Cam Schlittler dominates with a dozen strikeouts, Yankees beat Phillies in nailbiter
It is tempting to grumble about how this game was such a microcosm of the Yankee season. The starter was phenomenal, truly elite stuff, and the offense had three hitters that looked like they belonged in the majors. I’m gonna choose the optimism; Cam Schlittler is the best pitcher in the American League and he […]
New York Yankees @ Philadelphia Phillies: Cam Schlittler vs. Jesús Luzardo
It’s been a bit of a janky week for Yankee baseball, with a pair of rain-induced doubleheaders and a scheduled offday in the past six. We return to what is hopefully normal programming today, with the Bombers coming into Philadelphia for a three-game set against the second-place Phillies. It’s Cam Bump Day, as the ace […]
Yankees Mailbag: Biggest threats and playoff rosters
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. BetweenthePinstripes asks: Which AL team would be the toughest opponent for the Yankees in the playoffs? It’s well known how mediocre […]
Yankees potential trade target: Freddy Peralta
When the Mets traded for Freddy Peralta this offseason, they hoped they were getting the final key piece to a roster with championship aspirations: an ace. The right-hander had established himself as a premier starter during eight years in Milwaukee, peaking with a career year in 2025. Peralta won an NL-best 17 games while posting […]
Yankees Trade Deadline: What would an ideal haul look like?
The Yankees are sitting in the top Wild Card spot entering play on Friday, owners of the second-best record in the AL at 57-45 and just two games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for first place in the AL East. Claiming that top spot is vital to enabling a deep run in the postseason, as […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Joe Oliver
As we continue through the summer months of our illuminating Yankees birthday series, we are taken to every corner of baseball history. In the case of a day like today, we may dive into a career that was solid in one way or another, but only features a brief chapter with the Yankees. Joe Oliver […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Jays claw one away from Rays
Thursday was a rare quiet day across the American League, with just three games going on and only two of them on our radar. The Yankees were one of many that had the day off as they travelled to Philadelphia, so they had nothing to do but see if the Blue Jays could do them […]
New York Yankees vs. Philadelphia Phillies: Series Preview
In splitting a doubleheader on Wednesday, the Yankees secured a series victory over the Pirates, but it wasn’t the prettiest of victories. While they scored a total of 13 runs, not far off the MLB average for runs per game, they only actually scored runs in four of the 28 innings over the three games, […]
Yankees prospects: Beck shoves as Scranton shuts out Syracuse
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 2-0 vs. Syracuse Mets C J.C. Escarra 1-3, BB, KRF Spencer Jones 2-3, 2B, RBI, BB, K2B Marco Luciano 0-3, BB, K — some good defense from Scranton last night in the shutout PR-SS George Lombard Jr. 0-0 — wasn’t in the lineup, prompting questions, but he was just getting some […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 7/24/26
After a day off, the Yankees head down to Philadelphia. It’s almost exactly two years since New York’s last trip to Philly, and that one was a doozy. The Yankees swept a three-game set with the Phillies which featured a blowout in Game 1 and thrillers in both Game 2 and 3. The Yankees won […]
Yankees news: Reds’ catcher ‘could become’ an option via trade
The Athletic | Will Sammon and Ken Rosenthal: The Yankees are desperate for catching help at the deadline and, according to Rosenthal and Sammon, Cincinnati Reds’ Tyler Stephenson could become an alternative for them. The soon-to-be-30 backstop boasts a 92 wRC+ this year and a 104 mark for his career. The Bombers are also said […]
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 […]
Top Yankees prospect George Lombard Jr. is knocking on the big leagues’ doors
2023 Yankees first-round pick George Lombard Jr. entered the season with questions about his offense. Scouts, fans, and media all agreed that his defense was—and is—MLB-ready, but there were still doubts about his ability to hit big-league or high-minors pitching right out of the gate. It’s safe to say that Lombard has done his best […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: Brent Headrick (7/20)
