Is there anything better than a sweep in Boston? The Yankees kept the good times rolling yesterday, rallying late to support Cam Schlittler, who tossed eight stellar innings for his oart. Up next are the Astros, another struggling rival off to a very poor start. The Yankees would do well to shove more dirt on […]

The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: Cam Schlittler has been one of the biggest surprises in recent Yankee history, coming onto the major-league stage in the most impressive way in less than a year. Part of his repertoire of success has been a shiny new cutter he unveiled in his final regular-season start, a cutter taught […]

For six innings, it looked like the Yankees might have finally run out of timely hits in Boston. I will not lie and say I did not put my broom back in the closet. The missed opportunities felt all too similar to the frustrating Tampa series. They stranded runners, watched Red Sox rookie Payton Tolle […]

The year is 1997. Liván Hernández takes the mound for the Marlins in Game 5 of the NLCS against the Braves. Little did the Braves, the fans in attendance, and those tuning in know that they were about to witness one of the most outrageous displays of home plate umpiring in MLB history. Granted, Greg […]

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 […]

Right now, everybody’s talking about bullpens. Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Dodgers put newly signed closer Edwin Diaz on the injured list after a disastrous start to his LA career, as he undergoes surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow. Over in Queens, their two new bullpen arms, Devin Williams and Luke Weaver, […]

The Yankees were a powerhouse team of the late 1990s and the early 2000s, powered by some of the game’s best players of all time. However, they weren’t the only team consistently vying for a World Series championship. The Atlanta Braves were the National League’s elite squad, as from 1991 through 2005, they won a […]

After falling into a rut in the middle of April, the Yankees starting rotation has righted the ship in its last turn. Since the start of the series against the Royals, Cam Schlittler, Will Warren, Ryan Weathers, Luis Gil, and Max Fried all authored some of the best starts of their Yankees careers. After Fried’s […]

The Yankees have stormed Fenway and taken their first series meeting with the Red Sox, and now they stand on the precipice of opening the season series up with a sweep. Their pitching has kept the Sox shut down thus far, tossing a shutout in the first game and allowing a single run in the […]
The Athletic | Brendan Kuty: ($) Yankees players are lobbying their organization to let them wear their batting practice jerseys as an alternate road jersey, a move which would break with the team’s tradition of utilizing only one home and one road jersey. No reason has yet been given publicly for the request, which would […]
Despite giving him the richest contract for a left-handed pitcher in baseball history, the Yankees didn’t sign Max Fried to be an ace. They envisioned pairing him with 2023 Cy Young winner Gerrit Cole atop a formidable rotation, but expected to see them together as a 1-2 postseason punch for years to come. As Yankees […]
The Yankees have epitomized what it means to go through the ebbs and flows of a baseball season, even if we’re not even four weeks into the 2026 season. They started 7-1, lost 8 of their next 11, which included a five-game losing streak, and have now rebounded to win four in a row heading […]
When the idea of the Automated Ball-Strike system was introduced, it was impossible to count the number of baseball fans who thought it would be a good idea. Every baseball fan has had to deal with their team getting robbed in a big moment by a bad call. Whether it was a strike well below […]
Picture this. A player with unfathomable power who obliterates every ball he makes contact with and a decent understanding of the strike zone. Picture that player also with a very steep bat path that creates a massive hole in his swing that makes them extremely prone for in-zone whiffs, to the point where they can […]
Some relievers are easy to admire because of pure stuff. Fernando Cruz is easy to root for because every pitch he throws in pinstripes feels like the payoff to a baseball life that was never supposed to take him here. That feeling stems not only from the high-leverage situations he keeps being placed in, but […]
Welcome to the second edition of the revamped Rivalry Roundup! The Yankees were able to address one of their main rivals head-on last night, blanking the Red Sox behind a sterling effort from Luis Gil and a power display from Giancarlo Stanton. Even if it’s April 22nd, there’s never a bad time to see the […]
The Yankees made a quick shuffle today, placing starter Ryan Weathers on the paternity list and recalling Jake Bird from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Bird had been sent down to the minors after allowing three runs in an outing against the Angels, replaced first by Yerry De Lo Santos and then by Angel Chivilli. This will likely […]
There are landmark moments in the histories of baseball teams that signal the shift in the organization’s trajectory. Years of poorly-assembled starting rotations squandered the primes of Don Mattingly, Dave Winfield and Rickey Henderson, contributing to a 17-year World Series drought and multiples seasons of playoff-less baseball in the Bronx. The 1990s brought a renewed […]
New York Yankees catcher Austin Wells entered Tuesday’s series opener against the Red Sox with a disappointing .180/.344/.260 line, one home run, two RBI, and a 78 wRC+. For a player who posted a 107 wRC+ in 2024 and a 94 mark last year, it’s certainly a step back. By now, we all know that […]
