Since the Yankees were unfortunately eliminated in the ALDS, we here at Pinstripe Alley have been reviewing the 2025 Yankees’ season. We’ve taken some time to look back on both the highs and lows of this past year, but what we’re doing today isn’t quite that. No, today we’re going to look back on the […]
More than 55,000 fans packed Shea Stadium on October 26, 2000, for the fifth game of the World Series. The “hometown” Mets trailed the reigning, defending, undisputed two-time World Series champion Yankees three games to one. To close out the Fall Classic, the Yanks turned to Andy Pettitte. He faced off against once and future […]
After the Blue Jays rattled off on a run parade against the Dodgers bullpen in Game 1, it was up to Yoshinobu Yamamoto to stay in the game as long as possible to limit exposure of the soft underbelly of his team. He answered the bell, becoming the first LA pitcher since Orel Hershiser in […]
We’ve played two in Toronto, and we’ve got a tied series. The Dodgers bounced back impressively from a Game 1 beatdown, Yoshinobu Yamamoto turning in another outstanding start, going the distance while getting enough support from his offense. Los Angeles is once again in a strong position, hosting the next three games with a chance […]
MLB Trade Rumors | Anthony Franco: Yankees hitting coach James Rowson appears to be one of four finalists for the Twins’ vacant managerial position, per Dan Hayes and Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic. The other contenders are former Pirates manager Derek Shelton, Cubs bench coach Ryan Flaherty, and former Mariners manager Scott Servais. Hayes and […]
The 2000 World Series had gotten off to a roaring start, with the Bombers taking each of the first two games by a margin of one run. Game 3 was not as much of a fun for those in pinstripes, as they dropped another close ballgame, to make this series a lot more interesting. 25 […]
Unfortunately some notable blow ups in the ALDS against the Blue Jays will be the last taste in our mouths as far as the 2025 season is concerned, but on the whole it was a pretty good one for Yankees starting pitching. Max Fried signed with the Yankees and was very good. Carlos Rodón made […]
After a few days of mental regrouping, baseball is back, as the Blue Jays and Dodgers kicked off the 2025 World Series at the Rogers Centre up north of the border. It was a tense and tight start to Game 1 of the Fall Classic, but once they found their footing, the Blue Jays took […]
The finale of the 2025 season kicked off last night, with the Blue Jays running away with a surprise Game 1 victory 11-4. Addison Barger’s pinch-hit grand slam was the gut punch that sealed the deal, but the Jays had already gotten to Dodgers starter Blake Snell well before that. Toronto took a huge step […]
MLB | Jesse Borek: Three and a half years ago, the Yankees signed undrafted free agent Hueston Morrill. Morrill, who’d played both ways in college, prefered to be a hitter. But when the Yankees thought he could transition to pitching full-time, he embraced it. After a non-descript 2024, Morrill exploded in 2025. Across the season […]

We have a Fall Classic matchup between the National League’s chalk pick and one of the more surprising American League winners, at least based on preseason projections. The Toronto Blue Jays will welcome the reigning and defending World Series champion Dodgers tonight for the first Fall Classic in Canada since 1993, and the big face-off […]
As the World Series moved across town, the Yankees had the Mets flat on the mat. They’d won a pair of thrillers, outlasting the Mets with a walk-off in Game 1 before holding on for dear life in a memorable Game 2. With a 2-0 lead in hand, they took the train to Queens with […]
After the Dodgers exposed the Yankees’ defensive shortcomings last October — and reveled in twisting the knife in the months that followed — GM Brian Cashman faced questions all offseason about how he’d bolster his defensive unit. The results were a mixed bag. Newcomers like Cody Bellinger and Ryan McMahon shored up problem areas from […]
We have one more day without baseball, the the Blue Jays and Dodgers set to start the World Series tomorrow night in Toronto. The interregnum between the League Championship Series and the World Series often brings an odd preview of the offseason; after an incredible Game 7 between the Jays, we’ve had to sit on […]
The Athletic | Brendan Kuty: ($) Kuty spoke to Brian Schulz, an orthopedic surgeon and the team physician for the Angels, about Anthony Volpe’s partially torn labrum. Schulz offered some idea as to how the team may have not realized how injured their starting shortstop was for much of the season, reasoning that it can […]
I got a lot of texts like this on Monday night: For all the talk about hockey, Canada comes alive when the Blue Jays are doing well. Bolstered by being the only team that’s broadcast across the country, not unlike the way TBS made the Atlanta Braves a nationwide brand in the 90s, 40 million-odd […]
After a dramatic walk-off win in Game 1, the Yankees doubled their advantage in Game 2 of the 2000 World Series. However, the road there was a bit of a roller coaster. The first inning featured arguably the most memorable moment of the series for anyone who’s not a Yankee fan. The Bombers mostly dominated […]
After defensive miscues played a major role in the Yankees’ defeat in the 2024 World Series, the Yankees clearly made it a priority to strengthen their performance with the glove in 2025, as they brought in a trio of Gold Glovers in Cody Bellinger, Max Fried, and Paul Goldschmidt during the winter, shifted Jazz Chisholm […]
We’re in the waiting game for the final matchup of the year, with the World Series set to kick off in two more days. Once we have a champion, the offseason begins in earnest and we’ll start to see the beginnings of the Yankees’ plans for improving this team — unlike many of the past […]
SNY | Phillip Martinez: Luke Weaver was such a valuable reliever for the Yankees for much of his tenure with the team, but an ugly second-half and postseason performance likely spells the end of his time in pinstripes. The struggles began after returning from a hamstring injury in late June and only got worse as […]
The second week of the Arizona Fall League is now in the books! As a reminder, the Yankees’ representatives this year for the Mesa Solar Sox are Bryce Cunningham, Cade Smith, Brady Kirtner, Coby Morales, Hueston Morrill, Manuel Palencia, Adam Stone, and Enmanuel Tejeda. Here’s how they performed this past week, as compared to Week […]

And just like that, the 2000 baseball season came down to two teams, both from the same city, with their stadiums about 14 miles away from each other. The New York Yankees and the New York Mets were bidding for a World Series title after fighting their way through their respective opponents, the Oakland Athletics […]
The 2025 season has come and gone for the Yankees. There were plenty of highlights, as Jeremy showed yesterday, but there were also plenty of lowlights. Today, we will, unfortunately, look at those lowlights in Pinstripe Alley’s annual installment of the worst moments of the 2025 season. (Dis)honorable mentions 5. Gerrit Cole goes under the […]