The Yankees’ offense still feels stuck in first gear but fortunately their bullpen has transformed into one of the most shutdown units in the sport, which alongside stellar starting pitching has led to three wins in their last four. One of the biggest factors in the bullpen’s turnaround in form has been the performances of […]
Celebrating 55 years of being a Yankees fan
Being a Yankees fan is in my blood. My late father Bill was a diehard Yankees; his favorite player was Mickey Mantle. There was no way his first-born and only son was not going to be a Yankees fan. He took me to my first game 55 years ago, the anniversary of which just passed […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Ray Scarborough
On August 22, 1952, the Red Sox sold the contract of a 35-year-old swingman to their arch rivals. “He was no help to us,” said Lou Boudreau, Boston’s manager, bitterly. “I gave him plenty of chances to start and relieve and he didn’t come through.” In the midst of a pennant race, the mighty Yankees […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Red Sox winning streak ends, while Rays take another
Following multiple rainouts on Tuesday, Wednesday was chock-full of important action around the American League. The Yankees, playing a pair against the Pirates, split the two contests, while the rest of their AL East foes were tied up in important divisional matchups. It was an eventful day, as the Rays continued to beat up on […]
Yankees potential trade target: Bo Bichette
It’s been a disaster in Queens. The Mets are no longer the second-worst team in baseball, now merely tied with the Royals for the fourth-worst record. There’s some kind of a reset coming, with the team itself leaking that outside of Juan Soto and a couple young building blocks, anyone who can be moved is […]
Yankees prospects: George Lombard Jr. stays hot with three hits
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 4-5 vs. Syracuse Mets SS George Lombard Jr. 3-4, 2 2B, BB, K — just keeps rolling in return from the IL, even in defeat for Scranton; he’s 9-for-17 with three doubles and a homer across four games, up to an .832 OPS at Triple-AC J.C. Escarra 0-5, K, GIDP2B Marco […]
Which rival makes the biggest Trade Deadline splash?
Happy Thursday, everyone. The Yankees’ slumbering lineup threatened us with a doubleheader sweep and series loss at the hands of the Pirates, as they scored in only 2 of their 18 innings on offense yesterday. A late three-run homer by Ben Rice wasn’t enough to save them from losing in Manfredball in the opener, and […]
Yankees news: José Caballero’s routine targeted by MLB
Associated Press | Ronald Blum: José Caballero’s at-bat routine has been a source of conversation between the Yankees and Major League Baseball. Apparently, the league has joined other teams in growing weary of his refusal to acknowledge the pitcher until there are eight seconds remaining on the pitch clock. This has led to a series […]
Yankees split doubleheader as Max Fried dominates in first start back from injury
Pirates rookie Bubba Chandler entered this game with a 4.77 ERA and the highest walk rate (13.1-percent) of any starter in baseball. Of course, that means the Yankees got blanked and drew just one walk in his 6.1 innings of work. Fortunately, Max Fried was even more dominant in his first start back from injury […]
New York Yankees vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: Max Fried vs. Bubba Chandler
The Yankees came oh-so-close to completing another late comeback, only to stall out after Ben Rice’s game-tying three-run homer and eventually lose in extras. They still have a chance to split the doubleheader and win the series as they take the field less than three hours after the final out of Game 1, and they’ll […]
Fernando Cruz falters in extras as Yankees drop twin bill opener to Pirates
Weekday matinees are dumb. I get that it was partially a necessity today because of the rainout yesterday and it’s always used for a getaway game, but it was also pre-scheduled and it never looks right at Yankee Stadium. That’s not an excuse for what happened today, or why the Yankees always seem to be […]
New York Yankees vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: Gerrit Cole vs. Mitch Keller
Baseball’s a weird sport. Vibes can shift so quickly. I mean, Boston fans probably felt absolutely miserable about three weeks ago and now they haven’t lost since America was only 249 years old. The Rays, once 19 games over .500 and five games up in the AL East, are cooling off (though the collapsing Blue […]
