Game #10: Athletics at Yankees Game Thread

This past weekend, the Athletics won their first series of the season, taking two of three at home. The A’s and Houston Astros traded blowout wins in the first two games of the weekend series before the hosts clinched the series with a win on Easter Sunday. Designated hitter Brent Rooker’s three-run, walk-off home run […]

Yankees At-Bat of the Week: Ben Rice (4/3)

While it was the pitching staff that carried the team through the first week of games, the offense began to break out scoring 23 runs in their three-game set against the Marlins. The unit is still far from firing on all cylinders, Aaron Judge yet to truly ignite his season. Instead, they’ve had to rely […]

Giancarlo Stanton’s start almost seems too good to be true

The Yankees 2026 regular season and pursuit of another American League East title and, most of all, a World Series championship is underway with about as few hitches as a fan could ask for. Despite a troubling start for the bottom half of the order, the Yankees have managed plenty of runs to win games […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Oral Hildebrand

Oral Hildebrand’s baseball story feels almost too perfect for its era. Disney could easily turn it into a coming-of-age summer classic. Born in Indianapolis in 1907, his journey to the Yankees did not begin under bright lights. It started in the kind of Midwestern setting that shaped so many ballplayers of his generation, where imagination […]

New York Yankees vs. The Athletics: Series Preview

The Yankees took care of business through the season’s first two weeks, winning each of their three series. While the team has been solid offensively, its starting rotation has led the way, posting a 1.81 ERA that leads all of baseball by a wide margin. In their second season playing in West Sacramento, the Athletics […]

Yankees prospects: Week 2 minor league recap

For the first time this year, all four Yankees full-season affiliates were in action this past week, as Somerset, Hudson Valley, and kicked off their seasons on Friday night while Scranton put in a full week of work. Some bad weather led to several postponements around the system, but we got to see a great […]

Do the Yankees have a problem with the bottom of their lineup?

The Yankees had an excellent first week and a half of the season, winning three series in a row en route to a 7-2 start. Their pitching was fantastic, their offense was carried by a stellar top-half of the order, and even their two losses came in games in which they led late and only […]

Yankees news: Early struggles and other musings from the young season

The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: Over the weekend, the Yankees faced the Marlins, and Miami have been doing something you might not have realized. Starting towards the end of last season, the Marlins have begun calling pitches in the dugout via the coaching staff and relaying them to the catcher and the pitcher. Don’t expect […]

Ask Pinstripe Alley: Yankees mailbag questions request

The first home series of the year is in the books, and the Yankees have continued to excel in the early going. New York owns the best record in the American League, tied for the best in baseball, and while it’s quite early to be scoreboard watching it is notable to point out that they’ve […]

The Yankees Birthday Series, presented by Pinstripe Alley

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 […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Ken Clay

As we here at Pinstripe Alley continue to do our daily feature highlighting a Yankee birthday of the day, we’re probably going to come upon situations where someone we write about happens to have been in the news recently. In today’s case, it was for a sad reason. Today’s birthday is Ken Clay, who sadly […]

TJ Rumfield made his mark during his first week in the big leagues

TJ Rumfield has had a whirlwind spring. First, he was traded from the New York Yankees to the Colorado Rockies in January in exchange for reliever Angel Chivilli. Then, he absolutely tore through spring training — hitting .286/.359/.554 with five home runs in 23 games. Additionally, he had more walks (5) than strikeouts (2). That […]

How concerning is the Yankees’ bullpen?

The Yankees have gotten off to a 7-2 start, the best in the American League, and there’s obviously a lot going well to support that strong record. However, a perfect team the Yankees have not been, and the flaws have been notable especially in their two losses: the bottom of their lineup hasn’t given them […]

Yankees news: Stanton shows off small ball skills

MLB | Bryan Hoch: Who said Giancarlo Stanton was just a stationary slugger? In Saturday’s 9-7 comeback win against the Marlins, Stanton showed that he has more tools in his bag besides clobbering homers. After drawing a leadoff walk in the seventh inning, Stanton took advantage of the Marlins’ lax defense and stole his first […]

Bullpen can’t hold lead, Yankees fall to Marlins

And on the third start did his ERA rise. Yes, Max Fried finally allowed a man to score, indeed early in Sunday’s rain-delayed series finale with the Marlins. The game started three and a half hours after the scheduled first pitch time, and maybe that delay took a little off Fried’s game. His control wasn’t […]

Yankees Social Media Spotlight: Let the good times roll

It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! When we last met, the Yankees had gotten off to a strong start, sweeping the San Francisco Giants while allowing just one run in three games. Since then, the vibes have continued to be great, for […]

Yankees, Marlins still in rain delay on Sunday (start time announced)

The Yankees are off to a sterling 7-1 start to the 2026 season and have already guaranteed themselves a third consecutive series victory. After sweeping the Giants and taking two out of three from the Mariners in Seattle, they’ve won the first two games of their first homestand of the campaign, beating the Marlins on […]

Mariners Game #10 Preview and Discussion: SEA @ LAA, 4/5/2026

Luis Castillo takes the mound for the Mariners for the second time this season, completing the second spin of the rotation of this season. Despite not earning the decision last time out, Castillo shoved against the Yankees for 6 innings of three-hit ball and tallied 5 strikeouts along with it. Castillo looks to continue his […]

New York Yankees vs. Miami Marlins: Max Fried vs. Pete Fairbanks

The Yankees won the longest nine-inning game of the young season last night, a three-hour, 49-minute slugfest that put them up two games to none in this weekend series against the Marlins. Should fatigue be setting in, the club has the right starter on the mound to go for the sweep, with Max Fried toeing […]
