On Monday, we got the very sad news that former Yankees’ radio announcer John Sterling had passed away at the age of 87. The announcement was met with sadness from Yankees’ fans, but also from around the baseball world. The tributes from Yankee fans are hardly unexpected. Sterling had been the radio voice of the […]
Last night, the Brewers put together a strong performance to open up their series against the Yankees, shutting them out 6-0. While the final score reflects a complete game from the Brewers as a team, it was Jacob Misiorowski who generated the talk of the game. Not only did he dominate a strong Yankees’ lineup, […]
Upon trading for superstar Alex Rodriguez in February 2004 and moving him to third base, the Yankees could rest easy knowing that they had secured a real long-term answer for the hot corner. For the better part of nine years, the Yankees planned their seasons with A-Rod penciled in at third, but by 2014, they […]
The Yankees opened their series with the Brewers on a low-note, getting shutout by Jacob Misiorowski for six innings while Max Fried dropped his worst start of the season on the other side. Unfortunately, Spencer Jones’ MLB debut was overshadowed by the team at large struggling on Friday, collecting just three hits on the night. […]
The date is October 2, 1978. With the Yankees down two in the seventh and two runners on, a light-hitting shortstop steps to the plate at Fenway Park. After fouling a ball off his foot, he turns on one. Deep to left! Yastrzemski will not get it, it’s a home run! A three-run home run […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 3-8 at Worcester Red Sox 3B George Lombard Jr. 1-4, BB, K, SBSS Anthony Volpe 1-4, 2B, BB, RBI, 2 K, SB — doubled in Lombard and stole thirdRF Yanquiel Fernández 1-4, 2B, BB, K2B Oswaldo Cabrera 1-5, 2B, 2 RBI, K — booming double to center to plate one in […]
The Yankees got their shit rocked by Jacob Misiorowski last night. Pardon my French, but it’s late as I type this and it’s a pretty darn accurate assessment. Shout-out to the Miz, who demonstrated why he’s one of the league’s best young starters. Once Max Fried ran into trouble, it seemed like the Yankees were […]
MLB Trade Rumors | Darragh McDonald: The Yankees made the promotion of Spencer Jones official yesterday. The top prospect replaced Jasson Domínguez, who sprained his AC joint during Thursday’s game. Jones DH’d and batted sixth in his debut, going 0-for-2 with a walk against fireballer Jacob Misiorowski, who had little issue with the rest of […]
Box Score Jacob Misiorowski celebrated CC Sabathia being inducted into the Brewers’ Wall of Fame in the most ceremonious fashion possible, by striking out 11 Yankees and not allowing a single run, as he led the Brewers to a 6-0 series-opening victory Friday night. Kicking the festivities off in the top of the first inning, […]
The big story for the Yankees going into Friday night’s matchup against the Brewers was the debut of Spencer Jones. The outfielder is a former first-round pick and has some intriguing tools, including massive power. However, we didn’t get to see any of that in his debut, because, unfortunately, other teams are allowed to have […]
On the scoreboard, Thursday’s series finale against the Rangers went quite well, as the Yankes won fairly comfortably, clinching another series win. However, the victory did include an injury to Jasson Domínguez, who has hit the IL after hurting his shoulder crashing into the left field while making a catch. Domínguez’s IL trip has led […]
After an on-and-off week for the Brewers, they’re back in action following a scheduled off day yesterday and this evening, ready to begin a three-game series with the New York Yankees. It’s been just a little over a year since the Yankees and Brewers last squared off, and last year’s series was certainly one that […]
Good afternoon everyone, it’s time to dive back into the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com. The idiot that said, “Harper is coming” asks: Do you have any ideas on who could be the back end of […]
Welcome, friends. I hope you brought popcorn and soda, because it’s time for Part 2 of my impromptu review of the Yankees’ first base situation before Ben Rice arrived on the scene. In Part 1, we covered the decline phase of Mark Teixeira and the tragic fate of Greg Bird, but ended on a high […]
This past offseason, many Yankees fans grew anxious as Cody Bellinger remained unsigned and the club’s only outside addition appeared to be Ryan Weathers. These were the days before the “run it back Yankees” became the reality surrounding the roster construction for 2026. Even after signing Bellinger and making a few additional moves, many felt […]
Art López could always hit. Despite an injured throwing arm that limited his effectiveness in the outfield, a diminutive stature, and little fanfare, he played until the age of 36, winning championships in six different countries. A hit tool can carry a ballplayer quite a long way, and despite his brief MLB career, the man […]
It was a busy day in Yankee land, as the Bombers won an early afternoon game against the Rangers, while also calling up one of the franchise’s more exciting prospects in Spencer Jones. It was an all around good win against Texas, as the Yanks were able to maintain their narrow lead in the East. […]
With outfielder Jasson Domínguez headed to the injured list after crashing into the outfield wall earlier this afternoon, the New York Yankees have opted to promote top prospect Spencer Jones, according to reports. Soon after, it was reported that, following the bullpen day, the Yankees were recalling Kervin Castro from the minors as well; he […]
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers lost to the Yankees yesterday, 9-2. Evan Grant writes about the slim margin of error the Rangers have to work with in order to get a win these days. Kennedi Landry touches on MacKenzie Gore, who was in control through five innings before the wheels shot off. Joc Pederson started […]
Yankees 9, Rangers 2
The Yankees are on a roll. After a 6-1 homestand in which they mopped the floor with the Orioles and decisively took two of three from the Rangers (again), the Bombers boast an AL-best 26-12 record. Now, they’ll shove off for a nine-game road trip, beginning with a three-game set against the Brewers in Milwaukee. […]

Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers are back in town, as they’ll host the Yankees and Padres over the next week. We’ll start things off this week with a question: Which opposing MLB stadium would you most (and least) like to visit to catch a game? Feel free to use this thread to chat […]
After a minor blip on Wednesday night, the Yankees got back to their winning ways, bruising their way past the Rangers en route to a series win. I’m sure Wednesday’s limp offensive effort, which bled into a slow start to the game on Thursday, had some fans worried that the offense was about to head […]
SNY | John Flanigan: Yankees outfielder Jasson Domínguez suffered a low-grade AC sprain in his left shoulder after crashing against the wall while making an impressive defensive play on Thursday. He tested negative for a concussion, but the shoulder injury sent him to the 10-day injured list anyway; they’ll continue to monitor for concussion symptoms […]
