home runs from today’s third baseman. He and the rest of the Yankees will be facing off against the man who was once seen as the future long-term ace of the staff, […]
Ready for Round 2? The A’s and Yankees are set to go at it again tonight in New York. The Green & Gold dropped the first game yesterday evening in heartbreaking fashion with another late-game meltdown so the club will try to run through the finish line in their second try against the team with […]
The Masters has always felt like the dance partner to baseball’s Opening Day. Both seemingly will Mother Nature to push spring north, allowing everyone to begin to thaw and return to the green grass that calls to us. In the sports world, it often feels like most roads eventually lead to golf: a sport designed […]
Hang the red, white and blue bunting. Cue the pregame pomp and circumstance. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders are coming home for the first time in 2026. After opening the season with nine games on the road. the RailRiders are set for their home opener at PNC Field against the Durham Bulls, top affiliate of the Tampa […]
When the Yankees acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon last July, the general consensus was that they were bringing in a player who made up for his lack of pop at the plate with some of the best defense in the game. Although he has yet to earn a Gold Glove, this lack of hardware has […]
Today’s edition of our Yankees birthday series brings us to another member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Owner of one of the most iconic nicknames in the game’s history, Jim Hunter may have only played a third of his career in pinstripes, but in the Bronx, and within the game in general, the right-hander […]
It took a while to overcome the cold, but the bats heated up in the eighth inning for the Yankees to manage the Athletics in the opener of their latest series. Amed Rosario was the clear MVP of the night, smashing a pair of home runs including the go-ahead three-run jack that won them the […]
This past Saturday, Giancarlo Stanton stole the show not for his stupendous power but for his baserunning. The slugger whose speed can charitably be described as “plodding” nonetheless swiped second base in the seventh inning when the Marlins neglected to hold him on first. His first steal since the 2024 ALDS and just his second […]
